Canada: Islamic scholar says insulting Muhammad is worse than police killings of black men

Sep 20, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 28 Comments

“When we ask Allah to destroy and eliminate what we believe to be perhaps one of the greatest threats to humanity, we are accused of hate speech.”

Not really. In reality, Mr. Kathrada, when you preach this hatred and incitement, those who call attention to what you are saying are accused of “hate speech.”

“Canadian Islamic Scholar Younus Kathrada: When Islam’s Opponents Insult The Prophet Muhammad, It Is Worse Than Police Killings Of Black People; We Should Not Accept The Argument That This Is Free Speech,” MEMRI, September 11, 2020:

Canadian Islamic scholar Younus Kathrada said in a Friday, September 11, 2020 sermon that was uploaded to the Muslim Youth Victoria YouTube channel that disrespect of the Prophet Muhammad, such as in the form of cartoons that insult him, is disrespect of Allah, of Muslims, and of Islam. He said that this is worse than police killings of black people in the United States, and he bemoaned the fact that Muslims did not demonstrate or stage rallies when cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad were recently circulated.

In addition, he said that Muslims should not accept the claims that insulting the Prophet Muhammad should be allowed as a form of free expression. Sheikh Kathrada also said the “enemies of Islam” want to be allowed to insult Islam and Muhammad, but they investigate and accuse Muslims of antisemitism when they denounce Israel, of homophobia when they denounce homosexuality, and of hate speech when they pray for the elimination of “one of the greatest threats to humanity.” Earlier, in September, French satirical Journal Charlie Hebdo announced that it would reprint cartoons of Prophet Muhammad, which had first been printed in 2015. For more about the Islamic world’s reaction to the Charlie Hebdo cartoons see MEMRITV clips no. 6910, no. 5472, and no. 4732. For more about Sheikh Younus Kathrada, see MEMRI TV Clips No. 8003, No. 7896, No. 7534, No. 7098, No. 6950, and No. 6906.

Sheikh Younus Kathrada: “Any disrespect shown toward the Prophet Muhammad is an insult and an abuse of Allah.

[…]

“It is a slap in the face of every Muslim. Yet, when some magazines or some papers, or perhaps websites circulate and re-circulate offensive cartoons of the Prophet, we the Muslims hardly feel a thing. We the Muslims do practically nothing about it.

[…]

“We watched in horror as a black man was murdered by police in the United States.

[…]

“Many Muslims participated in rallies and demonstrations, expressing their outrage over these horrendous crimes.

[…]

“When something worse than that happened, when our Prophet Muhammad, the best man to have ever walked the face of this earth…

[…]

“[The Prophet] was insulted and abused, and accused of being a terrorist…

[…]

“Then where are their rallies and where are their demonstrations?

[…]

“Do we accept this claim by the opponents of Islam, that circulating such cartoons is an expression of freedom of opinion and freedom of speech?

[…]

“The enemies of Islam want to silence us when we speak the truth. But they want to be allowed to insult Allah, his Messenger, the Muslims, and Islam.

[…]

“When we speak of the occupation of Palestine and denounce the treachery and crimes of the Zionist state we are labeled as antisemitic. And we are put under investigation. When we denounce homosexuality, and state what Islam’s stance is on it, we are labeled as homophobic and we are investigated.

[…]

“When we ask Allah to destroy and eliminate what we believe to be perhaps one of the greatest threats to humanity, we are accused of hate speech.”

