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:

Islam will never have “moderates”; anyone involved in such a thing would be killed for it. There is no room for a “reformation” in Islam because of this dynamic.

"The muzzy should be deported to the muzzy country of his choice."

Where deported means "dropped out of a plane at 10,000 ft."

If the average terrorist does not understand this nuance, how are we infidels supposed to know? /s

Well, that’s so much kinder and gentler. Reminds me of Mark Twain saying his someone was so kind that they’d warm the water before drowning kittens.

The muzzy should be deported to the muzzy country of his choice.

EVERY muzzy should be deported to the muzzy country of his or her choice.

Perhaps apostates should be allowed to stay, but any subsequent indication of the renunciation being merely an act of taqiyah is cause for instant deportation to any country that will take them.

If none will, they are smuggled into a hostile country and dropped off in the middle of nowhere...

Good, this works both ways: I want all of islam destroyed along with all muslims.

Pure Bull Shit.

Muslims will kill many innocent Jews. They feel it is their religious duty.

They praise the butchers of Jews.

Whew. I’m glad to just be destroyed; annihilated is just going a bit too far.
