Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Canada: Ryerson University TA is imam who asked Allah to kill the enemies of Islam

Feb 25, 2017 5:24 pm By Robert Spencer

Ryerson, however, like every other mainstream university, would never dream of hiring someone who dared dissent from the official line that Islam is a religion of peace.

“Students urge Ryerson administration to fire a teaching assistant over anti-Jewish statements,” by Ilana Shneider, CIJ News, February 24, 2017:

Dozens of flyers calling on Ryerson University to fire teaching assistant Ayman Elkasrawy were plastered around campus on Friday (February 24, 2017) before they were taken down by campus security.

In 2016, Elkasrawy, who also serves as an imam at Masjid Toronto mosque which is affiliated with the Muslim Association of Canada, led a Ramadan service at the mosque during which he prayed to Allah to give Muslims victory over the infidels, to slay the enemies of Islam “one by one and spare not one of them”, and to “purify Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews”.

The flyers, which were signed by a group calling itself Ryerson Against Racism, urged Ryerson administration to fire Elkasrawy for making “extremely hateful statements about Jews”.

Following the CIJnews exposé on Masjid Toronto, B’nai Brith Canada – a leading Jewish human rights advocacy organization – contacted Ryerson to demand that swift action be taken against Elkasrawy for anti-Jewish comments he made at the mosque. “There is no place for someone who describes Jews as “filth” as a teaching assistant at a Canadian university, especially when this anti-Semitism is disguised as a pious religious expression”, B’nai Brith’s campus coordinator wrote in a statement.

On February 22, 2017, Jewish Defence League of Canada filed a hate crimes complaint with the Toronto Police against Masjid Toronto over the anti-Jewish supplications recited at the mosque.

Aedan O’Connor, third year Jewish student at Ryerson told CIJnews that she was distressed, but not surprised, to learn about what the teaching assistant said at the mosque.

O’Connor, who is still reeling from the walkout orchestrated by student union president Obaid Ullah during a debate on a motion to hold Holocaust Education Week on campus, said that “based on what happened with the Holocaust walkout, I don’t believe that Ryerson appropriately penalizes people who espouse anti-Semitism.”…

      Imagine the reaction if it had been a Christian professor who made those anti-Semitic statements! He or she would have been disciplined immediately and later fired. Liberals protect their precious muslims because they view muslims as a growing section of their coalition.

    • carol says

      Feb 27, 2017 at 10:20 am

      @ berserker…The M-103 motion will likely move to a free vote by each MP in April (the term “Islamophobia” caused a glitch). M-103 will NOT affect FREE SPEECH (according to this article):

      http://globalnews.ca/news/3256675/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-anti-islamophobia-motion-making-waves-in-ottawa/

      Instead it will only possibly lead to “a committee to study how to better tackle religious discrimination in Canada”. This means that even if it passes there is no requirement for the PM or his cabinet to take any action. The article states “M-103 will have no power to change Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms or any other law. Anyone who wishes to denounce Islam or Muslims publicly can still do so if this motion passes.” (Hate speech however is still a crime in Canada).

      Since Canadians supposedly can’t impeach the PM (surely a grass-roots movement could make changes?- I mean CANADA ISN’T THE KORAN after all?!!) then I find it very interesting (and hopeful) that we are suddenly hearing Jewish voices come more to the fore. The systemic hate speech toward Jews and non-Muslims in mosques and Islamic literature SHOULD become a central issue. HOW CAN THEY AVOID THIS?? – especially when part of M-103 is worded:

      “The government should “condemn Islamophobia and ALL FORMS of systemic racism and religious discrimination.”

      Moral: Maybe those who live in glass houses should think twice before throwing out stones. It would be amazing if they “got hoisted on their own petard.”

      • carol says

        Feb 27, 2017 at 10:27 am

        And speaking of “religious discrimination” shouldn’t APOSTASY be considered as such? An individual Muslim is not allowed to attend other places of worship and not allowed to change his belief system. That is religious tyranny and discrimination within your own group.

    • Dov Berrol says

      Feb 25, 2017 at 6:53 pm

      Is there a problem? Why can’t someone named Aedan O’Connor be a Jewish student at Ryerson? Perhaps her mother is Jewish. Or perhaps her father converted to Judaism. Or perhaps Aedan herself converted to Judaism. Please explain. This student is a very courageous member of Canada’s 350,000 strong Jewish community…

    • mach37 says

      Feb 26, 2017 at 7:16 pm

      Liberals are apparently totally ignorant of Islam; maybe they don’t understand that there is a connection between Islam and Muslims? It doesn’t help that Muslim women appear to be as self-hating as are Liberal white-haters.

    “There is no place for someone who describes Jews as “filth” as a teaching assistant at a Canadian university, especially when this anti-Semitism is disguised as a pious religious expression”, B’nai Brith’s campus coordinator wrote in a statement.

    Ayman Elkasrawy should speak up on this “misunderstanding” and clear things up once and for all: there’s no anti-semitism disguised as religion in what he said, he merely repeated standard islamic orthodoxy. What, are his critics trying to say that islam is anti-semitic?… Surely no Canadian official under Trudeau would dare to say something so hateful…

    Canada: Ryerson University TA is imam who asked Allah to kill the enemies of Islam
    ………………

    Good to see that some students are actually calling for this firing of this genocidal Mohammedan.

    But grotesque that “security” is pulling the flyers down. That means “security” is, wittingly or not, protecting someone calling for the slaughter of Jews–including Jewish students. *Sickening*.

    I hope all Canadians here write to Ryerson University about this.

  11. JIMJFOX says

    Feb 25, 2017 at 7:22 pm

    urged Ryerson administration to fire Elkasrawy for making “extremely hateful statements about Jews”.

    Great to see some backlash against official academic islamophilia. Trump would do well to ban all donations and other support from external sources, both for academia and mosque building.

    It is ironic for Canadian Parliamentarians to ban an undefined, theoretical, nebulous, unofficial ‘Islamophobia’, when Islam contains an intolerant, discriminatory doctrine that is ‘ESSENTIAL’, DEFINED, LEGALLY BINDING, PRECISE and OFFICIAL.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ – (Allegiance and Disassociation) is an Islamic doctrine that is very similar to apartheid.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is an ‘essential doctrine’ (usul ud-deen). ‘Essential’ means that all Muslims must believe and practice al Walaa wal Baraa as a condition of being admitted to paradise.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is a highly developed, well-supported and canonical part of Islam approved by the consensus of Islamic jurists.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is legally binding and obligatory upon all Muslims.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is precisely defined by Islamic jurists and is not a nebulous idea
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is an official Islamic doctrine and considered the second most important doctrine in Islam.
    Definition of ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ from Islamic sources:
    • -from “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: …“[iv] to show enmity to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger” (i.e. Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their enmity or towards the kufaar – non-Muslims)
    • -from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.” (i.e. the hatred of Muslims toward the kufaar is for the purpose of ethnic cleansing)

    Examples of Baraa from Historic Islamic Leaders:
    • -from Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
    • -from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers and never support them.”
    • -from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as enemies and hate them because of their kufr, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”

    • mach37 says

      Feb 26, 2017 at 7:34 pm

      “… those who show enmity to Allah and His Messenger” only show enmity because Allah’s Messenger showed the severest forms of enmity to everyone who did not abide by the Messenger’s word.
