Anwar Sahib was removed from Federation of Islamic Associations in 2016 for anti-Semitic remarks. But the Counties Manukau Police department had no problem welcoming him for Ramadan. And one can sympathize: it is very, very hard indeed to find an imam who doesn’t have some kind of spot on his record, and so if outreach is the imperative, even a Jew-hater will have to do.
In response to the article below, the police issued a statement full of usual blather: “Counties Manukau Police hosted the Ramadan event last week to foster better understanding of our growing Muslim community and to embrace the diverse communities that make up our society, with diversity being a core value of NZ Police. The Ramadan Iftar ceremony was an inclusive event and invitations were given out to all Islamic centres and Muslim organisations in our District, along with a number of service providers and race relations officials. The invited organisations chose their own representatives to attend the event on their behalf.”
And diversity. And inclusive. And blah. And blah. What’s a little Jew-hatred among friends? We’re all multiculturalists now.
“Disgraced Mohammad Anwar Sahib made welcome by Counties Manukau police,” Whale Oil, June 11, 2018 (thanks to Carl):
It is appalling that a man like Dr Anwar Sahib should be treated with respect by both the police and a member of the Human Rights Commission given his recent anti-Semitic history.
We have written extensively about Dr Anwar Sahib. We were the first media in New Zealand to break the story that eventually led to him losing his position as secretary of FIANZ. For those of you who have forgotten what he did, here is a quick recap.
Sahib is the Imam who called Jews the enemy and said women shouldn’t leave the house without their husband’s permission. These are comments that he has not apologised for.
In fact when the story first broke he claimed that he had been quoted out of context. The incriminating videos were then removed by his mosque so that no one could see what context they were said in.
Fortunately, Whaleoil had anticipated the cover-up and had made copies which you can view here.
Our videos include one that shows that a Muslim woman went to the New Zealand Herald with an accusation that terrorism was being promoted at Sahib’s mosque. Instead of protecting their source, the New Zealand Herald journalist allowed Dr Anwar Sahib to learn her name and phone number….

New Zealand: Police department welcomes imam who called Jews “the enemy” for Ramadan event
………………………
Just unconscionable. One can only hope that the police were ignorant. This is not much of an excuse, but the alternative is even worse.

These “nations”??? and I question that word nation,country, because of their actions when it comes to Islam. How can any nation be held in respect when they bend over backwards and do double flips to accommodate a so called religion that Is surely driven by other than the one TRUE GOD….
They claim their allah to be the one true God but nowhere do I find the NEW COVENANT, Jesus, telling me to do the atrocious acts that supposedly their allah told muhammad. (If he ever actually existed) in some dark cave…..Dark Cave???There is only one being that uses darkness and we know who that is.

“to foster better understanding of our growing Muslim community and to embrace the diverse communities that make up our society,” NZ used to be a great country, a beautiful country, in some ways a little bit of conservative Britain in the South Pacific.All destroyed by PC, mass 3rd world immigration, diversity and inclusiveness. Every town and city now have mosques and temples while the traditional churches are just empty. Wake up people of NZ to the Trojan Horse of Islam.
Arryn says
to foster better understanding of our growing Muslim community and to embrace the diverse communities that make up our society. How stupid these people are? What is it to understand about the Muslims? If there is any place to go find any understanding, READ THE KORAN. That is where you will get it, a better understanding of the Muslims and their Non- conform, non-integrated into New Zealand Society as well as Law..
I got to have a good laugh at the Counties Manukau district commander Superintendent Jill . Looking at her with that sheet wrapped around her neck & head, She looks like a Pregnant Penguin.
Dick says
Disgusting that our taxpayer funded PC police and race relations conciliator would allow this evil to be shown any form of respect.
He should be deported immediately.

Jew-hatred? So what’s new? A minor footnote to an otherwise stellar career and to be ignored.
The other stuff? How can you criticize someone for protecting the females around him especially when he knows there are people just like him walking the streets?
Elisha says
Like lemmings going over a cliff, what else can one say?
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. – 2 Corinthians 4:4
God bless.

A minor point, but New Zealanders are not Aussies–those are Australians.
Sadly, you find dhimmitude in both places.

The vile “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–wrote:
What a big deal over nothing. Many christian hate jew also.
…………………………..
*Of course* this pious Muslim considers genocidal hatred of Jews to be “nothing”–all devout Muslims hate Jews.
And while there unfortunately are some Christians who hate Jews, it is notable that there is nothing in Christianity that teaches the hatred of Jews.
There certainly is in Islam, though.

What is “Brian hoff” babbling about? Muslims constantly threaten Robert Spencer with death for daring to point out that Islam is violent.
And is the illiterate “DefenderofIslam” trying to say that Islam is “preachful”, or “peaceful”?
If the latter, claiming that genocidal hatred of the Jews is “peaceful” is just grotesque.

New Zealand, old convict mentality and breed. expect nothing more.

This has more to do with modern “political correctness”, of course. You find this all over the West–not just in Australia and New Zealand.
(Never mind that convicts were not transported to New Zealand, in any case…)
Politicianophobia says
Infidel, I have met a lot of beautiful people who are pure evil on the inside, so I have made it a habit not to judge one on their looks, however, I must confess to you, I now believe Islam is all about helping a lot of ugly men control a lot of stupid women. Is it a religion–no–it is filth and control.
