Canada: Imam who prayed that Allah would kill all his ‘enemies’ is linked to ISIS and ‘expert’ on ‘Islamophobia’

No surprise here. The “Islamophobia” scam is just a means to enable the advance of jihad activity by means of demonizing and stigmatizing resistance to it.

“FIRST READING: The man who led a street full of cheering Montrealers in prayer to ‘kill them all,'” by Tristin Hopper, National Post, November 9, 2023:

A man on a balcony in a Canadian downtown takes a microphone and leads a public prayer for the violent eradication of the “Zionist aggressors.” “Allah, count every one of them, and kill them all, and do not exempt even one of them,” he says in Arabic. Below him, a crowd of hundreds respond with cheers.

The speaker was Montreal Imam Adil Charkaoui, and the venue was the city’s Oct. 28 “Stop the Genocide in Gaza” rally — one of dozens of Canadian events organized over the last 30 days by the Palestinian Youth Movement, a group that has openly praised the Oct. 7 massacres and called for continued violence against Israel.

Charkaoui’s speech may very well have been overlooked entirely if he hadn’t posted it online himself. He posted it (from multiple angles) to his Twitter, Instagram and Facebook profiles — along with lengthy screeds calling for the violent destruction of Israel, and denouncing Western media and politicians as Zionist collaborators.

“Israel terrorist, politicians complicit,” he wrote in French in an Oct. 31 post repeating a chant led by the same crowd who cheered his “kill them all” prayer.

“The only solution is the end of the occupation,” he added, alleging that the “Zionist entity” could be destroyed in 24 hours if not for “traitors” in the Arab world staying the Palestinians’ hand.

This is not out of the ordinary for Charkaoui, a Moroccan immigrant who has spent more than 20 years facing allegations and police investigations linking him to Islamist groups ranging from al-Qaeda to the Taliban to ISIS.

None of which has stopped him from obtaining Canadian citizenship and even being cited as an expert on “anti-Islamophobia.”…

At the time Parti Québécois secularism critic Agnès Maltais accused Charkaoui of “recruiting” Jihadis. Charkaoui did not deny a connection to the two men arrested, but chalked up all other accusations to a political “witch hunt.”

It was around this same time that Charkaoui founded the Quebec Collective Against Islamophobia, on whose behalf he would even testify at a 2015 Quebec National Assembly hearing. In 2014, Reuters would cite him as an expert about a purported rise in “Anti-Muslim bullying” following an Islamist terrorist attack on Parliament Hill….
