What are the chances that Younus Kathrada and those who agree with him will become loyal, stable citizens of Canadian society, accepting of Canadian pluralism?
“Canadian Cleric Younus Kathrada: Congratulating Christians for Christmas is Worse than Murder,” MEMRI, December 23, 2018:
During a sermon delivered at the Muslim Youth of Victoria in British Columbia, Sheikh Younus Kathrada said that Muslims must be offended when people worship Jesus. He explained that congratulating non-Muslims on Christmas and other ” false festivals” is tantamount to approving of them, and that it is a far greater sin than murder, adultery, and other major sins. At the end of the sermon, Sheikh Kathrada stressed that he never calls to kill non-Muslims, who should be treated justly. The sermon was uploaded to Muslim Youth of Victoria’s YouTube channel on December 23, 2018. Sheikh Younus Kathrada was born in South Africa, studied in Medina, and is currently based in British Columbia. He is affiliated with the Vancouver-based Al-Madinah Islamic Society.
Following are excerpts:
Sheikh Younus Kathrada: Nowadays, of course, we are close to Christmas. We see around us that people are preparing themselves to celebrate Christmas, and that with great sadness we see that amongst us there are those who think it’s a small matter, and so, not only might we congratulate them on their Christmas, on their false holiday and celebration, but we may take part in their holiday as well.
[…]
Do you know that you and I must be offended when people say that they worship Jesus, or when they say that Jesus is the son of God? Why do our hearts not react?
[…]
There are those who will say to them “Merry Christmas” – what are you congratulating them on? [Are these] congratulations on the birth of your Lord? Is that acceptable to a Muslim? Are you now approving of their beliefs? By saying that you are approving of it.
[…]
If a person were to commit every major sin – committing adultery, dealing with interest, lying, murder… If a person were to do all of those major sins, they are nothing compared to the sin of congratulating and greeting the non-Muslims on their false festivals.
[…]
This doesn’t mean that we treat the non-Muslims in a bad way or that we deal with them unjustly. I’m not saying, and I’ve never said, go out and just kill them, and do this to them… No! Because Allah tells us not to allow the enmity that may exist between you and a people to cause you to be unjust towards them. Rather, be just.
nicu says
Is there anything these Muzzies are NOT offended by ?
If they hate everything in the West they should go back and stay in their glorious countries !
MERRY X – Mas !

I could NOT agree more!!! Wake Up Western and Christian Nations – they are not here to “better” themselves or assimilate – they are here to CONVERT or DESTROY, as their Militant “religion” commands.
Look around yourselves – WHERE on this Planet or any other have muslims come and bettered the Nations they enter??? WHERE have they assimilated???
SEND THEM BACK, AT ALL COSTS!!!
Let them “better” their own destroyed Countries, let them cease the destruction and bloodshed, THEN we can listen to them, THEN we can allow them to Peacefully and Lawfully Immigrate to our Nations

