This is tantamount to a call for his murder. “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land.” (Qur’an 5:33)
“Toronto imam: Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper ‘is the enemy of Islam,'” by Jonathan Halevi, Alternative Angle, February 7, 2015 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
Shaykh Said Rageah (الشيخ سعيد راجح) was born in Somalia and in the late 80sn moved to North America. Rageah has a Bachelor’s in Islamic studies and a Masters in Shari’ah and he has had several posts over the years, including: founder of Masjid Huda in Montreal and Masjid Aya in Maryland, advisor for Muslim Youth magazine, and member in the Aqsa Association.
He is also the founder of both Muslim Magazine and Al Aqsa Association, and served as the Chaplain at both the University of Calgary and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). Currently, he serves as Imam at the Abu Hurairah Mosque in Toronto, the Chairman for the Journey of Faith Conference and as an instructor for the AlMaghrib Institute.
Rageah was invited in 2012 to give a speech on Islamic issues at Assalam Mosque in Ottawa. The following is an excerpt (25:20-26:59) of his speech (the video was uploaded to YouTube on September 12, 2012):
“If one of us was invited by the Prime Minister of this country [Stephen Harper] and he says: ‘I’ll give you a special invitation, exclusive invitation, come to my house, have dinner with me, chat with me, sit with me, talk to me, I’ll talk to you.’ I guarantee you, everyone of you will come out of that meeting raising his head with pride, so proud of himself, so pleased, you know, twitting every second: O I’m sitting with the Prime Minister [Stephen Harper], you know, you know, putting on Facebook: This is my picture with the Prime Minister [Stephen Harper], you know, and you’ll brag on that day and night. Every single moment when someone says: Peace be upon you, (السلام عليكم), O do you know I was just chatting with the Prime Minister [Stephen Harper]. When Someone says: ‘How are the children?’ ‘His house is excellent.’ Your life will be nothing but him, and he [Stephen Harper] is the enemy of Islam. He [Stephen Harper] is an enemy of Islam. I guarantee you, we go to him right now, and he is the man who said, you know, the threat of this country is Islamism. All of us would say: ‘Mister Prime Minister, can we take a picture with you?’ We are so proud of that, because it is the human nature, but Allah is telling you: ‘Stay with me every night.’ Seclusion (خلوة) with Allah we don’t care. We don’t care. The voluntary prayer during the night (قيام الليل) is a conversation (نجوة) between you and Allah, no one else.”
Rageah did not elaborate in his speech what is the Islamic ruling regarding an “enemy of Islam.” In previous speech (February 2012) at the University of Waterloo as part of the Islamic Awareness Week organized by the local Muslim Students Association (MSA) ans partially funded by the university, Rageah implicitly justified the death penalty for apostates and those who insult the prophets….
noellsq says
He is allowed to speak hate and murder??????????????????????
Richie says
Remember though, he is a Muslim, so by default whatever he says or does doesn’t matter; as Muslims are to always be seen as the victim
Bamaguje says
That’s the thanks Canada gets for offering refuge to the Somali ingrate… subtle threats of murder.
noellsq says
They are unhappy everywhere they go. I have a blind friend they would not let them in his taxi with his dog.
Judi says
He is allowed to emigrate to Canada? I tried unsuccessfully years ago to apply for a residents permit, but was turned down. How come this vermin are given free entry, no questions asked,not only in Canada but the US, Australia and New Zealand. Maybe I should have worn a burqa and changed my religion!
wtd says
Shaykh Said Rageah and his ideology is an enemy of humanity.
Richie says
Notice that even when Muslims advocate murder, they still paint themselves as victims
Georg says
I would really love to know why all these people who revile our culture insist upon living here. There are many places where they’d be ideologically cozy. Why not reside there? Why must they torture themselves such, and us with them? If any one of them would like some funds to move where they’d be happy, I’m sure we could get some humanitarian crowdsourcing together.
There are places which are a veritable paradise on Earth for them. There nobody dares draw Muhammad, the call to prayer can be heard clearly 5 times a day and is universally adhered to. Lots of wives, no Western education, all halal. Why partake in the bitter fruits of kuffar civilization– please– go enjoy the sweet yield of Dar al Islam!
jihad3tracker says
Hello Georg —
There is one simple, basic reason that Muslims — especially clerics — want to live in Western democracies like Canada :
SO THEY CAN WORK FOR THE IMPOSITION OF SHARI’AH AND THE EVENTUAL DESTRUCTION OF DEMOCRACY . . . Advancing the total geography on which a Caliphate is in power.
Georg says
Although I can certainly understand why you’d think that, I am confident their reasons are even less noble (as shocking as they may be). They want:
a) roof
b) food
c) Western conveniences
Their civilization does not, and likely can not, produce it. So they come here and continue on with the culture they’ve fled. It’s called being incredibly, incredibly moronic. And you and I are paying the price (quite literally).
Georg says
And they’d die before admitting this because:
d) It’s embarrassing
e) They’re incapable of feeling embarrassed
f) They can grant the kuffar nothing
g) They’ve convinced themselves they’re on hijra when in fact they’re run-of-the-mill refugees. Europeans had the humility to admit it when they came here
h) They’re incapable of humility (I have a rough idea of where that originates)
i) They’re thankless dorks who fetishize something which doesn’t exist (shockingly, this leaves one maladjusted)
jihad3tracker says
Georg, I agree completely with you about those benefits of living in the West.
But what I call “FFM”s — Fully Functioning Muslims ( not the ones analogous to “Cafeteria Catholics”, choosing to engage in only some, not all, important elements of their faith ) are ever mindful of Islam’s mandate to spread itself to every part of the globe.
Elizabeth says
Maybe more than one thing can be true at the same time.
mariam rove says
Well said. M
Georg says
Why, thank you, M.
Georg says
What can I say? I’m just on my high horse.
Georg says
@Jihad3tracker
I don’t begrudge you that they’d love to see Canada submit. I guess my point is, don’t let them fool you, as they do themselves, into thinking that’s why they’ve come here.
katherine says
Haven’t you heard of immigration jihad ? Where have you been – just ask Pam Geller.
IQ al Rassooli says
The followers of Muhammad come to the West to subvert, undermine, leech and destroy us
The followers of Muhammad have the thinking and deductive intellect of a RETARD
Our enemies are our Politically Correct leaders who should be put on trial for TREASON. They are NOT willing to connect the dots that Islam is the enemy of every human being on planet Earth including Muslims
1400 years ago the child rapist, mass murdering Muhammad declared Total War against ALL human beings who do not believe in him as the messenger of his god Allah
Allah was the name (still is) of the supreme rock god of 360 other deities of Pagan Arabia centuries BEFORE Muhammad metamorphosed him into the God of the Bible
All Muslims (1.5 billions) are Hatemongering Warmongering Misogynist Duplicitous Hypocritical Intolerant Disloyal Racist Vile and hence utterly Ungodly
Although Muslims have ALWAYS been the Victimizers, with obscene degrees of Hypocrisy & Cowardice the ALWAYS pretend to be the Victims!

