Islamic Jew-Hatred: California Imams Proudly Voice Their Support of October 7 Hamas Attack (Videos)

Imams in several Californian mosques have been delivering sermons that endorse the October 7th attacks by Hamas and express deep-seated Islamic hatred of Jews. This pattern, while not new in mosques across the Western world, has gained more attention since the October 7 attack. The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has conducted extensive research into these sermons, uncovering a series of disturbing statements that advocate for violence and deny the heinous acts committed by Hamas.

Direct Summary of Disturbing Sermons and Statements:

1. Santa Clara Imam’s Speech (Imam Amir Abdel Malik Ali): Accused Jews of being “the new Nazis” and spread theories of imminent ‘false flag’ attacks in the U.S. to target Muslims. He claimed a rise in Islam’s popularity in the West due to Gaza, suggesting that any terrorist attack in America would be falsely attributed to Muslims.
2. Torrance Imam’s Sermon (Imam Mohammad S. Ahmed): Lamented not being chosen as martyrs like the Palestinians, vilifying the Children of Israel for their long history of alleged wickedness and murder.
3. UCLA Professor’s Sermon (Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl): Equated the treatment of Palestinians by Israelis and Americans to the Nazis’ treatment of Jews, accusing them of similar dehumanization tactics.
4. AMP Official’s Speech (Taher Herzallah): Urged making Zionists feel extremely uncomfortable on campuses, declared the necessity for Muslims to dominate Palestine, and described the October 7 actions of Yemen and Gaza as a shattering of Western superiority.
5. Rancho Cucamonga Banker’s Sermon (Dr. Yahya Abdul-Rahman): Celebrated Gaza’s military advancements against Israel, boasting about their ability to manufacture rockets and destroy Merkava tanks.
6. Islamic Scholar’s Sermon (Dr. Khaled Bahajri): Recommended adopting Hamas’s approach to treating prisoners as a model for proselytizing Islam.
7. California Imam’s Sermon (Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini): Denounced Jews as killers of their prophets and habitual liars, accusing them of justifying attacks on Gaza hospitals and engaging in widespread disinformation.
8. Upland Imam’s Sermon (Imam Marc Manley): Employed aggressive language against Israel, expressing a desire to witness Israel’s downfall and accusing them of fabricating atrocities.
9. San Francisco Scholar’s Lecture (Dr. Khalid Siddiqi): Asserted that Jews, although a small fraction of the population, are responsible for the majority of the world’s problems and extolled the Palestinian struggle as invincible.

CAIR’s Controversial Statements and White House Response:

• Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR, stated he was “happy to see” Palestinians “breaking the siege” on October 7 and claimed that “the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense” while asserting that “Israel, as an occupying power, does not have that right.”
• These statements led to a significant decision by the White House to disavow CAIR and remove it from its National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.

The recent revelations of sermons and statements by key figures in the Muslim community in California have unveiled a worrying pattern of Islamic supremacy, antisemitism, and support for Hamas. These developments not only threaten non-Muslims but also raise serious concerns about the propagation of dangerous and violent views under the guise of religious teachings.
