Australian preacher urges followers to arm themselves against Jews and Christians
A preacher identified as Brother Abu Ahmad urged followers in a sermon posted by Melbourne’s Al Bayyinah Islamic Centre to oppose Jews and Christians and “take up arms” against Islam’s enemies. The article reports the sermon amid scrutiny of Australian preachers said to have links with institutions visited by the alleged Bondi shooters.
The article says Al Bayyinah, in Springvale, shares sermons by preachers from across Australia, and that an affiliated account previously posted material featuring Islamic State sympathisers. It also describes Ahmad’s criticism of liberal ideas and Western life, and his support from controversial preacher Wisam Haddad, who was found to have breached racial discrimination laws over antisemitic sermons. Haddad has also criticised the prosecution of Australian women who returned after living under ISIS.
