Longtime readers will know that we have featured here numerous Muslim clerics praying almost identical prayers. Here are four examples. It is quite common. In light of that, do you think the Islamic Center’s apology is sincere? Do you think it will indeed stop featuring such messages?
“Rockland County, NY Imam: Hamas Are The ‘People Of Allah,’ Cannot Be Defeated; Oh Allah, Guide The Shooting Of Our Brothers In Gaza, Destroy The Zionist Jews,” MEMRI, August 9, 2024:
In his August 9, 2024 Friday sermon at the Islamic Center of Rockland County, New York, the imam praised Hamas, saying that they are “the people of Allah” and Israel, the United States, Germany, and England cannot defeat them, because they have faith in Allah. He supplicated asking Allah to guide the shooting of “our brothers” in Palestine and Gaza, to destroy the Zionist Jews and to “seize them in a crushing grip.” The sermon was streamed live on the YouTube page of the Islamic Center of Rockland.
Imam: “Allah told us in the Holy Quran – and this is not my words and this is not racism… He said: ‘The Jews and Christians will not accept you until you follow their religions.’ You see what is happening now. They all gather against the people of Gaza. What is Gaza and what is Hamas now? [There are] 20,000-30,000 soldiers there, facing the armies of the United States, Germany, France, England, and they send the army of Isr… the occupation army it has over 350,000 [soldiers] all to fight 30,000 people. And who is winning there? The people of Allah – they are winning. They are not losing that battle. It’s been 11 months non-stop, and they still can’t defeat them, because they have in their hearts that faith, the one we don’t have ourselves. Oh Allah, grant victory to our brothers in Gaza and in Palestine.
“Guide their shooting, oh Lord of the Universe, Oh Allah destroy the Zionist Jews, Oh Allah, seize them with a crushing grip, oh Lord of the Universe. Oh Allah, make their plots backfire on them, oh Lord of the Universe. Oh Allah, shake the ground beneath their feet, oh Lord of the Universe, Oh Allah, liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the plundering Jews, return it to the fold of the Muslims, and let us pray there, oh Lord of the Universe.”
“Extreme rhetoric in New York mosques as imams call for destruction of Israel, praise Hamas,” by Isabel Vincent and Benjamin Weinthal, New York Post, August 26, 2024:
…The pro-Hamas comments in Bay Ridge came three days after an imam at the Islamic Center of Rockland County called for “the destruction of the Zionist Jews,” according to a translation by MEMRI TV.
“Oh Allah, seize them with a crushing grip,” the unnamed imam continued.
The Rockland County mosque apologized for the visiting imam’s sermon following complaints from local Jewish groups and elected officials.
“On August 9, during a sermon at our masjid, a guest imam delivered several hurtful statements that included a prayer to God for the destruction of Zionist Jews as part of the conflict in Gaza,” the Islamic Center said in a statement.
“We unequivocally condemn these statements. We sincerely apologize for any pain caused by these remarks and will ensure that our platform is not used to promote these types of harmful messages going forward.”…

If allah is OK with Jews {“the children of Israel”}living in the Land of Israel
koran 17::104 what right do hizbollah/hamas have to annihilate the Land of Israel?
If allah confirms the Torah in koran 3:3 then how did allah miss the ENTIRE CONTENTS of the real Torah:?where is the Law of Moses in islam?The Golden Rule,Two chief commandments,,Exodus 20 laws
Why is allah’s greatest enemy a MAN called the “king of kings”?Who is this man?
{Sahih muslim vol 5 hadith #5611}
If allah is the “best of deceivers” do you think he could be deceiving You.After all he says he is the BEST at deceiving folk…
“islam will dominate the World”.to do that that you would have to take Jerusalem.Did you ever hear of the Prophet Zechariah?allah {“the knower of ALL things}probably didn’t.If allah was the same as the Biblical God then allah/muslims would know about Zechariah’s prophecy about Jerusalem

