Canadian imam Adnan Abyat said in his July 19, 2024 Friday sermon in Coquitlam, in the Vancouver, BC area, that Muslim should raise their family and nation on the "idea of Jihad." He said that Muslims must protect themselves. Abyat added: "Enough is enough, Muslim blood has become the cheapest liquid upon this earth." He said that "a bunch of filthy Zionist Jews" have decided to destroy Muslims. Abyat condemned Muslim leaders who agree with the Israeli policy and want to destroy Hamas. He said that if the Muslims abandon Jihad, Allah will humiliate them. The sermon was streamed live on the YouTube channel of Masjid Alhidayah – ISBC (Islamic Society of British Columbia).
Adnan Abyat: "Allah does not change the status of any people, any nation, until they change themselves from the inside. We have to start with ourself, our own family, our own nation, raising them on the idea of Jihad, on the idea of the religion of Allah, it is only becoming... how to defend ourself. How to defend ourself. Because the Muslims have to get up, enough is enough, Muslim blood has become the cheapest liquid upon this earth.
