Sheik Mohamed Elimam calls Zionism ‘unadulterated evil,’ berates Arab world for abandoning Gaza

An American Muslim preacher has been calling for jihad against Israel, amid the Jewish state’s war with Hamas in Gaza, in his weekly Friday sermons at a Chicago mosque.

In a video clip released on Thursday, Sheik Mohamed Elimam can be seen declaring that “global Zionism is unadulterated evil besetting all people.” The video, published by the Middle East Media Research Institute, features Elimam decrying the evils of Zionism and calling on his congregation to join the fight in Palestine.

“Oh, those of you who want to wage jihad for the sake of Allah, Palestine is calling you and Gaza is crying out for your help,” Elimam said, according to MEMRI’s translation. “If you are true believers, real mujahideen, hasten to Palestine.” In comments made during two sermons, on July 18 and July 25 at the Chicago Islamic Center, Elimam appeared to call for the removal of the Jewish state from the Middle East.

“This enemy was planted in the midst of the Arab nation, and they chose Jerusalem, Palestine, the most important area – in order to be a thorn in the side of the Arab and Islamic nations,” he said. “May Allah pull this thorn out, and stick it down their [Western] throats. May they be sent back to their countries in shame and disgrace, Allah willing.”…..
