An imam at Masjid Bilal, a mosque in the northern Houston community where New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar lived, accused Jews of using usury to exploit and take control of the economy wherever they went, according to video footage published by the Middle East Media Research Institute on X/Twitter on Thursday.
Masjid Bilal is one of 20 Islamic Centers run by The Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH), according to The Daily Mail.
“Imagine, in Europe, what was happening to the Banu Israil [Jews] there? As we said, [Jews were] killed, destroyed, persecuted. Now, the question is, why?” Imam Eiad Soudan asked in footage published by MEMRI. “Why does the whole world want them to stay in Palestine?”
Soudan answers the question, claiming that Jews have sought to take control of the economy of whichever country in which they have ended up.
“[Jews] have many problems, but that’s one of the main problems — they like to take control of the economy. Everywhere they go... as long as they get to the goal, the means don’t matter. Interest, usury, is haram [prohibited] for them. Still, they use it to get control of the economy,” Soudan said.

“That is why the other countries don’t want them back. So when they support them, they are not supporting them because they love them. It’s like: ‘Please stay there, we’ll do whatever you want, stay there, don’t come back.'”
