Michigan Imam: People Who Support Jewish State Of Israel Are ‘Savages,’ ‘Barbaric’

An Imam speaking in Dearborn, Michigan, this month claimed that Zionists, people who support the Jewish state of Israel, are “savages” and are “barbaric.”

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translated the speech from Dr. Baqir Berry that was broadcast by the Islamic Institute of Knowledge.

“Zionism is the ISIS of today,” he claimed. “As there was an ISIS for the Muslims, there is also an ISIS for the Jews. The [Jewish] ISIS is a million times worse than the ISIS of the Muslims. We should know this. A million times [worse]. The members of ISIS did not commit the kind of crimes perpetrated by the Zionists.”

“Just wait a bit for the war to subside, and you will hear again the voices of all the idiots and fools in our world,” he continued. “What peace do you want to have with those [Israelis]? Us in America – what peace? Those Zionists everywhere, even here in America, are savages. They are barbaric everywhere. They feel no pangs of conscience over what is happening there. There is a group of Jews rebelled against this, but Zionist jews are criminals.”

The clip concluded with Berry saying: “This is the great and imminent danger that [threatens] all of humanity. Israel is a great imminent danger. Just like Nazism posed an imminent danger to all the surrounding countries, and just like the ISIS caliphate posed a great danger, everybody wanted to end the existence of the ISIS entity and the Nazi entity – you cannot remove this great [Israeli] danger unless you remove [the entity]. If you want a real democratic country, you need to reeducate the Jews … the Zionists, with a new culture of being open, seeing others as human beings, a culture of real peace and tolerance, rather than racism.”
