In addition, nearly three million people subscribed to Israr Ahmed’s channel, and he was highly regarded for his lectures.
YouTube took action after the Jewish Chronicle reported that British Pakistani Malik Faisal Akram, who took hostages at the Texas Synagogue, was inspired by lectures by Dr. Israr Ahmed.
According to the Muslim YouTube moderator, he has repeatedly voiced his concerns regarding anti-Jewish content on YouTube – including flagging Dr. Ahmed – but his concerns have been ignored. According to him, Dr. Ahmed’s lectures included references to the “Jew World Order” and described Jews as “cursed people” or “cursed race” who have conspired against Muslims for centuries and as “followers of Satan, intent on the destruction of Islam”.
Moreover, According to the Jewish Chronicle, Israr Ahmed’s videos led Malik Faisal Akram to take four people hostage at gunpoint in a Texas synagogue in January.
