That’s right: he won’t be fired, he’ll be “retrained.” Imagine if a Jewish rabbi or Christian priest had called for the killing of Muslims: there would be an international outcry, and he would have been fired before there was even any press attention to his remarks. But this will get little notice. He will be “retrained,” no doubt in making sure not to say things in public that could come to the unwelcome notice of the Infidels, and that will be that.
“NJ imam who called for murder of Jews to undergo ‘retraining,'” JTA, December 17, 2017:
JTA – The imam of a New Jersey mosque will be sent for “retraining” after delivering anti-Semitic sermons.
Sheikh Aymen Elkasaby, imam of the Islamic Center of Jersey City, in a sermon earlier this month, called Jews “apes and pigs,” and urged his followers to: “Count them one by one, and kill them down to the very last one. Do not leave a single one on the face of the Earth.” A translated transcript of his sermon was published by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.
He also said of Jews: “They are the most cowardly of nations. They are the weakest of all peoples.”
The speech was a rallying cry for the Al-Aqsa Mosque located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The imam said that the mosque remains “a humiliated prisoner under the oppression of the Jews,” and called on Allah to “bring Al-Aqsa back into the fold of Islam and the Muslims.”
The president of the Islamic Center of Jersey City, Ahmed Shedeed, told the Algemeiner that Elkasaby will meet with interfaith scholars who will “consult with and retrain him.” He compared the retraining to “rehab.”…
Shedeed said he was not present in the mosque for either of the speeches.
He noted that the Islamic Center in Jersey City had been located there for forty years. Shedeed also has served as a member of the New Jersey Homeland Security Interfaith Advisory Council.
Oh, good.
John W. says
How could an imam, who has dedicated his life to properly understanding Islam, have it so wrong? I do hope they send honorary imams Francis and McMaster to assist with the retraining.
mortimer says
John, this is a SHEIKH (‘senator’), rather than a humble ‘mullah’. This title is given to SENIOR IMAMS in a manner similar to an honorary PhD ‘doctor’.
If a SHEIKH doesn’t understand Islam correctly, then NO ONE understands Islam. The ‘interfaith’ clergy are KAFIRS and they cannot instruct a SHEIKH on the meaning of Islam.
Johnny Cuyana says
Mortimer, based on your writings I know that YOU KNOW that most likely there is NO RETRAINING of this imam; nor of MANY [most … all?] of the other fundamental mohammedans. Such, IMO, is destined to be a fool’s errand.
IN FACT, I am of the opinion, that within the foreseeable future — barring any unforeseen cataclysmic world-changing event — there will be NO meaningful reformation within this totalitarian and expansionist death cult. There is absolutely nothing “holy” about this evil religion … which in any way reasonable can make it acceptable to the freedom-loving West.
In consideration of its most basic pillars of existence, how can there be?
Their unholy texts — the kkkoran and hadith — which are rife with mandates of world conquest, death, and submission to all kaffur, are believed to be the perfect and immutable sacred word of their unholy god.
Their unholy prophet, who, in actual fact, was an UNREPENTANT warlord, murderer, enslaver, torturer, misogynist and etc — truly, one of the vilest human beings to have ever lived — is regarded by them as the perfect specimen of manhood; one who is to be emulated in ALL ways.
How can this evil death cult be made “reasonable” to the West without a TOTAL rebuke of these two foundational tenets? Conversely, what would be the rationale for the survival, i.e., the continuation of this evil death cult should these two tenets be rebuked?
Maybe this is a question for those wiser than this self; however, just as in the apparently hopeless case of the New Jersey imam, without profound [extremely deep-rooted] change, toward their universal recognition of individual rights and a secular rule of law, I see no hope for any long-lasting compatibility between the West and this portion of the Eastern culture.
In closing, the above is primary reason why I become so frustrated in reading such articles: what is addressed typically is some surficial less-than-hopeful changes to some marginal individual players; however, for the most basic of practical purposes, what is needed, instead, is radical fundamental change; where, unfortunately, such deep-cutting fundamental change is hardly, if ever, addressed.
johan elzinga says
I wonder what this retraining will be like. Will there be an exam? Like: jews should be … A. Respected B. Challenged C. Done harm, as is written in the Koran C. Appeased D. Misled?
M. A. Moxness says
Close… I believe he has to take Deception and Subterfuge 301 and Idealism: Foothold in the USA 401:over and take the finals, open book.
DFD says
“….and retrain him.”
Will he be trained to use a Kalashnikov? RPG?
