Bangash/Zundel! Where Is The Difference?

They both preach annihilation of jews but we kicked out Zundel but allow Bangash to spout the same vile garbage with impunity. Could it be that we fear the leftist apologists will scream religious persecution because Bangash is an iman?

Let's look at his record.........

Protesters have emphasized that it is not the mosque that bothered them but the fact that its leader, Zafar Bangash, is a notorious extremist. Bangash disagrees. So, in the best of Canadian traditions, you judge for yourself.

He edited a newspaper called Crescent International for 20 years. In 1998, the paper stated that Canada is a "fully paid-up member of the Anglo-Saxon mafia, which is responsible for most of the recorded genocides in the world." After the 9/11 mass murder it claimed that Osama bin Laden was someone who "stands up to the West in the name of Islam" and that there was a "far greater tragedy taking place in Iraq, Palestine and now in Afghanistan."

So regarded is the man by Islamic extremists that the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC) awarded him a media excellence award in 2001. I use the term extremist because in 2004 the president of the CIC, Mohamed Elmasry, said on my television show that every Israeli over the age of 18, irrespective of gender, was a valid target for death.

Not sure where Bangash stands on that issue but he has said that, "there will be no room for a Jewish Israel. Zionist thugs will have to vacate every inch of Palestine if there is to be justice (and therefore peace) in that tortured land."

He also told an audience that, "for people like politicians George Bush and Tony Blair, there would be peace if the whole world was pumping oil to satisfy America's voracious appetite for black gold. But for the state of Israel, peace would mean when all the Palestinians have been put into the graveyard, six feet down."

Discussing the Ayatollah Khomeini, the imam wrote, "the imam's designation of the U.S. as a great Satan was very precise. It emerged from a very careful study and understanding of the behaviour of the United States government and its policies down the generations."

He continued, the U.S. works "under the guise of delivering democracy and freedom when tens of thousands if not hundred of thousands of innocent people have been murdered in cold blood. Similar crimes are being perpetrated in Palestine by the U.S. support of the Zionist occupiers of Palestine."

Writing of Sayyid Qutb, one of the founders of The Muslim Brotherhood, he stated that he, "lives in the hearts of millions of Muslims worldwide. His books have been translated into virtually every language that Muslims read, and remain hugely influential ... he was an Islamic intellectual and leader of rare insight and integrity."

Qutb was hanged for his activities and was an anti-Western militant who believed in international Islamic war against the West, Jews and even Muslims with whom he disagreed. He embraced violent jihad and bloody revolution.
