Danish Imam Called for 'War Against Jews' on Eve of Attack

In his sermon, the imam claimed calls for interfaith dialogue are actually a guise to draw Muslims away from their “true religion.”

Rejecting a conciliatory approach toward other religions, the imam recalled Muslim prophet Muhammad, who waged war against his Jewish neighbors rather than engage in dialogue with them.

“Did he call for closer relations, harmony, and dialogue with them, in the manner of the UN and of those who call to reconciliation Truth and Falsehood? Or did he call upon them to worship Allah? When they violated their pledge and did not accept this call – well, you know what he did to them… He waged war against the Jews,” he said.

Also taking aim at the United Nations, Saeed told worshipers the organization was established in order to “fight Islam, to destroy the State of Islam, and to draw the Muslims away from their religion.”

“Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.”

I'm sure it had nothing to do with the attacks. He did this the day before, did he? Hmm. Well that doesn't matter.

That guy ought to be picked up by law enforcement. I'm sure the Danes have a law that would cover inciting violence. Same goes for any others doing the same thing, and for other countries too. We should all be picking up these weirdos.

(And yes, if the same thing were done by a Christian here, they should get busted too.)

I have said this before. and truly believe that the over whelming majority of terrorism is caused by the saudi gov. Now they might not truely intent for groups like ISIS to spring up. But they truly believe in a wahabi version of islam. To achieve this. Many mosques around the world and many in western countries are funded and staffed by people who hold extremists ideology. There first go to is anti-semitism. There 2nd go to is wars that cause muslim civilian casualties. So when that idiot bush invaded iraq. Thats all these jihadi idiots needed to inflame the fire.

Now that being said. Things like the iraq war do instigate these extremists. But eventually there goal is world domination. Irrelevant of what we do ie Iraq war. These wahhabi extremists do want a caliphate in the middle east. Thats why isis is so popular. Al quida talked the talk and certainly attacked western targets... But it was ISIS who set up this caliphate that many muslims dream about. Now do all the muslims who want a caliphate want to behead christians? certainly not. The problem is there leaders who are extremists will get them into wars. And once the bullets start flying then people will take sides.

One thing i will say especially since my boyfriend is jewish (im middle eastern) is that i do worry about the anti-semitism that is coming from the muslim communities in Europe. When you pair that with the neo nazis groups who already hate jews it makes it hard for people. Me and my boyfriend who hope to get married one day would like to visit paris for our honeymoon and i havent brought up to him but it does scare that we could be singled out. Luckily hes not religious so he doesn't wear anything that would scream "jewish" but its the 2015 this is not something that we should even be worried about.

These kinds of assholes don't help the problem by giving hatred legitimacy. They give a bad name to moderate Islam and worshippers who just want to go about their lives in peace. "War against the Jews"? Does he remember the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during World War II who organized two Islamic Nazi SS Divisions for a so-called war against the Jews and who were responsible (at least the Handschar Waffen SS Division) for the deportation and deaths of thousands of Jews and Gypsies? If I were Imam Hajj Saeed I would be sobered by what went on in the past and in recent events and keep a very low profile, especially towards the Jews and the actions of previous Moslem clerics like the Grand Mufti. With these kinds of shocking images out there, if I were an Imam I would never utter another word against Jews again. His hate baiting isn't helping anything and is giving moderate mainstream Moslems a bad name.

I'm not fully clear who exactly are the moderates.

Are there any groups or religious sects that are moderates?
