(World Israel News) B’nai Brith Canada contacted police to investigate an Islamic religious leader in British Columbia for his latest incitement against Jews, the organization said [in] a statement Tuesday.
Local imam Younus Kathrada in the provincial capital of Victoria posted a statement on social media that called Jews “brothers of monkeys and pigs,” praying to Allah to “tear them apart.”
“The suggestion that Jews are related to monkeys and pigs — an unclean animal in both Islam and Judaism — is a well-known anti-Semitic smear in the Muslim world,” B’nai Brith said.
Although the post in question was made in 2014, B’nai Brith said it was still online and Kathrada was the subject of a police complaint for making the same comments in 2004.
