When it comes to anything Jewish, South Florida Muslim Federation President Samir Kakli believes it is based on ‘fairy tales.’ That’s what he felt, when he recently posted on his Facebook page that Israel ‘is built on lies and fantasy.’ And that’s what he felt, when, in reaction to Hamas’s new crimes against humanity, he posted a video referring to the Jewish Bible, the Tanakh, as an “ancient text of made-up stories.” Given the anti-Semitic groups and individuals that constitute his Federation, it makes sense that he would hold these bigoted views. It also makes sense that the general public should be warned of his and his group’s actions.
In the morning of October 7th, close to 1000 Hamas terrorists entered Israel by land, sea and air, under the cover of thousands of rockets fired from Gaza, and massacred well over 1000 Israelis, mostly civilians. They raped women and ridiculed their bloodied bodies. They butchered elderly. Scores of babies were burned alive and beheaded by them. They killed house pets. They abducted around 150 Israelis and others, taking them into Gaza, threatening to execute them. The level of depravity, cruelty and violence has shocked many around the world, as videos and images of the carnage have been posted online and broadcast on the news.
Samir Kakli is the President of the South Florida Muslim Federation (SoFlo Muslims), an umbrella group for South Florida’s many radical Muslim institutions. Following the Hamas attacks, Kakli and the Federation immediately posted links on the group’s social media calling on its followers to donate money to Gaza through Islamic Relief (IR), an organization that Israel has banned and labeled a front for Hamas. One of the donate links to IR was attached to the Federation’s official statement about the present conflict, which, instead of condemning Hamas, condemned Israel for what it called “occupation and subjugation of the Palestinian people.”
The Muslim Federation then posted on its Facebook page a condolence message for Zarefah Baroud, the Digital Media Associate of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a group that also has known ties to Hamas. Four of Baroud’s family homes in Gaza were singled out by Israel with airstrikes, apparently as the family, itself, had involvement with Hamas. A number of family members were killed in the strikes.
Kakli and his Federation are rabidly anti-Israel. In May 2022, the Federation was a co-sponsor of an anti-Israel rally, where there were calls for Israel’s destruction. Three days prior to the rally, Kakli posted on Facebook that Israel is the “world’s leading terrorist organization.” Last December, Kakli posted about Israel, “[T]heir ‘nation’ is built on lies & fantasy.” Kakli has, as well, called for the release of leaders of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), who were convicted of raising millions of dollars for Hamas; he has shared material posted on Facebook by Hamas media; and he promoted the Palestinian “Day of Rage,” which targeted Jews with violence.
Kakli’s extreme hatred for Israel has led him to target Jews in general. Two days after the Hamas murders, rapes and kidnappings of Jews took place, Kakli posted a video on his social media calling the Jewish (and in essence the Christian) Bible a book of fables. In the video, the first character, “Israel,” tells the other, “Palestine,” that “Palestine’s” home is actually his, i.e. (the lie) that Jews stole Palestinian land. When “Israel” was asked who told him that, he replied, holding up a text, “This ancient book of made-up stories,” an offensive line ridiculing the overarching theme from the Bible of G-d promising the land of Israel to the Jewish people.
This content jibes with the bigoted teachings of Federation members, who claim that Jews have corrupted and changed the Bible. One Federation member that promotes this, Masjid Jamaat Al-Mumineen (MJAM), has a library of texts on its website that sanction domestic violence against women, glorify female genital mutilation, obligate jihad (holy war), mandate death punishments for homosexuals, vilify Hindus, and label Jews and Christians “enemies.”
Kakli obtained the video from the Facebook page of imam and popular speaker, Suhaib Webb. Last year, Webb honored dead Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader and fan of Palestinian suicide bombings, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, praising him for “standing for positions, when many have folded to pressure.” In May 2019, Webb posted on Facebook a photo of himself arm-in-arm with Monzer Talib, a self-avowed member of Hamas, who posted that Jews in Israel “should be relocated to Germany.” He called Talib “a special man” and his “mentor.” In May 2015, Webb crudely described oppressed Taliban women wearing burkas as “getting [their] swag on.”
No doubt, Kakli and his South Florida Muslim Federation’s actions endanger the local Jewish community, as their fierce rhetoric against both Jews and Israel could easily spark others to commit acts of violence. Furthermore, they are a global threat, because they are conducting fundraising for Gaza via a reportedly Hamas-linked group. Both local and federal authorities should be scrutinizing their activities and their ongoing fundraising efforts and move to shut them down.
It is time for the public and law enforcement to pay attention and take the necessary steps to ensure Americans’ safety and security, before we see scenes like those of the mass carnage in Israel taking place in our own cities and towns.

Hey Camel Jockey Origin of the Species by Charles Darwin is all Made Up Stories so is both of Al Gores books as well as The God Delusion and other books written by Atheists/Infdels
All,
The majority of Islam’s tenets has been taken from (and twisted) from Judaism and Christianity.
Very twisted. Like the assertion that the Virgin Mary (Miriam in Hebrew) was also Moses’ sister, the Prophetess Miriam. Never mind that they lived 1300 or so years apart and were totally different people.
