NJ imam to be ‘retrained’ after hoping, in sermon, that all Jews die
2017-12-16
[IsraelTimes] Sheikh Aymen Elkasaby will meet with interfaith leaders after blaming Jews for Sinai mosque terror attack that killed over 300

A New Jersey imam will reportedly be sent for "retraining" after expressing hope in a sermon last week that all Jews would be killed and previously blaming a deadly Sinai terror attack on Jews.

Last week, Sheikh Aymen Elkasaby gave sermons at the Islamic Center of Jersey City in which he called for "Allah to wreak vengeance" on the "Jewish oppressors" of the Temple Mount and to "kill them down to the very last one," according to translations provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

That sermon came days after US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
defied warnings from the world and recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

In another sermon in November, Elkasaby also said the notion that the terror attack at the al-Rawda Mosque in the Sinai Peninsula that killed over 300 worshippers was carried out by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
was "ridiculous."

The imam said the massacre "could only have been done by the enemies of Islam ‐ the Jews and their subordinates from among the Moslem rulers," according to MEMRI translations.

The November 24 attack is thought to have been carried out by the jihadist Islamic State or its affiliates, who have carried out a series of terrorist attacks in the Sinai, in part because the mosque is associated with followers of the mystical Sufi branch of Sunni Islam, and IS targets any who do not follow its version of Islam.

Islamic Center of Jersey City president Ahmed Shedeed announced that Elkasaby would be sitting down with "interfaith scholars" who would "consult with and retrain him," according to a Thursday statement.

"This is like sending someone to rehab," he told the Algemeiner Jewish newspaper. "The scholars will help him to learn to deal with these issues."

For his part, Shedeed has been recognized nationally for his interfaith work. He was New Jersey Senator Cory Booker’s honored guest at former US president Barack Obama

Last month, Shedeed’s Islamic Center also hosted a gathering of religious leaders from the Baha’i, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Moslem, and Sikh communities.

Shedeed said he had not been present at either of the sermons and had only been made aware of last week’s address days later, when a rabbi friend sent him an email expressing concern, Algemeiner reported.
