 MEMRI has stories like this every week. Now that Israel is approaching the end of Covid, and Bibi Netanyahu’s fourth reelection is only days away, The Times of Israel is returning to normal concerns. [IsraelTimes] Fadi Yusef Kablawi in sermon tells mosque-goers peace with Jews is for ’losers’ and ’criminal’ Jews behind all corruption worldwide.
A Miami-based imam criticized those who seek peace and normalization with Jews, whom he referred to as "the offspring of apes and pigs" that are behind all corruption worldwide, in a Friday sermon.
Imam Dr. Fadi Yusef Kablawi’s speech at the North Miami Islamic Center
...not to be confused with Islamic Center of North Miami, Islamic Center of Greater Miami (ISNA — Muslim Brotherhood), or North East Islamic Community Center (for Turkish Americans)... was posted to the mosque’s Facebook page and translated this week by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
"Some people talk about peace and normalization and say that these are good people... Are you crazy? You are fools, that is what you are," Kablawi said, likely referring to the recent signing of diplomatic agreements between Israel and various Arab and Moslem-majority states.
Israel established ties last year with the UAE and Bahrain in a US-brokered deal known as the Abraham Accords. Sudan, Morocco, and Kosovo followed suit shortly after.
"You sold your religion, your people, your creed, your nations, and your nationalism, and you stand for nothing, because you are losers," the imam said, adding that "you have nothing to stand up for, so you seek your honor from others... Who do you go to? The brothers of the apes and pigs. Huh? The offspring of pigs and apes — that’s who you seek you honor from?"
Extremist Islamists have often referred to Jews as pigs and apes, based on their interpretation of certain Koranic verses.
Kablawi’s Friday sermon also blamed Jews for spreading "corruption" upon the land.
"Criminals — [those] people are criminals. There is no corruption in the world that the [Jews] are not behind. [You should] know it for a fact," he said.
According to MEMRI, Kablawi is a dentist and had immigrated to the United States from Jordan.
Fadi Kablawi (Qablawi), head imam of the North Miami Islamic Center (NMIC) and FBI ’person of interest,’ is a radical Moslem’s radical. His targets comprise of Jews, Christians, homosexuals, women, Hindus and Moslems, even his fellow radical Moslems. This past July, he made the claim that Jews are behind all the corruption on Earth. He did so, during one of his Friday khutbas (sermons), in front of his congregation, which includes young and impressionable children. At times, he draws large crowds. Will Kablawi’s dangerous rhetoric drive one or more of his followers to commit acts of violence? Has it already?
Fadi Yusef Kablawi, a.k.a. Abu Ubeidah, was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1978. At the age of 17, he moved to the US with his family. After finishing high school, Kablawi attended Florida International University (FIU) for his undergraduate studies and completed his doctoral degree in dental medicine, at the University of Pennsylvania, in 2005. Working alongside his wife, he had a thriving Miami dentistry, until August 2017, when he was arrested for allegedly using his business to overcharge his patients and commit Medicaid fraud. A video news report depicts a somber Kablawi handcuffed and sporting an orange jumpsuit, standing in front of Bond Court judge, Mindy Glazer, who happens to be Jewish.
Incorporated in September 2010, the North Miami Islamic Center (NMIC), a.k.a. Masjid As Sunnah An Nabawiyyah, is the brainchild of Kablawi. In fact, the mosque’s colorful logo bears the name of Kablawi’s former corporation, al-Tayyib, which is as well the mosque’s website address, altayyib.com. A children’s school, Reviver Academy, shares the identical North Miami location of the mosque. According to Kablawi, he created the school in order to provide a pure and unfiltered form of Islam for the kids. Photos and video footage from the school show the children using the same area of the mosque where Kablawi emits his hate speech.
This past July, hundreds of mosque goers packed Kablawi’s NMIC, as Kablawi stood in front leading prayers. No doubt, his type of no frills Islamic fundamentalism has attracted a significant segment of the Moslem community. One must therefore question how much of Kablawi’s extreme and bigoted rhetoric has his congregants taken to heart, and are they willing to act on it, meaning violent mostly peacefully? One of his followers, Salman Rashid, this past December, was charged with soliciting ISIS to murder the deans of two South Florida colleges.
But Mr. Rashid’s ISIS contacts turned out to be FBI informants, with the usual result. And according to Kablawi, he himself is considered by the FBI to be a member of ISIS.
