Cleric says: Muslims can have neither Christian or Jewish friends.
Cleric at Sydney Islamic centre broadcasts sermon on teachings about 'killing Jews' and supports fellow preacher who called for a jihad
Police are investigating a radical Islamic figure who cited scripture about 'killing Jews' and said Muslims can have neither Christian or Jewish friends.
Abu Ousayd, who the Al Madina Dawah Centre in western
Sydney said was a 'Ustadh' (teacher), also defended a visiting speaker who appeared to call for jihad (holy struggle or war) saying there was 'nothing to condemn'.
In his new lecture at the Bankstown centre Mr Ousayd employed traditional anti-Semetic stereotypes to label Jews 'a very mischievous people' who use their economic and media power to 'oppress the weak' and start wars for their own gain.
Citing examples drawn from Islamic texts and the Bible, he accused Jews of 'scheming' to pit Muslim against Muslim.
'Peace is bad for the Jew (they say) 'there is no business for us',' he said.
'There goes our media, there goes our Hollywood blockbuster films.
'They need the fighting and the infighting of the Muslims to continue in order to thrive in order to grow.'
He said there was no difference between Jews who did not support Israel and 'Zionists' who do.
'Even these ultra-orthodox Jews that you see today that are against Israel and hate the Zionists... when the Messiah comes they are still going to fight Muslims,' he said.
'Don't be fooled these people are still your friends.
'Towards the end of times, when the Muslims will be fighting the Jews, the trees will speak, the stones will speak and they will say 'oh Muslim, oh believer, there is a Yahud (Jew) behind me, come and kill him'.'
He said Jews were always claiming 'Muslims are making things up' and 'arrogantly' think they are 'better, they are the best'.
A radical Islamic cleric has cited scripture about 'killing Jews' and said Muslims can have neither Christian or Jewish allies at an Islamic centre where he has defended a previous sermon calling for jihad.
