California Friday Sermon: Imam Ammar Shahin Cites Antisemitic Hadith, Prays for Annihilation of Jews, and Calls to Liberate Al-Aqsa Mosque from Their 'Filth'
2019-01-13
One day this mosque or this imam will show up on Page 1: WoT, and then a search of our archives will throw up this article. Separately, the MEMRItv home page now has a section on peace and normalization with Israel. The times, they are a-changing.
[MEMRI] On July 21, 2017 the Egyptian-born American preacher Ammar Shahin delivered a Friday sermon at the Islamic Center of Davis, northern California, where he serves as Imam. In it he cited an antisemitic hadith, according to which the Muslims would fight the Jews on Judgment Day, and prayed to Allah to "liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews" and to "annihilate them down to the very last one," not sparing any of them. "Oh Allah, make this happen by our hands. Let us play a part in this," he prayed in the sermon, which was posted on the Davis Masjid YouTube channel. Imam Shahin, who had earned a B.A. in Islamic studies in Egypt, traveled in 1999 to the U.S., where he obtained a degree in computer engineering. He is listed as an instructor of the Zidni Islamic Institute, a California-based organization that teaches Sunni Islam in the West.

#3  "White dove of Islam, land in Davis
To preach coexistence and save us
From those too myopic
Or Islamophobic
To favor this brave rara avis!"
