UK's Islamic PEACE TV in Trouble for Calling Jews a "Cursed Race"
Islamic PEACE TV in the UK is as peaceful as its Religion of Peace. So it has some issues with Jews. A few mild, peaceful issues.
An Islamic TV channel has been warned by the broadcasting standards regulator Ofcom that it faces sanctions after showing antisemitic lectures by a preacher who called Jews a “cursed race”.
“In our view the terms used to describe Jewish people such as ‘like a cancer’, ‘evil genius,’ ‘their poison,’ ‘cursed people’, ‘cursed race’ were particularly strong and inflammatory,” the watchdog stated.
But don't get them wrong, it's just a 'view'.
Dr Ahmad – who died in 2010 – said Jews were bent on a vendetta and enmity for the Prophet Muhammad. “They do not take advantage of the opportunity to repent, which is why they are afflicted by great calamities, and the example is what happened to them at the hands of the Germans.”
Israr Ahmed also stopped by to tell the peaceloving Muslims at the Islamic Society of North America the good news...
The annual convention of the ISNA held at Columbus, Ohio, in September 1995, was addressed, among others, by Hamza Yusuf, an American citizen of Greek origin, who, after embracing Islam, had lived for six years in Mauritania to study Islam and then work as a TJ preacher; Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, the famous pop singer, who embraced Islam after coming into contact with the TJ in Pakistan; Saghir of Algeria and Israr Ahmed, the amir of the Tanzeem Islami of Pakistan and a worker of the TJ.
Addressing the convention, Israr Ahmed said, "The process of the revival of Islam in different parts of the world is real. A final showdown between the Muslim world and the non-Muslim world, which has been captured by the Jews, would soon take place. The Gulf War was just a rehearsal for the coming conflict." He appealed to the Muslims of the world, including those in the US, to prepare themselves for the coming conflict.
The convention was told that the ISNA had a US$100 million budget for spreading Islamic education in the US through the publication of text books, setting up of weekend Islamic schools and a weekly cable TV programme called "Onsight", which would be available in all the states of the US.
Don't worry. They're all peaceful moderates.
