Warrant issued for Jordanian imam accused of promoting hatred in Montreal sermon
MONTREAL — An arrest warrant has been issued for a Jordanian imam who is accused of giving a sermon last December calling on Jews to be killed.
A Quebec judge signed off on the document last week for Moh’d Mousa Hussein Nasr, also known as Imam Sheikh Muhammad ibn Musa Al Nasr, who is not Canadian.
The Montreal police hate crimes unit investigated the sermon — which was allegedly delivered at a Montreal mosque in December 2016 — before the Crown authorized a charge against the cleric of wilful promotion of hatred.
Video of the sermon at Montreal’s Dar al-Arqam Mosque shows the accused calling the Jews the “worst of mankind” and hoping for their slaughter at the hands of Muslims.
