Omeirat was contrite as he resigned: “I regret what I said. It was the wrong choice of words and no one should say something like that.” Why not, Omar? After all, it’s in the Qur’an — own it!
Qur’an 2:65 — Allah transforms disobedient Jews into apes: “And well you know there were those among you [Jews] that transgressed the Sabbath, and We said to them, ‘Be you apes, miserably slinking!'”
Qur’an 5:59-60 — Jews cursed, made into apes and swine: “Say: ‘People of the Book, do you blame us for any other cause than that we believe in Allah, and what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down before, and that most of you are ungodly?’ Say: ‘Shall I tell you of a recompense with Allah, worse than that? Whomsoever Allah has cursed, and with whom He is wroth, and made some of them apes and swine, and worshippers of idols — they are worse situated, and have gone further astray from the right way.'”
Qur’an 7:166 — Jews are apes: “And when they [Jews] turned in disdain from that forbidding We said to them, ‘Be you apes, miserably slinking!'”
“Politician quits after ‘Jewish pigs’ slur online,” The Local, August 5, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann):
A Swedish politician is facing sharp criticism after he wrote on Facebook that “Jewish pigs” are responsible for mass murders in Gaza.
Omar Omeirat, Social Democrat candidate for the town council of Filipstad, central Sweden, gave a speech in the town on Friday evening advocating diversity and openness.
On Saturday he sang a very different tune.
“The entire Muslim world is sitting and watching while our brothers and sisters in Palestine are slaughtered by the Jewish pigs,” Omeritat wrote on his Facebook page.
“May Allah strengthen those who defend Palestine, and be merciful towards the dead Muslims. Amen.”
His Facebook page also included a flag used by the Islamist group Isis, local paper NWT reported.
The post quickly became public knowledge, and the young politician came under fire for his choice of words.
“I called Omar about what he had written, and he said that he had watched a film where Palestinian women and children were murdered by Jews,” Åsa Hååkman Feldt, Social Democrat spokeswoman in Filipstad, told The Local.
Omeirat quickly regretted the post, and updated his Facebook status to an apology.
“He never meant to judge people who are Jews, Christians, or anything else,” Feldt explained. “He just meant to judge Israel as a state.”
On Tuesday it was announced he would be stepping down from his position.
“I regret what I said,” Omeirat told Sveriges Television. “It was the wrong choice of words and no one should say something like that.”
Feldt confirmed that Omeirat had decided to leave politics, and said it was entirely his own choice.
“Of course we condemn his statement,” Feldt told The Local. “But it is Omar himself who has decided that he should take the consequences for his actions and leave the party.”
Feldt called the situation “unusual”, saying that the most common reason to step down is sickness. She explained that the town’s voting slips are already printed and that Omeirat’s name will still be on the list, but that he will not be eligible for a position in autumn elections.
“You really have to think about what you write on Facebook, especially as a politician,” Feldt added. “It’s a public record and there are consequences.”
Last month Social Democrat party leader Stefan Löfven was criticized for expressing his thoughts about Gaza, when he wrote on Facebook that “Israel has the right to defend itself”.
Israel has a right to defend itself? Horror of horrors! If saying that can get you “criticized” in Sweden, then Sweden as a free state is not long for this world.

What a shame to lose sight of this guy in the future — judging by the vid capture, he was a snazzy dresser.

Mr. Omeirat has misunderstood his great, compassionate religion: Every madrassa pupil knows, that the christians are the pigs, the jews are the apes. Not the other way.
GP says
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia
in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many
countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. ”

‘I am sorry for being a Muslim’ is the true implication of his resignation statement. And so he should be.
Angemon says
Wait. Jews can train pigs that well? Can they train them to ride a bike too?
Angemon says
Whoa, messed up the blockquote tags. The following paragraph should have been outside the blockquote since it’s not a quote from the article:
“Of course he did. That way it’s very likely the case won’t ever be brought up again and no one would consider assuming that other muslims share his views. And the islamization carries on as planned until we reach a time where muslim politicians in Sweden will step down and apologize for not calling Israelis “Jewish pigs”.“
Michael Copeland says
As Allah made Jews and/or Christians pigs muslims should have no problem with a pig roast, as in the BBC courtyard.

“The post quickly became public knowledge, and the young politician came under fire for his choice of words.”
“Young”?? He’s about the ugliest old fart I’ve laid eyes on recently.
And that sanctimonious demeanor. Yikes! Choice of words? Hey, comes natural to those so ignorant of the modern world as to believe in Islam. Simple mind; simple thoughts (or none at all more likely); simple, hateful expressions.
PatNCats says
That Old Geezer is the politician that resigned? Or “ugliest old fart’ does fit the photo! I thought someone said ‘young’. Of course he is only talking from the koran, the greatest self-help book for barbarians from the 7th century backwaters, now used to murder non-believers worldwide!
SilverLining says
The aforementioned geezer in the photo is not the politician. It’s some imam quoting the related quranic scripture, courtesy of MEMRI.
The young bearded road apple is not pictured.

Even the GEICO pig actually looks like a pig. The ‘pig Jews’ must be hiding behind the only non-talking tree, the Tree of the Jews.
It would be funny if not so deadly dangerous. Not sure if gladly or sadly, I increasingly find myself used to the world’s insanity and see humor in it as a defense mechanism.
Keith says
He has decided to quit after calling Jews pigs so that he can spend more time on his annual Jihad. This year he is off to the new Islamic State!
SpiritOf1683 says
He should be stripped of his Swedish nationality, put on a prison ship and sent out to a suitable Islamic hellhole, along with thousands more Muslim thugs and rioters who turn Swedish towns and cities into hellholes, especially for Jews.

allah aka satan = islam
And talkin’ smack is what I’ve come to expect from allah and his followers …
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” — John 8:44

The picture in the article, although relevant, is not of Omar Omeirat.

If he had been a US politician, the campaign contributions would be flowing in and Eric Holder would be stepping up to protect him from the Islamophobes.
The #1 enemy and killers of Muslims… are Muslims.
Phantom says
I love semantics. “A poor choice of words,” huh? Note this says nothing about the INTENT of the words, only their choice. So he meant everything he said, only regretting the way he said it. Or in other words, he does not regret being an anti-Semite, only the choice of words he used to describe his blind, savage, unreasoning, culturally-induced hatred.
Henry says
If the Muslim tide in Sweden were somewhat higher, there would have been no ‘regrets’.
