On Wednesday, a petition was launched by Shireen Qudosi, the Director of Muslim Matters at America Matters, calling for the Islamic Center of Davis, California, to immediately fire Imam Ammar Shahin, the imam who had delivered a hateful anti-Semitic sermon on July 21 in which he said, “the last hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews … O Allah, liberate the Al-Aqsa mosque from the filth of the Jews.”
The petition also called for the Islamic Center to publicly apologize for its “shameless prostitution of faith to attack the Jewish community, the gross abuse of power and manipulation of innocent worshippers attending the Friday sermon, and for further alienating and endangering American Muslims who will suffer backlash and suspicion for the Imam’s sermon.
