Florida – The Ahlul-Bayt Islamic Society invited Sheikh Jaffer Ladak to speak on Islam and Anthropology in which he compared Israelis to Neanderthals while the predominately Muslim audience laughed out loud.
Ladak was well aware how offensive his comments were to Israelis and Jews because he followed his statement by articulating why he did not want his comments recorded. There were more than 60 people in attendance and not one member of the UCF Ahlul-Bayt Society, or their advisors objected.
