Ammar Shahin, an imam at the Islamic Center of Davis, in California, told his congregants that the Muslim world needs to unite, see past their nationality-based labels like Palestinian and Egyptian, and “annihilate” the Jewish people. He’s not the first Islamic leader to call for the eradication of Jews, but he’s one of the strongest voices to have come out in the United States. He also called Jews “filth,” and called on Israel to give up the holiest Jewish site in Jerusalem. If this speech were reversed, and it was some clergyman from a Judeo-Christian faith calling Muslims dirty names, this story would have made major national headlines. Just imagine what the liberal mainstream media would say! But somehow an imam echoing Hitler isn’t big news…
