Hussain Yee or Hussein Yee (born 1950), is a Malaysian Islamic preacher and an International Da'i of Islam as well as the President of Pertubuhan Al-Khaadem in Malaysia. ^{[2] [3]}

Background

Early years

Born into a Buddhist Malaysian Chinese family, Hussain Yee converted to Islam at the age of 18. Yee studied under the scholar Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani. ^[4]

Positions held

Hussain Yee is the Founder and President of Al-Khaadem. ^[5]

Among other positions, he spent a year in 1980 as an Advisor for the Cambodian Islamic Refugee Organisation in Paris, France. He has also served as a Counsellor at PERKIM Kuala Lumpur and as the Director of Da’wah for the Islamic Center in Hong Kong from 1984 to 1985. ^[6]

Controversy and response

In 2015, he gave a keynote address at the Australian Islamic Peace Conference (AIPC), which was attended by religious leaders from Jewish and Christian faiths. ^[7]

Yee has said that Muslims terrorists were not responsible for the September 11 attacks on the United States, just based on "suspicion". ^{[8] [9]}

Hussain Ye later responded to the accusations and denied ever saying that "Jews were behind 9/11 attack", and accused The Australian newspaper of "inept journalism". ^[7]

During a 2006 lecture broadcast on Peace TV ^[10] however, Yee has stated that the Jews have strayed from Allah's commandments, and like doing things that are "very extreme," and that the most extremist nation are the Jews. He went on to explain that since Jews break their promises to Allah, they cannot be expected to respect the United Nations or to be dependable: "If they want to kill, they kill because they believe that they are the chosen people...and blood that is not Jewish is like an animal." He said this is the reason that they kill Palestinians every day.

In the same lecture, Yee said that Christians "always play around with the world."
