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.
