Islam In Europe has the story.
Surprised? Surely these Muslim antisemites must have misunderstood their Religion of Tolerance, no?
Well, consider this Koranic exposition from IslamOnline (captured here):
Dear Sheikh! As-Salam `Alaykum. What, according to the Qur'an, are the main characteristics and qualities of Jews?Answer: [...]
As regards the question you posed, the following is the fatwa issued by Sheikh `Atiyyah Saqr, former Head of Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee, in which he states the following:
"The Qur'an has specified a considerable deal of its verses to talking about Jews, their personal qualities and characteristics. The Qur'anic description of Jews is quite impartial; praising them in some occasions where they deserve praise and condemning them in other occasions where they practice blameworthy acts. Yet, the latter occasions outnumbered the former, due to their bad qualities and the heinous acts they used to commit.
The Qur'an praises them on the verse that reads: " And verily We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture and the Command and the Prophethood, and provided them with good things and favored them above (all) peoples." (Al-Jathiyah:16) i.e. the peoples of their time.
Among the bad qualities they were characterized with are the following:
1. They used to fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah. Allah Almighty says: " That is because they say: We have no duty to the Gentiles. They speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly." (Al-`Imran:75) Also: "The Jews say: Allah's hand is fettered. Their hands are fettered and they are accursed for saying so. Nay, but both His hands are spread out wide in bounty. He bestoweth as He will." (Al-Ma`idah:64)
In another verse Almighty Allah says: "Verily Allah heard the saying of those who said, (when asked for contributions to the war): "Allah, forsooth, is poor, and we are rich! We shall record their saying with their slaying of the Prophets wrongfully and We shall say: Taste ye the punishment of burning!" (Al-`Imran:181)
2. They love to listen to lies. Concerning this Allah says: "and of the Jews: listeners for the sake of falsehood, listeners on behalf of other folk" (Al-Ma'idah: 41)
3. Disobeying Almighty Allah and never observing His commands. Allah says: "And because of their breaking their covenant, We have cursed them and made hard their hearts." (Al-Ma'idah: 13)
4. Disputing and quarreling. This is clear in the verse that reads: "Their Prophet said unto them: Lo! Allah hath raised up Saul to be a king for you. They said: How can he have kingdom over us when we are more deserving of the kingdom than he is, since he hath not been given wealth enough?" (Al-Baqarah: 247)
5. Hiding the truth and standing for misleading. This can be understood from the verse that reads: "...distort the Scripture with their tongues, that ye may think that what they say is from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture." (Al-`Imran: 78)
6. Staging rebellion against the Prophets and rejecting their guidance. This is clear in the verse: "And when ye said: O Moses! We will not believe in thee till we see Allah plainly." (Al-Baqarah: 55)
7. Hypocrisy. In a verse, we read: "And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe; but when they go apart to their devils they declare: Lo! we are with you; verily we did but mock." (Al-Baqarah: 14) In another verse, we read: "Enjoin ye righteousness upon mankind while ye yourselves forget (to practice it)? And ye are readers of the Scripture! Have ye then no sense?" (Al-Baqarah: 44)
8. Giving preference to their own interests over the rulings of religion and the dictates of truth. Allah says: "...when there cometh unto you a messenger (from Allah) with that which ye yourselves desire not, ye grow arrogant, and some ye disbelieve and some ye slay?" (Al-Baqarah: 87)
9. Wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them. This is clear in the verse that reads: "Many of the People of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them." (Al-Baqarah: 109)
10. They feel pain to see others in happiness and are gleeful when others are afflicted with a calamity. This is clear in the verse that reads: "If a lucky chance befall you, it is evil unto them, and if disaster strike you they rejoice thereat." (Al-`Imran:120)
11. They are known of their arrogance and haughtiness. They claimed to be the sons and of Allah and His beloved ones. Allah tells us about this in the verse that reads: "The Jews and Christians say: We are sons of Allah and His loved ones." (Al-Ma'idah: 18)
12. Utilitarianism and opportunism are among their innate traits. This is clear in the verse that reads: "And of their taking usury when they were forbidden it, and of their devouring people's wealth by false pretences." (An-Nisa': 161)
13. Their impoliteness and indecent way of speech is beyond description. Referring to this, the Qur'anic verse reads: "Some of those who are Jews change words from their context and say: "We hear and disobey; hear thou as one who heareth not" and "Listen to us!" distorting with their tongues and slandering religion. If they had said: "We hear and we obey; hear thou, and look at us" it had been better for them, and more upright. But Allah hath cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, save a few." (An-Nisa':46)
