Houston imam walks back sermon calling for Muslims to kill Jews
2017-12-29
Taqqiya. I do hope someone is keeping an eye on the membership.
[IsraelTimes] A Houston imam walks back a sermon in which he called for Moslems to kill Jews, without specifically apologizing for his comments.

Imam Raed Saleh al-Rousan of Houston’s Tajweed Institute earlier this month delivered what he called an "impassioned sermon," according to a statement about the speech.

"I unequivocally affirm and uphold the dignity, sanctity and value of all human life, including ‐ of course ‐ people of the Jewish faith," al-Rousan says in the statement. "I must also state in no uncertain terms that I am absolutely and completely opposed to and disgusted by all forms of terrorism, all terrorists, and I oppose anyone who would commit, call for, or threaten violence against civilians. This is why as a person of faith and a religious leader, that I am mortified that an impassioned sermon I gave in light of President Trump’s Jerusalem declaration is being seen as a call for the very things I despise."

Al-Rousan had delivered his inflammatory speech on December 8, two days after 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...
announced the United States’ recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

"Judgment Day will not come until the Moslems fight the Jews. The Moslems will kill the Jews," al-Rousan said.

The imam also asserted in his speech that Jews "killed the Prophets and the Messengers of Allah." He accused Britannia of bringing Jews to Paleostine, adding "So do not tell me that Paleostine is the country of the Jewish people. No!"

#13  He only repeated what Mo and the Coor-an say about killing Jews. Nothing attracts attention like truth when it manages to leak out.

#9  ... without specifically apologizing for his comments.

"I'm sorry if you infidels were offended."

#8  Notice his statement doesn't include an admission he was wrong or an apology -- instead it says he's sorry his words "are understood" to be a call for violence. Also the favorite Muslim weasel word "civilian".

And, guys, Tolkien's orcs didn't have the free will to choose not to serve evil.

#7  What I, and probably others, worry about newc is a rule by men who say G*d is speaking through them.

#6  "One day people will understand that there's no difference between Islam or Nazism/Communism."

One day, they may learn that it is better to be under rule of GOD than rule of man, and then they will abandon it entirely.

Or not...

#2  so Iman Saleh would like to dialogue with local Jewish leaders

sadly, I'm sure he'll find plenty of useful idiots who will hold his hand and smile with him as he pretends that his sermon didn't mean what it obviously did mean