Angela Mular says
You are the enemy of Canada…Leave Canada YOU terrorist criminal garbage…….Leave Canada in Peace and take your evil and your hate with you…
Georg says
I strongly concur [as shouted from a hill in the distance atop my high horse].
Jay Boo says
” exclusive invitation, come to my house”
That is an interesting choice of words by Shaykh Said Rageah.
Canada has invited way too many of his fellow Muslims into their house who often cry that they are victims of political persecution only to insult (with veiled threats) the hospitality of the same host country that offered them asylum once they get settled in.
Charli main says
Hold out a helping hand to a Muslim—expect to get bitten—-Islam 101
Georg says
^ I’ve heard about this…
Bezelel says
islam is an enemy of the west, everyone just get over it and let’s do what has to be done. Ship the imam back to somalia and anyone who agrees with him.
Ed says
Thanks for this piece, Mr. Spencer!
One small correction, though: it’s not نجوة but نجوى
Johnny Pallyswine says
In 2011:
According to Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey, there were 1,053,945 Muslims in Canada or about 3.2% [1] of the population, making them the second largest religion after Christianity and the fastest growing religion in Canada.[2] In the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), 7.7% of the population is Muslim, making GTA the highest concentration of Muslims in any city in North America.[3] A majority of the Muslim population in Canada follow Sunni Islam, while a significant minority adheres to the Shia and Ahmadiyya branch.[4]
Brittliam1 says
I am Canadian and can assure all that we totally support Prime Minister Harper. We abhor the immigration of Muslims to Canada and, believe me, people are waking up. I spoke of this problem years ago and everyone in my circle of friends and family thought I was being extreme. They all see the truth now. We will not permit what has happened in Europe to happen here,
Georg says
Good for you, Brittliam1. I’ve experienced similar reactions when warning about the Islamization of Europe. Then, when something like Charlie Hebdo happens, the same people who regarded you as “extreme” are thoroughly befuddled, thinking, “Gee… how did this happen? It’s not fair.” Then after 3 days they’re back to not caring until the next much worse incident/s when they temporarily care much more than they did the last time– and it repeats itself. Blah, I must get back to work. I could spend all day conversing with you all about just how upsetting this is. If nothing else, it’s nice to know there are people out there who are similarly bothered by odiousness of this all.
Best to you.
Alissa says
I completely agree Brittliam1. We have a leader with courage and integrity. God bless Stephen Harper for standing his ground and setting a great example for Canadians and for other world leaders and westerners alike. Harper also went to Israel to show his support for Netanyahu in person when no other western leader did. Harper is a good man and he makes me proud to be a Canadian.
noellsq says
You should be but their are few of you with power. To disagree you are a racist and to agree with them you have to give up your values.
Georg says
Agreed. Bless Prime Minister Harper, and bless Canada. Canada is a wonderful country to learn from.
Jaladhi says
The Somalians who have been given shelter from Islamic war torn Somalia are finally showing their true colors. Never trust a Muslim and never allow them to come to your house!! Oops .. tat is too late to close the barn door – the barbarians are in now – reap the fruit now!!!
St. Croix says
That’s the best endorsement yet for PM Harper’s party to win the next election. I see the majority of Canadians having serious issues with Islamic jihadism and even if they don’t know a lot about Islam. We are learning fast. Anyone with a radio, television or internet cannot escape hearing some of the worst things IS and Boko Haram are doing. The idea “this is not Islam” is not being bought by the average Canadian. At least our country’s leader is not saying it every few minutes! Not to brag.
Even if many Canadians are not fans of the current gov’t for other reasons, the PM’s current stance on the very real Islamic threat will swing some votes. Presently PM Harper’s support in the polls is rising while Justin Trudeau’s is eroding.
Joseph says
AND WHERE ARE THE “HATE SPEECH” CHARGES NOW??????
Solsticewitch13 says
I am so fed up with islam’s crap I sent this whole page directly TO Mr. Stephen Harper!!
I think we all should share articles about islam with our fantastic leader.
Richie says
Is there any reason why this Muslim parasite shouldn’t be deported?
Georg says
No
Don McKellar says
Reading the transcript of that rambling rant, he was clearly high on hash or that leaf that moslems chew.
Kevin Walker says
Whatever our PM Stephen Harper is doing is most commendable. No other prominent leader of any western country has spoken so candidly & gallantly as Mr. Harper.
However, under his regime (almost a decade) the mohammedan population has more than doubled & they still constitute a primary source of our immigrants & foreign students. He just announced to bring in 13000 more mohammedans from Syria & Iraq.
I, and many like me, are baffled by this high rate of mohammedan immigration, I wonder what is stopping him from pulling a plug on mohammedan immigration?
LairdKintyre says
It matters not what you think of Him. He is your Prime Minister. You are allowed to spout your bloody nonsense, through the good graces of that Prime Minister, and the Laws of our Land. You best keep a civil tongue, m’lad, or you can be one of the first to face Canada’s new anti-terrorism laws.

