In Lecture For College Students, North Carolina Islamic Scholar Abdullah Khadra Says: Washington's 'Dark House' Is To Blame For The Atrocities Perpetrated By The Zionists; The West Teaches The Holocaust Like A Religion; They Are Against The Killing Of Jews, Christians, And Atheists, But Enable The Killing Of Muslims

In a November 22, 2024 lecture to college students, North Carolina Islamic scholar Abdullah Khadra (also spelled "Abdallh Khadra") stated that the "Dark House" in Washington, D.C. is responsible for the "crimes" and "horrible atrocities" of the Zionists. He warned that people would cut and spread this portion of his speech, before stating that in Syria, where he is from, the Holocaust was not taught, while in the United States and Europe, it is taught in every grade and treated like "belief in God." He questioned why the "holocaust" being perpetrated by those who claim to have been "saved from the Holocaust" is being ignored, suggesting that this is because they are Muslims.

The video was streamed live on Sheikh Abdullah Khadra’s YouTube channel. While the video did not specify which university this lecture was given at, Khadra has spoken to the Muslim Student Associations (MSA) at the University of North Carolina (UNC), North Carolina State University (NCSU), and High Point University (HPU) in the month prior to the lecture.

It is worth noting that Abdullah Khadra is the president of the Madina Quran and Youth Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 2017, he stated in a Friday sermon that Jews distorted the facts about the Western Wall and invoked the hadith about Muslims killing Jews at the end of times. In another sermon from the same year, Khadra claimed that Zionists seek to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and build their "fictitious" temple instead.

Abdullah Khadra: "We should not blame Allah for the crimes, the horrible atrocities, that those Zionists, for example, are doing. Right? We have to blame them and the 'Dark House' right there in D.C. that is giving them the green light. I was surprised, to be honest with you... Some people might take this and cut it and spread it, and it doesn't matter.

"This is a fact, we did not learn about the Holocaust in Syria, but here, they teach you this, I think in every grade, in every book. They talk about it, they teach it, in Europe. They teach it as if it is something like belief in God, right? Regardless, we did not learn about it [in Syria], and now of course anyone can search it and know about it, but the point is that every single human being is against the killing of Jews, or Christians, or atheists, or any innocent people, right? That is clear in our religion.

"But what hurts us is why you ignore those people... You ignore the holocaust that those people who claim they were saved from the Holocaust or their ancestors were killed in the Holocaust – why are you letting them do a holocaust [to the Palestinians]? Why, if you are so concerned about the Holocaust that happened at one point in time, why are you supporting the holocaust that is going on now? Is it because those are Muslim victims?"
