Jersey City, N.J. – the Islamic Center of Jersey
City featured a Friday khutbah (sermon) given by Imam Aymen Elkasaby. In it, he
rages at Israel for its control over Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, calling
the Jews “apes and pigs” and “the most cowardly of nations [and
the] weakest of all peoples,” and says that fighting to regain control of
the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a religious obligation for all Muslims.
Elkasaby closes his sermon with the following charming
prayer: “Allah, make us among your armies…. Allah, we ask you to grant
us martyrdom on the threshold of Al-Aqsa Mosque…. Count them one by one, and
kill them down to the very last one. Do not leave a single one on the face of
the Earth.”
Update
NJ.com reports the Islamic Center of Jersey City recently
announced it had suspended Aymen Elkasaby. According to the Middle East Media
Research Institute, Elkasaby said, “So long as the Al Aqsa Mosque remains
prisoner in the hands of the Jews, this nation will remain humiliated.” MEMRI
says the imam called for the destruction of “plundering oppressors.”
