Memphis Imam Yassir Fazaga on U.S. Elections: Politics Can Be Beautiful - Yahya Sinwar Was a “Beautiful Leader” Who Walked the Walk and Talked the Talk, Whereas Politicians Who Are “Dirty Players “Dazzle You with False Speech and Spread Corruption

In his November 1, 2024, Friday sermon at the Memphis Islamic Center, Yassir Fazaga discussed the upcoming U.S. elections, stating that politicians dazzle constituents with their speech. He referred to Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, as one of the “most beautiful” Gazan leaders, praising his demonstration of what it means to die honorably. Fazaga claimed that people regard Sinwar as a hero and a legend, noting that he "walked the walk and talked the talk." He compared Gazan leaders to American politicians, who, in his view, use “false speech” and spread corruption once elected. The sermon was streamed live on the YouTube channel of the Islamic Center of Memphis, Tennessee.