Robeaver. says
Please see retraining methods below. Use of animals is forbidden by the SPCA, the same group,that will not act on Halal meat butchering, where the animals are not stunned or killed immediately, but are left to bleed to death with a slit throat. THAT group. .
gravenimage says
PETA is taking a stand against Halal slaughter. Good for them!
Bodega says
This is absurd. It’s a joke, right?
What is it that we westerners don’t understand about brain washed with the Koran since a child begins to bable? How come nobody has read how the Qur’an is indulcated into the brains of Muslims? How can we remain so ignorant and not understand there will be no “retraining”?
David says
At least he doesn’t make any attempt to camouflage his views. This is exactly the rhetoric used by the Muslims before the War of Independence and the Six Day War. This rhetoric has been largely replaced by tales of Palestinian oppression. People like Linda Sarsour are more dangerous than this clown because Sarsour is a master of deceit. This clown sticks with the old script.
gravenimage says
Muslims only lie to Infidels when they think they have to. This Imam was just a bit prematurely emboldened, that’s all.
BARBARA says
The article neglected to mention whether this iman is a citizen or some kind of visa holder. If he isn’t a citizen, then aren’t there grounds to deport him? If so, this information needs to be publicized. Even if he is a citizen or green card holder, very likely he lied about participation in extremist groups on his application. The FBI should be investigating him and pass on info to ICE if it might be possible to deport him.
Steve says
Well, they didn’t succeed in retraining Muhammad so why do they think they will succeed with this Imam?
eduardo odraude says
This is surely incitement to murder. So how about an indictment?
But you can bet prosecutors don’t want to go there for all kinds of reasons. Who knows where it could end. You might have to prosecute a lot of uses of the Qur’an itself.
Carol says
That’s exactly the stumbling block I’m sure. Islam is a farce and it’s time to close up shop.
Pet Charles says
I wonder what would happen if a White evangelists called Black people “apes and pigs” and suggest that they be killed. You think maybe there would be large scale protest and hate speech charges? At the end of the day Jewish organization are free to picket the mosques and bring attention just like those who are pro Palestine picket. However, Jews like Alan Derschowitz want to pretend like they have the moral high ground and represent followers of Islam who violate laws like FGM. So who are we to be alarmed if the extremely large and influential Jewish population in the New York – New jersey area remain silent.
I wonder about leftists says
At the end of the article was written: Oh good, the first thing that came to my mind was : Oh God.!
And Shedeed was a member of the Homeland Security New Jersey.
No wonder I first thought after reading this all: Oh God !
Johan e, you forgot: beheaded and a few others, which I am not writing down any more. It gets so tiring.
We are all wondering what this retraining will be and I presume, we all want to know, so please Shaded, enlighten us.
Robeaver. says
He has to say a few Hail Marys and go back as normal.
Linda says
Although this may sound crude, I was thinking that perhaps they should forego the “retraining” and just give him an attitude adjustment with a two-by-four.
Robeaver. says
So, into his rectum lengthwise, or sideways? I’d try to partially splinter the word in either case, after a 24 hour soaking in creosote. The wood, not his rectum, of,course..
The follow on report from the psychiatrist could read something like”the sheik retraining went OK,it almost recthim.” “Follow up treatments will go in one ear and out the other to finally retrain his Mind.” L he will learn to listen !
,but it generally takes several insertions before progress is noted.
“The drastic step of lighting the wood on fire is only used in severe intransigence cases, and has been more successful in the cases where oil was used as a fire suppressant, rather that the first attempts using gasoline.”
“Pounding nails and hot gluing glass shards to the wood proved to be effective in all cases, as was wrapping the wood in razor wire.”
“Extending the rectal insertions to the full length of four feet was also an effective!cure for this, and all the other shrieks currently undergoing retraining. We found the message to retrain was starting to be received around the 4 inch insertion mark,but researchers continued in several cases(100 per cent) to push the boundaries of research all the way to the 48 inc Mark. Most of the time the wood was completely involved in the anal area, and in the interests in research for the other thousands of imams and clerics and shrieks out there…………..in order to light up the scene, we saved electricity ?by setting the end of said inserted piece of wood on fire ;using an old blow torch we had to hand” “ we are now also researching noise cancelling headphone for Bose, an ongoing operation to save the hearing of researchers ears.l
“ we have found that anything above 110 decibels the head phones were necessary, and were effective up to and including 143 decibels. “ rsubjects were ususlaay non responsive after that decibel Mark anyway, so had to be retested several times more to get any retraining effectiveness.
Progress continued in this area, a staff suggestions of a 4 foot white hot iron rod; a 4 foot pigs penis, ( stitched to gether); a 4 foot sand paper roller with spinning speed up to 600 RPM, a whirling used plumbers “snake” ; to a simple wooden dowel wrapped in rusty barbed wire , are now al in the cue for testing.
mortimer says
How will they ‘RETRAIN’ Sheikh Aymen Elkasaby?