14. It is easy for them to slay people and kill innocents. Nothing in the world is dear to their hearts than shedding blood and murdering human beings. They never give up this trait even with the Messengers and the Prophets. Allah says: "...and slew the prophets wrongfully." (Al-Baqarah: 61)
15. They are merciless and heartless. In this meaning, the Qur'anic verse explains: "Then, even after that, your hearts were hardened and became as rocks, or worse than rocks, for hardness." (Al-Baqarah: 74)
16. They never keep their promises or fulfill their words. Almighty Allah says: "Is it ever so that when ye make a covenant a party of you set it aside? The truth is, most of them believe not." (Al-Baqarah: 100)
17. They rush hurriedly to sins and compete in transgression. Allah says: "They restrained not one another from the wickedness they did. Verily evil was that they used to do!" (Al-MA'idah:79)
18. Cowardice and their love for this worldly life are their undisputable traits. To this, the Qur'an refers when saying: "Ye are more awful as a fear in their bosoms than Allah. That is because they are a folk who understand not. They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified villages or from behind walls. Their adversity among themselves is very great. Ye think of them as a whole whereas their hearts are divers." (Al-Hashr:13-14) Allah Almighty also says: "And thou wilt find them greediest of mankind for life and (greedier) than the idolaters." (Al-Baqarah:96)
19. Miserliness runs deep in their hearts. Describing this, the Qur'an states: "Or have they even a share in the Sovereignty? Then in that case, they would not give mankind even the speck on a date stone." (An-Nisa':53)
20. Distorting Divine Revelation and Allah's Sacred Books. Allah says in this regard: "Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands anthem say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby." (Al-Baqara: 79)
After this clear explanation, we would like to note that these are but some of the most famous traits of the Jews as described in the Qur'an. They have revolted against the Divine ordinances, distorted what has been revealed to them and invented new teachings which, they claimed, were much more better than what has been recorded in the Torah. It was for these traits that they found no warm reception in all countries where they tried to reside. Rather, they would either be driven out or live in isolation. It was Almighty Allah who placed on them His Wrath and made them den of humiliation due to their transgression. Almighty Allah told us that He'd send to them people who'd pour on them rain of severe punishment that would last till the Day of Resurrection. All this gives us glad tidings of the coming victory of Muslims over them once Muslims stick to strong faith and belief in Allah and adopt the modern means of technology."
Though an agnostic, when I take a look at Judaism and compare it to Islam, I see a religion in Judaism which is almost infinitely superior in every respect to Islam.
When one reads Sheikh Saqr's monstrous screed, one discovers that it is a classic -indeed, clinical - example of Projection.
That is: each of his seventeen points - e.g. point # 'They used to fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah' {a Christian or Jew would instantly respond - 'but this is just what Muslims have done when they claim YHWH is really their 'allah', and make Him say and teach things we know He would never say or teach!'}, or points # 15 and 16 (merciless and heartless; never keep their promises - is manifestly and grossly false if used as a descriptor of Jews, but is only too horribly true if used as a descriptor of...Mohammedans.

Ah, the Never-ending Threat. Now I wonder why any zombie country would want to possess nuclear weapons? /sarc

I'm sure Honest Ibe Hooper & Brave Ahmed Rehab are on the case!
My initial reaction exactly. Classic projection.
All this gives us glad tidings of the coming victory of Muslims over them once Muslims stick to strong faith and belief in Allah and adopt the modern means of technology.
I saw that implied threat/promise too. Once we obtain enough infidel technology to destroy them we will use it to do just exactly that.
so, we are not to expect THEM - of the Religion of Peace - to extol the virtues of diversity and tolerance and acceptance.
instead we are to expect criticism, denigration, threats and outright condemnation ... never expressed with sympathy or compassion, but always with hate.
be awake

Hi Boneshack!
Never-ending Threat is right! ...and is there a cure for the zombie infection sweeping through our country? IMO, radicals must be met with a radical cure! ...but I'm not allowed to state what that is.
P.S. "Happy Thanksgiving!" ...and check out the new pic's on my Facebook. Take care!
I went to the link. I really wanted to ask a question, “Are the followers of Islam blaming the Jews for the prevalence of genetic errors caused by consanguine marriages in Dar al-Islam, or do the rest of us Infidels get to share some of that blame too?”
