CHICAGO – Within blocks of Midway International Airport on Chicago’s south side is located the Chicago Islamic Center, in the 3400 block of 63rd Street. There, during the week of July 18-25, Sheik Muhamed Elihim called on local jihad devotees to aid fellow believers in Gaza and Palestine and destroy Israel.

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) posted the following excerpts from the imam’s sermon on their YouTube page this week. The 501 c3 charitable group says its purpose is to “bridge the language gap between the West and the Middle East.”
