VIDEO: Rebel fight back against pro-terrorist "Arab Idol" pop star Mohammed Assaf

UPDATE: Petition delivery meets resistance from London’s city-owned venue

Hateful Idol Mohammed Assaf visited London, Ontario, recently to perform in a city-owned venue. David Menzies was there to expose Assaf's disturbing statements via Rebel's mobile billboard.

Mohammed Assaf was the winner of “Arab Idol” in 2013 — that’s the Middle East version of American Idol. And now he’s on a five-city concert tour in Canada.

Trouble is, Assaf’s music is explicitly pro-terrorist.

For example, his song, “Ya Yumma”, is one long propaganda video promoting violence against Israel. While showing videos of riots against Jews, Assaf calls on Muslims to rise up and “fight the occupiers”. He calls terrorists “martyrs” and tells young Palestinians to “fight back” to conquer Jerusalem.

And if you think that’s bad, on his Facebook page — that has 10 million followers — Assaf posts pictures of terrorists who attack Jews, and calls them “holy martyrs”.

No wonder when Assaf first arrived in Canada this week, he was greeted by Nazih Khatatba — a Holocaust denier.*

So what can we do?

I don’t believe in censorship, even for bigots like Assaf.

But I can think of two things we need to do right now.

1. On Sunday night, Assaf is performing at Centennial Hall in London, Ontario. That’s owned by the city.

I want to deliver a massive petition to Centennial Hall’s management on Sunday night, with thousands of names of Canadians who object to a pro-terrorist singer swanning through Canada. I want London’s city council to know the kind of company they’re keeping.

2. I want to show London the truth about Assaf — including any concert-goers who might not know how odious he is.

I’ve rented a billboard truck. It’s like a jumbotron from a sports venue, but it’s on the back of a truck!

And we can program it with words, pictures, anything. I want to load it up with facts about Assaf, and drive it around the city before the concert — showing citizens the truth. And confronting concert-goers with those facts, too.

The cost of the petition is free, obviously — please sign it by clicking below. I’ll deliver it on Sunday night.

The cost of the truck is about $1,600, plus gas money to and from London for me and my camera man. All told, we’ll probably need about $1,800 to do this — can you please help me out?

That’s my plan — it respects freedom of expression. But it shames Centennial Hall and its owners, the City of London. And it forces Assaf’s concert-goers to come face to face with their star’s hate.

If you agree with my plan, please sign the petition below.

*Clarification: Nazih Khatatba told an Arabic-language TV broadcast that Jewish suffering in Europe was a “fairy tale” and that Jews had done far worse to Palestinians. And he published in his newspaper a statement that Judaism a “terrorist religion". However, after public criticism, Khatatba published a Facebook post in which he acknowledged that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.”
