Victoria Muslim preacher Younus Kathrada said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opposes Islam and Muslims because he supports Israel. .“Shame on those ‘Muslims’ who voted for, supported him and were only too happy to have photo ops with him,” said Kathrada in a Facebook post..“Some sell-out imams were front and centre too.”.Kathrada followed up by saying if true Muslims support allowing Palestinians to live like human beings and regain ownership of their homes and places of worship, Islam’s opponents and enemies will accuse them of being terrorists. .“No, we know what and whom we support, you have no right to tell us what we believe and support,” he said..“As for those falsely accusing us, well they have very openly and clearly articulated their support for a terrorist, illegal, occupying, settler, murdering, apartheid state.”.He said Israel “continues to commit genocide against and oppress and dehumanize an entire nation.”.For Muslims to succeed, Kathrada said they should focus more on the Quran. .“For far too long, we have ignored the Word of Allah and chosen to turn away from His warnings,” he said. .“We have wilfully taken the wrong people as allies and listened to traitors who misrepresented and misinterpreted the Word of Allah.” .In response, he said it is “high time that we now go back to the Quran and rely on the classical exegesis (tafsir), not the commentaries of the modernist sell-outs.”.B’nai Brith Canada called on the Victoria Police Department to take action against Kathrada for giving antisemitic sermons to his followers in 2022. .READ MORE: B’nai Brith asks for Victoria Muslim orator to be charged .“It is important this extremist hatemonger is being vigorously investigated after this latest hate incident,” said B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn. .“It’s appalling such noxious hate speech against Jews is allowed to continue in Canada, and we hope Kathrada will now face criminal charges.”.Kathrada hung up when the Western Standard contacted him by phone.
