An Egyptian imam in Vienna uses horrific words to incite hatred against Jews on Facebook. “Murder flows in their veins, they are the Jews!”, he writes, earning approval. “A despicable people, criminals, bloodthirsty people”. He is very clear: “Oh Allah, kill them and don’t let any of them live”.
The mosque at the Schöpfwerk has always been a meeting place for the Egyptian community. Hundreds of families from Egypt live in the housing estate. The imam of the local mosque has now caused an outrageous scandal. On Facebook, he rails against Jews and “their allies” in Arabic – and promptly earns approval.
Insiders have not ruled out links to the radical Islamic Muslim Brotherhood. The terrorist organisation Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the internationally active group.
The hate preacher in question is Mohamed El S. What this mosque chairman “says on Facebook clearly is hate preaching and suspected incitement to hatred”, writes oe24, which uncovered the scandal. The imam is the chairman of the mosque association, which was founded in 2002 and is supposed to promote integration. Its name is “Assalam Mosque Association for Integration (!)”.
Mohamed El S. wrote on the 17th of January 2024: “Oh Allah, defeat the Jews and support the mujahideen who are fighting for Allah in Palestine”. Earlier, on the 5th of January, he had already railed against Jews in a vile manner: “Murder flows in their veins, they are the Jews! A despicable people, criminals, bloodthirsty people … They only understand the language of blood and murder”. On the 9th of January he added: “Oh Allah, please punish the criminal Zionists and those who support them, tear them apart, oh Allah, please count them and kill them and leave none of them alive”.
