Controversies

Muslims to corruption.[2]

In July 2018, Mundhir Abdallah, a Hizb ut-Tahrir member, delivered a sermon including the quote:[3]

Doomsday will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews, such that the Muslims kill them, and the Jew will hide behind rock and trees, and the rock and the trees will say: "O muslim, O worshipper of God, there is a Jew behind me, so come and kill him".

— Mundhir Abdallah

For this, he was charged with §266(b) and §136 part 3 of the

penal code (respectively nicknamed racismeparagraffen and forkynderloven), the latter of which prohibits religious teachers from including express approval of certain crimes, including manslaughter, in religious instruction. The defense argued that Abdallah should be acquitted because the sermon was based on a Hadithic quote, because it was meant to refer to Israel rather than Jews in general, and because it was meant as a "prophecy" rather than an encouragement. He was found guilty on both charges.[4][5]

On 4 October 2018, 6 politicians from the

Minister of Justice Søren Pape Poulsen reported that the Ministry of Justice did not find a basis for this action in the constitution:[8]

If an opportunity appears to dissolve the underlying union within the framework of the constitution, we should pursue that opportunity. But the Ministry of Justice has not deemed that this is possible

— Søren Pape Poulsen

On 21 June 2019, imam Mundhir Abdallah stated in a sermon that the rulers and heads of state of Muslim countries, such as

UAE, and Saudi Arabia, were serving crusader countries (United States), and that Jerusalem was occupied by Zionists.[9]
