55:56Now PlayingIn a disturbing trend, three Canadian imams have recently delivered inflammatory sermons promoting antisemitism and jihad. Imam Riad Ourzazi, Sheikh Younus Kathrada, and Imam Adnan Abyat used their Friday sermons to denigrate Jews and encourage militant Islamic ideologies. Ourzazi claimed that Jews "killed the majority of its prophets" and asked rhetorically, "What do you expect from such a nation?" regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Particularly alarming was Abyat's call for Muslims to "raise their families and their nations on the 'idea of Jihad,'" while also referring to Jews with derogatory language. Kathrada's sermon portrayed Jews as "enemies of Allah" and criticized Muslims who emulate them, stating, "Today, we want to be like them. They are the enemies of Allah, like it or not." These sermons, delivered in mosques across Canada and live-streamed on various platforms, highlight growing concerns about the spread of extremist ideologies within religious institutions. The imams' rhetoric, which ranges from historical revisionism to outright calls for action against perceived enemies, underscores the ongoing challenge of combating hate speech and radicalization in religious contexts, particularly as tensions in the Middle East continue to influence discourse in diaspora communities.
