Centre, Sayyed al-Ghitaoui, called for the destruction of Jews. In his sermons, al-Ghitaoui implored Allah to “destroy the accursed Jews”,  to “kill them one by one” and to “make their children orphans and their women widows”.

“We urge government and civil society leaders of all faiths to join us in condemning these comments as abhorrent and unacceptable.”
