The sermon, prepared and distributed by the Federal Territory Islamic Affairs Department and delivered on March 30, said, “Muslims must understand Jews are the main enemy to Muslims as proven by their egotistical behavior and murders performed by them.”
It also called on community leaders to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of Jerusalem to Islam.

The center also said it will ask the State Department to launch its own investigation of state-sponsored religious bigotry in Malaysia. — jta
