A MEMRI TV clip posted on February 26, 2018 on the MEMRI TV YouTube channel
exposed Sheikh Abu Abdillah Ismaeel making anti-gay statements in a Friday
sermon at the Masjid Ahlul Quran Wa Sunnah mosque in Queens, N.Y. In the
MEMRI TV clip, Sheikh said: "Satan slowly but surely is getting at the
Muslims, trying to get our religion to change... either to become extreme
bloodthirsty murderers... or to become fags." He continued: "As far as I am
concerned, it's not politically incorrect, it doesn't go against any
constitutional laws to call them a fag, a homosexual, a lowlife, a savage."
People, he said, were trying "to take a Quranic verse and misconstrue it, to
take a hadith and misconstrue it, to justify homosexuality, to justify
terrorism, to justify murder, to justify stealing or violating people's
property."
