Muslim protesters in Michigan chant ‘death to America,’ ‘death to Israel’ during Al-Quds Day

In a video from the event, Hadi Institute activist Tarek Bazzi was heard saying, "We have been asked in the past why our protests on the international day Al-Quds, why are they so anti-American? Why don't we just focus on Israel and not talk so much about America?"

"Gaza has shown the entire world why these protests are so anti-American," he claimed. "Because it's the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about."

Bazzi went on to reference the words of Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Day Al-Quds Day.

"This is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America."

In the background, the crowd began chanting "Death to America!"

The activist claimed that it's not just President Joe Biden that has to go, who he referred to as "Genocide Joe."

"It is the entire system that has to go," he continued. "Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen, and would support it – such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth."

Bazzi claimed that chanting "Death to Israel" has become "the most logical chant" around the world. The crowd could then be heard chanting "Death to Israel" in the background. The video ends with the crowd singing the "From the River to the Sea" rallying cry, which advocates for the end of the Jewish nation.

According to Fox News, the International Al-Quads Day pro-Palestinian rally has been held in Dearborn for the last 20 years on the last Friday of the Ramadan holiday. The city has the highest number of Muslim residents per capita in the country.

Michigan State Representative Phil Green (R) told the outlet, "This type of extremism, this type of rhetoric, this type of division, threats of violence, was a Middle East thing, it seems like a lot of that was limited to the Middle East, and now it’s come to our doorstep."
