On February 14, the imam of the Al-Hedayah Mosque in Santa Ana, California, Iyad Hilal, gave a sermon in which he said that the Jews of Israel should go back to where they came from (Europe). He is described in the linked Memri TV article (with video clip) as an Islamic scholar. Perhaps, but not a scholar when it comes to history.
If he knew anything about history, he would know that Jews are from the land of Israel. Even the Koran tells you that. As for the Jewish diaspora, they were not only in Europe but lived for centuries in Arab lands until 1948 when they were driven out- some half a million of them.
I'm not sure where this imam comes from other than he studied in Saudi Arabia. Judging from his accent, he is not American-born. If he wants to come to our country and spread his Jew hatred here, my feeling is that he should go back to whatever country he came from.
Yes, I said it!
