They are all involved in this. They don't want any voices to be raised against terrorism."[21][22]

Wahhabism and Jews

edit

In the same interview Jawad compared practitioners of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia to Jews, stating that: "This is the path of the Jews. According to their Talmud, none but the Jews have the right to live. The Jewish mentality and the Wahhabi mentality are one and the same. That is why we say that there is no difference between the Saudis and the Jews. Their policies are the same, and they support one another. In fact, the Jews are their patrons."[23]

In March 2023, he says only Yogi Adityanath can uplift the Shias of Uttar Pradesh.[24]