Will they tell the LEARNED SHEIKH that the HADITHS and KORAN do NOT say what they say?
Will they tell the LEARNED SHEIKH that what he learned in madrassah and in seminary and university about Islamic doctrine has been REVISED and is NO LONGER CORRECT?
Will they tell the LEARNED SHEIKH that there is a NEW INTERPRETATION or a NEW REVISION of Islam?
There is no ‘NEW ISLAM’… there is only the ‘old’ Islam of the COMMON CONSENSUS of Islam codified in 1111AD when the ‘DOORS OF IJTIHAD’ were slammed shut and locked closed!
Islam cannot be reformed and the LEARNED SHEIKH knows that as do we at Jihadwatch.
Robeaver. says
See above for retracing ideas and research paradigm.
mortimer says
How can they arrest Sheikh Aymen Elkasaby for teaching normative Islam?
Is anyone in the mainstream media going to notice that what he taught is NORMATIVE Islam, rather than an aberration?
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, in a sincerely friendly spirit to you, I wonder how we could do some of your absolute deprogramming on this guy? (“and all others similarly situated. . .”) I agree with your posts today, and wish we could deprogram the people who shield and enable this teaching and practice of violence to understand the harm it is causing daily. Maybe it will only come to them as their family and friends receive the violence being taught. Think of the horrible tasting crow Neville Chamberlain had to eat between the Munich sellout and the invasion of Poland. How many collaborators will face the same dish in the future? Delusions of greatness do not last forever.
gravenimage says
No one is arresting the Imam–he is just going to be “deprogrammed”…
Robeaver. says
See above for reprogramming ideas,I used the term retraining, but adding sleep deprivation and certain drugs the CIA was using in the 60s would be very useful additions to the program. We are calling it now” Reprogramming by 2×4, an experimental approach to the readjustment of Islamic thought for the Western World”
We will share the book rights with Robert Spencer.
We would like input for more techniques to facilitate the reprogramming process, as we assume imams, clerics,shrieks, and “honorable men of kill the daughter or make her drink acid persuasion are the hardest nuts to crack. So to speak.
gravenimage says
Just deport him.
Darryl Kerney says
Interesting how the “weakest of all peoples” have kicked the muslim’s asses several times when ganged up on by much larger coalitions seeking their annihilation, isn’t it ?

Benedict says
“The imam of a New Jersey mosque will be sent for “retraining” after delivering anti-Semitic sermons.” –
He will probably be retrained with these verses from the “holy Koran” often referred to by Robert Spencer:
The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the wellbeing 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.
James Pierce says
My foot would like to re-train his @$$
Thomas Brewster says
In his first training, he missed the class about “making sure the silly Westerners do not become suspicious.”
Peter says
And his retraining will emphasize killing ‘all’ of the Jews, a prerequisite, according to orthodox Islam, for the End of Days.
warmac9999 says
There is no practical way to retrain someone out of their faith. You can threaten and assault, but you can’t retrain. This guy will be given sum mumbo-jumbo to spout and all will be forgiven.
Robeaver. says
See Robeaver comments for retraining ideas, the 2 by 4 idea was not his thought. He wishes it was. Is sad. But Xmas is coming!! There will be nomIslamic terror attacks during this time, right!
Carol says
I guess we can’t expect an apology as it would mean he’d be out of a job.

New Jersey imam who called for the killing of Jews to undergo “retraining”
………………….
What a load of Taqiyya!
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
“He compared the retraining to “rehab.”…”
…. cause he’s addicted to jihad.
Robeaver. says
Could use a 12 step program. Start 11 steps from the edge of a cliff is all. ??✌??✌?☠️??
yzkrieg says
What will they retrain him to preach Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, etc?. He already preached Islam according to the Hadith. So he will have to preach from material outside the faith.
MFritz says
Well, he got caught for taking the easy route.
“Retraining” in three easy steps:
– Only speak in Arabic.
– Only quote the Koran.
– Always claim that nobody in the West really understands NEITHER the Koran NOR Arabic, because you have to “grow up” with it – and any criticism whatsoever must be racism and islamophobia anyway.
SAM says
Until Islam is declared a political ideology just like communism and totally against the constitution and the practice of it is prohibited, we will be losing a lot of innocent lives.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Same excuse all “authorities” ALWAYS use – they didn’t do it, only the “Procedures” or “The System” did it!

And this in NJ in USA not in Pakistan.