Aside from base insults and mockery, Muslims use a very crude form of that literary genre, “higher biblical criticism” against Jews–and Christians. They do it against Hindus and Buddhists, as well.
We need a broad-based “Dhimmi Liberation Front”, so to speak, to develop a “higher Koranic Criticism” sub-genre and then rub it in Muslims eyes and ears via the internet until their brains swell and explode.
These MEMRI/Canary Mission/Elder of Zion, etc, etc groups/services are fine, but not aggressive enough.
This organization should be investigated by DOJ as a source of domestic terrorism and have its tax exempt status removed
You want them to investigate themselves?
70 virgins (that become virgin again directly after sex) a couch (wtf), sweet ripe fruit hanging within easy reach, a stream of cool water (some say wine) to fill ones cup. Cant forget the beautiful boys scattered about like pearls.
The only religion that is sooo complete that it explains what to do with one’s cattle—-after they have been properly
f@$#%!ed
What a laughable little turd this guy is.
72 virgins. Though according to some translations it’s 72 raisins. You decide.
There is something ridiculous about a Muslim mocking the Bible as fairy tales, as if an Angel in a cave is any more believable than Buddha being birthed by a Lotus. Any literary criticism of the Koran proves is an eclectic mixture of the apocryphal Christian, Jewish and Persian literatures of the region with even Persian words being used in some passages when there were perfectly good Arabic words available. The winnowing of verses that were deemed authentic into the current Koran was a purely political affair done explicitly lest Islam descend into the divisions and squabbling that plagued the dominant Christian cultures of the time.
Atheists are at least consistent in their secular reasoning, but this guy laughs at the fairy tales that gave the world Abraham and Hagar, while concurrently believing in his Ishmaeli faith with the same conviction as a belief in gravity.
Projecting Arab supremacy.
The Title deed of Jerusalem and Israel belongs to God, not the Arabs. He is going to destroy all false religions, just like he did Baal.
The gospel was given to the Jews first and then the Gentiles. This battle isn’t just against Jews and Christians, its against God, and God is going to rectify the evil.
By trying to strip Jerusalem of its Jewish identity, the UN also tried to strip away Christian history and practice. These resolutions not only attack Israel and the jewish people, but every bible believing Christian. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany’s propaganda minister, famously said. “If you tell a big lie enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually believe it.” The lies involve re-writting history. The UN is. trying to rob the Jewish people of 4000 years of their history and erase 2000 years of Christian history. The UN resolutions contribute to the worldwide campaign to delegitimize Israel.
Which gospel? The “gospel of the kingdom?” (Matt. 4:23) Or, the gospel of the grace of God? (Acts 20:24; 1 Cor. 15:1-4) The gospel of the kingdom was Israel’s gospel; specifically, it belonged to the little flock. That gospel was not given to the Gentiles. That gospel belongs to Israel, but it has been temporarily suspended. The gospel given to the Gentiles, through the apostle Paul, is a different gospel. It had been a “secret.” See Eph. 3:1-9. The gospel of the kingdom and the gospel of the grace of God are not the same. The Bible must be rightly divided. II Timothy 2:15. It’s not about dividing truth from error. It’s about dividing truth from truth. The church the body of Christ and Israel must not be confused with one another. That the Christian Church thinks it’s Israel, or spiritual Israel, is Covenant Theology. And, it’s a greatly mistaken teaching.
The title deed of Jerusalem belongs to God and the Jews….not the Arabs. God is going to destroy every false religion just like he did Baal.
The Koran is a book of Persian fairy tales. What’s your point?
As the raw number and percentage of North American Muslims rise to the levels seen in France, Sweden, and Germany we are assuring our own destruction. It’s only a matter of time before those numbers reach critical mass, and all we can do is bolt for the exits.
And the Koran is a collection of rantings by a petty tyrant bent on revenge against those who opposed him, particularly Israel who refused to recognize him as a prophet,.
The revenge of the harvest god.
The Koran is the very recent book of made up stories about the made up harvest god. Are they even serious with their silly death cult? They can kill half the world and the ones left will STILL think they’re full of shi*t.
A podcaster, just yesterday, asked “Where is God?” The podcaster is of Jewish heritage. He has asked this question before. So, for the Jew, the Orthodox, the ultra Orthodox does Genesis (from ch. 12) to Malachi answer the question(s)? What is going on with Israel and the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
Maybe this Mr. Kakli ought to look a little closer to home. Islam’s whole claim to Jerusalem is based on Mohammad having had a dream in which he was taken for a tour of heaven and hell on a fiery horse ascending from Jerusalem. That’s it.
Among all the things for which Muslims can be criticized, this one about “made up stories” isn’t one. All religions proclaiming a fatherly God are based on “made up stories.” All cultures that we know (and have known) find a creation story to suit. There is nothing unique about that. What is unique is finding a culture that does not rely on a creation story.
I believe we have seen plenty of such deceptive arguments before:
Genesis 3: 1-7
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
The more things change, the more the satanic deception grows.
