Hafiz Mohammed Khalid Sidiqqi said in a Friday sermon last month at Masjid Darussalam in San Francisco, which is the largest mosque in downtown San Francisco and managed by the Islamic Society of San Francisco, that former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who died suddenly on June 17, had been murdered by Zionist agents.

He said that there are many of these agents in the Muslim world, working for Satan.

Siddiqi said that Morsi had only been trying to help humanity by spreading the truth of Islam and its message of justice throughout the world, but that the “forces of evil” did not allow it and will not allow it until the Muslims “connect” with each other and “establish the kind of unity that is required.”

Siddiqi’s website says that he has been serving the Bay Area and the United States since 1983. It says that he currently lectures in Islamic Studies and Arabic at Chabot College, at Mission College, at Ohlone College and at the Graduate Theological Union’s Center for Islamic Studies, and that he is the director of the Islamic Education and Information Center and the founder of the Islamic Law Council.

Siddiqi holds a Ph.D. in Koranic Studies from the University of London and a master’s degree in Koranic Exegesis from Al-Azhar University in Egypt.

The video was uploaded to a YouTube page called IqraTube, which is run by Siddiqi.

“If Michigan Hillel wants to remain the center of Jewish life on campus, it cannot retreat from one of the central and challenging parts of being Jewish there,” Seth Mendel, of CAMERA, told JNS.
“Your ability to find the strength to rise above the pain, to combat the immediate threat to your life, and to operate sound judgment demonstrates the strength of your character,” Israel’s president wrote.
“We tried to make it clear to them that this is a memorial that was built for those who died in a horrible terrorist attack,” Lawrence Puccini told JNS.
Israel assailed the decision as a “grotesque weaponization of an award to legitimize anti-Israel hatred and prejudice.”
