Radical cleric in Sydney’s Islamic center broadcasts sermon on teachings about ‘killing Jews’ and supports fellow preacher who called for jihad

Police are investigating a radical Islamic figure who quoted texts about “killing Jews” and said Muslims cannot have Christian or Jewish friends.

Abu Ousayd, who the Al Madina Dawah Center in western Sydney said was an ‘Ustadh’ (teacher), also defended a guest speaker who appeared to call for jihad (holy struggle or war) and said there was “nothing to be condemned’.

In his new lecture at the Bankstown centre Mr. Ousayd used traditional anti-Semitic stereotypes to label Jews as “a very mischievous people” who use their economic and media power to “oppress the weak” and start wars for their own gain.

Citing examples from Islamic texts and the Bible, he accused Jews of “plotting” to turn Muslims against Muslims.

“Peace is bad for the Jew (they say) ‘there is no business for us,'” he said.

‘There goes our media, there goes our Hollywood blockbusters.

“They need the struggle and the infighting among Muslims to continue to flourish and grow.”

He said there was no difference between Jews who did not support Israel and “Zionists” who did.

“Even these ultra-Orthodox Jews that you see today, who are against Israel and hate the Zionists… when the Messiah comes, they will still be fighting against Muslims,” he said.

‘Don’t be fooled, these people are still your friends.

‘Towards the end of time, when the Muslims will fight the Jews, the trees will speak, the stones will speak and they will say: ‘O Muslim, O believer, there is a Yahud (Jew) behind me, come and kill it.’ ‘.’

He said that Jews always claimed that “Muslims make things up” and “arrogantly” think that they are “better, that they are the best.”

Mr. Ousayd accused Jews of practicing “Jewish Kabbalah magic” such as “divination and witchcraft” to gain “authority over the weak,” which they continue to do through their business interests.

‘You notice that their hands are everywhere in companies. We should boycott Coca-Cola and Nike and McDonald’s and Starbucks, and the list is long,” he said.

‘They made a loan to people in need that was impossible to pay back.

‘This continues today, where we see that the majority of banks are owned by Jews, who happily give people loans, knowing that it is almost impossible to pay it back.”

Speaking about the fighting in Gaza sparked by Hamas’ bloody invasion of Israel on October 7, Mr Ousayd said the Jews were showing ancestral “cowardice”.

“Just like the cowards they are today, hiding behind their tanks, hiding behind their big walls,” he said.

“But they can’t deal with a group of ours fighting against them.”

He said there can be no final peace between Muslims and Jews.

“Yes, we hate those who normalize relations with Israel, but again you see that even today it is they who plot and scheme against the Muslims,” he said.

‘Believers, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies; they are the allies of each other and whoever among you considers them an ally will be considered one of them.”

He argued that Muslims had previously gone to war over just one of their number being killed by Jews and that there have now been nearly 10,000 casualties in Gaza, where Israel has launched a full-scale attack.

Under NSW racial defamation laws, it is an offense to incite hatred against a group on the basis of their race.

NSW Police said they are “aware of the comments and have commenced an investigation”.

“As these investigations are ongoing, we are unable to provide any further information at this time.”

The Center denied that Ousayd’s comments could be construed as racial slurs and said they were all accurately sourced.

“What he said is no different than what is found in the history books, the Bible of the Christians, the Jews and the Talmud,” a spokesperson for the center said.

“A simple Google search will prove this. Based on what I have said, is the Jewish community breaking the laws of NSW?’

In another video posted on Wednesday, Mr Ousayd, who was named a spokesman for the Madina Dawah Centre, defended a sermon that also sparked a police investigation.

At the end of October, visiting pastor ‘Brother Ismail’ gave a sermon, also posted online.

“Whether the Australian government likes it or not, whether the ASIO likes it or not, whether they want to deport me from Australia or not. Jihad is the solution,” Brother Ismail said in the video titled “Media Response to the World’s Reality with Palestine.”

“The youth are now boiling with emotions and anger about what is happening to their brothers and sisters in Palestine.”

Mr Ousayd said Brother Ismail said nothing that was wrong.

“He said nothing that was wrong Islamically and he said nothing that was wrong under the law of the country we live in,” Mr Ousayd said.

‘There is nothing to condemn.’

He said the center gave teachers the “freedom to express their views.”

‘We don’t live in North Korea. We don’t live in Russia. Last time we checked we were living in Australia and there is still some freedom,” he said.

“So we gave them the right to say what they need to say.”

He said the center would intervene and tell a teacher if they said something “Islamic” wrong or against the law.

Meanwhile, another Islamic teacher from Western Sydney has said that none of the 1,400 Israelis, including babies and children, killed in the October 7 Hamas attack were innocent for “provoking” the Palestinians by taking their land.

In an online video, Nassim Abdi, who said in 2018 that women who did not have sex with their husbands were committing great sins before calling the comments a “slip of tongue,” says Hamas victims were “antagonizing people who have been oppressed for decades.”

“These are not innocent people on vacation,” he said.

“They accept payments to take Palestinian land, to take Muslim land.”

He argued that the people living near the Gaza border “enraged the Palestinian people, they were people who were there to cause trouble, provoke and oppress by taking over their land.”

“They were people who made the choice to go back to Israel, get citizenship there and live there, knowing that it is illegal under international law… don’t say they are innocent victims.” he said.

He also claimed that there were no videos of victims being tortured or raped as had been reported.

However, he admitted that there were videos of Palestinians stepping on dead Israelis.

“We saw that they were 100 percent into it,” he said, attributing the response to “decades and decades of anger.”

“I’m not justifying or saying it’s okay,” he clarified.

He also asked his listeners if they had seen “ugly” Israeli female victims, claiming that they had all been attractive as a psychological trick because it was easier to sympathize with attractive people.

“But when you see an attractive woman broken down, you say ‘stop the car, I’m going to help her’.”

He claimed that all the women depicted as Hamas victims looked like Victoria’s Secret underwear models.

“For what reason did they put these women there?son? To show that “we are beautiful women, we are free women,” he said.

“They put them there in their skimpy clothes. “We are just like you in the West, we enjoy the same freedoms, the same liberal understanding as you do. Help us, be with us, we are one against these savages, these beasts.”

Mr Abdi told Ny Breaking Australia that his speech was “not about the Hamas attacks on Israel, but rather about the larger Palestinian-Israeli issue of which the attacks were part.”

‘Who were the people along the Gaza border and why were they there?’ he asked

‘Generally they were military personnel or people involved in the security apparatus or those who helped them, or ‘settlers’ (settlers and thieves); those living happily on stolen Palestinian land under the cover, support and financing of the Israeli and allied governments, which the UN has repeatedly called illegal.

Those who live there are by no means naive about the consequences of their actions and the oppression and hostility caused to the innocent Palestinian people, from whom the vast majority of the world has turned away.”

He said his comments about women’s attractiveness and “skimpy” clothing were intended to highlight “the manipulative agenda and strategies of the Israeli government and allied media.”

“If over a thousand people died that day, why were only these types of ‘victims’ shown?” he said.