David says
An enemy of Islam is usually referring to Muslims who secretly or openly instigate trouble and mishief in the name of the Quran.
Those who ‘wage war’ against Islam is referring simply to those who attack and are aggressors. This verse presupposes that the people (Islam) is being attacked not the aggressors. ISIS wage war against Zislam’s as they degrade it’s Holy Name and defile Gid’s religion with their filth and vile atrocities.
An Imam has no standing in the Quran. No person has any authority given to them by the Quran.
There is NO authoritative interpretation of the Quran except the interpretations given by Baha’u’llah and the Bab Who are Prophets sent direct by God recently and thus can decree what is supposition and what is truth. (Baha’is believe)
The current understanding of the Quran amongst Muslims is unfaithful to the Quran. In other words 1.6 billion Muslims do not possess an interpretation of the Quran which is faithful to the Quran. So they are Muslims in name only. They cannot be true Muslims if they do not possess the correct interpretation of the Quran.
It simply means they are following their own vain and idle imaginings not the Quran.there are no professed Muslims alive today who are faithful to the Quran as they do not believe all it teaches only the parts which are falsely interpreted by their self appointed imposters the Mullas who have no authority from the Quran to guide anyone.
So we therefore witness imposters masquerading as leaders of Islam while killing and torturing people and another 1.6 billion blindly unquestioningly following these false imposters.
This was Baha’u’llah’s answer revealed if all places in Baghdad and what all Muslims should be following…. Baha’u’llah of course abolished priesthood so a Mulla’s word is no better than yours or mine.
“O Son of Spirit!
The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes.”

Dear Laura you should NOT insult the skunks (or any other animal or insect) because Muhammadan Muslims are the lowest rung in creation
The sole purpose for their existence is to Slaughter Destroy Plunder Enslave Rape the wealth and produce of all OTHERS
Ummat Muhammad (Muslims) (20% of current humanity, 1.5 billions) are the LEAST Productive Inventive and or Creative in human history BUT have the audacity to unleash their murderous Sharia against Ummat al Kuffar/ Nation of Infidels (currently 80% of none Muslim humanity)
Ummat al Kuffar is the Most Productive Inventive Creative & Powerful in human history BUT unfortunately our spineless, clueless and treacherous leaders are running scared like a chicken without a head
I would love to have a Muslim (or any of their retarded supporters) to ask me to PROVE my statements

