“Due to the amount of time that’s passed”? Do Canadian authorities think that these imams no longer believe in Muhammad’s exhortation to Muslims to kill Jews? Do they think Islamic Jew-hatred is nothing they need to be concerned about? Are they too busy worrying about islamofauxbia to pay any attention to this?
“Jewish groups disappointed charges were not laid against two imams,” by Janice Arnold, Canadian Jewish News, September 14, 2017 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
Jewish groups are disappointed that the Crown will not bring charges against two imams who made anti-Semitic statements, including a call for the death of Jews, in a Montreal mosque, due to the amount of time that’s passed.
Story continues below advertisementWael al-Ghitawi and Sayed al-Ghitawi gave the contentious sermons at the Al-Andalous Islamic Centre in the St-Laurent borough of Montreal in 2014.
Both the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) and B’nai Brith Canada filed complaints against the men with Montreal police, charging that they had incited hatred and violence against Jews.
The sermons came to the public’s attention in February of this year, when YouTube videos of the talks were brought to light by some Toronto-based investigative journalists who translated them.
B’nai Brith tweeted on Sept. 13 that it is “outraged that Quebec prosecutors have chosen not” to proceed, arguing that the excuse that too much time has elapsed “is blatantly false” and stating that B’nai Brith “won’t accept this.”
“While we appreciate the thorough investigation by the Montreal police and the thoughtful decision taken by the Quebec Crown attorney, we are extremely disappointed that the Crown did not feel he was able to proceed with laying formal charges,” CIJA CEO Shimon Koffler Fogel said in a statement.
“We share the belief that the comments of one imam in particular clearly constitute hate speech and incitement to violence towards Jews and that only technical constraints precluded the Crown from laying charges at this time.”
In a 36-minute video filmed in August 2014, Sayed al-Ghitawi, who was visiting from the Middle East, is heard beseeching Allah “to destroy the accursed Jews” and “give victory to our brothers who engage in jihad in Palestine.”
He calls on the deity to “kill them one by one” and “make their children orphans and their women widows.”
The mosque issued a “clarification” in February, saying that the remarks were taken out of context: they were delivered during the war in Gaza, when there was a “massacre” of Palestinian civilians, mosque official stated, and those present understood that al-Ghitawi was referring to Israeli soldiers.
The second video from November 2014, shows Wael al-Ghitawi, Al-Andalous’s imam, declaring that today’s Jews have no historic right, or ethnic lineage, to “Palestine,” which he said is land that belongs exclusively to Muslims.
In the short clip, disseminated by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute, he claims the Jews were dispersed because they cursed Allah, killed the prophets and rejected Jesus….

The liberal outrage is that these fine up-sanding contributors to the Canadian mosaic were charged at all.

That’s because Canuckistan would rather punish critics of the terror apologist imams.

Of course they will not be charged, they are quoting from the qur’an which is 1400 years old, therefor too much time has elapsed for any charges to be laid. The Canadian legal industry is much like whine, it is constantly aged, never used.

Justice in Canadastan is definitely becoming more bitter and less just all the time.

Social machinations as the liberals are forcing everywhere, cannot do anything but fail catastrophically. Every time an “ism” is forced on a people, the results are widespread death from disease and starvation. This type of forced change must be resisted and destroyed.

Interestingly, as we here in Oz head for a postal vote on whether to approve gay marriage, libs have fired or accused of hate crime anyone opposed to it. And now the Grand Mufti has come out in public opposition to it, any word from the libs? Not a single one.

We are going to need Nuremberg type trials after we wake up and stop the islamic world wide holocaust.
Look at the Philippines let alone the ME.
Thousands of residents flee Marawi as insurgents battle Philippines troops, raise Islamic State flag.
It ain’t rocket science.

Every time the qur’an is publicly read, there should be a hate crime charge filed.

Now the mask has come off — hate speech laws in Canadastan are nothing but euphemisms for the imposition of islamic blasphemy and heresy laws.
Islamic Jew hatred: religious freedom
Criticising Islamic Jew hatred: hate crime

Justin Pierre James Trudeau, that answers the question.
Sayed al-Ghitawi calls on Allah, the moon god, to destroy the Jews; however the True God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) is prophesied to soon utterly destroy Islam.

maybe this “dad1927” was just being sarcastic, nobody is so stupid to believe even for a fraction of a second that “prettyboy Justin Trudeau” as you call him belongs to “the tribe” so give him the benefit of the doubt.
There are pictures showing him (Trudeau) in a mosque wearing the typical attire typical of the “sons of Allah” with a book of prayers that according to some is the book for those who have converted to that cult.
He has appointed muslims to important posts in his government, his administration has been extremely generous to muslim terrorists while the aged in Canada have become second class citizens.

Prime Minister Doofy has the Muslim vote locked up for the Liberals for next 100 years along with the illegal migrant crowd. He will not say anything critical about Islam and probably has his speeches regarding the Muslims cleared by his local Imam first.

Canada is a nation of “altered” men, starting with the BITCH at the top. I hope the US never again has to depend on the help of emasculated Canada in a real war,

In our brave new world of islamic tolerance will atheists denying the existence of allah be committing a hate crime by doing so? Maybe muslum jurists, jurors, LEO’s and prosecutors will be providing us the answers.
