Canadian imam Sheikh Younus Kathrada said in an August 2, 2024 Friday sermon at Muslim Youth Victoria Islamic Center that the Jews have an ancient hostility, deep-rooted hatred, and eternal enmity towards the Muslims. He said that the Jews spread corruption through the land, that they murdered Allah's prophets, that they bomb buildings under the cover of darkness, that they kill men, women, and children, and that "not even fetuses in the womb are safe from them." He added: "If Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them Himself. But he ordered armed struggle." The sermon was uploaded to Muslim Youth Victoria on YouTube.
Sheikh Younus Kathrada: "The enmity of the Jews towards Islam and its people – in other words Muslims – is not new. It is not a recent phenomenon. Rather, it's an ancient hostility and deep-rooted hatred.
[...]
"The Quran has clearly shown the true nature of the Jews, and it has described them in great detail. They are a small group who spread corruption through the land.
[...]
"This enmity that the Jews have towards Islam and Muslims will never come to an end. Never.
[...]
"The Jews have an ancient and dark history of bloodshed and breaking covenants and treaties. After all, they are the killers – the murderers – of prophets and the righteous.
[...]
"They bomb buildings under the cover of darkness, and they kill men, women, and children. Not even fetuses in the womb are safe from them.
[...]
"Never be afraid to describe the Jews – the real enemy – the way Allah has described them.
[...]
"If Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them Himself, But He ordered armed struggle. Listen! He ordered armed struggle to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah, never will He – that is, Allah – waste their deeds."
