Memphis Imam Yassir Fazaga Praises Slain Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar As 'Beautiful Leader' And Brave Hero, Who 'Walked The Walk' And Sacrificed Himself 'To Please Allah'; Adds: Do Not Be Dazzled By The False Speech Of Politicians Who Spread Corruption
Yassir Fazaga: "I want you to think of the politicians. They dazzle you with their speech, because they are good, they are skilled.

"In Gaza, we just saw one of the beautiful – if not the most beautiful – Gazan leaders. We have seen these people sell their own selves for the sake of their people to please Allah. May Allah have mercy on his soul, oh, Lord of the Universe. You know, this idea of living like a man and dying like a man.

"And this man has demonstrated what it means to die honorably, and that it is to live my life fighting you, and the very last action in my life was an act of rebellion. Do you know how many people nowadays look at somebody like Sinwar and they say that man is a legend. The man is a hero, the man is brave – he not only talked the talk, but walked the walk.

Our religion is telling us, don't be mesmerized, dazzled, impressed, fascinated by these [politicians'] false speech – it is nothing but speech. Because we know that the minute these people prevail, they have one thing in mind and that is to spread corruption and bring to an end progeny.

"[We have] corrupt politicians, dumb politicians sending smart bombs, and when you look at the options that we have nowadays – I cannot describe it in socially acceptable words."
