Raleigh, NC – An imam in Raleigh, North Carolina, invoked an Islamic text that prophesies the killing of Jews by Muslims during a sermon at a local mosque.

Abdullah Khadra made the statements in a sermon early last month two days after President Donald Trump announced that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
“It is not new that the neighboring parts of Al Quds (Jerusalem) which is Palestine – Jaffa, Acre, and Haifa, those cities that have been changed in their names and their people, we should never forget that this is a Muslim land,” Khadra said in his sermon.
Muslims, he said, “should teach our children that it is our land and will remain our land, and will return to us sooner or later. But the question is: Will you be among those who will contribute to regaining it or not?”
A video of the imam’s speech was first translated and distributed Monday by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.
Khadra invoked a Muslim text, called a Hadith, stating that on Judgment Day, the Muslims will kill the Jews. The same text was used on the same day by a Houston imam, Raed Saleh Al-Rousan, of the city’s Tajweed Institute.
Addressing the topic of Jerusalem, Khadra said: “These occupiers, aggressors, and murderers can never take our holy city – only if we are dead. If you are dead, they can do to you whatever they can, but if we are truly alive – they cannot. May Allah make us of those who are alive, who are aware of their holy places, who are defending their religion, and who move by all possible means to defend their rights.”
He also referred to the Western Wall, which he said the Jews had appropriated from the Muslims.
“The wall at which [the Prophet Muhammad] tied his camel or animal is reserved by the Muslims. It is called the ‘Wall of the Ascent to Heaven’ or the ‘Wall of Buraq.’ Even that wall – those occupiers made some legends, and they made it their own wall, and they distorted the facts,” he said.
Khadra, a Syria native, came to Raleigh in 2011 after being cleared for entry to the United States on a religious work visa and later applied for political asylum. He is an active preacher in several mosques in the Raleigh area, according to MEMRI.
His sermon was condemned and he was suspended. I wish that when rabbis make equally racist statements about the End Times that they would also be condemned and the rabbis suspended.
If this happened in America, it qualifies as a hate crime, and should be prosecuted. If anyone spoke from a pulpit and made such a statement about any minority group, whether racial, ethnic, or anything else, they would be in handcuffs and facing charges. But this inciter of violence will walk free. That PC stuff is really dangerous.
The Quran is filled with commands to Muslims to commit atrocities, barbaric murders and jihad against non-Muslims. The commands are permanent for all time.
Bukhari:V4B52N220 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.'”
Qur’an:8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”
Quran (3:151) – “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers”
Quran 8:12, “When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.”
Quran (3:56) – “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”
Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have
passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.”
“Now when ye meet those who disbelieve, smite their necks until when ye have slain them greatly…He (Allah) ordained fighting in order that He may prove
so it is like a rabbi saying:
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22)
“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.” (Leviticus 20:13)
Maybe we should ask the prez to have him deported? His hate language is terrible and instigating hate in the U. S. is wrong — pls do not tell me it is Freedom of Speech– I do not buy that one!!
So he’s here on a political asylum visa after arriving on a religious work visa. And now calling for people to commit murder based on some religious dictate. That’s his religious work? Why isn’t this pos on the next plane to Syria (where he came from) on a one way ticket. We need someone capable to run the asylum, and run this garbage out of our country.
