An imam in California has called for the destruction of the Jews amidst ongoing Arab riots in Jerusalem over Israeli security measures on the Temple Mount.
Delivering a Friday sermon at the Islamic Center of Davis near Sacramento on Friday, Egyptian-born American Imam Ammar Shahin called for God to “liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews” and “destroy those who closed the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
“Oh Allah, count them all and annihilate them down to the very last one. Do not spare any of them,” the Egyptian born cleric said. Speaking in both English and Arabic, he cited an Islamic tradition that at the end of days stones and trees would speak, telling Muslims "there is a Jew behind me – come and kill him!”
Last week Montreal police issued an arrest warrant for a Palestinian-Jordanian Imam who had delivered a sermon citing the same tradition.
Sheikh Muhammad ibn Musa Al Nasr called Jews "human demons” and said that he looked forward to the end of days when they would be destroyed.