But, conveniently, they’re not taking any questions right now:
“`Eid Mubarak!
Dear visitors, we wish you a happy and blessed `Eid. Due to `Eid vacation, we will not be able to receive questions until Tuesday, December 1, 2009, at 14:00 GMT. Sorry for any inconvenience.”
dumbledoresarmy
Golden words! I couldn't have done it any better.
Thanks.
Howdy, Champ!
Thanks! You have a great day as well. Already saw your new pix of FB - very nice!
But understand why you can't openly state the "cure" for this zombie infection. Heck, no one can anymore.
I guess we'll just have to rely on a "self" cure when the cancer begins to spread and really cause pain. (You know what I mean - can't rely on the Obama health plan to take care of this.)
Have a fantastic Thanksgiving everyone!
Thanks, Boneshack! ...Hugz :)
....and 'Happy Thanksgiving' to All!!
Then there's Israel, the harbi, infidel state in dar-el-Islam. Woof.

------------------------------------------------
Indeed the Qur'anic description of Jews is quite impartial, they're always described as blameworthy and heinous. The sheikh's words, not mine. The problem the civilised world and the Mohammedans have got with each other is not the latters' lack of rational, logical thinking, it's the complete absence of it. Where normal people have got a mind, a brain, however you put it, Mohammedans only got a void...
It's so funny how they keep getting tangled up in contradictions, but they always turn a blind eye to the problem.
You're right, epistemology. Muslimthink is a wonder to behold. Who would believe that so many people could be so fooled for so long. Well, as Abraham Lincoln observed, some of the people can be fooled all of the time. America's greatest President didn't have Muslims in mind when he said this, but it is so very applicable to Mohammedans nonetheless. Not all Muslims are evil, but all of them have been fooled (and some of them have a capacity for hate not surpassed by any other ideology, either secular or spiritual).
This is the kind of information that is hidden from the average American. Those who write the policies in the DOD need to revisit their policies on Muslims being allowed to join the military. Because Muslims embrace the Qur'an, they should be listed on the Extremist Group list. All others on the Extremist Group list have written similar things. Why is this group an exception? Political correctness is going to kill us!

Well, I guess that settles it...Allah has a very dim view of Jews and want's his submitters to fight them and kill them...
The pious Mahoundian has no choice but to comply...
The Quran says
ALLAH is LORD OF THE WORLDS
Translations of the Qur'an, Surah 32:
YUSUFALI: (This is) the Revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt,- from the "LORD OF THE WORLDS".
----
The Bible tells us in Eph 6:12 ,
The "LORD OF THE WORLDS" is
the RULERS OF THE DARKNESS
Eph 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
RULERS OF THE DARKNESS of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Thanks a lot, dear Welligton. You taught me a new adage "Muslimthink is a wonder to behold", stored in my memory. The world is full of wonders, but not only of precious ones. Laila tov
In both Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, the two most canonical hadith collections, are hadiths about how the very trees and stones will tell Muslims to kill Jews:
Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6985:
And
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176:
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177:
This posting should be diseminated to every dhimmi rabbi and synagogue and every church who fosters 'interfaith'
dialogue. Every Jew should know this stuff -- so few do.
"18. Cowardice and their love for this worldly life are their undisputable traits...(t)hey will not fight against you in a body save in fortified villages or from behind walls."
Recently, I read an informative and entertaining book titled "Israel Is Real". The above "description" reminded me of the history of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, as detailed in the book. The Koranic verses that support the claims of #18 were used by the Arabs to get the "Palestinians" to vacate their land and join the struggle to eliminate Israel. Unable to dispute the Koran, they were easily convinced that the war would be short and easy, and per the Koran, they would share in the spoils. Obviously, the Koran was wrong, then and in subsequent examples. It was the Muslims who fled and surrendered in fear and cowardice, despite tremendous advantages in numbers and technical superiority.
I believe this is the very core and foundation of Islam. It is also, as someone above has spoken, in the Word of God (Bible). All through the O.T. God states his position regarding anyone who would oppose, hate, slander and kill his people. It is just the opposite of what allah would say. In the N.T. it is not mentioned directly except in Revelation. Christians are a close second to their hate however.
I have used this knowledge through the years in identifying a nation, group or person to determine if they are friend or foe. It has always proved correct over nearly 40 years.
Islam is against the true and living God and his Christ. Mohammad is dead but Christ is alive and is coming again. Islam take a thread of truth and weave deception through and through.