    Hilarious. Here is the clip on youtube:

    It might be worthwhile sending the link to those Lefties who still think the threat to free speech by Islam is “not an issue/ problem” or “overrated” by “Islamophobes”. As more and more come over to “the other side”…

      The number would be a lot higher as everyone is far right to the left.
      The saying white silence is violence is now everywhere.
      Almost every msm has committed violence as many in the house of lords and the main house as you have sat by and said nothing for years as thousands of none Muslim children where abused for years purely on a religious basis Muslims see themselves and their religion is superior to all others.
      People I voted for the left my whole life been but they use the working class as the democratic party in the USA use the black vote.
      But more and more black’s in the USA and the working class in the UK don’t believe in the shite you push about like a dung beetle no one believes you when you call every person who voted brexit are racist or Americans want supporters as we do in Europe don’t forget this man on here talking like I do not react about cartoon and she forgotten about Paris Manchester go on Spain London best thing they are good at is playing the victim when the real victims other children’s that have been raped or people who have lost her job just because we want to brexit and spoke up for it what I have what I have noticed is there seems to be more people on the right that will fight for my right to have freedom of speech where on the left they want to shut it down because he has an argument your wishes is also the lower classes that affect the most with immigration with children getting raped by Muslim rape gangs it’s always the lower classes that pay the highest price London is now a dump thanks to the London mayor that got the job because of his race and has Islamic religion you will see the true polls Donald Trump rogue one we will leave Europe you will do better being an independent country and we should not even more penny to France and stop buying French goods wine cheese etc who would buy a French car I don’t know but until friends stop pitching a problem that belongs to then unto us sorry France No Deal Ireland should be serious upset with the way the European Union is using them and the Good Friday Agreement we want to have both of them but these you will this Is Gonna cost people his job letters just and that look after this border being targeted by Republicans that still have not signed up to the Good Friday Agreement and never will

    The mullah is quoting Sharia blasphemy law, rather than expressing his personal opinion: Sharia law strictly forbids the mere ‘mention’ of ‘something impermissible’ about Islam by a kafir (non-Muslim).

    Punishment of Blasphemers from Sharia manual Reliance of the Traveller’:

    “The (DHIMMI) agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:
    -5- mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.” – Reliance of the Traveller’ Chapter ‘O’ 11.10.05.

    Sharia permits anyone to KILL those who verbally oppose Islam, since they are AT WAR with Islam:
    “There is no indemnity obligatory for KILLING a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593

    “We have already discussed KILLING the person who, with intent, curses the Prophet, belittles him or slights him in any way. The judgement in this case is clear.” (i.e. death) – Qadhi Iyaadh in ash-Shifa, Volume No.2, Page No. 27

    Note: Do we really want to have tens of thousands or millions of people in Western country who believe in Sharia blasphemy law? Their form of discrimination is an infringement on our freedom of expression.

    Younus Kathrada is denying it is ‘HATE’ … when Muslims do it.

    However, Sharia law manuals are firm in declaring that Muslims must show HATE AND HOSTILITY towards the dirty kufaar and that Muslims must ‘HATE’ them ‘for the sake of Allah’.

    THE ISLAMIC TEACHING OF HATRED … AL WALAA WAL BARAA …

    ‘AL BARAA’ is translatable into English as Islamic Apartheid, Shunning, Avoidance, Hatred, Cleansing from a Disease, etc. Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk (wrong worship). ‘AL BARAA’ is the reverse of ‘COMRADESHIP WITH MUSLIMS’ (AL WALAA).

    AL BARAA is NORMATIVE ISLAM, rather than an aberration.
    ‘Baraa’ is HATRED directed towards Kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’…Al Bughoud or Al Mu’adaat (hatred) is the opposite of Al Muwalaat (love towards Muslims). Baraa is:
    – To Hate
    – To keep distance from
    – To be enemy to
    – To desert
    – To decline to help
    – To disrespect
    – To put down
    – Not to ally with
    – Not to support

    Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk.

    -Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

    – “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”

    -“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.

    The mullah is LYING about the mandatory practice of HATE (AL BARAA) by pious Muslims … including himself.

    The mullah claims his right to express Jew hatred and Israel hatred is restricted by law … actually, it is not … but there are social consequences to expressing such hatred … shunning and pariah status for the haters.

    He is perfectly free to express hatred to whatever group he wants, whether the KKK, communists, Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao Tse Tung or the mass murderer and pedophile Mohammed.

