Sharia Australia: Al Madina Dawah Centre's Calls for Death of Non-Muslims Ignored While Covid Mandate Violators Imprisoned (Video)

In a nation where strict enforcement of COVID-19 mandates led to aggressive policing and even imprisonment of those who failed to wear masks or adhere to other health directives, the situation at the Al Madina Dawah Centre in Bankstown, Sydney, stands in stark contrast. Despite the mosque and its Imam openly calling for the death of Jews, threatening non-Muslims, advocating armed jihad, and radicalizing Muslims during sermons, they have remained protected under the cloak of ‘religious freedom’. This apparent disparity has ignited a heated debate over the mosque’s role in fostering Islamic supremacism and terrorism.

The actions and sermons at this centre, laden with incendiary Islamic rhetoric and calls for violence, challenge the western conventional understanding of Islam solely as a religion. They instead show it is in fact a political movement with an agenda for global domination, akin to totalitarian ideologies like Fascism and Communism. The apparent inaction by Australian authorities, juxtaposed with their otherwise robust law enforcement practices, raises critical questions about the boundaries of Islam’s religious liberty and the challenges of two-tier policing. This situation has not only ignited concerns about radicalization within Australia’s Muslim community but also about the nation’s approach to handling such threats by Muslims to its national security.

Amidst this backdrop of tension between public safety and religious freedoms, the Al Madina Dawah Centre has emerged as a focal point of controversy, particularly due to a series of Islamic sermons that have garnered widespread attention and alarm. These sermons, delivered by key Muslim figures at the Centre, have not only raised eyebrows but have also amplified the urgency to scrutinize the fine line between Islamic religious preaching and the incitement of jihad terrorism.

Escalating Concerns Over Extremist Sermon

On December 15, an Islamic preacher at the Centre, known as Brother Muhammad, delivered a provocative sermon calling for ‘the final solution’ – a phrase used by the Nazis during World War Two to describe their policy of exterminating Jewish people. Brother Muhammad positioned the Israel-Palestine conflict as a catalyst for this ‘final solution’ for the Muslim community (umma).

He urged Muslims globally to unite and form an army to defend Islamic countries against Western nations, explicitly citing the ongoing Gaza conflict as a rallying point.

Brother Muhammad explicitly called for the unification of the Muslim world under a single Islamic leader, advocating for the implementation of Sharia law and the mobilization of Muslim armies. He demanded a unified Islamic state and military force to combat Western aggression, which has raised significant alarms about the radicalizing of Australia’s Muslim community.

History of Extremism at the Al Madina Dawah Centre

The Centre has been embroiled in controversy previously. Another cleric, Abu Ousayd, later identified as jihadi Wissam Haddad, had called for the killing of Jews in a past sermon. In a November 4, 2023 speech, Haddad reiterated Islamic parables about “killing Jews towards the end of times,” stating his belief in the prophecy.

Haddad, who runs the Al Madina Dawah Religious Centre, compared media coverage of his sermons to Nazi propaganda against Jews before the Holocaust, accusing the media of preparing for a Muslim genocide. Political and religious leaders have widely condemned these comments.

Haddad’s connections to terrorism are notable. He formerly ran the Al Risalah Centre, frequented by terrorists Mohamed Elomar and Khaled Sharrouf. This centre, known for promoting the extremist ideology (Islam) and recruiting young Australian Muslim men to fight in Syria, was linked to high-ranking figures in al-Qaeda and regular visitors who were prominent members of ISIS.

After being investigated and raided by Australian authorities in September 2013, the Al Risalah Islamic Centre closed, with Haddad blaming unfair targeting by ASIO and the media. Despite his contentious history, Haddad has maintained his stance in recent sermons, inciting calls for violence.

Inflammatory Advocacy for Jihad by Brother Ismail

In a disturbing continuation of Islamic rhetoric, the Al Madina Dawah Centre hosted yet another provocative sermon on October 27, 2023. Australian Islamic scholar “Brother Ismail” delivered a fiery speech, starkly advocating for Jihad as the sole solution for the Islamic nation. His rhetoric not only glorified the violent actions of groups like Hamas, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda but also denigrated moderate Islamic leaders and the Australian society at large.

Ismail’s sermon, laced with calls for violence, urged Palestinians to raise the flags of ISIS and Al-Qaeda, endorsing these symbols as representative of the entire Muslim community. He condemned Sunni leaders for their perceived inaction against Israel and criticized those who label Jihad as terrorism. Ismail’s alarming call for violence and martyrdom further exacerbates the already tense atmosphere surrounding the Muslim community in Australia.

Abu Ousayd’s Provocative Sermon on Jihad and Targetting Jews and Hindus

Further displaying the troubling atmosphere at the Al Madina Dawah Centre, Wissam “Abu Ousayd” Haddad delivered a deeply disturbing sermon on April 14, 2023. His speech accused Muslims of abandoning Jihad and included deeply antisemitic and anti-Hindu remarks.

In his sermon, Abu Ousayd referred to Jews as the “descendants of pigs and monkeys” and disparaged Hindus as “worshippers of cows and monkeys.”

He criticized the Muslim community for their inaction, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflicts in Kashmir and Palestine. He blamed the defeat of Muslims by the Mongols on their focus on intellectual pursuits rather than Jihad.

Abu Ousayd urged Muslims to emulate the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad as “worshippers at night and warriors by day.”

Saying ‘Merry Christmas’ Is Worse Than Congratulating A Person For Murder, Adultery, Drinking, Gambling

Wissam “Abu Ousayd” Haddad also made a shocking assertion at the Al Madina Dawah Centre on December 16, 2022. He proclaimed that extending Christmas greetings is an act more detestable to Allah than congratulating someone for heinous acts like murder or adultery. He vehemently argued that saying “Merry Christmas” equates to an act of disbelief, positioning it as a transgression greater than major sins in Islamic teachings.

Saying 'Merry Christmas' is "more severe and hated by Allah" than congratulating someone for drinking alcohol, committing murder, committing adultery, or gambling

Homosexuality Is Punishable By Death; We Must Boycott Indian Products by Hindu Cow-Worshippers

On June 10, 2022, in another Islamic sermon posted on the Instagram page of Al-Madina Dawah Centre, Wissam “Abu Ousayd” Haddad said that Muslims who claim homosexuality is permitted in Islam are “sick people” and apostates who should go to Hell. He stated that Muslims should not shy away from the fact that homosexuality is punishable by death according to Islamic law. Additionally, commenting on the recent controversy sparked by an official from India’s ruling BJP party who “insulted” Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, Abu Ousayd called on his audience to boycott Indian products because the “worshippers of cows” are making fun of Muhammad.

Government and Police Response

The situation at the Al Madina Dawah Centre presents a complex challenge to Australian society and its leaders. While religious freedom remains a cornerstone of democratic values, the escalation of Islamic rhetoric under the guise of religious preaching demands a more proactive and nuanced approach.

The activities of the Centre clearly illustrate that labeling Islam as a ‘religion’ serves as a ‘cloaking device,’ masking a political movement whose objectives reach far beyond mere spiritual guidance. This perspective, akin to totalitarian ideologies, underscores the urgent need for a critical examination of how such movements are shielded from scrutiny.

Authorities must balance the need to protect civil liberties with the vital responsibility of safeguarding national security and public safety. This balancing act is not just a matter of law enforcement but also a test of societal resilience against divisive ideologies like Islam that exploit religious freedoms for ulterior motives. As Australia navigates these turbulent waters, the response to the Al Madina Dawah Centre may well set a precedent for how the nation confronts and mitigates the risks of Islam within its borders.
