More Hizb ut-Tahrir hate
ISLAMIST group Hizb ut-Tahrir has again been condemned after a new video emerged last week filled with more anti-Semitic hate.
ISLAMIST group Hizb ut-Tahrir has again been condemned after a new video emerged last week filled with more anti-Semitic hate.
In the video, which was posted to the group’s internet video channel on March 3, Hizb ut-Tahrir spiritual leader Ismail al-Wahwah called Jews “the most evil creature of Allah”.
“Moral corruption is linked to the Jews. Prostitution in the world began with the Israelites. Usury and gambling began with the Israelites. Killing began with the Israelites,” he said.
“If the Jews were given the whole world, they would want the heavens. That is the nature of the Jews. It is a delusion to think that there can be peace and coexistence with the Israelites, with the Jews.”
He continued: “There is only one solution for this cancerous tumour: It must be uprooted and thrown back to where it came from. They have corrupted the world with their corrupt media. The Israelites have corrupted the world with so-called art, cinema and corrupt films, and with sex trade, drug trade and moral depravity. They have corrupted the world in every respect.
“They will pay with blood for blood, with tears for tears, and with destruction for destruction.”
NSW Jewish Board of Deputies (JBOD) chief executive Vic Alhadeff commented: “This has nothing to do with Israel and is in the same vein of Islamic extremism and incitement to violence that IS peddles.
“It is another wake-up call for the authorities to act before these hate-preachers inspire the next Man Monis.”
Earlier this week JBOD president Jeremy Spinak wrote to the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board (ADB) requesting that action be taken on another Hizb ut-Tahrir video, filmed in August 2014, in which al-Wahwah called Jews a “hidden evil”.
NSW Minister for Citizenship and Communities Victor Dominello called the new video “deeply disturbing”.
“The freedom of speech that we enjoy in Australia is precious and we cannot allow it to be abused in this way,” he said.
“Hateful and derisive speech has no place in our harmonious multicultural society.”
Dominello welcomed JBOD’s decision to refer the earlier video to the ADB for investigation pursuant to the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW).
“I have today written to the Anti-Discrimination Board to bring this most recent video to its attention and asked that it be considered concurrently and expeditiously,” he said.
