There is nothing this imam says that is “extremist”; it is all mainstream Islam. The genocidal hadith he quotes, about the rocks and trees calling on Muslims to kill Jews, is at Sahih Muslim 6985 and elsewhere. The idea that Muslims should not respect the Swedish flag because it contains a cross is based on Qur’an 4:157, which says that Jesus was not crucified, and upon the idea that since the cross is a Christian symbol, Muslims must not honor it, for to do so would be to submit to non-Muslim authority. Will some “moderate Muslim” spokesman explain exactly how Basem Mahmoud is “hijacking” Islam? Don’t hold your breath. And what will the future of Sweden, and the West in general, be like as a result of inviting in such people, and never confronting them on their beliefs and activities that are at variance with Western social norms and principles?
“Malmö imam continues to spread hatred against Jews,” translated from “Malmöimamen fortsätter att sprida hat mot judar,” Expressen, July 17, 2021:
From his place in the al-Sahaba mosque in Rosengård, Basem Mahmoud continues to spread hatred against Jews.
When reporter Jenny Strindlöv and photographer Jens Christian return to the basement mosque in Rosengård, Basem Mahmoud once again threatened to report us to the police.
Six months ago, Kvällposten was able to reveal that Rosengård imam Basem Mahmoud repeatedly preached hatred against Jews and bridge-building imams in his basement mosque and on his YouTube channel.
The revelation led to the Malmö imam being reported to the police for incitement against ethnic groups.
What happened next? Not much.
As we go through some of Basem Mahmoud’s latest sermons, it turns out that he continues to spread hatred against Jews and other “infidels.”
– In all times, it is the same deceptive villains who stand in the way of the orthodox. Everyone knows that the West is ruled by Jews. The Jews are their rulers. The Jews are the offspring of pigs and monkeys.
That’s how it sounded in one of Basem Mahmoud’s sermons last fall.
Since then, his followers on YouTube have grown and the views on his videos have increased. Basem Mahmoud, or Abu Hamza as he is also called, continues to preach every Friday in the al-Sahaba Mosque at Rosengård in Malmö. He continues to openly post every sermon on YouTube, and the content continues to be hateful towards both Jews and other “infidels.”
When the high school three in Malmö held graduation ceremonies, Basem Mahmoud was angry to see the happy young people dancing around with the Swedish flag on the streets. According to Basem Mahmoud, since the Swedish flag contains a cross, it is unsuitable to carry.
“Those who carry crosses should not be offered prayer, because it is our belief that these people are perfect heretics,” he said in a sermon.
– If someone wears a cross on their clothes without being aware of it, we order him to take it off. Whenever the Prophet saw a cross in a cloth or on someone’s clothes or whatever, he destroyed it.
Preaches hatred against Jews
During a sermon in July, Basem Mahmoud focused on Palestine, which he believes the world’s united Muslims together have enough manpower and weapons to liberate. He does not think there is enough talk about Palestine in Europe’s mosques.Mahmoud quoted from a hadith, that is, a recorded account of the life story of the Prophet Muhammad, which reads:
Judgment Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. The Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, but the rocks and trees will say: “Oh, Muslim, there is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him.”
Judgment Day, Basem Mahmoud claims, cannot take place until the great battle has taken place and Palestine has been liberated.
– Injustices, my brethren, are when you are unjust to yourself in your religion and belief. You believe in this hadith, but you do not practice it, you do not introduce it to your children, and you do not spread it in the Muslim world. Are we afraid to even mention the word “Jew”?
In another sermon, he says that one is only allowed to greet Muslims.
– Do not greet non-Muslims. If an unfaithful person greets you and says, “Peace be with you,” answer him as the Prophet used to answer the Jews, the unjust Jews who killed the prophets and who want to control the universe. Curse them, they are lost.
A little later in the same sermon, he continued to incite against Jews:
– Let us be the ones who conquer the al-Aqsa Mosque (one of Islam’s most important mosques, located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, editor’s note) and crush and beat the Jews’ heads.
– Teach your children this. If you yourself are not qualified for it and God does not command you, then teach your son and teach your grandson.
“You are bandits!”
When Kvällposten returned to the al-Sahaba mosque on a Friday in July to give Basem Mahmoud the opportunity to comment on his statements, the mood quickly becomes bad. He recognizes us from our visit six months earlier and he is not happy to see us again.– Go away! Go away! No one is allowed to talk to her. I will call the police immediately, says Basem Mahmoud about Kvällposten’s reporter.
He runs towards photographer Jens Christian and pushes him up the stairs that lead down to the basement mosque.
– You’re lying! You are bandits! You are cheaters!
The angry imam picks up the phone and calls the police. He tells the men who come to attend Friday prayers not to talk to us. The door slams shut.
After Kvällposten’s revelation in December 2020, the Jewish Youth Association reported Basem Mahmoud, among others, to the police for incitement against ethnic groups. The preliminary investigation is still ongoing and the police are awaiting further directives from prosecutors.
