A Sydney Islamic centre where a preacher urged Muslims to engage in jihad has broadcast another sermon by a prominent Sydney cleric reciting parables about calls to kill Jews and spruiking anti-Semitic tropes. Al Madina Dawah Centre uploaded the sermon on the weekend by Abu Ousayd, who it is understood runs the centre, titled The Jews of Al Madina. “Towards the end of times, when the Muslims will be fighting the Jews, the trees will speak,” Mr Ousayd said, citing Islamic scripture and parables. “They will say ‘oh Muslim, there is a yahud (Arabic for Jew) behind me, come and kill him’.” On Sunday, The Australian revealed how “Brother Ismail” gave a sermon at the southwest Sydney religious centre after the October 7 massacre in Israel, taking aim at the government and calling jihad the “solution”. “There is no other way … they (Muslims) are looking forward to joining the mujahideen,” said Brother Ismail, whose full name has not been disclosed. He called Hamas “freedom fighters” and praised the symbols used in the al-Qa’ida flag. He also said “labelling Muslims as terrorists” pushed them into a corner, a “test for the national security system”.
