In a helpful peace-loving gesture, a Vancouver Muslim leader espouses jihad, and calls Jews ‘monkeys and swine’.
By way of friendly reminder, Vancouver is in Canada, not Syria or Lebanon or Israel or the Gaza Strip.
VANCOUVER (CP) – The leader of a Vancouver mosque attended regularly by a local man reported killed in Chechnya … has preached the virtues of jihad and called Jews “the brothers of monkeys and swine.”
In a lecture posted on the mosque’s website, Sheik Younus Kathrada tells an audience all real Muslims want to be martyred. “It is inconceivable that a true believer will not desire martyrdom,” Kathrada says.
(…)
In a recording of another lecture obtained by The Canadian Press, Kathrada lashes out at Israelis for killing Hamas founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin late last March.“We know what happened over the last week and how the brothers of the monkeys and the swine assassinated and murdered one of the heroes of Islam, the Salah al-Din of this day and age, Ahmed Yassin.”
Kathrada tells his audience the Qur’an and its accompanying writings view Jews as treacherous people with whom Muslims will engage in an apocalyptic battle.
“The prophet . . . said the final hour will not be established until such time as the Muslims will battle and will fight against the Jews,” Kathrada says.
(…)
Kathrada, who works out of the Dar al-Madinah Islamic Society mosque in east Vancouver, said Thursday he could not remember when he gave these talks.
“If it’s on there and my name is on it then I must have. I don’t recall the date,” he said.
Kathrada refused to explain the meaning behind the tirade against Jews.
“I guess if you heard the lecture then it should be clear to you,” he said.
But he defended his characterization of Jews as treacherous monkeys and pigs.

Russian authorities identified Khalil as one of four men killed in a skirmish with Chechen rebels earlier this month. They displayed his Canadian passport and B.C. driver’s licence and claimed he was an explosives expert.
His family in Vancouver said they believed Khalil and his friend Kamal Elbahja of suburban Maple Ridge, B.C., were headed to a wedding in neighbouring Baku, Azarbaijan.
Elbahja has disappeared and the bridegroom, former Vancouver resident Azar Tagiev, has also not been seen.

In his lecture on jihad, Kathrada says the term refers to physical fighting and includes the idea of offensive jihad.
“When the Muslims have a leader, when the Muslims have the strength and the ability to take on an enemy, then absolutely they call the other nations towards Islam,” he says.
“Should they reject the message then they will declare war upon them. That is what we know as the offensive jihad.
“There is a good reason for that. It is in order to establish security on this Earth. It is so that the word of Allah will be the superior word.”
