"Many prominent Muslim clerics hold the view that mosques are more than just places of worship, and that using them for military purposes as part of jihad is legitimate." - March 1, 2009, Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Israel Intelligence Heritage & Commemoration Center
Readers of NEWSRAEL will know that many of the important MEMRI videos we have posted show Imam or other clerics in the West with message of war, conquest, hatred of the "Infidels" and promise of taking over the Western countries they live in. These "sermons" usually end in Arabic prayers calling for the annihilation of Jews, Christians and anyone who doesn't accept Islam.
These clerics will tell you in one paragraph that the Jews are trying to take over the world (BAD), and then tell their "flock" that Allah promised that Islam would rule the world (GREAT).
To the local people who pass by a mosque - they see a place for prayer, just like their church or synagogue.
We all need to WAKE UP.
Muhammad used his first mosque as a headquarters to plan war. Later on, as prayer became more pronounced in Islam, they added that to the activities of the mosque.
Today, the German police raided all of the Islamic centers run by Iran and closed the Hamburg Islamic Center which the government said: "promotes radical and totalitarian Islamist ideology in Germany".
Also today - THREE Memri videos were published from 3 different mosques in Canada that their "Friday Sermons" (sounds spiritual, doesn't it?) were messages of Islamic Supremacy and open Jihad. Just today.
Like MEMRI - It is one of our "jobs" here at NEWSRAEL to report. It is up to YOU to follow up in your country, state and city, to alert your police, you representatives in government of this threat.
We must act on this information and promote the awareness of this incitement to Jihad in our very midst.
