From Breitbart: The world is “a better place” without Charlie Kirk, according to Virginia Imam Ismail Saleem, who accused the recently slain conservative activist of having died “disrespecting black people” and thus unworthy of sympathy, as he declared that the Turning Point USA founder is “getting what he deserves” and the grief of his supporters “makes me smile.”
In a Friday sermon in Norfolk, Virginia, Islamic preacher Ismail Saleem spoke to the congregation, slamming both Kirk and those expressing sympathy over his death, accusing mourners of misplaced morality.
“You see, the problem today is with empathy. And the problem that we see currently in these last couple of days is the empathy is for the family and friends of the racist person [Charlie Kirk],” he stated. “Does anybody hope that this man’s children grow up to be like him or continue his legacy and his work?”
“Some people empathize because they are not good people themselves,” he added.
It gets even worse, as Saleem added, “He died disrespecting black people, so I don’t care about him at all. The world is a better place without him.”
“He gets what he deserves — he’s getting what he deserves — right now. And it makes me smile. Their tears make me smile. Their anger makes me smile,” he gloated.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), who monitors radical Islamic sermons, shared a video of Saleem’s appalling comments.
