Colorado Imam Karim AbuZaid: The Jews conspired against Jesus, but Islam will make Christ the 'Caliph King'
Colorado Islamic scholar Karim AbuZaid said in a May 9, 2025 interview that many Jews would convert to Islam when the Islamic Caliphate is established in Jerusalem.
Speaking on the Deen Show, AbuZaid was promoting his book, titled Al-Mahdi, Khilafat Bayt Al-Maqdis: Prophetic Governance and the Restoration of Justice. He said that America and the West were "complicit in the genocide of innocent people" because "they know that the seed of Islam is there."
Referring to AbuZaid's book, TV host Eddie Redzovic said: "for our Christian friends and neighbors… the Caliph king – we believe that this will be Jesus."
AbuZaid concurred, saying that when Jesus came the first time, the Jews "denied him the kingship," conspired against him, and caused his "so-called 'crucifixion'," but that when he comes down again, Islam would make Christ the Caliph king.
"So we are not the enemies [of Christians]," said Redzovic.
