Standing in front of the White House, Imam Abdul Alim Musa, director of the Masjid Al-Islam in Washington D.C., called Donald Trump a dictator, comparing him to Hitler. "If you go and look up Adolf Hitler's speech in 1933, when he became chancellor, it is the exact same speech that Donald Trump gave," said Imam Musa, adding: "We don't want to go back to when America was great. America has never been great." The Arkansas-born imam is the director and founder of As-Sabiqun and of the Islamic Institute of Counter-Zionist American Psychological Warfare, and is also a member of the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought. His address was posted on YouTube on January 25

 

Abdul Alim Musa: This system that we have here in America is just not working, and nobody knows what to do about it. Just because they bring a dictator in like Donald Trump... That's the same as the dictator they brought in Germany in 1933. Isn't that right? They had got a dictator called Adolf Hitler, and if you go and look up Adolf Hitler's speech in 1933, when he became chancellor, it is the exact same speech that Donald Trump gave. What was it? The defense of the Fatherland, to help make the German people great again. Isn't that right?

 

 

Okay, now we don't want to make America like it was in the past. If you go back a few years, they were hanging black people on trees, cutting off Chinese people's pigtails. We don't want to go back to when America was great. America has never been great.
