In his December 20, 2024, Friday sermon at the Muslim Community Center in Brooklyn, NY, Imam Hassan Akbar stated that Muslims around the world are celebrating the Syrian liberation and Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani as he strives to guide the nation of Syria. However, he reminded Muslims not to forget that they were equally happy when Mohammad Morsi took control of Egypt. It was the first time that the president of Egypt and his wife were both scholars of the Quran, with his wife also wearing the niqab face covering. Yet, Morsi was deposed, thrown in jail, and removed from power.
Akbar continued by saying that Muslims were also equally happy to see the "freedom fighters" Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, leaders of Hamas, when they "decided to straighten their backs" and fight for liberation. He further emphasized that Islam will eventually reach every single home on the face of the planet.
In November 2023, Imam Akbar delivered a Friday sermon in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, where he lamented that the media does not allow them to say that they have a conflict with Jews, instead forcing them to use the term "Zionists."
Hassan Akbar: "The Prophet of Allah, the praised and exalted, is informing us that there will come a time in which Islam will enter every single home on the face of the planet.
[...]
"Now, my dear brothers and sisters, Syria is free, and you find the people are celebrating, and Muslims around the world are celebrating.
[...]
"Everyone is celebrating Mohammad Al-Joulani, I believe that is his name. And so, we ask Allah, the praised and exalted, to guide him as he tries to guide the nation of Syria.
"However, we should not forget that we were equally as happy, at least the people who I knew, when Mohammad Morsi took control and authority and power in Egypt. The people, they celebrated. Everyone was happy that the first time in Egypt's history, the president of the country was a scholar of the Quran, and so was his wife. And his wife wore a niqab. And we felt that this was going to be a new page for Egypt that had been dominated for decades by dictatorships and military control. However, shortly thereafter, he was toppled, deposed, thrown in jail, and martyred.
"Remember that we were also happy to see those freedom fighters Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, may Allah forgive them and forgive us, when they decided to straighten their backs and fight for their liberation and the liberation of their people."
