Police Complaint Lodged Against Imam for Quoting Muhammad

40

[the_ad id=”90513″]

An ongoing controversy in Canada shows the perils of assuming, as nearly everyone does, that mosques in the West teach peace and tolerance, and that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are moderate and loyal members of secular societies. The Dar Al-Arqam Mosque in Montreal is under fire for hosting an imam, Sheikh Muhammad bin Musa Al Nasr, who preached: “O Muslim, O servant of Allah, O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.” A police complaint has been filed.

But this is a quotation that is attributed to Muhammad. Are the Canadian police going to stop imams from quoting Muhammad? Now that the “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103 has been passed, it is unlikely that they will do anything at all: only non-Muslim foes of jihad terror can commit “hate speech.”

Story continues below advertisement

Nonetheless, the problem remains. Imams in Canada (and elsewhere) can call for murder (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5), kidnapping (Qur’an 47:4) and rape (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30), all by quoting the Qur’an and Muhammad. So is it incitement to violence or the free exercise of religion?

Imam Ziad Asali of the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects waxed indignant on CBC Montreal’s Daybreak: “I do not understand how this person was invited to come and give a sermon and spread this hatred in Montreal against any community….To use the themes of the Prophet to spread hatred is actually something that is disrespectful towards the Prophet himself.”

That all sounds great, but Asali tries to paper over the real problem by implying that the hadith is not authentic: “The hadith is one of more than 100,000 that are written in many books, some of which are considered authentic, while others are not, said Asali.”

Asali’s reply is misleading, although it’s noteworthy that he didn’t simply say straightforwardly that the hadith was inauthentic. He couldn’t say that truthfully, because it meets the standards Muslim scholars have for authenticity. There are hadiths that Muslim scholars consider inauthentic, but this one appears, with minor variations, in the two hadith collections that Muslims consider most reliable: Bukhari and Muslim. What’s more, it appears more than once in both, which is an indication that it was attested by multiple sources. This kind of attestation is what makes Islamic scholars consider hadiths authentic. Here are some of the hadiths:

“Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger said, ‘The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”’” (Bukhari 4.52.177)

“Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: I heard Allah’s Messenger saying, ‘The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, “O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!”’” (Bukhari 4.56.791)

“Abdullah b. ‘Umar reported that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: ‘The Jews will fight against you and you will gain victory over them until the stone would say: Muslim, here is a Jew behind me; kill him.’” (Muslim 6984)

“Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.” (Muslim 6985)

It’s also in Tirmidhi, yet another hadith collection, one of the six collections (along with Bukhari and Muslim and three others) that Muslims consider most reliable:

“Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘You shall fight the Jews. You will gain such control over them, that a rock will say: “O Muslim! This Jew is behind me so kill him!”’” (Tirmidhi 2236)

So what are Canadian authorities going to do when imams keep on quoting Muhammad?

This should go to court, so the liberal party of Canada can defend it and the qur’an in its anti islamophobia legislation. All Canadians should know that trudeau is a muslim with an agenda of islamic rule over Canada. If the liberals get their way, its byby beer and bacon, along with hockey and curling, replaced by pounding your head on the floor five times a day.

The apologist “some are inauthentic” is a great example of Islamic deception, kitman, tell some piece of the truth but leave out the important stuff. Meanwhile score one for our team that the Canadians interpreted it as the fat imam’s himself calling for judeocide, about time the muslupremacists were on the receiving end of bullshit.

Canada, this summer will be enjoying the same events in the streets that are happening in Europe. Police forces will be acting as the Sharia Police, punishing the Canadian Blasphemers that report hate speech perpetrated by the followers of Islam. There will be an endless supply of border jumpers moving across the Canadian border like a wave of Zombies. They will take their place on the ever ballooning welfare roles, as they continue to overwhelm the social systems. Canada will accept more and more of these undesirable, hostile new comers even though they call Canadian’s racists and insist they are victims of Canada’s intolerance. With Canada’s new Islamophobia Motion in place to protect Muslims, it will effectively make all non Muslims second class citizens. Insuring that Sharia Law will be the next step that can be expected to take place in what was a free, safe and peaceful country, that will soon be engulfed in oppression. Canada is a heart beat away from enslavement, Canada’s Muslim Prime Minister’s agenda seems clear.

Apparently the Canadian people also do not want the Mexican illegal aliens either. What a dangerous hypocrite you are, M. JustinTrudeau. The Canadian people are waking up as their attempt to do the right thing, as done in Scandinavia as well, is not working as one would have hoped. To a conqueror why would it? America had nobama and the demoncraps force these invaders into our country but we will remove them. They are not a religion so freedom of religion does not apply to them. Charity and good intentions are interpreted by mohammedans as a weakness as they do not share our Judeo-Christian heritage. Know your enemy and their war manual.

I have long wondered why the elected political figures here and there do not read, and why they are not aware of cultures, history, or other pertinent information. One would think they are not well schooled. It appears that the leaders of today have been spoon fed by left, pushing liberal nourishment.
Their world model doesn’t not make sense, it is dangerous, and it is an unabashed attempt to remove people’s identity, and their heritage.
Years ago, one enjoyed traveling to Poland, or France, to try new foods, to meet new pleasant people, enrich one’s spirit with different culture, appreciate different architecture, BUT now that has changed. We have been instructed by a variety of machinations and plots, to forget who we are and become one large glop, to be ruled by they whose intelligence is questionable.
We never had these conflicts, this violence, this dissension, till the left came in strong arming their views, and they have turned the world into a veritable Hell. So sad, and shameful.
Their view is all wrong. For they should know, and do know, that some can get along splendidly, some can get along moderately so, some cannot ever get along, but can trade and keep up civilities, some shall never get along and forevermore entertain a desire to invade, subdue, terrorize, and make war on others.

