Abou-Nagie was alleged to have openly preached against democracy and other Western values, in a video proclaiming "Democracy is against Islam. And it is the opposite of Islam." He also opined that "If someone is married and commits adultery, he must be stoned." Abou Nagie has also said that homosexuals must be executed in order to "protect Muslims," and proclaimed that "disbelievers" will burn in hell. An attempt to prosecute Abou-Nagie on charges of incitement of religious hatred failed in 2012.