    However, not everyone will like the criticism of the above-mentioned dictators. The freedom to criticize them is enshrined in the freedom to criticize all historic figures.

      Important proviso: most Western countries have restrictions on ‘PROMOTING GENOCIDE’.

      Mullah Younus Kathrada is PROMOTING GENOCIDE, so his hatred of Jews, Christians, Hindus and atheists (advocating their killing) is NOT ‘protected’ speech.

      Further note: under Sharia law, any Muslim may MURDER a blasphemer without fear of a penalty.

    The cartoons of muhammad(‘Big Mo’) are pricelessly funny. I’ve read the qur’an, cover to cover. The biggest thing I saw was that ‘Big Mo’ was a fraud from the start. He, also, was a pedophile and there is some indication he practiced homosexuality in a limited way. Any and all revelations he had were when ‘he’ wanted something that he had forbidden to regular, everyday muslims. Kind of like our liberal politicians do to the average citizen. ‘He’ said he was allah’s messenger or prophet(should be spelled ‘profit’), yet, when asked…he had no idea what allah(that ol’ moon god) was going to do to him after he died. I think it scared him…a lot. I also think many of islam’s top clerics…also look at ‘Big Mo’ as a fraud, but in order to retain power…they keep pushing the BS. The qur’an does contain some beautiful verses, but…they have all been abrogated by hate. I do believe the qur’an is the only ‘holy’ book that abrogates itself. I also found out that, according to the qur’an…’Big Mo’ will ‘not’ be the one to defeat Satan on the ‘last day’. It will be Jesus. Interesting. Of course…I already knew that.

    muhammed

    1]”The prophet who can neither read nor write”
    koran 7:157

    He couldn’t read,he couldn’t write.He couldn’t sing,he couldn’t dance.
    He couldn’t do basic Arithmetic either.

    Aisha had to do all the sums ..and she was nine.

    2]What would a NINE year old grown ‘woman’ see in a middle aged polygamous nonce would you tell me?

    3]It was said of their relationship that Aisha wore the pants:she had to, because muhammed kept wearing her dresses.

    “The revelation does not come to me when i am in the garment of any woman except Aisha”
    Sahih Bukhari 54:7:2442

    4]allah:muhammed?He has a big flabby ole ass…

    allah has insulted muhammed.

    5]Moses:hey Elijah ,Ezekiel,guys come here..the moslems have a ‘prophet’ muhammed
    Elijah:Is he from the Children of Israel even?No?
    The Biblical Prophets collective :ahahaha..what a putz!

    According to the feature article, Canadian Islamic scholar Younus Kathrada said:

    “…our prophet muhammad, the best man to have ever walked the face of this earth…”

    That says it all – that is the devout muslim “mindset”.

    Once you know that, understanding the horrors of islam is relatively easy…

    Their own Islamic scriptures, give a very detailed and in-depth picture, as to the type of person Muhammad really was. I am struggling to find one single crime that he didn’t commit, murder, rape, plundering,pedophilia, these were just normal everyday routine things for him.
    Yet this Islamic scholar sate’s, “Our Prophet Muhammad, the best man to have ever walked the face of the earth”.REALLY.
    This religion can’t of come from anywhere else, except the pits of hell.

    1 Prophet M was a criminal pedophile rapist murder false faith dweeb
    2 His eternal spirit dwells in hades in unending torment
    3 He died in his sin and sadly not connected with Jesus in a personal relationship
    4 He will face the True God if the bible one day for personal and final judgement
    5 He will then be cast into the lake of eternal fire/ hell and suffer unending torment pain anguish loneliness grief
    6 Tragic that Satan still has so many Muslims enslaved to the lie of the demonic ideology of Islam
    7 Praise God for His Holy Spirit is reaching many Muslims unto salvation
    8 Keep sending up prayer for all still lost souls that need Jesus
