Vancouver mosque leader preached killing Jews

Last Updated Fri, 22 Oct 2004 08:08:48 EDT

VANCOUVER - The leader of the Vancouver mosque, attended by the Canadian killed recently in Chechnya, has been found to be preaching about killing Jews.

Mosque leader Younus Kathradra made the speech in in response to the death of Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of Hamas. He was killed last spring in an Israeli helicopter attack.

A recording was posted on the mosque's web site. In it Kathradra says " ... we are dealing with a people ... the brothers of the monkeys and the swine ... who's treachery is well known. We should all remember ... that these are people who will never keep their word."

His preachings repeatedly talk of killing Jews.

Later in the sermon Kathradra says the writings of the Koran view Jews as a treacherous people. He also chastises Muslims who preach tolerance.

"Today we hear from .. those who claim to be Muslims. We hear them, telling us that we must have love and must live in peace with these Jews. The reality is there is never going to be peace with them [the Jews]."

Kathradra couldn't be reached by CBC News to explain his speech.

The mosque is the same one that Rudwan Khalil Abubaker attended.

Rudwan Khalil Abubaker

Abubaker was one of four men killed by Russian troops in Chechnya earlier this month.

Abubaker's family claim Rudwan and another man, Khamal Elbahja, went to a wedding in nearby Azerbaijan and were never seen again.

Abubaker's family says, he attended the local mosque, but nothing he said or did aroused suspicion that he was involved in any extreme political agenda.

Vancouver lawyer Phil Rankin is representing the Abubaker family and says no matter what was said in the mosque, Rudwan was not an extremist.

"He was not subscribing to anti-Jewish views, he was not on a crusade, he was not going there [Chechnya] to even the score about Israel or anything else," said Rankin.

"Vancouver mosque leader preached killing Jews"

This is a "dog bites man" kind of news, not a "man bites dog" variety

No, he just went to Chechnya for a nice spring vacation. I hear it's very nice there this time of year.

Gosh, ya don't say! It's only in the Quran. I can't imagine why he'd be so against Jews. /sarcasm

Oh no, of course not!

I thought hate speech was against the law in Canada.

Oh, that's right. Hate speech is only if you are a Christian pastor quoting the Bible about homosexuality.

Silly me. I forgot.

There are two and they are both welcomed guests. The two largest Islamic Fundamentalist centers outside the Arab world are both in Canada (N. Vancouver, BC and Windsor, ON).

There is a viper loose and it's harbored by our neighbors.

Remind me never to attend a "wedding" in any Muslim country, might get too much of a "bang" out of it!

So what became of the hateful preacher? In my kingdom, he would be in prison doing hard time and would be subjected to endless interrogations. But "hate speech" laws are so very selectively applied nowadays. We have to "understand" their rage. President Clinton has said so. Musn't discriminate on the basis of religion. We can't go back to the bad old days of "internment" (Germans, Japanese, Italians). As for the Jews, let them eat cake. Pardon my irony, but anyone who cannot see Armageddon when he is staring right at it is in some serious need of therapy. As for our enemies, they must think that they have our number. The annihilation of the Jews may be their crowning achievement (same for Hitler), but they mean to exterminate ALL infidels on earth! (Hitler murdered many millions more of non-Jews as well).

Vancouver lawyer Phil Rankin is representing the Abubaker family and says no matter how many bullets Rudwan fired into the bodies of terrorized-out-of-their-minds innocent children in their underwear, Rudwan was not an extremist.

I get it.

Amazing how many jihadis turn up dead at "weddings".

Rudwan? That's a guy in that pic? I would've sworn it was a female. Looks like a black rap singer album cover.

It is rumored 25 Chechnyans crossed the Mexican border, in July.Plans were found,of 6 schools, one in Oregon, and 2 in San Diego, on a terrorist in Iraq,also reported last July.These are the same pigs who cut down those innocent school children, in Russia.I have a real bad, gut feeling, these guys are coming after our KIDS.Think about it, what is the least protected area in the country? Schools, full of idiot liberals, who wouldn't fire a gun if there lives depended on it!So forget about protecting our children!Also you can't have a gun within so many feet of a school!So even if you did have a gun, and attempted to protect the children..Yes the idiot liberal teachers too, you would be shot by the local police!So much for being a concerned citizen.
