Toronto Imam: Canada’s PM Harper “an enemy of Islam”

Toronto Imam: Canada’s PM Harper “an enemy of Islam”

This is tantamount to a call for his murder. “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land.” (Qur’an 5:33)

“Toronto imam: Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper ‘is the enemy of Islam,'” by Jonathan Halevi, Alternative Angle, February 7, 2015 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

Shaykh Said Rageah (الشيخ سعيد راجح) was born in Somalia and in the late 80sn moved to North America. Rageah has a Bachelor’s in Islamic studies and a Masters in Shari’ah and he has had several posts over the years, including: founder of Masjid Huda in Montreal and Masjid Aya in Maryland, advisor for Muslim Youth magazine, and member in the Aqsa Association.

He is also the founder of both Muslim Magazine and Al Aqsa Association, and served as the Chaplain at both the University of Calgary and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). Currently, he serves as Imam at the Abu Hurairah Mosque in Toronto, the Chairman for the Journey of Faith Conference and as an instructor for the AlMaghrib Institute.

Rageah was invited in 2012 to give a speech on Islamic issues at Assalam Mosque in Ottawa. The following is an excerpt (25:20-26:59) of his speech (the video was uploaded to YouTube on September 12, 2012):

“If one of us was invited by the Prime Minister of this country [Stephen Harper] and he says: ‘I’ll give you a special invitation, exclusive invitation, come to my house, have dinner with me, chat with me, sit with me, talk to me, I’ll talk to you.’ I guarantee you, everyone of you will come out of that meeting raising his head with pride, so proud of himself, so pleased, you know, twitting every second: O I’m sitting with the Prime Minister [Stephen Harper], you know, you know, putting on Facebook: This is my picture with the Prime Minister [Stephen Harper], you know, and you’ll brag on that day and night. Every single moment when someone says: Peace be upon you, (السلام عليكم), O do you know I was just chatting with the Prime Minister [Stephen Harper]. When Someone says: ‘How are the children?’ ‘His house is excellent.’ Your life will be nothing but him, and he [Stephen Harper] is the enemy of Islam. He [Stephen Harper] is an enemy of Islam. I guarantee you, we go to him right now, and he is the man who said, you know, the threat of this country is Islamism. All of us would say: ‘Mister Prime Minister, can we take a picture with you?’ We are so proud of that, because it is the human nature, but Allah is telling you: ‘Stay with me every night.’ Seclusion (خلوة) with Allah we don’t care. We don’t care. The voluntary prayer during the night (قيام الليل) is a conversation (نجوة) between you and Allah, no one else.”

Rageah did not elaborate in his speech what is the Islamic ruling regarding an “enemy of Islam.” In previous speech (February 2012) at the University of Waterloo as part of the Islamic Awareness Week organized by the local Muslim Students Association (MSA) ans partially funded by the university, Rageah implicitly justified the death penalty for apostates and those who insult the prophets….

## How much longer will the West allow an insane, muderous blood cult to advance an agenda of world conquest through death, and by usurping and using against it, the West's own innate freedom, kindness, fairness, generosity, and compassion?

A Masters in Sharia?

I see the colleges are totally compromised and that is where the militancy of this malignant cancer will metastasize.

How does one get that? Do you cut off a certain amount of limbs?

Islamic studies?

Remember the rule about any joke of a course ending in “studies”.

Islam is evil and sooner or later we’ll have to deal with it.

Islam, the religion that aligned itself with Hitler.

Adolph Hitler was a great dresser, and did a photo-spread for "Home and Garden."

He was often depicted by the eager Western media as playing with dogs and children, a perfect gentleman, a vegetarian (would not harm a flea), tea-drinker (nothing better than that), and so well spoken and mannerly.

Same thing with the Islamos, today. "History" does not "repeat itself;" every 20 years---each new generation starts over as stoopid. This is always intentional by those who rule---suppress the news and true history and keep the peasants in the dark and mold and control them....

While absolutely and completely horrific, even a failed assassination attempt might grab the attention of leaders and legislators of otherwise sane First World countries who have been allowing the infection that is radicalized Islam to fester.

Then I expect any day some Canadian Human Rights Tribunal will conduct a trial. After all, "hate speech" is against the law there, isn't it?

When’s the last time anybody heard of a Muslim being beheaded by an “infidel”?

Seriously.

“he has had several posts over the years, including: founder of Masjid Huda in Montreal and Masjid Aya in Maryland”

I bet the Masjid Aya is a peaceful organization and protests violence against Americans now that he is gone.../s

Are you implying that my degree in Engineering Studies is not worth the sheepskin it is printed on?

PS - Please do not tell the sheep’s family. They think he died a hero...
