Canada: Imam praises 10-year-olds in Gaza who want to be ‘martyrs,’ prays ‘O Allah, destroy ...

When Younus Kathrada prays “O Allah, destroy the Jews,” he isn’t just hoping for divine punishment to come upon them. It is a call to Muslims to do violence to Jews, for the Qur’an tells Muslims that they are the executors of the wrath of Allah: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers, and he will remove the anger of their hearts.” (Qur’an 9:14-15).

“Canadian Islamic Scholar Younus Kathrada Praises 10 Year Old Gazan Boys Who Say They Want To Become Martyrs, Girls Who Say They Want To Give Birth To Martyrs; Adds: Oh Allah, Destroy The Jews, Shatter Their Unity, Disperse Their Gathering, Bring Down Upon Them Your Punishment,” MEMRI, April 18, 2025:

 “Kids, some of them 10 years old… I’m sure that you’ve heard some of those clips [from Gaza], where a child says: ‘I live to be a martyr.’ In other words, I live to die… Yes! ‘I live to fight for the sake of Allah. I live to defend Islam and the Muslims. I live to defend the Al-Aqsa Mosque.’ Yes, there are a lot of examples of them.

“And you know something? It’s not just the young boys. It’s the young girls as well. Some of those little girls are braver than every single one of us put together. One little girl is braver than all of us. Did you not hear that little girl say: ‘I want to grow up, and I want to get married, and I want to give birth to and raise martyrs.’ Yes, by Allah. What kind of bravery is that?

“What are we doing for the Islamic nation? What are we doing for Islam and the Muslims? Those young kids – they are literally putting their lives on the line. They will be killed, many of them. Why? Only because they say: ‘There is no god but Allah. We are Muslims, we want to live by Islam, we will protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque.’ This is why they are being killed.

[TBC: As Dave Hunt pointed out, Islam's earnest goal, set forth in the Koran (references given herein are from three versions) and hadith (Islamic written tradition), remains the same: to bring all mankind into submission (that's what "Islam" means) and to kill or enslave all "infidels"(i.e., unbelievers in Allah and Muhammad his prophet—Surah 2:190-92;4:76;5:33;9:5,29,41;47:4, etc.). Islam (in obedience to the Koran and Muhammad's example) is the driving force behind most terrorism today. Muhammad declared, "The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them."]
