The Anti-Defamation League expressed "deep concern" Tuesday over a sermon by a Houston iman that included references to killing Jews.

The ADL said  that in a sermon posted on YouTube, Imam Raed Saleh Al-Rousan of the Tajweed Institute in west Houston stated:"Judgment Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews. The Muslims will kill the Jews."

According to the ADL, the speech came two days after President Donald Trump announced his plan to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Israel's capital.

Dayan Gross, ADL Southwest Regional Director, said the sermon reflects hatred and has no place in any mosque or house of worship.

"We are deeply troubled that a local Imam used the Jerusalem announcement as a pretext to scapegoat Jews and call for their deaths and Israel's destruction," he said in a statement. "We know that the ideas espoused by Imam Al-Rousan do not reflect those of the vast majority of Muslims in our area, many of whom are our partners in promoting interfaith relations and who have told us they are appalled by this rhetoric. We appeal to all Houstonians to not generalize or attack the Muslim community as a whole for the words of one individual."

The sermon was posted on YouTube but has since been removed.

The Tajweed Institute could not be immediately be reached for comment.
