This is not some aberration. There are many more mosques where this kind of thing is preached, because the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); as fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); claiming that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); loving to listen to lies (5:41); disobeying Allah and never observing his commands (5:13); disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more.
“Montreal mosque facing calls for investigation after imam preaches on anti-Semitic conspiracy theories,” by Stewart Bell, National Post, February 28, 2017 (thanks to The Geller Report):
TORONTO—A Montreal mosque where an imam had prayed for Jews to be killed “one by one” is facing fresh calls for an investigation after more videos surfaced online showing anti-Semitic preaching.
The Middle East Media Research Institute released a video on Tuesday of sermons in which an imam at the Al Andalous Islamic Centre conveyed conspiracy theories about Jews, their history and their origins.
Sheikh Wael Al-Ghitawi is shown in the video clips claiming that Jews were “people who slayed the prophets, shed their blood and cursed the Lord,” reported MEMRI, which translated the Friday sermons.
The imam went on to say Jews were the descendants of “Turkish mongols” and had been “punished by Allah,” who made them “wander in the land.” He further said that Jews had no historical ties to Jerusalem or Palestine.
The view conveyed by the imam has typically been used to deny that Jews have a connection to the land of Israel, said Rabbi Reuben Poupko, co-chair of the Quebec branch of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.
“This is a bizarre strain of radical propaganda. It appears in the writings of Hamas and other groups like it and claims to debunk Jewish history,” said the rabbi, who said it was “unseemly” to use a religious service to propagate hate.
He said he did not believe such views, as well as the “deeply troubling” earlier calls to violence, were supported by the broader Muslim community “but its presence in this mosque needs to be investigated.”
The videos were posted on YouTube in November 2014. The centre was already in the spotlight over an August 2014 video that showed an imam asking Allah to “destroy the accursed Jews,” and “kill them one by one.”
In a press release last week concerning the August 2014 video, the mosque administration blamed “clumsy and unacceptable phrasing” by a substitute imam, whose wording was “tainted by an abusive generalization.” The mosque could not be reached for comment about the most recent video.
“If you examine the annals of history you will see that the Jews do not have any historical right to Palestine,” Al-Ghitawi said in the latest video. He claimed there was “not a single Jew in Jerusalem and Palestine” for lengthy periods.
“Jerusalem is Arabic and Islamic,” he said at a separate sermon. “It is our land, the land of our fathers and forefathers. We are the people most entitled to it. We will not forsake a single inch of this land.”…
concerned canadian says
Dont worry Trudeau is all over it
He will give the guy a hug
efoc says
That’s what I thought. He will probably have him over for dinner. Halal, of course.
Dawn says
More then a hug a medal of honor ! Sad how if we don’t agree with Islam its called Islamophobe but he is sighting hate nothing happens isn’t that just a little messed up.
mortimer says
THE POLICE need to give this guy a WARRANT for his ARREST on a charge of inciting genocide!!!
AleX says
Instead they keep arresting Eric Brazeau for peacefully and democratically denouncing islam in Toronto. Canadian justice looks like a joke now. It resembles justin turdeau, the pojama clown and mosque boy.
Angus says
Doesn’t Canada have hate speech laws for just this type of criminal behavior???
Or are those laws only used against non muslims???
mortimer says
To Angus:
Criminal Code of Canada
Section 318: Hate Propaganda
(1) Every one who advocates or promotes genocide is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.
Definition of “genocide”
(2) In this section, “genocide” means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part any identifiable group, namely,
(a) killing members of the group; or
(b) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction.
frederick King says
Muslim sensibilities are excluded from all infidel laws. anything else would be islamophobic.
ninetyninepct says
Yes, Canada’s hate laws are contained in Section 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

Read through it and see that Islam clearly violates this Code. There is a section on Defence which mentions using religion as an excuse / defense against this Criminal Code. The problem Islam runs into is that it would have to prove that it is a “religion”. It isn’t. It is a theocracy which is an entire system of Government that is controlled by so called “religious” beliefs. No elected Government, just imams.

The Koran also meets every definition of Hate Literature and according to Canadian Law, should be banned from Canada.
“Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire,hooked iron rods,boiling water,melt their skin and bellies”
koran 22:191
“Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the koran”
koran 8:12
“Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize islam”
koran 5:33
“When opportunity arises kill the infidels wherever you find them”
koran 9:5

““This is a bizarre strain of radical propaganda. It appears in the writings of Hamas and other groups like it and claims to debunk Jewish history,” said the rabbi, who said it was “unseemly” to use a religious service to propagate hate.”
It is not unseemly for imams. It is very much standard practice, rabbi. Islamic ideology hates Jews, Mohammed hated and killed Jews and so his followers consequently do the same. This is the reality.
Lynn says
When the imams in mosques say these things, do they speak in English so that everyone can understand or do they speak in Arabic?
Jaladhi says
This imam and other imams don’t care because they know that the West has no guts to censure them since they will start shouting Islamophobia, racism, bigoted, etc, etc, which will effectively shut up criticism.. The West should forget its phony morality of not criticizing Islam and its followers if they want to survive. These imams should be prosecuted as vigorously for hate filled sermons under the law as they will do to Christians or any body else.
Stan Lee says
On any given day, this imam will be repeating the vile message he carries in his heart. I’m not sure if even a lobotomy would succeed in erasing his hate, because he would still have his koran at his disposal.
Angemon says
Oh, the islamophobia!!!
Shmooviyet says
Well, the rabbi DID use the word “unseemly”. ?
Shmooviyet says
This is that other “nothing to do with” islam we hear about from the media– so unlike the one practiced by that adorable mosque in Philadelphia blowing its horn regarding their “Jewish brothers and sisters” and the headstone destruction.
mortimer says
The ‘Islamophobia’ ban promoted by the well-meaning STUPID POLITICIANS will simply EMBOLDEN THE TERRORISTS.
KrazyKafir says
Seems the gutless National Post has pulled the story

““Jerusalem is Arabic and Islamic,” he said at a separate sermon. “It is our land, the land of our fathers and forefathers. We are the people most entitled to it. We will not forsake a single inch of this land.”…”
WRONG.
Muslims are NOT entitled to Jerusalem the only thing they are entitled to is Saudi Arabia especially living there if you know what I mean.
Sarah says
We better all buy Conservative memberships and push to get Kellie Leitch elected 1st as party leader then PM. She is the only one really willing to say and do what needs doing. No job, no English, no assimilation, no Canada
Paskudni says
I agree.She knows what is going on..
RichardL says
wow! Is that guy ugly, or what?
Florida Jim says
If every Mosque in the Mideast preaches hatred and murder of Jews and infidels don’t you think every mosque everywhere does the same? Muslims should be deported as they flood the hospitals with new born beheaders, You cannot believe in The Caliphate, Sharia, Jihad, Taqiyya and not be ant-Christian and anti- American this is grounds for deportation,, isn’t it?
Michael Jacobs says
Touching or kissing a certain stone in the city of Mecca belongs to the ‘Five pillars of Islam’, but speaking the truth does not. I think that indicates who are the real heathens and idolaters.
Bruce Hachey says
Isn’t is interesting that they[Muslims ] can say what they want i.e. preaching hatred against Jews and nothing is done about it by our government , but ,say anything about Islam and you can be arrested . We need a government that can get the job done . Steven Harper, where are you ?

“clumsy and unacceptable phrasing” by a substitute imam, whose wording was “tainted by an abusive generalization.”
TAQIYYA.
