Calls to kill Jews during a sermon in the Brno mosque

During a sermon in a Brno mosque at an unspecified time in late 2008 or early 2009, a preacher in the Brno mosque called for the killing of Jews and the destruction of Israel. The speaker later claimed that the words were only directed at Jews fighting in what was then Operation “Cast Lead” in Palestine. The police only learned of the case in 2012 and stated that any potential criminal charges had already been filed. However, the case raised concerns and led to a deterioration in relations between the Jewish and Muslim communities in Brno.