“In light of that, do you think the Islamic Center’s apology is sincere?”
When lying to the kafir is an accepted part of your religion, no, I don’t think the apology is sincere.
JS says
I don’t believe he’s sincere. He just knows that MEMRI.org has been watching and translating everything they say AND uploading them to YouTube. How emboldened and brazen they’ve become!
Now let’s talk about YouTube. I am a premium member yet I was warned by YT (after I saw a video reported their insanely RADICAL & hateful content and misinformation) that I said “hateful” things. But that wasn’t true. I was responding to hateful comments and lies said about Israel and Jews. But then, after not commenting for weeks, I run into another channel and in the comment section they’re calling Jews Nazis. When I commented that “No, but Hitler sure loved Islam” (which is true and I’ve even seen old documentaries with the German army holding and reading a a Quran) I was told that it my comment was hateful, and banned from commenting for 1day.
Yet, there were comments that “Zionists are Nazis” and more. There are such hateful comments and VIDEOS about Jews, but they’re allowed to exist on YouTube.
And these mosques that upload threats to Jews, the US, Biden, and the “all infidels.”
So, the point is, even social media like You Tube is a problem. YouTube needs to be broken up from its conglomerate Google. I’m looking for another email provider, as well. For example , Google Play has taken down PragerU app because they have a video they don’t like on it called Infidels. PragerU is fighting them in court.
So, the monsters in the video calling for the death of Jews and Christian’s, and the US as a whole, will continue until we do something about it, like investigate and prosecute them.

Islam ( submission)will collapse ,like USSR in 1989,if we DENOUNCE PSEUDO PROPHET MUHAMMAD,who according to his biography( Sira) and traditions( Hadith) was a pedophile( wife Aisha was 9 yo), rapist, murderer, bandit (keeping20% of the booty for himself),liar and sex-slave trader and also LIBERATE THE MUSLIM WOMEN from barbaric Sharia Law.The Koran states women are dumb, less intelligent than men,wives must be beaten for disobedience by their hudbands ,all women will go to hell unless in the last day their husband says he was pleased with her and all women must hide their curves and wear burkas ,so that men will not be aroused to rape them.Islam is a misogynistic ,violent , imperialist political ideology of Arab male supremacy ISLAMOFASCISM(~70%), DISGUISED AS A RELIGION(~ 30%) that strives through violent Jihad and soft cultural Jihad of immigration ( dawa)to subjugate the World.Jihadists are promised, if killed battling infidels-kafirs,) they will go to Paradise to enjoy 72 virgins ,taking along 70 of their relatives regardless of their sins!Withdraw from UN MIGRANT COMPACT ,that falsely claims immigration is a Human Right expecting Western countries to accept and provide for an endless number of muslim illegal immigrants ,thus islamizing them. Muslim “refugees “should stay in Turkey or vast rich Saudi Arabia ,until they can return to their countries.We must denounce islamic Sharia (=way)law of blasphemer,apostate ,homosexual , adulterer and hypocrite executions,misogyny,honor killings by stoning,hand amputations for theft,child brides,girls exclusion from schools,halal meat from tortured animals,clitorectomies,circumcisions,subjugation and segregation of women,burkas and Sharia banning of short skirts,bikinis,dancing,singing,painting ,sculptures of people,dogs,pork,alcohol and beauty contests .Demand gender equality for ALL muslim women.Punish severely those that kill apostates from Islam,blasphemers,adulterers or muslim hypocrites.Islam is incompatible with our freedom of speech, gender equality, values,way of life, Human Rights.

“The Rockland County mosque later apologized for the imam’s words after complaints from Jewish groups and local leaders.”
As always, of course, not because members of “the flock” complained. MEMRI and other organizations could/should make their faces known to the public, too—not just those of the clerics.
The filthy kuffar they so hate should know if their doctors, dentists, school teachers and others attend those sermons.
Frank Anderson says
Basic, fundamental Islamic teaching directly from the Perfect Man and Perfect Example for All Time is that lying whenever advantage can be obtained is not only permitted but encouraged. Spreading confusion about final, perfect, complete and unchangeable Islamic teachings and practice among dirty no-good worthless Infidels is to followers a good thing. See for yourself that this man is not telling the truth about Islam.
Frank Anderson says
I am sure this is not the exact quote. “The devil’s greatest success is convincing people that he does not exist.” Among many people I know the “Religion of Peace” lie is a close second.

It’s the usual one thing in English for unsuspecting kafirs, another thing in Arabic/Urdu/Turkish for their troops in the mosque
