An imam. How did a man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and teaching it properly get the idea that he should preach and pray against Jews and Christians? It is, as far as mainstream analysts are concerned, an insoluble mystery.
“Remarks against Christians, Jews: Singapore orders Indian Imam’s expulsion,” Daily Pioneer, April 4, 2017:
Singapore on Monday ordered expulsion of an Indian Imam after he was handed a nearly USD 3,000 fine by a court here for making divisive remarks against Christians and Jews during his Friday sermon at a mosque.
Nalla Mohamed Abdul Jameel pleaded guilty to a charge of promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion or race at the State Courts. He was handed a fine of Singaporean dollars 4,000 (USD 2,860), the Channel News Asia reported. In February, a video was circulated online of the imam reportedly reciting a prayer in Arabic that said, “God help us against Jews and Christians,” among other things.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), in a separate statement, said Nalla has paid the fine and will be repatriated. “Any religious leader from any religion who makes such statements will be held accountable for their actions,” the MHA said. “Under Singapore law, we can’t, regardless of his religion, allow anyone to preach or act divisively and justify that by reference to a religious text,” it said.
The Imam on Friday apologised to the Christian, Sikh, Taoist, Buddhist and Hindu representatives and members of the Federation of Indian Muslims, saying that he was “filled with great remorse” for the tension caused by his remarks.

Taqqieh in action and full swing. m
jim hane says
His real reason for apologising is to avoid putting Islam and his Prophet Muhammad on trial! The local Muslim leaders must have encouraged him to do this.
It’s just to avoid putting Islam, Prophet Muhammad and the canonical texts of Islam on trial/scrutiny by the non-Muslims in Singapore.
Godwin says
No, the message was the basic teaching for 1400 years as it was stated in the Kor’aan.
John W. says
Oooh ooh, I know the answer. Clearly he is yet another hijacker of a great religion.
God's Warrior says
Remorse for the tension caused,
But not for the remarks.
Stan Lee says
This imam took his “best shot”, and I believe he knew full well that he was disregarding Singapore law by doing so. Actually, his logic probably advises him that he must operate solely in accordance with his religion.
Now, through the monitoring of the Singapore MHA, he and his ilk are informed that Singapore’s law is paying attention and appropriately citing offenders.
The issue is not dead, one imam’s messages can be repeated by other imams, and a 1400 year directive in the koran will be repeated, because to imams, it is not Singapore’s law that must be regarded, but rather the directives of the koran.
Islam didn’t arrive in Singapore to observe that state’s laws, but their presence there is to proselytize
Islamic directives and motivations. Singapore authorities will need to follow the issue without interruption. Islam will most likely attempt other methods to achieve the desired penetration, therefore Singapore can expect constant efforts by Islam and not tire of enforcing its laws. That is important to all the people and not just a single group.
Jack Diamond says
What will the State Court make of the Qur’an then, with more divisive and hateful remarks against Jews & Christians than there is room to repeat? Or the WAR declared on them? Or the curses Muslims heap on Jews & Christians five times a day in their daily prayers?
Cognitive dissonance or not, this kind of behavior modification needs to be brought to North America pronto. Expulsion is a lovely word.
gravenimage says
Yes, Jack–this is mainstream Islam. Other Imams in Singapore are, no doubt, just a bit more discreet–either that, or they just haven’t been caught yet.
Peggy says
You’re right. For as long as those hateful verses remain part of their scriptures it won’t stop.
How do you stop a religious leader preaching the full doctrine? He can’t leave out bits and pieces which are not acceptable because he will then be considered an infidel himself.
So, either Islam is outlawed altogether or there will always be imams paying the fine or being expelled.
Maybe that’s what Singapore wants. Just expel all the imams and the Muslims have nobody to rally around.
dumbledoresarmy says
“Just expel all the imams and the Muslims have nobody to rally around.”
And shut down the mosques where the imams were preaching. After first surprise-searching said mosques (I bet you’d find all kinds of interesting stuff stashed away in the sub-basements…).
If every jihad-preaching hate-inciting imam or sheikh or mullah was expelled in this fashion, from every Infidel land where there is a mohammedan colony, and the associated mosque or mosques was shut down … and then bulldozed flat… and if at the same time, all further Muslim entry into all those infidel lands was STOPPED… and all non-citizen Muslims given the boot… the security headache of those countries would get a lot smaller and more manageable, pretty fast.
Godwin says
Bravo ! Tiny Singapore, a former colony of UK, can take stern action against all these Islamic clerics who preach enmity among the people.
What about spineless UK ? What a great shame when great numbers of Muslims cause havoc in the streets of UK cities n the British police can do nothing but to take the insults of these Muzzies. LOL !!!!!!!!!!
Wake up the citizens of UK before it is too late to save the country.!!!!!!!
rubiconcrest says
It is certainly step in the right direction, an important step in neutering Islam. If Imam’s cannot teach the literal Koran then the vast majority who don’t read themselves will not know any better and gradually the interpretation will change among the masses….
Oliver says
Isn’t Singapore mostly Muslim?
If so. Amazing
gravenimage says
No, it is not, Oliver. Singapore is only about 15% Muslim.
Only in the West is that considered a majority…or does it just seem that way?
Oliver says
Yes. It seems that they are the majority. Looking as to how the politicans etc are always kissing their assholes. Sorry about the language. Best I could think of.
gravenimage says
No problem, Oliver–I know just how you feel.
Mahendra Singh says
The split occurred right after the British decided to leave Colonial Malaya.
The Chinese who were and still are the predominant Business community
realized they will be swamped by Muslims. They ran successfully a campaign to
separate the City State of Singapore from Malaya, which was renamed as
Malayasia. Present day Singapore’s population is predominantly Chinese
(Buddhist and Christian), with a 15 percent Hindu and some Muslims.
Bob says
Agreed – if only the UK would drop all thevfear of islamaphobia, and follow Singapore’s example – kick the problem imams out! But as matters stand, if ever that happens it’ll be too late!
Jeanette says
Except that they have allowed Muslims to get their population up to 15% there, and with herd breeding practiced by Muslims, that number is growing exponentially.