O.T. Just finished watching a PBS show about the attack Mumbai, India. The attackers were in constant communication with their handlers in Pakistan. What sticks out to me is that the killers were in the dark ages culturally. They could not even operate a water faucet because they had never seen one. Yet they knew how to use AK-47's and cell phones. If it does not kill or used to kill they at a loss.
Bada bing!
Take a cigar.
Does anyone out there see this as a possible scenario?
Mohammed may have started out wanting to be a true man of God. No doubt he had heard many Bible stories. However, he could not read or write. He could not read the stories for himself. He could only repeat them as he remembered them. He was an easy target for the "father of all lies". Satan revels in imitating God and wants everyone to worship and glorify him. Satan deceived Mohammed into believing he was hearing from the angel Gabriel. Mohammed may have simply been a victim of Satan's lies and deception. We know he wasn't a prophet, because God spoke directly to all the true prophets. Plus, as dumbledoresarmy points out, Allah does not exhibit the character of God. YHWH would never say what's written in the Koran.
What the muslims did was complied all the texts they could get their little halal hands on inorder to discredit the texts that came before theirs. Thus, Islam could then claim they did the complete research on this matter and got it logically correct where as the Christians and Jews did not. Then they could call them lairs even though they're lairs. Why? All inorder to show their superiority over another.
As an Atheist I tend to think they have it wrong. However, I will stand with the christian and jew in this fight before I ever stand with a muslim. Why? Because they don't want to kill me for disagreeing.
"Mohammed may have simply been a victim of Satan's lies and deception."
Hi, OMGNowWhat! I agree that satan deceived mohammad, but that mohammad chose this deception.
I don't think that anyone can be victimized by satan, but through a willingness on the individuals part partakes in evil due to our free will.
Happy Thanksgiving! :)
Right on Dda, when I saw those points, my immediate response was as well...
PROJECTON! How can they project their hate with such a straight face...?
Thank God, and today is Thanksgiving here in America, that I was NOT born Muslim.
@Champ & OMGNowWhat
Regarding our free will. It is all important and God never violates it. Without free will there can be no love.
I will post some scripture showing man's free will and God's reaction to our choose.
Rom 1:22-24 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
The operative phrase is "God also gave them up". Man made a choose and God reacted in kind. The uncleanness, lusts and dishonor were in their hearts and just naturally came out because they had refused the grace of God.
This is how the real true and living God deals with men. It is much more civil and appropriate than the false god of the Koran.
OH, and
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
everyone!
The Qur'anic description of Jews is quite impartial; praising them in some occasions where they deserve praise and condemning them in other occasions where they practice blameworthy acts...
The Qur'an praises them on the verse that reads: "And verily We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture and the Command and the Prophethood, and provided them with good things and favored them above (all) peoples." (Al-Jathiyah:16) i.e. the peoples of their time.
..............................
Well, this is disingenuous. The above line, from Sura 45:126 (Kneeling) is *not* praise, but a threat—this become clear when one reads Sura 45:17:
"We have given them herein clear commandments. Ironically, they did not dispute this until the knowledge had come to them. This is due to jealousy on their part. Surely, your Lord will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they have disputed. "
In other words, the Qur'an claims that Jews were given every advantage—but blew it through their transgressions (unlike Muslims), and now they were all going to burn in Hell.
Quite "impartial", I'm sure...
18. Cowardice and their love for this worldly life are their undisputable traits...(t)hey will not fight against you in a body save in fortified villages or from behind walls."
With a little tweaking, one can use this to recognize and define Islamic thugs...
18. Cowardice and their fear of this worldly life are their undisputable traits... They (Islamic thugs) will not fight against you until they out number you six-to-one, and have heard a rumor of a rumor that someone said something to offend Allah or Muhammed.
Without tweaking, as others have said, this is in-your-face projection.
Great scripture reference, Im.mad.as.HELL! ...and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving :)
Thank you for the scripture references, and I totally agree. Mohammed chose to believe Satan's lies via his own free will.
I guess it would be more appropriate to say Mohammed was an easy target for Satan because Mohammed was way out of balance to begin with - all narcissists are.
[Be well balanced, for your adversary, the devil, roams around like a roaring lion seeking those whom he can devour.]
That tells me Satan can't just get a stronghold in anyone's mind. The person has to be out of balance to open the door to Satan's influence in the first place.
