Mosque Defends Imam: He Meant ‘Destroy’ Jews, Not ‘Annihilate’ Them
Breitbart ^ | 7-25-17 | Joel B. Pollak

The Islamic Center of Davis, California, has defended Imam Ammar Shahin over a sermon last Friday in which he quoted an antisemitic text and prayed for Allah to “annihilate” Jews “down to the very last one.” In a statement issued Tuesday morning, and e-mailed to Breitbart News, the mosque claimed that Shahin’s sermon was quoted out of context, and lashed out against “Islamophobic news organizations.”

It claimed that the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) had mis-translated Shahin’s prayer, and that he prayed that Allah “destroy” rather than “annihilate” the Jews responsible for temporarily closing access to the Al-Aqsa mosque (after a terror attack).

The word “destroy,” the mosque claimed, was not a call to violence but merely a “supplication that is generally used against oppressors.”

The mosque’s full statement is as follows:

That explains anything. And as the Mosque spokesman points out, it's islamaphobic to accuse someone of advocating the annihilation destruction of Jews. Everywhere, including the US. Where he was speaking.

If a Christian minister had said something like this all Hades would break loose.

But Muslims are evidently allowed to say and do the most hateful things, no matter what.

If nothing else, it lays to rest the false notion that some Muslims are ‘moderates’ - more taqiyyah.

Well come on people there is an important difference between destroy and annihilate.

Destroy all Jews means to kill them all.

Annihilate all Jews mean: kill all the Jews then burn them all to ashes and then burn the ashes.

These subtle differences are important.

Glad they got that cleared up; wouldn’t want to leave any misimpression.

Western civ is so different...
