The blog Harry’s Place (thanks to Clueless Joe) has an interesting piece about a preacher at London mosque:
I am assuming that Sheikh Abdur-Rahman al-Sudays, Imam of the Ka’ba who is in London today to preach at the East London Mosque is the same person as Sheikh Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sudayyis, Imam of the Al-Haraam mosque in Mecca who has delivered himself of the following gems:
In one of his sermons … Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sudayyis… beseeched Allah to annihilate the Jews. He also urged the Arabs to give up peace initiatives with them because they are “the scum of the human race, the rats of the world, the violators of pacts and agreements, the murderers of the prophets, and the offspring of apes and pigs.”
“Read history,” called Al-Sudayyis in another sermon, “and you will understand that the Jews of yesterday are the evil fathers of the Jews of today, who are evil offspring, infidels, distorters of [others’] words, calf-worshippers, prophet-murderers, prophecy-deniers… the scum of the human race ‘whom Allah cursed and turned into apes and pigs…’ These are the Jews, an ongoing continuum of deceit, obstinacy, licentiousness, evil, and corruption.”
