The embers of hatred have to be kept glowing. Friendly contact is not permitted.

“Dutch imam suspended after meeting Isaac Herzog in delegation to Israel,” by Rayhan Uddin, Middle East Eye, July 8, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Dutch imam has been suspended from his mosque after meeting Israeli President Isaac Herzog as part of a delegation of Muslim figures from Europe visiting Israel.
Youssef Msibih, an imam at Bilal Mosque in the northern Dutch city of Alkmaar, was among a group of 15 Muslim preachers who met Herzog in Jerusalem on Monday.
During the meeting, Msibih sang a song that re-interpreted the Israeli national anthem in Arabic.
Bilal Mosque announced on Tuesday morning that Masbeh had been suspended “with immediate effect”.
“Following recent political statements by the imam, the board has decided to suspend him with immediate effect,” the mosque said in a statement posted on its Instagram. “As of this moment, the institution has no relationship with him.”
The trip was organised by Elnet, an NGO that works to strengthen the relationship between Israel and Europe.
On Monday, the group visited Israel’s parliament, as well as Muslim, Christian and Jewish sites located in the Old City in occupied [sic] East Jerusalem.
Later in the week, they will visit Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial centre, meet with the Israeli military’s Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee, and visit the site of an Iranian ballistic missile impact in Tel Aviv.
The group will also visit the family members of Palestinian Bedouins who were held captive in Gaza, as well as members of the Syrian Druze community in the occupied Golan Heights whose family members were killed by suspected Hezbollah rocket fire….

Islamists are the scum of the earth. They even hate other Muslims who have morals, like the Dutch Imam.

Suspended, funny word for going against Islam and meeting with a Jewish president. How long will he be breathing is the question.

More unhinged Islamic hatred of Jews.

I’m surprised he’s not threatened with beheading. It was very brave of him to attend, as Islam keeps their adherents in line through violence.

Before Golda Meir became prime minister, she clandestinely met with the king of Jordan. That king was assassinate, and one of the reasons given by 5he assassin was that the king met with Golda Meir. It’s an Islam thing!

Can’t the Dutch authorities take a stance, pick the side of this imam and crack down on this mosque for suspending him? Either force them to reinstate him or shut them down! At least then, they can’t be accused of islamophobia since both parties in this are muslim

@Robert Spencer: you write: “You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe.” (Qur’an 5:82) Do I understand correctly that this surah is Medinan?
Robert Spencer says