Angemon says
I have something I’d like to confess: I too am an enemy of islam. Not because I’m a racist, or because hit my head somewhere and became afflicted with “islamophobia”, but because islam chose to make an enemy out of me. It’s not that islam teaches that I, as a non-muslim, am doomed to suffer in hell in my afterlife – I don’t believe in an afterlife, so I can live with that. No, my problem is that islamic orthodoxy says really nasty things about me. For example, it says that I’m the worst of creatures (quran 98:6), but it doesn’t stop there – according to the quran, among other things, I’m deaf, dumb and blind (2:171), I’m diseased and a liar (2:10), and untrustworthy (3:73).
Now, vile as those verbal abuses are, I could live with them. As they say, “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me”. However, it doesn’t end there – the quran instructs muslims not to take me as a friend (4:144), and not to have any kind of affection for me (58:22). That makes living alongside an observant muslim quite hard, wouldn’t you say?
And it doesn’t end there. The quran allows muslims to take non-muslims like me as slaves (33:26), and it orders muslims to fight me because I don’t believe in allah or muhammad (9:29).
And why is it that I don’t believe in allah or muhammad? According to the quran, because allah wills it so in order to fill hel (32:13). Allah could have guided me to islam, but chose not to do so (16:93), and he did so on purpose, going as far as to send demons to “mislead” me (19:83). In fact, allah made my disbelief pleasant to me (27:4), and will deny that what I did was right – even though he made it seem so to me – and send me to hell (16:28, 16:29).
So you see, I’m an enemy of islam because islam made an enemy out of me.
Guuleyste Ali says
That is exactly why i left Islam the religion of my family and ancestors. It is violent, bigoted, inhumane barbaric, obsolete and unfit for modernity.
Angemon says
Kudos to you, Guuleyste Ali – considering the penalty for apostasy and the incumbency of its execution on ever muslim, it took courage.

Thank goodness PM Harper is an enemy of Islam. May God protect him, the only one in the West who gets it and is not afraid to say so. And if the Immam doesn’t like it, he can crawl back to whatever rat-infested hole he came from.

People like him should be eliminated from our society and sent to where he can preach to people with the same sick ideas. I approve of freedom of speech but when this freedom is allowed and calls for the elimination of free speech and death to non believers it must stop
Mulakush says
Is there a law that states that haters of Canadian constitution and law should be deported? Being a naturalized citizen myself, I remember swearing an oath of allegiance to the Queen and by extension to Canadian laws etc. I hope that deportation of such people who preach murder (especially of Canadian officials) is in there some where and rigorously imposed.
Daniel says
When you swore your oath of allegiance you swore it to the Queen and to uphold the laws of Canada. A practicing m***** accepts no allegiance to the Queen or Canadian laws. A practicing m*****, it is written in many places, is above the laws of the land. None of them should be considered citizens.

Here is a little shout out for the Toronto Imam-this is for you haji!
Q: Is his mosque a Trojan Horse filled with Manchurian Candidates waiting to be activated? Let’s see what Sam Solomon, former professor of Sharia Law says about the function of Mosques. Beware!
Specifically, how is a mosque a threat to the community within which it is built?
Every single mosque in the world, by definition, is modeled on the mosque of Muhammad in Medina in accordance with the Sunnah. The Sunnah interprets the Qur’an by reporting exhaustively on everything that Muhammad said, did, or consented to. Therefore, his Medina mosque, the first mosque, was a place where he gave judgments, where he decided who would be executed, where he instituted policy—domestic and military— where Jihad war strategies were designed. Consequently, it was a storage place for arms, a military training base, and was where troops were blessed and dispatched. Literally they were sent to conquer – first the whole of Arabia, and then the rest of the known world. Therefore if the present-day mosque is modeled as per the Sunnah of Muhammad then there should be very serious concern. As is well-known, Muslims are required to follow the example (Sunnah) of Muhammad—and according to Sura 33:36 it is not an option or a matter of opinion: “It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.” This explains and establishes beyond doubt why arms have been found in mosques in various countries, and in different capital cities.
In addition to the undisputed significance of the Medina mosque as the role model for all Mosques, there is also the Islamic policy of establishing strategic Mosques as beachheads with interconnected networks. Taken together, these two policies do constitute a clear and present danger—and a need for concern.
For example, when Abu Hamza[1] was the Imam of the Finsbury Park mosque in the United Kingdom, he trained people, he sent out terrorists and British authorities found arms stored there. He was well within his Islamic mandate as these activities were sanctioned by Islam. He didn’t find it wrong because it is in the Islamic manuals. Another prime example of a mosque being found to have engaged in high-level political, military and intelligence activities is the Munich Mosque, which is now considered by Islamists to be on a par with some of highest-ranked Mosques in Muslim countries.[2]
