An Illinois Muslim group scrubbed a Monday video panel featuring an Islamic quote about killing Jews after the Daily Caller News Foundation reached out.
Veteran activists and ex-inmates Dhoruba bin Wahad, Jalil Muntaqim and Jihad Abdulmumit discussed how to navigate “extreme and revolutionary times” with anti-prison organization Believers Bail Out (BBO). Bin Wahad claimed their “struggle would be typified by” an Islamic passage containing a violent prophecy.
“Every living thing in the [Muslim holy city] and in Western Asia would speak out … every bush, every tree would say that there’s a Jew behind me — slay him,” Bin Wahad said in BBO’s video recording, paraphrasing the text. The terrorist group Hamas also quoted the passage in its 1988 founding charter.
BBO, based in Chicago, did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment about Bin Wahad’s remarks but made the YouTube video private on Tuesday.
