Good thing that cities are amending their noise ordinances to allow for the use of these mosque loudspeakers, eh?
“In a statement released on Sunday, the Islamic Shia Ithna Asheri Jamaat (ISIJ) of Toronto, a charitable organization that operates the Jaffari Center, stated that the man broadcast his prayer from their property without their authorization. However, they offered no direct comment regarding the substance of his remarks.”
All right. That’s fine. But what safeguards has the mosque put in place to ensure that there will be no more unauthorized uses of their loudspeaker? And what do they think about his remarks, which echo similar statements by Islamic supremacists everywhere?
“Jewish group calls on Toronto mosque to denounce anti-Semitic ‘prayers,’” JNS, May 19, 2020:
(May 19, 2020 / JNS) Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) on Tuesday called on a Toronto-area mosque to publicly denounce anti-Semitic remarks broadcasted on its property over the weekend.
A man using a loudspeaker at the Jaffari Center, a Shia mosque in Thornhill, recited the Islamic call to prayer and instructed followers to boycott “all the Zionist businesses,” claiming that it is “illegal” and “forbidden” for Muslims to do business with “Zionists.”
He also said the mosque and its followers stood with him against the “illegitimate Zionist regime,” the “betrayal of the holy land” and “whatever kind of evil things they [the Jews/Zionists] do.”
The eight-minute video shared on social media is called “Jaffari center Athan/Nakba 72 catastrophe anniversary. Praying for corona vaccine & free Palestine.”