American Patriot says
At least these morons don’t get it that Monkeys and pigs have more IQs than they do. Matter of fact, All life forms have a higher IQ than the average Muslim.
Jesper says
It will have little consequences for the imam.
After all, it is ??, the country of cowards.
mortimer says
Islam is not ‘benign’. Sweden is deluding itself. The struggle to subjugate the Swedes will continue until Muslims abandon the belief that the Koran is of divine inspiration.
Sylvia Drummond says
Turnips have always been a passive and suicidal people, perhaps it is the lack of sunlight for so much of the year.
Keith O says
Sylvia, The Swedes are descendants of the Vikings, who were very fierce fighters.
The rot seems to have set in after their conversion to Christianity.
gravenimage says
Keith, the Vikings traded slaves with Muslims.
Christianity fought against Islam for centuries–often successfully. Today, fewer than half of Swedes consider themselves to be Christian.
Wellington says
Keith O: Echoing gravenimage, I don’t for a moment think that Christianity is the cause of the rot that now exists in Sweden. After all, someone like Gustavus Adolphus (killed at the battle of Lutzen in 1632 during the Thirty Years War), was a devout Lutheran and as fierce, capable and brave as any Viking, ditto for many other Christian Swedish monarchs, for instance Charles XII.
No, the rot is due to Leftism, not Christianity. In fact, and bitterly ironic here, is that if Sweden were as knowledgeably Christian as it used to be, Islam would have made few to no inroads into Sweden. Which addresses a larger point and that is that a post-Christian Europe, suffused with secular Leftist nonsense, is the MAJOR cause of a the massively stupid “approach” to dealing with Islam.
I agree with much of what you write here at JW, Keith O, but not here. Reconsider, and remember I wrote all this being the complete and devout agnostic that I am. Best to you and yours Down Under.
Raja says
Mortimer,
Even after proving that koran is not divine by disproving the earth being flat, by going to moon etc they haven’t given up the fascist islam nor will they ever. Instead, attack them where it hurts them most: exposing mohamed, islam per se and so on. Everyday scrutiny of islam by people will help to some extent. There must be free speech!
tim gallagher says
What an evil, hate filled poisonous toad this piece of crap is. A typical Muslim holy man. They spew out nothing but hatred and evil. Creatures like this imam are the type of people who fill so many Muslims with hatred for all non-Muslims and create all those vicious Muslim monsters who cause so much damage all around the world. I suppose Muslims consider scum like this imam to be good and admirable people. That’s the problem with Islam, which is such an evil ideology. To civilised people, he is nothing but a piece of evil, hate filled crap.
Keith O says
Pretty much spot on Tim, Did you notice he has the butt sniffer bulge on his forehead?
This wanker is f#*ked in the head from banging it on the floor so often.
tim gallagher says
I didn’t notice the bulge on his head until you mentioned it, Keith O. I did notice that he is very well fed, maybe overfed, poisonous toad. But the main thing I notice about creatures like this is how full of raging hatred they are. And, to my mind, that is Islam. Preachers in other religions don’t spend all their time spewing out murderous hatred the way these Muslim “holy” men do. Islam is one sick and disgusting ideology. I would agree with what you say about his having destroyed his brain by banging it on the floor, but I suspect he had shit for brains to begin with, like almost all Muslim “scholars” and preachers. Thanks for the +1, gravenimage.
Raja says
Tim,
islam is the only so called religion that lies about Christianity and lots of other things. It has “lived” that way for 1400 centuries. Not enough Christians around to confront that evil.
tim gallagher says
I agree, Raja. Islam is flawed in endless ways. It is an evil religious ideology which is full of hate and calls for murderous violence, says rape is OK, pedophilia is OK, etc. AS you say, it lies all the time. I noticed when I read Robert Spencer’s “History of Jihad” that there were Christian leaders, Popes, etc,back in the time of the Crusades, who saw islam clearly as the evil that it is and said so very clearly. You are right about how, these days, a lot of Christian leaders don’t seem to see how evil Islam is and, if they do see how evil it is, they don’t speak up and say that it is evil. There are some Christians who speak up against Islam, but not enough. Sometimes I think that quite a lot of Christian leaders these days are just too nice and too tolerant to speak up and criticise anything, even when they definitely should. Many seem to be very wishy washy individuals.
Grace says
Unfortunately I am noticing this strident message of hatred in the left wing Demimarxists new party in America. Not, “We will discuss our differences,” but “We will crush you.” . Has the whole world gone mad? I can find no continent where freedom lives contented and without fear. Will Soros die before his Global masterpiece of destruction is complete? I hope so.

Sweden: Imam denounces Swedish flag, calls on Muslims to ‘crush and beat the Jews’ heads’
………………….
Will Basem Mahmoud be deported? Will al-Sahaba Mosque be shut down? Will the Mosque-goers be investigated?
Don’t hold your breath…
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Time for this sorry excuse for a human being to return back to the wretched Islamic hellhole from which he was spawned.
