Canada: Imam says ‘The Muslims, it is their duty to expel the Jews from Palestine, because it is an Islamic land’

Kathrada doesn’t say that Palestine is “Palestinian” land, or even Arab land. Either one of those would have made sense within the prevailing Western assumption that the conflict between Israel and the “Palestinians” is over competing claims to the same parcel of land, and a “two-state solution” would fix everything. Instead, Kathrada insists that Palestine is Islamic land. His conflict with Israel is based entirely upon Islam, and its claim to have a right to any land that Sharia once ruled, which is in turn based on Qur’an 2:191.

Canadian Islamic Scholar Younus Kathrada: Palestine Is Muslim Land; No Infidel Can Rule It; It Cannot Be Governed By Democracy Or Infidel Laws, Only Shari’a; It Is The Muslims’ Duty To Expel The Jews From Palestine

MEMRI, August 3, 2026:

In his July 31, 2026 Friday sermon at the Muslim Youth Victoria Islamic center in British Columbia, Canadian Islamic scholar Younus Kathrada said that Palestine is Muslim land and that no “infidel,” which he clarified to mean a non-Muslim, can rule it….

Younus Kathrada: “Filastin or Palestine is a Muslim land. Palestine, Filastin is a land of the prophets. No disbeliever. No infidel…

[…]

“No non-Muslim has any right in ruling or governing it, that is, in governing and ruling Palestine with disbelief and atheism. They cannot rule by democracy or any of these other non-Muslim laws.

“The Jewish claim—because you’re going to hear this all the time—the Jewish claim that Allah promised them the Holy Land is absolutely baseless. It is only a fantasy. It’s a myth. In fact, Allah dedicated this land for Muslims in all times.

[…]

“So these Jews—who disbelieve in Muhammad and therefore also disbelieve in Moses—they have no right to rule Palestine.

[…]

“The Muslims, it is their duty to expel the Jews from Palestine, because it is an Islamic land. It is a Muslim land. That land belongs to the Muslims, and that land must be ruled according to the shari’a of Allah, the law of Allah.

[…]

“The true terrorists are those who are occupying those lands today, and those who want to take over the Al-Aqsa Mosque and who want to tule by their man-made infidel laws.

[…]

“Oh Allah, grant victory to the mujahideen on Your path everywhere. Oh Allah, make their feet firm, strengthen their hearts, grant them tranquility, and grant them victor over their and Your enemy, oh Mighty one, oh Powerful one. Oh Allah, grant us the joy of seeing the Al-Aqsa Mosque restored to the fold of Islam and the Muslims. Oh Allah, grant us the joy of seeing the Al-Aqsa Mosque restored to the fold of Islam and the Muslims.

“Oh Allah, destroy the plundering and occupying Jews along with the infidels and hypocrites that help them. Oh Allah, destroy them, for they are no match for You. Oh Allah, shake the ground beneath their feet.”
