Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

California imam prays for the extermination of Jews, other Muslim leaders respond “Ameen!”

Jul 10, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Will Twitter or Facebook classify this as “hate speech”? Of course not. That’s only for opponents of jihad terror.

“Prominent California Islamists Praise Imam’s Call to Exterminate Jews,” by Sam Westrop, Islamist Watch, July 9, 2019:

While waiting at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, following a trip to the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, California imam Ahmed Billoo (also known as Ahmed Ibn Aslam), wrote on his private Facebook account that he was “feeling annoyed” about his location. He offered a prayer to deal with the surfeit of Jews in the building:

“Oh God, reduce their numbers, exterminate them, and don’t leave a single one alive.”

He added the hashtag “Zionists.”

He seemed palpably relieved to arrive in Istanbul the next day, writing “So good to be in a Muslim country” and “#TiredofSeeingZionists.”

Billoo is a prominent cleric in California, and part of a prominent Islamist family. He works as the religious director at the Islamic Center of Cypress, serves as a “professor” at California Islamic University, and is a teacher at the Institute of Knowledge, a seminary that offers religious advice to Muslim students and trains the next generation of imams. Its faculty includes prominent clerics from the hardline Salafi and Deboandi strains of Islam.

A 2007 article in the Jewish Journal refers to an Ahmed Billoo (also from Alhambra, home of the Billoo family) as the then-President of Cal State Long Beach’s Muslim Student Association, and quotes him expressing support for suicide bombings in Palestine, adding that “Islam justifies” such attacks.

But Ahmed Billoo is a lesser-known Billoo. His sister, Zahra Billoo, is director of the San Francisco branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and an important figure in the Women’s March movement. Zahra Billoo, who is also not shy about anti-Jewish sentiments and support for terror, frequently appears alongside her brother at events across California.

Ahmed Billoo is tasked with teaching young Muslims about Islam and training the next generation of American Muslim clerics. Some might consider it rather alarming, then, that someone in such a position of responsibility is also calling for the mass extermination of Jews.

So how did prominent activists and clerics respond to Billoo’s murderous wishes?

It appears no one objected.

Faisal Ahmad, who heads another religious training organization in New York named the Fiqh Institute, wrote: “Ameen!!! Wow you were at the place where Eesa [Jesus] will slay the Dajjal [Anti-Christ]! Oh Allah make it happen soon make it happen soon. Destroy the forces of kufr [non-Muslims] and cause Emaan [faith] in you to spread throughout the earth Ameen!”

Nasreen Khan, a colleague of Billoo at the California Islamic University simply wrote “Ameen.”…

      Meaning what?

      When the good imam said “exterminate them, and don’t leave a single one alive” he didn’t actually mean “exterminate them and don’t leave a single one alive?”

      • Norger says

        I read some of your other comments; appears I misunderstood you. Yes, the imam is indeed mindless.

    The Imam who lives in Western State of California is again still a further reminder of the malicious spite that Islam creates in its followers towards Jewish people.

    This powerful and irrational Muslim malice for the Jews and thus explained by the following essay.

    Such awful and strong vicious Muslim hate against Jewish people and Jewish people are sanctioned in the “holy book’ of Islam the Koran. Which instructs in violence and killing for the cause of Islam. As found in, for example, 4: 89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. In other words the Koran inspires and causes such hideous violence. Furthermore, another role the Koran has in such deadly Islamic terror attacks in the Jewish nation of Israel is that the Koran contains many negative about the Jewish people. The reason that the Koran reads as it does have much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is for a specific time period of his life Muhammad lived among many Jewish people and he liked them at first. Later then they would not accept his claim of being of prophet, Muhammad then took is dislike to them that then turned into bitterness and even hate for them. So in the hate and bitterness he spoke many derogatory things about the as even referring to them as “apes and swine.” Such word of bitterness and hate, along with other thing he said, where written down on things and then later after his death those words were together together and then eventually, in time went in the composition of the Koran. Therefore, that why the Koran reads and in does about the Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Koran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60. Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that there is a chance the Muhammad actually might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead, Muhammad was a deceptive, lying false prophet send by Satan to lead many people astray and even and straight into hell. Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned of the coming of such men as Muhammad. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. In addition, the Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone out into the world.” First John 4:1. [K.J.V.]

      If Satan send him his must be a prophet… UH?

      • Walter Sieruk says

        Jul 11, 2019 at 11:12 am

        To Blubb 1000, that is Satan sent him, Muhammad, therefore is an anti-Christ as well as a false prophet . For it is written “He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.” First John 3:22. and it’s further written “”many false prophets have gone out into the world.” First John 4:1.

    The Jews had better learn to publicly denounce this type of neo-Nazi racist attack and report it to the police.