Our last Prime Minister, Harper stopped the Mexicans from coming here with a visa program, Trudeau has cancelled that and now we have this constant incoming of Mexicans. In fact, Trudeau has been systematically cancelling all the accomplishments that Steven Harper put in place. With this Liberal Dictatorship we now have it’s as if they are deliberately doing their best to dismantle our democracy, culture, economy and very way of life. He is spending us into bankruptcy, our grand children will still be paying for his extravagance, he is an out of control playboy living in his own fantasy world that will certainly lead to our destruction soon. We have had a lot of Left Wing Liberal Governments that have always left us in debt, damaged our social systems, restricted our rights, made government bigger and more invasive, caused job loss, economic uncertainty, and denied this country many of the things we should have. It’s as if we are in a large boat in the middle of the ocean fighting a raging storm and Trudeau and his entourage of traitors are running around drilling holes in the bottom of our boat. They have surrendered our nation to the invaders that continue to come and will bleed us dry. We are soon to be an oppressed nation and as I have stated many times, Europe’s current reality is our future. With this Traitor as our leader, we have to hold out hope for an election in 2019 that will get him out of office. Because there is not going to be much of Canada left that we will recognize by that time and if he gets a second term we are over.

Add sodomy, mysogeny, rape of women and children of both sexes, Sharia “eye for an eye” law, torture, murder, the list is endless. As I have posted before – mohammedanism is not a religion. We do not need to change our Holy Scriptures to defeat these infidel barbarians as self preservation and survival are not only permitted but are a commandment. “Turn the other cheek” has been misread, what I believe it means is to ignore slights and non-dangerous behavior. A slap on the cheek is not that provocative to be killed by the ancient Romans for. We are at war and the survival of our culture, countries,religions and way of life and life itself are at stake here. So let loose the hounds of war.

God said “thou shalt not kill EXCEPT IN DEFENSE”. We are at war and we need to defend ourselves. God also said “Sell your garments and buy a sword (or gun cause guns didn’t exist in those times). Wish Canadians had legal authority to have guns. We need them now.

North America, infact the entire world, needs a new bible. This bible should be a replica, but mirror image of the koran. Whereas the koran says that all muslims should kill all non muslims, the new bible would say: all non muslims must …. . And where the koran says that all muslims must lie to all non muslims, turn that around to be: all non muslims must lie to muslims. We can beat this horse they call islam.

Please do not replace our Holy Scriptures. It’s not necessary to rid ourselves of these infidels who use a war manual as a holy book. Self preservation is not forbidden to Christians and Jews.

My suggestion was NOT TO REPLACE any existing bible, but bring about a new one so people will fight for themselves. You don’t see them doing that do you. Anywhere? Cindy you said self preservation … . You are right. But the only people I can see that are willing to preserve themselves are Americans. Because they have guns. If it weren’t for the fact they have guns they would have been taken over a long time ago by NWO and muzlims. Canadians do not have guns. Neither do Germans, Swedes, Italians. You get the picture. So what is it that can move them to preserve themselves – a new bible. Which can be put on the back burner in time.

Islam is not a religion – duh. At best it is an incorrect plagiarism of Jewish and Christian theology and Holy Books. No religion calls for all the horrible things that their book calls for. Mohammedanism is a political cult to conquer the world and convert or kill all “non-believers” although I am unsure what they really believe as they are permitted to use lies and deception to further their conquest. Therefore, in America and other civilized countries there should not be any freedom of religion for them.

The proper thing to do would be to confront this situation and put a stop to hate speech and speech about killing non Muslims, through the courts and by legal methods. Are refugees or migrants to that country vetted?
If Christians spewed hateful speech about anyone with different sexual view or other beliefs, they would be arrested and tried posthaste. We all know why.
Many various cultures use God and religion to subdue people, their thoughts and actions. God put the right way in us, so that instinctively, all decent people understand that kindness, mercy, gentle admonishment, and love for one another is the true way, and the way that pleases God.
Canada remains silent in view of these hate crimes, hate speech. One has to wonder why.

To use the themes of the Prophet to spread hatred is actually something that is disrespectful towards the Prophet himself.”
Taqiyya or tawriya? Is “using the themes” disrespectful or “spreading hatred’ disrespectful, or is it that this sharia jihadist terrorist imam was recorded spreading hatred and violence?

With Butts, Alghabra and Khalid running the Liberals and making Jihad Justin dance to their commands, we have to monitor and analyze every single syllable, every word that Muslims say. What they say is rarely what they mean.

As you note, taqiyya is one of the methods for jihad. Lie, lie, and lie. Deceive, twist, dodge, mis-direct, refuse to answer. ‘Disrespectful toward the prophet?’ … lolol … right! You mean killing as he instructed … is disrespectful to him? Then … killing apostates must be disrespecting the prophet … beating women must be disrespecting the old fella … OR … it’s just what THE PROPHET HIMSELF ordered until every last one of the infidels is dead. I be thinking they are just doing the Koranic Krazed Killing per their un-sacred book!
