In a Friday sermon at United Muslim Masjid in Philadelphia, which was streamed live on the mosque's YouTube channel, Imam Hanif Fouse said that Muslims must recognize the evil and hate it and "its people."
He explained that this is the reason that Muslims ask Allah 17 times a day, in the Al-Fatiha verse of the Quran to keep them away from the path of those "who have incurred Your wrath," the Jews. Fouse said that it is "not a surprise" that Allah is angry with the Jews.
He explained that the Jews changed the Torah and killed the prophets, and he asked: "These are people who killed prophets so the lives of children and women don't mean anything." Fouse continued to say that the Christians, "who are complicit with them" insult Allah.
Imam Hanif Fouse: "So it is not just the Jews who are hurting our brothers and sisters in Gaza, it is the American people and every people who are pleased with that action, and don't do anything to stop it, they are all complicit in it.
They will all be punished by Allah if they don't repent. Our action in that is what? It is seeing the evil and hating the evil and its people. Let's qualify that. What does it mean to hate the evil and to hate the people?
