Last week, Maulana Tariq Jameel was severely criticised for his remarks on women, that he made on National TV during the pre-Ramadan telethon. You can read more about that story here. While people had still not forgotten the previous comments, on Sunday, an old video of Maulana Tariq Jameel’s sermon was floated on Twitter, which led to new backlash against the Islamic scholar who is widely popular due to his televised sermons. The video which is barely 2 minutes in duration shows Maulana Tariq Jameel calling Africans “ugly” multiple times. He also says, “However many ugly people there are in the world, especially if you go to Africa and see them.”
The video clip is attached below:
Africans are beautiful. Prophet’s wife Bibi Maria Qubtiyya was a Ethiopian Princess.
PBUH declared all human kind equal.
This racist Mullah #TariqJameel must be banned entering UK and Africa for calling black people ugly & monstrous.
He is spreading hate
