The federal opposition has called for a federal and NSW police response to a new sermon shared online by notorious Islamic hate preacher Wissam Haddad, in which he targets Jews, Christians and mocks Easter.
The notorious jihadi preacher linked to one of the Bondi gunmen is back spreading hatred against Jews and Christians in a new sermon.
Excerpts from the new 30-minute speech by Sydney preacher Wissam Haddad will be revealed on ‘Sharri’ on Sky News at 8pm AEST.
They were shared by Haddad via encrypted app Telegram on Tuesday and uploaded to YouTube.
In the sermon, Haddad takes aim at the moderate Muslims who mix with “kuffar”, an Arabic word for infidels or non-believers, singling out those who spread messages of “interfaith” dialogue on TikTok and Instagram.
“You see them say things that have nothing to do with Islam, which is alien to Islam or giving wrong information or you find they themselves are mixing with the kuffar,” Haddad says in the sermon.

“They are preaching things like interfaith, that we’re all one, that we’re all from Adam.
“One of them is going as far as being in a video with a rabbi, who said that we are all the children of God and he’s nodding his head as this person is saying this and we know this is something that is kuffar.”
The jihadi preacher told followers the sermon is part of his “new series”.
He also cites part of the Hadith - a collection of sayings by the prophet Muhammad - telling his followers Jews, Christians and even moderate Muslims, will end up in hell.
“The Jews split into 71 sects, one of which will be in paradise and 70 in hell,” Haddad says.
“The Christians split into 72 sects, every one of which will be in hell and one in the paradise.”
Haddad also mocks Christians and Easter in the sermon, which was first published on Easter Monday.
The sermon comes months after the jihadi preacher was found to have breached the Racial Discrimination Act by the Federal Court in a number of antisemitic speeches, which included calling Jews “vile”, “treacherous” and the “descendants of pigs and monkeys”. Picture: NewsWire / Nikki Short
“They celebrate the supposed crucifixion of - and I don’t see how it’s a celebration,” Haddad says.
“Their God’s being killed and dies and they’re celebrating. It’s a Good Friday. Makes no sense.”

Haddad had also preached that “at the end of times when the Muslims will be fighting the Jews, the trees will speak, the stones will speak and they will say o Muslim, o believer, there is a Yehudi (Jew) behind me, come and kill him.”
Justice Angus Stewart ordered the speeches be taken down and warned Haddad he would be at risk of contempt of court if he repeated the antisemitic conduct.
Haddad has since been linked to surviving Bondi gunman Naveed Akram, who was reportedly a follower of Wissam Haddad and a worshipper at his Al Madina Dawah Centre in the city’s southwest.
Akram is currently before the court charged with the murder of 15 people at Bondi Beach on December 14.
Haddad has denied links to Akram.

Haddad’s Al Madina Dawah Centre was closed down in January, a month on from the Bondi attacks - after the local council issued it with a cease use notice, saying it never had permission to run as a prayer hall in the first place.
Shadow assistant multicultural affairs minister Dave Sharma called on state and federal authorities to act.
“Wissam Haddad’s most recent public sermons are disgusting and deserve the strongest possible condemnation,” Senator Sharma said.
“Haddad’s past hate speech has already been found to be in breach of the Racial Discrimination Act, but this latest example plumbs new depths of depravity.
“In these comments, Haddad mocks other faiths and criticises those who support co-existence.
“His comments are an affront to every Australian and to Australian values, and are corrosive of national unity.
“Premier Chris Minns must direct the NSW Police to investigate whether these latest comments for a potential breach of Section 93Z of the Crimes Act.
“And the Australian Federal Police should open an investigation into whether these latest comments are a crime under the Combating Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill passed by the federal Parliament in January.”
Senator Sharma also referred the clip to YouTube for removal as Hate Speech under the platform’s community guidelines.
Sky News has contacted Mr Minns, the AFP, and YouTube for comment.
Mr Minns is on leave but is expected to respond on Thursday.
An AFP spokesperson would not comment on whether it would investigate the matter, but urged anyone with “information on hate preachers or hate speech incidents [to] please contact the national security hotline.”
In January, Sky News revealed Haddad was using Telegram to test a new animated cartoon series targeting young children with his preachings.
