Sudanese cleric Abd Al-Jalil Al-Karouri said in a Friday sermon that aired on Sudan TV that the murderer who killed 49 men, women and children at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand was working for the Jews. He insisted that the worst and strongest enemies of the Muslims are Jews, and that the attack was meant to incite Christians and Muslims against one another.

The Muslim cleric added that the Jews are the enemies of both Christians and Muslims, since they killed John the Baptist, tried to poison the Prophet Mohammed, and admitted that they killed Jesus.
