Police are investigating a radical Islamic figure who cited scripture about “murdering Jews” and said Muslims can have neither Christian nor Jewish friends.
Abu Ousayd, who the Al Madina Dawah Center in Sydney’s west said was an “Ustadh” (teacher), also defended a guest speaker who appeared to call for jihad (holy struggle or war), saying he there was “nothing to condemn”.
In its new conference in the center of Bankstown Mr. Ousayd used traditional anti-Semitic stereotypes to characterize Jews as “a very mischievous people” who use their economic and media power to “oppress the weak” and start wars for their own gain.
Citing examples from Islamic texts and the Bible, he accused Jews of “plotting” to pit Muslims against Muslims.

“Peace is bad for the Jews (they say) ‘it has nothing to do with us,’” he said.
“These are our media, these are our Hollywood blockbusters.
“They need Muslim fighting and infighting to continue in order to prosper and grow.”
He said there was no difference between Jews who did not support Israel and “Zionists” who did.
“Even these ultra-Orthodox Jews that you see today, who are against Israel and hate the Zionists…
when the Messiah comes, they will continue to fight Muslims,” he said.
“Make no mistake, these people are still your friends.
“Towards the end of time, when the Muslims fight the Jews, the trees will speak, the stones will speak and they will say “oh Muslim, oh believer, there is a Yahud (Jew) behind me, come and kill him. ‘.’
He said Jews always claim that “Muslims make things up” and think “arrogantly” that they are “better, they are the best.”
Protesters gather in Sydney to call for an end to bloody fighting in Gaza, where Israel has launched an all-out attack
Mr. Ousayd accused Jews of practicing “Jewish Kabbalah magic,” such as “divination and witchcraft,” to gain “authority over the weak,” which they continue to do through their business interests. .
“You see their hands are everywhere in businesses. We should boycott Coca-Cola, Nike, McDonald’s and Starbucks, and the list goes on,” he said.
“They gave people in need a loan that was impossible to repay.
‘This This continues today where we find that the majority of banks are owned by Jews who are happy to give loans to people knowing that it is almost impossible to pay them back.
Concerning the fighting in Gaza sparked by Hamas’s bloody incursion into Israel on October 7, Ousayd said Jews were showing ancestral “cowardice.”
“Like the cowards they are today, hiding behind their tanks, behind their big walls,” he said.
“But they can’t deal with a small group of us fighting them.”
He declared that there could be no definitive peace between Muslims and Jews.
“Yes, we hate those who normalize relations with Israel, but again, they are the ones who plot and plot against Muslims, even today,” he said.
“Believers, do not take Jews and Christians as allies: they are allies of each other” and whoever of you takes them as allies will be considered one of them.
He argued that Muslims had previously gone to war over just one of them being killed by Jews and that now the number of casualties was approaching 10,000 in Gaza, where Israel launched an all-out attack.
Under NSW racial vilification laws, it is an offense to incite hatred against a group because of their race.
New South Wales Police said they were “aware of the comments and have launched an investigation”.
“As these investigations are ongoing, we are unable to provide further information at this time.”
The Center denied that Mr Ousayd’s comments could be construed as racial vilification, saying they were all accurately sourced.
“What he said is no different from what we find in history books, the Christian Bible, the Jewish Bible and the Talmud,” said a spokesperson for the center.
“A simple Google search will prove it. From what I have said, are the Jewish community breaking NSW laws?
In another video posted on Wednesday, Mr. Ousayd, called a spokesperson for the Madina Dawah Center, defended a sermon that also triggered a police investigation.
In a video posted on YouTube by the Al Madina Dawah Centre, Brother Ismail (pictured) said he did not care whether his actions led to the government deporting him and called Anthony Albanese a “hypocrite”.
At the end of October, guest preacher “Brother Ismail” delivered a sermon, also posted online.
“Whether the Australian government likes it or not, whether ASIO likes it or not, whether or not they want to deport me from Australia. Jihad is the solution,” Brother Ismail said in the video titled “Media Response to World Reality with Palestine.”
“Young people are now boiling with emotion and rage at what is happening to their brothers and sisters in Palestine. »
Mr Ousayd said Brother Ismail had said nothing wrong.
“He has not said anything that is objectionable Islamically and he has not said anything that is objectionable according to the law of the country we live in,” Mr. Ousayd said.
“There is nothing to condemn.”
He said the center gives speakers the “freedom to express their opinion.”
“We don’t live in North Korea. We don’t live in Russia. Last time we checked, we live in Australia and there is still some freedom,” he said.
“So we gave them the right to say what they had to say.”
He said the center would intervene and tell a speaker if they said something “Islamically” wrong or against the law.
Meanwhile, another Islamic teacher from western Sydney said none of the 1,400 Israelis, including babies and children, who died in the October 7 Hamas attack were innocent because they had “provoked” the Palestinians by taking their land.
In an online video, Nassim Abdi, who said in 2018 that women who did not have sex with their husbands were committing major sins before calling the comments a “slip of language,” claims Hamas victims “opposed oppressed people for decades.”
“These are not innocent people on vacation,” he said.
“They accept payments to take Palestinian land, to take Muslim land.”
He claimed that people living near the Gaza border were “angering the Palestinian people, they were there to cause trouble, provoke and oppress by taking over their land.”
“These are people who made the choice to return to Israel, obtain citizenship and live there knowing that it is illegal under international law… don’t say they are innocent victims. ” he said.
He also claimed there were no videos of victims being tortured or raped as had been reported.
However, he admitted that there were videos of Palestinians stepping on dead Israelis.
“We saw them step on it 100 percent,” he said, attributing the reaction to “decades and decades of anger.”
“I am not justifying, I am not saying that everything is fine,” he clarified.
Islamic teacher Nassim Abdi said none of the Israeli citizens who died at the hands of Hamas on October 7 were innocent.
He also asked his listeners if they had seen any “ugly” Israeli female victims, claiming that they had all been attractive as a psychological ploy because it was easier to sympathize with attractive people.
“But if you see a pretty woman broken down, you say ‘stop the car, I’ll help her’.”
He claimed that all the women presented as Hamas victims looked like Victoria’s Secret underwear models.
“They put these women there for what reasonson? To show that “we are beautiful women, we are free women,” he said.
“They put them there in their skimpy clothes. “We are like you in the West, we enjoy the same freedoms, the same liberal understanding as you. Help us, be with us, we are one against these savages, these beasts.”
Mr Abdi told Daily Mail Australia his speech was “not about the Hamas attacks on Israel, but rather the broader Palestinian-Israeli issue of which the attacks were part”.
“Who were the people along the Gaza border and why were they there? He asked
“Generally speaking, these were either soldiers, or people involved in the security apparatus, or those who assisted them, or “settlers” (colonizers and thieves); those who live happily on stolen Palestinian land under the cover, support and funding of Israeli and allied governments, which the UN has repeatedly called illegal.
Those who live there are by no means naive about the consequences of their actions, and the oppression and antagonism caused to the innocent Palestinian people, on whom the vast majority of the world has turned its back.
He said his remarks about women’s attractiveness and “skimpy” clothing were intended to highlight “the manipulative agenda and strategies of the Israeli government and allied media.”
“If more than 1,000 people died that day, why were only these types of ‘victims’ shown? he said.
He said his remarks about women’s attractiveness and “skimpy” clothing were intended to highlight “the manipulative agenda and strategies of the Israeli government and allied media.”
