The Koran says Islam's
prophet Mohammad is a "beautiful pattern of conduct"
(33:21) and an "exalted standard of character" (68:4).
Therefore, the purpose of a
mosque is based on the example of Mohammad.
Mohammad used the mosque as
the seat of Islamic government where sharia was adjudicated. It was a
place for muslims to gather and learn about Islam. It was a place to
plan battles and train jihadis. It was a place to store weapons.
A mosque is the place from
which jihad is launched.
And, oh by the way, a
mosque is used for prayer as well.
"In Muhammad's time the mosque played an
important role in encouraging muslims to wage jihad."
Sheikh Yusuf al Qaradawi (Islamic scholar, Senior Jurist for the
International Muslim Brotherhood)
"The mosque is the bastion of the great
jihad"
Ayatollah Khomeini
"The mosques are our barracks, the domes
our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, and the faithful our
soldiers."

In Afghanistan and Iraq,
U.S. forces always found weapons in mosques.
In Europe, security
officials find weapons in the mosques they raid.
In 2009, Imam Luqman
Abdullah of the Masjid al Haq in Detroit, Michigan was shot and
killed by law enforcement (FBI/local police) when he fired on them
killing a police dog. One of the source's in the case testified
he/she participated in weapons training inside the mosque.

A mosque is not an
"Islamic church." A mosque is not a "place of
worship."
A mosque is the seat of
Islamic government.
A mosque is more aptly
likened to an embassy or military outpost.