Well-said! But don’t expect this to happen as long as Hollywood
which is the driver of the present day Western civilization rewards Islamic terrorists like Al-Qaeda White Helmets with Oscars!
Savvy Kafir says
Agreed! They do not belong in the civilized world, because there is NOTHING civilized about their religion/ worldview.
mortimer says
A productive, diverse, tolerant, harmonious society cannot be built upon ISLAM’S teaching of RELIGIOUS SEGREGATION and RELIGIOUS HATRED called Al Walaa wal Baraa.
If you do not study and learn this teaching of hate in Islam, you will never understand Islam fully.
ninetyninepct says
We learned everything we need to know about Islam, it’s book of hate and it’s countries of origin on 9/11.
If you ever meet one of those fake Muslims that say “Ask me anything about Islam”, just ask why they want to kill you.
Frederick King says
I think their boss, Trudae, must be blowing all of these jihadists.
Robert Carrillo says
I have a message for this so called cleric, which my Pastor would not like very much…especially at Christmas time..
The nicer message? Leave Canada, North America, and any civilized society, and hit the bricks for your homeland, and DO NOT COME BACK..
Preach your hatred elsewhere..
I am a Christian, but I am not a pacifist..
These people are remarkably stupid and obtuse Neanderthals..
mortimer says
Agree with Carrillo: it is certainly not un-Christian to be prepared to defend ourselves against vicious, hate-filled supremacists.
All Muslims are practicing taqiyya by deceiving us on the topic of JIHAD. Taqiyya is a form of VERBAL JIHAD meant to keep kafirs UNPREPARED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES against the Islamic TAKEOVER.
Renate says
I know how Kathrada feels because I feel the same way around Eid and Ramadan.
However, I think MbS has the right idea, God bless him:
revereridesagain says
One would think him too busy coordinating his head shawl with his facial hair, but Younus Kathrada still finds time to try to single-handedly undo decades of “interfaith” taqiyya. Ironic, considering all those lists of do’s and dont’s the kuffar are given concerning how to avoid “offending” Muslims during Ramadan. How nice of him not to exhort his mind slaves to kill those who do not worship Allahoochiekoo. I wonder what the pompous old savage means by, “Be just”.
Well, I don’t worship Jesus either, but since nobody in our demonstrably superior culture gets up on his high horse and demands that I do I’m happy to wish all of us a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Carol the 1st says
Some Western muslims seem to be responding to the free-form pleasure and affection they’re finding in their new back yards. This sheikh senses that the “unifying” bigotry and hatred drilled into them via Moe’s creed is losing its allure (how shallow!) This is why he is huffing and puffing on the dog whistles.
Such a warm-hearted, life-sparing “cleric” – good thing Sheikh Kathrada at least has Allah to hug (if only *just* for now) while he importantly waits for his chastized groupies to fall back into submissive formation – hup, two, three, four!
CogitoErgoSum says
According to the Quran the right and just way for the Muslims to treat the Christians is to fight them until they convert to Islam or, if they do not want to convert, to make them pay the Jizya in humiliation. The Sheikh is not saying it and I’m not saying it but Allah does say it. (Quran 9:29) (So if the Christians get killed in the fight it’s their own fault for fighting against the will of Allah.) But what do you expect from the most vile of all creatures ever to live. What is wrong with those Christians for wanting to wish anyone who is not a Christian a day of happiness too? It’s nothing less than an act of aggression towards men of goodwill. And yet this Christian, this most vile creature …… would like to wish all of you a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Guy Macher says
Muslim barrows are the most hateful bastards in history!
Michael Copeland says
“The Prophet said: ‘Sell him to me.’
So he bought him for two black slaves.”
Sahih Sunan an-Nasa’I, 4625
This incident comes under the heading: “Selling Animals…”
(Sahih Sunan an-Nasa’I, 4625)
Sheikh Younus Kathrada knows that Mohammed is the “beautiful pattern” (Koran 33:21).

Under Sharia, SPEAKING BLASPHEMIES CANNOT BE FORGIVEN, whereas murder is EASILY FORGIVE in Islam… especially, the murder of a dirty KAFIR.
Strange, isn’t it, that this mullah MAKES SURE THEY DON’T THINK HE IS CALLING FOR THE MURDER OF DIRTY KAFIR-BLASPHEMERS …. naaaaaaw …. He would NEVER suggest such a thing!!!
Would he??? Well, maybe in private only.
Carol the 1st says
I guess we should be relieved by such arduous and slow-dripping subtlety especially when it’s bestowed upon us by those types who’ve been known to *just* as readily promote that we be beheaded etc.! Trudope will undoubtedly swell with pride as he offers the sheikh’s cautious wording as PROOF that his gag orders for Canadians really are making for a far more virtuous and hogtied peoplekind!
LeftisruiningCanada says
Of course they will be offended when we worship the risen Christ….they are followers of a demon and the doctrines of demons after all.
So i therefore gladly wish all that know me here, and those that don’t, a very merry Christmas, commend you all into the hands of Christ, and drink a toast to the end of islam with all those that drink such toasts.
Merry Christmas!
mortimer says
Christmas is about the INCARNATION OF GOD … a particularly offensive idea to Muslilms because it is SHIRK … look it up.
Uminder Singh says
I am failed to understand why a stern action is not taken against these preachers.
These uncivilized people should be sent back to their original countries. When will people understand this belief. They attract people with sugar coated pills but they do not let them taste the Bitterness buried beneath. They themselves are the non-believers of God. Their belief is standing on Hatred, Killings, Suppression of Women, unacceptable sex with minor girls, Fanaticism, ignorance, no respect for others.