    And I thought his sister, Zahra, was bad having heard her speak a couple of times at UC Irvine. Seriously though; what kind of religion teaches its adherants to hate so much? What God is pleased to see His children killing other of His children in His name?

    My people for over 200 years were trapped in a sect where we had to wear white clothes all the time: it is hellish. Maybe a wardrobe consultant might broaden this chaps outlook on life. Has he even visited the 3 is company sitcom beach of Late Great John Ritter fame?
    Look good feel better. Colour therapy is powerful. Of course he can’t wear red as this is colour of Hindu army of bygone centuries in the Wondrous afpak region is Aryavartasthanic legend and lore.
    Orange is off limits and yellow as only primitive peeps aka fire worshipping renunciates don such appparel.
    Pakistan Green colour of flag of Playboy turned statesman ik might b intresting but depending on lineages and tribal rivalry p’haps turquoise might be better especially for kalifornia- wait kali is black, therefore black might be suitable although that is burka colouration. Note correct spellings of words such as colour honour neighbour etc. U yanki do not respect language or geography lol it can be seen ur affinity for arab people.
    U shove inaccurate english down people’s throats – they do same with less euphonious afroasiatic arabich whereas lingo of Bard of Avon is most pleasing in divine Beautiful British English as can be seen and heard in utube films of possible future Anglosphere ladette/cat-lady Lucy. She teaches what is euphemistically known as the Global South: best wishes. She peddles a lot of booooooks and other “teaching paraphernalia”
    At least Persians r teachable.
    For u c Malala aced all her subjects as reported by her coethnicreligionists whose misogyny was appalling to me as an Equalitarian: equal but different. It is complex. suffice it to say the males cast doubt upon her success for they would wish her forcibly married at 12 to a 53 year old no doubt. The males world is shaken by her success at School for shame. Now Malala too can look forward to being both a cat lady and possibly ladette since in the house of war drink is permitted. Her male elders r perplexed. I wonder why? At least the depopulationist “elite” r smirking sinisterly for they don’t see her as a sister, nay they probably ordered the hit on her in the first instance. More research needed.

      Prabh has a problem with American English, but seems fine with the genocide of the Jews.

      Then claiming that the West is trying to murder girls who want an education is just grotesque calumny. This is, in fact, orthodox Islam.

      Prabh is also sneering at girls who want to learn something. Just appalling.

    Note that in house of war, amerika India there r no rules: Mohamadans can do anything as long as it advances cause of caliphate formation.
    Now in house of Dhimmitude Europa it is duty of Muslim to humiliate European.
    Given enough affection and loving care, attention and love muslims can become friendly. Love conquers all: these r not hollow words.
    Their ummah lands have been messed with so of course there is fury. Understandable. Love is the only solution. I hate bloodshed.

      This is *quite* false. Jihad is illegal here, as is FGM, child rape, and all the other horrors of Islam, including mass murder of Jewish people.

      Infidels in Europe have welcomed Muslim immigrants, given them welfare, free housing, free education, and free medical care–and Muslims have responded with mass rape and Jihad terror.

    Robert

    Is Sam Westrop correct in saying”Billio is a prominent cleric in California, and part of a prominent Islamist family.”

    What is an Islamist family as oppose to Islamic family?

    or is he saying Islamist means radical family?

    California “institute of Knowledge”?

    islamic “knowledge”?

    A shame the muslims don’t have any concept of…. WISDOM.

    The koranic teachings are in violation of God’s Exodus 20 Laws

    The 2 chief commandments are missing in islam
    {the 2nd one is violated by k5:51 where al lah tells muslims NOT to be friends with “infidels”:thus there is no Love Thy Neighbor in islam,no Golden Rule.Also the disgraceful Doctrine of Hatred towards infidels,al walaa wal baraa,coupled with the classification of infidels as inferior to muslims due to their imagined holiness k3:110 also
    shows a clear violation{remember the 2 chief commandments are supreme laws,even above the ten commandments.It seems al lah completely missed the importance of them

    Moses is a Jew,not a muslim:ALL BIBLICAL PROPHETS ARE JEWISH.
    Except in the koran where they are all muslims:ludicrous!

    The scientific mistakes in the koran are laughable:the koran was written by a 7tc cent man desperately
    trying to pass himself off as God.

    In k4:171 allah tells muslims NOT to believe in God’s Holy Spirit of Wisdom

    Any group or religion that supports the extermination of other human beings should be banned from society. This so called islam religion is no different than the NAZI ideology that targeted Jews and any one they didn’t like. Islam is a false religion and a racist Muslim organization aimed at world dominance, just like Hitlers NAZI plan. It needs to be STOPED from spreading it false lies and threats to our fellow men and women.
