Two of the Islamic preachers who concluded the Eid al-Adha festivities, the second holiest festival in Islam, at Martim Moniz Square and Alameda Afonso Henriques, delivered extremist and threatening messages regarding non-Muslims.
The preacher at Martim Moniz emphasized that the festival was held without any obstacles and that "They (????) supported us in every way and everywhere." He added that in this country there are many opportunities for the service of Islam (...) If we work with sincerity for the religion, then certainly the (Islamic) religion will be established again on this land."
The second preacher, in his closing speech of the festivities at Alameda Afonso Henriques, prayed that Allah grant victory to Muslims in Palestine and Gaza and "overthrow polytheism and the polytheists and the rebellion against the religion in our lands and in all other lands of the Muslims, a united and splendid nation until the Day of Judgment" - the Ummah, the Muslim nation that will encompass the whole world, under Muslim rule.
"Oh (Allah) guide our rulers and make, oh God, our rulers among those who fear Thee and love Thy Messenger and who follow Thy allies," the preacher added.
"Oh God, grant us victory over the religion," the preacher continued, without mentioning which religion the victory was intended against - it being, however, obvious that it refers to the Christian religion. At the end of the speech, the preacher asked for Allah's blessing for all Muslims "on your land and on your sea, the nation of Muhammad" - a direct reference to the concept of the Ummah, a term that specifically refers to a world dominated by the Muslim religion, to the global community of believers of Islam, united above any geographical borders, linguistic barriers, nationalities, or political divisions.
Full transcription of the speech given at Alameda Afonso Henriques
Allah, please grant victory to the Muslims, oh Allah, grant victory to the Muslims in Palestine and Gaza and overthrow polytheism, the polytheists, and the rebellion against the religion in our lands and in all other lands of the Muslims, a united and splendid nation until the Day of Judgment.
Oh God, grant us security in our homes and guide our rulers and make, oh God, our rulers among those who fear Thee and love Thy Messenger and who follow Thy allies, by Thy mercy, oh Most Merciful of the merciful. Oh God, grant us victory over the religion and protect the treasures of the Muslims and make us among those who cling to the religion of Muhammad, may God's peace and blessings be upon him, and follow his sunnah, and obey his sharia, and grant us his intercession.
Oh God, forgive us and the believing men and believing women, and the Muslim men and Muslim women, the living among them and the dead. Oh God, do not forsake the relatives in the graves, in their graves, and forgive them and settle their affairs and pay their debts and heal the sick and give them health, security, success, and guidance. And for all Muslims on your land and on your sea, the nation of Muhammad, may God bless him.
Full transcription of the preacher's statements at Martim Moniz
By the mercy of Allah Ta'ala, He blessed us, in a non-Muslim country, in a very beautiful way, under the open sky we held the Eid congregation, without any kind of obstacle. They (????) supported us in every way and everywhere. This is a great inspiration for our religion. In this country, there are many opportunities for the service of Islam. If we work with sincerity for the religion, then certainly the (Islamic) religion will be established again in this land, God willing. May Allah Almighty accept us all as propagators of the religion.

Two preachers with messages of intolerance
Last Wednesday's celebration was the festival of Eid al-Adha, the second holiest in Islam, which celebrates the episode in which Abraham is called by God to sacrifice his own son. These celebrations are notable because, for the first time in Portugal, the Islamic Community of Lisbon had nothing to do with the celebration, which was organized solely by the Bangladeshi Islamic Community.
Sheikh David Munir, the iman of Lisbon's Mosque was accepted as the supreme religious authority by about 40,000 believers, most of whom have lived in Portugal for dozens of years, many of them from Mozambique, others already holding Portuguese nationality. Muslims from Bangladesh currently number around 100,000.
There is a schism among Muslims in Portugal, with the Bangladeshi community refusing the religious authority of Sheikh David Munir. Another example of this, in addition to celebration of the Eid al-Adha, is the fact that the Bangladeshi Islamic Community already controls 14 of the approximately 60 Islamic mosques/places of worship in Portugal.
