Mosab Hassan Yousef’s call for Muslims to leave the United States at the Jewish American Summit
At the August 30, 2026 Jewish American Summit, Mosab Hassan Yousef said he did not want Muslims in America and told them to leave and reform their countries of origin. Critics called the remarks and audience applause anti-Muslim bigotry.
Case period:
Published by The Dispute Index editorial teamPublished Updated
Overview
Yousef appeared in the summit's closing session, moderated by Jonah Platt, after a program that included political, cultural, and pro-Israel speakers. His remarks moved from warnings about Islamic political influence to categorical statements about Muslims in the United States, profanity directed at Muslims, and contempt for Islam's scripture and prophet. Video excerpts show applause from part of the audience. CAIR, MPAC, the Nexus Project, journalists, and commentators condemned the remarks or the decision to platform them. Summit organizers later declined a reporter's request to respond to CAIR's criticism. Gad Saad's adjacent statements about Islam provide context but do not expressly endorse the expulsion statement.

Arguments
Documented position
The Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
The remarks excluded Muslims as a group
The wording identifies Muslims categorically rather than limiting the demand to violent extremists, foreign agents, or advocates of a particular political program. Saying that Muslims are not wanted in America, directing them to leave the country, insulting their countries of origin, and denigrating core religious figures supports the characterization of the remarks as hostility toward Muslims as a group. Audience applause and institutional platforming are relevant to the controversy because critics argue they normalized the exclusionary message.
Limit of this argument
Yousef framed part of the discussion around Islamic political dominance and national security. Criticism of a religion, ideology, or political movement is not by itself proof of hostility toward every adherent.

Editorial analysis
A narrower reading treats the speech as a polemic against an ideology
A narrower reading treats Yousef's remarks as an intentionally extreme polemic against Islam as a belief system and against perceived Islamist political influence, not as a proposed legal program or an instruction to harm Muslims. References to reforming countries and preventing Islamic dominance supply some ideological and political context for that reading.
Limit of this argument
The quoted formulation does not maintain that narrower distinction: it says Muslims are not wanted in America and tells them collectively to leave. That categorical language substantially weakens an interpretation confined to violent extremism or political Islamism.

David N. Myers and Salam Al-Marayati, Los Angeles Times: the Jewish American Summit "turned into a platform for anti-Muslim hate"
Relevant passage: Body, the section on the summit and the following paragraph on the organizers' responsibility.
Excerpt
"Rather than a celebration of Jewish life, the summit turned into a platform for anti-Muslim hate. ... Significant responsibility rests with the organizers who gave this individual a platform at the event. It is never a good look to bring in former members of a group to validate your distaste for the group itself."
About this source
Co-bylined guest opinion. Myers is a professor of Jewish history at UCLA; Al-Marayati is president and co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council. The piece quotes three of Yousef's lines directly, says significant responsibility rests with the organizers who gave him a platform, and describes the crowd as applauding his remarks.

Robert Spencer, PJ Media: "Ex-Muslim Criticizes Islam, and for Leftists, It's Time for a Virtue-Signaling Party"
Relevant passage: Body, the paragraph following the block quotation of Yousef's remarks, and the penultimate substantive paragraph.
Excerpt
"Many will find his words about wanting Muslims out of America to be too strong, but no one can honestly say they're based on bigotry or ignorance, or even on dislike of Muslims as human beings. He is speaking this way because he has firsthand experience regarding the brutality, inhumanity, and oppression of Islamic law."

NewGround leaders call for an interfaith response to Yousef's summit remarks
Relevant passage: Opening substantive paragraphs condemning the words and applause; concluding appeal for institutional safeguards and interfaith work
About this source
Jointly authored opinion by NewGround's executive director Aziza Hasan and associate director Andrea Hodos. They identify their leadership capacities, condemn Yousef's language and audience applause, and urge dialogue and structural safeguards. The statement is represented once with both authors named, not counted as two independently observed reactions. Their assessment that dehumanizing rhetoric can contribute to violence is an attributed causal argument, not evidence of a new violent incident.

We described the council as criticizing Sures's response to the summit. The Daily Californian reports that the council criticized him for staying silent about Yousef's remarks, and quotes the council calling that silence "not an isolated concern." The article describes no response by Sures for the council to object to. The summary now says the criticism concerns his silence. The September 7 entry in the case timeline carried the same wording and has been corrected as well.
