A Sunni Muslim imam in Skåne, Sweden, reportedly made inflammatory statements during sermons in 2025, according to Swedish media reports. In a March sermon, the imam allegedly spoke about war and revenge, stating: "We will give them blood. We will give them death and expulsion as they gave us," referring to Israel and Iran, as reported by Expressen and covered by Aftonbladet.
The same sermon reportedly emphasized that this message should be passed to the next generation, with children being taught "that we will take revenge." In a separate Friday sermon in September 2025, the imam allegedly accused Jews of practicing magic, stating: "Those who practice magic most today are Jews. It is no secret."

In a follow-up interview with Expressen, the imam reportedly clarified that he advocates for violence only within the framework of international law. He also referenced another sermon where he said Jews and Christians should be treated with "respect, honesty, and kindness." The reports have drawn attention to religious rhetoric in Sweden's Muslim communities, though the imam's identity and specific mosque location were not disclosed in the available sources.
