Toronto imam preaching 'hate instead of harmony' - Damn The 'Infidels'

A Toronto-area imam is under fire for using derogatory language against Jews and Christians, calling for Allah to "destroy" the enemies of Islam from within and calling on God to "damn" the "infidels."

The address, given last Friday by Imam Saed Rageah at North York's Abu Huraira Centre and then posted on YouTube, is an attack on those who have been calling for a ban on the niqab and burka, both of which cover the faces of women.

"Allah protect us from the fitna [sedition] of these people; Allah protect us from the evil agenda of these people; Allah destroy them from within themselves, and do not allow them to raise their heads in destroying Islam."

Tarek Fatah, a Canadian Muslim author and commentator, said that type of language could be interpreted as a call to violence. As well, the imam asks Allah to "damn" Christians and Jews.

"The cleric's ritual prayer asking for the defeat of Christians and Jews and the victory of Islam is not unique," Mr. Fatah said. "It is uttered by many clerics across Canada spreading hate instead of harmony. There should be no room in Canada's mosques for such hatred, especially when most of these institutions get [tax-free status]."

Silly imam. Don’t you know you can only talk like that in Chicago?

I’m glad our border is strong and secure so people like him won’t get into the USA.

I thought Canada had banned hate speech, or does that only apply to non-Muslims?

I thought only white straight Christians are capable of hate, since they have all the power to implement their racism. /sarc

I think it only applies to Mark Steyn.

I’m sure all our liberal friends will be concerned about this “hate speech”.

Oh calamity! He is "under fire" is he? Consider the case of Christian pastor Mark Harding. Harding had protested against the refusal of a High School in Toronto to allow a separate room for Christian prayer. At the same time allowing a room for Islamic prayers. He also quoted the Koran in leaflets. Those quotes were very violent against non- believers. This was about seven years ago.

A Judge ordered him under threat of six months imprisonment to take instructions from an Imam. His obligation entailed 340 hours. This poor man had to drive three hours to get to the designated Imam. The Imam made him read things derogatory to non-Muslims. He refused and was told "I will have you sent to prison". He suffered heart attacks and lost his business.I learn that he is still carrying on his crusade of trying to tell people about intolerance.

Where is the Canadian Human Rights Commission? where is the Judge? Running scared- the hypocrits.

There is no such person as a “moderate” Muzlem. There are “closet radical Muzlems” or there are Muzlems converted to Christianity or another faith-walk.

A moderate Muzlem is merely a secret sleeper cell who will morph into a murderer whenever (IF ever) Islam takes control of the State and/or the Nation.

Doubt not. The only good Muzlem is a Converted Muslem who no longer identifies himself/herself as a Muzlem.
