"Hitler never intended to mass-destroy the Jews... The Hoax of the Holocaust — I advise you to read this book, you'll want to write this down — The Hoax of the Holocaust, a very good book. All of this is false propaganda..."" — Yasir Qadhi, one of Ground Zero Mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow
Imam Yasir Qadhi lectured at the Boston jihad bombers' mosque in April 2009, and has advocated replacing U.S. democracy with Islamic rule.
Christmas Day balls bomber Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to blow up a transatlantic flight with a homicide bomb he had sewn into his underpants, studied under Qadhi. In 2008, Abdulmutallab attended a two-week program put on by the AlMaghrib Institute. Yasir Qadhi isAlMaghrib's Houston-based director of the 2008 program and national Dean of Academic Affairs. The AlMaghrib program offered "mainstream Islamic stuff," Qadhi told CNN, which did not challenge the claim.
Qadhi's hatred of non-Muslims, contempt for Western society, and glorification of jihad. Qadhi has alsostated that he "owed a lot to" Ali Al-Timimi, who was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of soliciting others to wage war against the United States. Even after Timimi's conviction, to Qadhi, he is someone "who I can say (with pride) that fifteen years ago, back in the early 90s, he played an instrumental role in shaping and directing me to take the path that has led me to where I am today."
While Qadhi professes to be part of the de-radicalization effort, CNN reports he enjoyed a starring role in the 2008 U.S.-funded Counter-Radicalization Strategy conference by the National Counterterrorism Center, his talks seethe with hatred for non-Muslims and the West. As part of a TV series named the "Fundamentals of Faith," which was broadcast on the popular British Muslim TV 'Islam Channel,' Qadhi showed his contempt for all other systems of thought besides Islam.
