re: Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef’s Proclamation Against Saying ‘Shema Yisrael’ in a Mosque

Rabbi Avi Grossman writes:

Aside from the deeply scandalous and heretical claim of the so-called Chief Rabbi that we respect other religions and their places of worship, such that the soldiers who used the Jenin mosque’s PA system for qabbalath ‘ol malchuth shamayim should be disciplined, it is even more so insulting to our intelligence: yes the place was built for “worship”, but in practice it was used as a base for their paramilitary organization, just like the vast majority of their ostensible places of worship.
