Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslims in France “far likelier to espouse anti-Semitic views than the general population”

Nov 17, 2014 9:11 am By Robert Spencer

islam_for_france-594x350Could this have something to do with the fact that the Qur’an says that the Jews will be the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82)? Naaah. Couldn’t be. To think such a thing would be “Islamophobic.”

“French Muslims see Jews controlling nation’s economy, media,” JTA, November 16, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

(JTA) — New surveys conducted in France suggested that Frenchmen of Muslim origin were far likelier to espouse anti-Semitic views than the general population.

In the two surveys, which were conducted in recent months, 74 percent of respondents who self-identified as observant Muslims agreed with the statement that Jews have too much influence on French economics, compared to 25 percent in the general population.

The assertion that Jews control the media received an approval rating of 23 percent in the general population group and 70 percent among practicing Muslims.

The surveys were released Sunday at the fifth annual national convention in Paris of the CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish communities and organizations. A total of 1,580 people older than 16 were polled after Sept. 25 by the IFOP polling company and the Foundation for Political Innovation.

In the first survey, 1,005 respondents from the general population answered a series of questions about their attitudes toward Jews. Their answers were compared with responses several days later to the same questions by 575 people who said they were either Muslim or were born to a Muslim family.

Among the general population, 32 percent of respondents agreed with the statement that “Jews use to their own benefit their status as victims of the Nazi genocide” compared to 56 percent of respondents from the Muslim group and among those who voted for the far-right National Front party in 2012. Among voters for the Front de Gauche far-left party, the assertion had a 51 percent approval rating.

The existence of “an international Zionist conspiracy” was endorsed by 16 percent of the general population and by 44 percent of Muslim respondents. The same figure among Front de Gauche voters called Zionism “a racist ideology” compared to 23 percent in the general population.

In the general population group, 46 percent of respondents endorsed the description of Zionism as “an ideology that proclaims the right of the Jews to have their own country on their ancestors’ land.”

    Lo, a revelation.
    An inspired puff of wind bent back the sign in the middle.

      Why are these signs written in English?

        My guess is that the page was translated into English.

    The Muslim population of Europe is extremely anti-Semitic because they read the sayings of Mohammed, a bitter Jew-baiter.

    The modern Muslim bitterness has nothing to do with Palestine, but everything to do with imitating Mohammed, ‘the perfect man’.

      “The modern Muslim bitterness has nothing to do with Palestine, but everything to do with imitating Mohammed, ‘the perfect man’.”

      Exactly so, mortimer. Palestine is just another lame excuse. The truth is: they are imitating Muhammad, the “Perfect Man of islam.”

      Or should I say…
      Mahomet, “L’Homme Parfait de l’Islam.”

    I think that liberal Jews are smarter than liberal Christians when it comes to seeking coexistence wishful thinking. I suspect that Jews are less likely to blurt out that they have relatives living anywhere in the “Middle East” while expecting mutual friendship and peace.

    (Hypothetically speaking)
    What if a Muslim approaches the gates of heaven and the angel guarding the gate is wearing a yamaka?

    “Frenchmen of Muslim origin???”

    Sorry – you can be one or the other, but not both.

    You can’t be serious.
    Please point to the violent attacks on Jews happening daily, committed by the far-right. I’ll wait.
    Even Jews in France are VOTING FOR THE NATIONAL FRONT in growing numbers due to a greater fear from the Muslim threat. You are ignorant.

      The term has more than one meaning. In the sense of being hated along with Jews, no.

    OT:
    Two muslims die and turn up at the pearly gates. St Peter looks them up and down, “sorry but we don’t let your type in here, you’ll have to join your prophet downstairs”, he grins pointing downward.
    The muslims respond, “but we never did anybody any harm. I worked at a kebab shop and Abdo here sold booze and newspapers from a corner shop. We culturally enriched our host nation. C’mon please let us in”.
    St Peter gets off his chair, grumbling and goes to see if God is willing to make an exception for these two mohammedans.
    “NO WAY”, says God, “they had their chance and they blew it, quite literally. Send them downstairs”.
    St Peter walks back to the gates to deliver the news.
    A few moments later he arrives back, panting.
    “God, God, they’ve gone”
    “What, the muslims”? asks God.
    “No, the gates”!

    Islam is intrinsically anti-Semitic. Jews are apes and pigs it says in the unholy Koran. The Muslim community in France is especially anti-Semitic. A couple of years ago a French Jew was kidnapped and cruelly tortured, while the muzzies were chanting their Allahu fuckbar crap. They also had the courtesy to call his mom, so she could partake in the ordeal of her son. Nice contemporaries these muzzies are.

    Arik Sharon appealed to the French Jews to go to Israel, that was years ago. The French aren’t anti-Semitic but the muzzies are.

    Pumbar, the joke is excellent. It’s stored.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      So you are saying Islam is the saviour of the Jewish faith? What about the verses in the Quran that tell Muslims to kill the Jews wherever they may be found? Why save the Jews just to wipe them out later????….unless it’s more beneficial to collect jizya from them. One sentence from Allah in the Quran over-rides all you have posted here, Christy. You know that, don’t you?

      • CogitoErgoSum says

        Nov 19, 2014 at 1:57 pm

        Christy, you also mention that Jews seem to do well when Muslims are doing well. I think it is likely that you have that reversed: Muslims do well when Jews do well. When the Jews are in charge of things, the Muslims are treated well under the laws of the Jews. But when the Jews are not in charge but doing well, they are able to pay more in jizya under the laws of the Muslims…. so the Muslims do well. Think about it. The Muslims can’t lose when the Jews do well, eh?

    In the photo I see a sign in the back that reads …”the religion of the devil”

    Isn’t *that* the truth! …islam is a satanic death cult!
