Detroit imam Imran Salha said at a Friday, August 2, 2024 sermon at the Islamic Center of Detroit that Islam is superior, that it is the last hope for America, that the way America treats Muslims around the world will dictate its longevity, that the Muslims will never truly find favor with the Christians and the Jews, that the job of Muslims in America is to teach about Allah and "frustrate" the Zionists, and that the Zionists are the "cockroaches of history," while the Muslims are "the liberators." He said: "Frustrate the Zionists with every single mode that is within your reach as a citizen of this country… Every single time you go on Fox News and you yell at that Zionist, Allah is rewarding you." The sermon was livestreamed on the Islamic Center of Detroit's YouTube channel.
