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….
Harper is a good leader.
This is what Harper’s stupid pandering to Islam bought him. He blew a load of canadian taxpayer money on Aga Khan and his islam center. And he’s now an enemy of islam anyway.
Harper’s leader of the free world... I’m not Canadian... this doesn’t make me happy. It’s a statement of fact. Then again, thank God we have a leader - - any leader - - even if he is Canadian...
A lot of Muslims I know came here to get away from that kind of stuff. I think it is pushed more by white liberals who are drawn to its anti-Americanism.
Remember, the ONLY reason that Islam is respected by the Left is 9/11.
Deport this Scum Now !!!!!
Exactly. Why would any civilized country allow Raghead to proselytize and emanate vitriol in their land?
One wonder where the much lauded Anti-hate-crime bureaucrats are hiding when this kind of stuff is spouted... Oh yah, I forgot, Harper is a White Male Conservative, so he doesn’t count.
A high compliment, indeed !
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Shaykh Said Rageah is a disgrace to Islam. Oh he may be educated in the Sunna and Shayit ( Sharia Law) but he is no where near being a mainstream Muslim as exemplified say by the Sufi Shrines of the Punjab and good men like Sain Zahoor Ahmad, who would never follow the Sunna or the Shayit, because its full of idiots like Rageah.
To Rageah I say, “BRING IT!!”
Meanwhile I wait with baited breath for a good patriotic Canadian to file a sworn complaint with either a provincial or federal Human Rights Board based on the Sheik’s hate speech.
And for those who want to see a good Muslim, Sain Zahoor , a holy man, in action, singing a devotional song , Allah Hoo:

Its time we Westerners knew the difference.The Sufi of the Punjab are fine people, genuinely kind and peaceful warrior poets who have no time for the idiot jihadhis of modern times.They are the dignified conservatives of Islam.We need more like them.The Muslim Brotherhood and jihadis have learned to stay away from the Sufis.
You can google Sain Zahoor if you want more information about this holy man.
As far as Shaykh Said Rageah goes, he is not even fit to drink the pish of a man like Zahoor.
PM Harper can get the deportation order for Rageah ready and start listening to Sufi Qawallis
Just what I was thinking. Harper should wear this as a badge of honor.