“f a person were to commit every major sin – committing adultery, dealing with interest, lying, murder… If a person were to do all of those major sins, they are nothing compared to the sin of congratulating and greeting the non-Muslims on their false festivals.”
************************
This is how they really feel about all of the Commandments given by the True God: “they are nothing ”
moslims, commit adultery…2, 3, 4 wives and unlimited rape victims….adultery and fornication are “nothing” to be avoided by moslims.
moslims deal with “stealing”….they may not charge each other interest, but they freely take what does not belong to them.
moslims lie….like breathing is lying to moslims.
moslims commit murders…of their wives, their children, of Christians, and others, …mass murders all in the name of their evil, filthy, disgusting islam.
But allowing other people to make their own life choices…such as whether to celebrate Christmas…moslims see that as prohibited…moslims cannot allow that. moslims feel it is their right to make these decisions for everyone. And they will lie, steal, rape and murder to see that they are obeyed.
FYI says
allah doesn’t subscribe to those essential Commandments of God{see Exodus 20}
and of course the Two chief commandments are completely missing in islam.
The concept of actually OBEYING even one of God’s laws is way beyond the reasoning faculties of primitive muslim creatures like kathadra.
After all,muslims cannot differentiate between the actual God{of Moses,of Jesus} etc and their satanic moon god allah “the best of deceivers” k3:54 or BAAL to give allah his real name.
The reason muslims hate the truth is explained by 2 Thessalonians 2 v 10-12:since they HATE and do not Love or welcome the Truth so they become subject to the “power of error to work in them so that that they believe what is FALSE” thus proving that their savage islamic devotions are worthless to God.
Such wisdom would be lost on a demonic savage like kathedra
Lydia Church says
Wishing muslims a happy muslim holiday is worse than murder.
Why?
Because it’s denying Jesus.
And since muslims won’t wish Christians a Merry Christmas,
why should anyone (especially Christians) wish them a happy muslim holiday?
Again, that is how far their ‘meet you in the middle’ mindset goes.
But we should not venture in that direction at all. Stay as far away
as possible.
Rarely says
Show him Love.
Everyone send him a Christmas Card. Throw in a Happy Chanukah card too.
Someone please post his address.
mortimer says
TAQIYYA is the basis of this sermon … HATE THE KUFAAR in your heart, but don’t ACT OUT THAT HATRED by conducting jihad !!! Oh, really? Is that what the Koran teaches?
So Muslims should PRETEND to be friendly while in fact they must cherish a fierce HATRED AGAINST THEM.
How can that HATRED directed toward kafirs NOT cause violence?
-“Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…”
– former sheikh Sam Solomon

Mortimer (first comment): Good one. Mortimer (third comment): Good One. (I am not putting down the second comment, I just already knew about.)
Battle says
Sheikh Kathrada used a hateful leftist favorite word “offended.” Extremely cult like. The sheikh believes in a prophet who traded two black slaves for one white slave, and this sheikh is African?
Logic&Reason says
THIS MUCH IS CLEAR to anyone who conducts a few hours of research…..
Islam has always been supremacist, barbaric, totalitarian ideology that worms its way into today’s truly peaceful societies by abusing the host’s “religious discrimination” laws.
Since Islam won’t/can’t reform, the West MUST outline exactly what constitutes a “religion of peace”. Any ideology that commands hegemony on this planet–especially through violent, murderous means–MUST be exempt from these protections.
Exposed! The Imam Has No Clothes!

