Religious speech ruling looms over ‘vile’ Jew sermons
An Islamic preacher who sued for calling Jews as “inferiority and traitor, will discuss whether he defends a cases of discrimination by discussing religious freedom.
Sydney -based Al Madina Dawah Center Caleri Wissam Haddad is accused of racial discrimination during a series of fiery sermons that have gathered thousands of views online since the end of 2023.
In the speeches, Mr. Haddad, also known as Abu Ouesayd, was called the Jewish people as “vile”, “traitor”, “killer” and “grandchildren of pigs and monkeys.
The Federal Court case was opened by Peter Wertheim, Chairman of the Jewish Jewish Jewish Jewish Chief Executive Officer and Robert Good.
He said that the court orders were disturbing and that the published courses that could cause violence against the Jews can be transferred and that Mr. Haddad forbids similar comments.
Justice Angus Stewart will decide on Tuesday.
At a hearing held in June, Mr. Haddad’s lawyers argued that the speeches were not racist, but rather they maintained the speech because they were historical and religious lessons delivered in good faith to context in Gaza.
Initially claimed that the sermons were made for a small private Muslim audience, while Islamic preacher agreed that he knew that he would be published online through the hearing.
For two Jewish leaders, lawyers accused Haddad of struggling with an aggressive behavior pattern, pointing to the provocative statements he made about Christian and Hindu communities.
