2016-10-08 |
[The Australian] A Pakistani scholar on a speaking tour across Australia has had events cancelled and has been asked to leave the country after a video emerged in which the man says global peace will only be established when the last Jew is killed. Muhammad Raza Saqib Mustafai spoke at Blacktown Mosque, and Al-Madinah Masjid in Liverpool on Monday, and was due to speak in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide in the coming weeks. He has since been asked to leave by the imam who organized the tour, Hafiz Raza from Blacktown Mosque. "Muslims are not terrorists; they are the lovers of peace and preachers of peace. And all the troubles that exist around the world are because of the Jews. When the Jews are wiped out, then the world would be purified," Mustafai says in the video, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute. The Pakistan Association of Australia was alerted to the video – called 'Jews Are the Enemies of Islam and Peace' – which was passed onto the organizers of the speaking tour who called off the remaining dates. The head of the Pakistan Association of Australia, Abbas Rana, said he was shocked by the video. Mustafai, who has a strong following online, is the founder of Idara-tul-Mustafa Pakistan, which calls itself a spiritual movement. He has been a cleric at the Markazi Jamia Masjid Gulzar-e-Madinah in Gujranwala, Pakistan. |