infidel says
How cleverly this disgusting piece of KORANIMAL is covering his tracks by indulging in slick Taqiyya. First he spews hatred by saying that wishing non Muslim on their festivals is a sin greater than all the major sins like rape murder etc. And then he covers himself like a wolf in sheepskin by saying that he is not asking for Muslims to kill non Muslims. I;m sure that his faithfuls know that he did not mean it when he said that he did not want non Muslims to be killed. So first speak like ISIS first and then flip and speak like a moderate. Who is he thinking that he is fooling…!! And come to think.. this KORANIMAL has gone to a Christian country on a refugee visa.. What skills he brings to Canada other than hatred!!
ronyvo says
1- Who cares if you offended. We Christians celebrated Christmas for the last 21 centuries and will celebrate it until end of times AND you can’t do anything about that.
2- We Westerners are offended when you go around killing us, rape our women, destroy our businesses and homes…in the name of the evil Islam.
3- You know very well that Islam is in GREAT danger and for a good reason, and that is why you issuing those crazy fatwas, ,which are meaningless and pure stupid.
George Lewitte says
Can anyone name an Islamic country that is healthy and thriving?
Saudi Arabia? Maybe.
The definition of a moderate Muslim ….?
He is the one holding your feet while the jihadist cuts your head off.
katherine says
Correction – Saudi Arabia’s wealth is held by 1600 Princely Royals while the common citizens make do with the scrap, except for those lucky few affiliated with the royal enterprises – the royally privileged class.
I believe feudal Europe was rich by these standards as was China and India.
Prabh108 says
why quasi’white’moslem females& moslemMales dare to wish merry xmas to obviously Hindu peoples?
Religion is private matter supposedly in the West – but Aristotle states man is political animal – to rub salt in wounds of Hindu pseudowhiteMoslem female dares to utter merry xmas – a middle eastern religion that has caused irreparable harm to BharatMata? True AryaWhite will Never fall for fakefraud creed of islam.
I do not celebrate semitic middle eastern holidays. The islamcrescent and xtiancross have proven almost deadly for Mother India. ancientEgyptian-GrecoRoman &Germanic ideals were almost ruined by imposition of xtianity upon peoples of Ancient Territories of Greater Historical Deustcheland – upon Pagan ideals xtianity created “schizophrenia” as noted by contemporary HinduDharmic writer whose name I cannot at present recall. (I highly doubt slavery was practiced by Hellenics or Romans – only hebrew would state this as foundation of hebrew way of life is Slavery of nonhebrew) Doubt is mother of all freedom.
America is founded upon ideals of classic AryaText venerable Bhagavad Gita. Sikh Shastras and Avestan, Buddhist and Jain tradition are in same tradition and lineage as Bhagavad Gita and Vedic Shastra. (Shastra is term for Scripture – divine writings of AryaSages) – as are the Eddas of the Norse peoples.
Islam is not a religion fit for any being regardless of skin colouration or racial origins.
Newsflash for moslems regardless of your origin: you will NEVER (not ever) retake India from AryaDharmic communities. In other words Moslems, your izlamocaliphate is stillborn – your demonic IslamoCaliphate is STILLBORN – dead at birth.

V. Important Point to Note:
Moment of Shortest Daylight Hours in Northern Hemisphere (on or around Dec. 21st) have always been commemorated by Various Pagan Communities the World Over -especially amongst Germanics and related peoples of Greater Historical Deutscheland and Brittania – word Britain etymologically related to Brihaspati-Jupiter -i.e. Guru (Preceptor to Gods, the Deva-Devian – the Shining Self Effulgent Beings such as Mithra Deva – Deity Presiding Over Noble Ideal of Friendship)
– Pancatantra, a text that promises success in life, warns that Friendship is Only ever between Equals. Gautam Buddh teaches us to be friendly towards all Creatures. However, actual true friendship can only flower between Equals. It is good to only ever be friendly towards all creatures. This is stepping-stone to Ahimsa – Where Ahimsa begins is also beginning point of Bhakti – life of Bhakti is sublime.
***
This Winter Sacred Day marking the shortest day of the year and a return of ever increasing sunshine has been commemorated for at least 20 000 years! (this is for how long Germanics and related peoples have been residing in Germanic Lands.) Islamics must have respect for everyone if they expect respect in return. Am Not holding my breath awaiting respect from mohaMADans or their deranged supporters of Islamocaliphate.
Islam will Never (not ever) stop commemorations of Sacred Winter Commencement Day.