As you put it Robert— “It is, as far as mainstream analysts are concerned, an insoluble mystery”
I can just see them scratching their heads like 3 year olds trying to connect the dots.
Well if any of you dumbass analysts are watching — here’s a hint, see if you can follow these dots
Islam …………………. jihad
Islam ………………….. indoctrinated hatred
Islam ………………….. extreme bigotry
etc. …..etc…..etc….
Hope this helps.
By the way — I was wondering if you could help me with a personal problem.
I’m having a problem finding my own arse
I’ve heard that you analysts are having the same problem.
If you ever solve this problem, can you please let me know.
mortimer says
CONDEMN all forms of KAFIROPHOBIA !!!
KAFIROPHOBIA is the HATRED of dirty kafirs ‘FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH’ !
KARIFOPHOBIA fills over 60% of the Koran… therefore…
… the KORAN is HATE LITERATURE that should be BANNED IN SINGAPORE !!!
jim hane says
The whole non-Muslim world should just ban Islam and Muslim migration.
Bob says
AMEN- shouted!!
Jeanette says
Nothing short of that will solve the problem.
And confining the Muslims to non-western regions will give them the chance to reduce their population by killing off only other Muslims.
Voytek Gagalka says
“Insoluble mystery” only for those who refuse to examine the life of Mohammed (Sira). Consult that alone and answers are clear.
R Cole says
One way to deal with it. Oh! Canada should take note. If a Muslim imam is calling for the deaths of Jews and Christians in the mosques, you simply deport them. The state shouldn’t have to send the police in to spy on them, it just shouldn’t be tolerated. One less calling for an Islamic uprising, in the country that so generously hosts them. And the country, just a little bit safer.
Muslims are always talking about freedom of speech should have limits, when it comes to protecting their religious beliefs from scrutiny. However in the name of their religion, call for deaths and destruction of non-Muslims. But long ago we, in the west agreed, that incitement to violence should not included in freedom of speech. Time they understood this distinction.

Don’t mess with Singapore. Message heard loud and clear… You break our laws, you get your @ss thrown out. Period.

Hey, nice one, Singapore!
Matthieu Baudin says
Singapore has a resident Muslim population of around 15% of the total population. However, in the period of International Jihad Militancy, the authorities have consistency shown that they will act decisively in the countries interest, will apply the law evenly and will not be intimidated. Competence with a big ‘C’ I’d say!
Robert John Bennett says
Who knew that we could count on little Singapore to do the right thing?
Now, if only most of the countries of the European Union would learn the lesson Singapore is trying to teach. Sure, there may be other imams in Singapore who preach the same thing, only more “discreetly,” but to get rid of even one is an achievement.
(Incidentally, don’t you love they way bureaucratese is, in spite of everything, alive and well even in Singapore? The Ministry of Home Affairs could not bring itself to say that Nalla was “expelled.” He was simply “repatriated.” Well, either way, he’s gone.)

Oh why didn’t I think of that expression for all these scum Moslems.

muslim students from all islamic countries are hosted at EL-AZHAR and taught this and told it is their religious duty to spread this all over the world
