But remember: if you point out that Islamic Jew-hatred is in the Qur’an, you’re a racist, bigoted Islamophobe.
“PA TV sermon: Jews are ‘apes and pigs,'” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, February 5, 2015:
In Friday’s sermon on official Palestinian Authority TV, the cleric demonized Jews as “apes and pigs.”
“Many Muslims are being harmed these days by a group whose hearts were sealed by Allah. ‘He made of them [Jews] apes and pigs and slaves of deities’ (Quran, 5:60). They are harming the livelihood of the believers [Muslims]… They withhold their [the Palestinians’] money and collect interest on it.”
[Official PA TV, Jan. 30, 2015]A few months ago, a Palestinian youth recited a poem on official PA TV, also demonizing Jews as apes and pigs, as Palestinian Media Watch reported:
“You have been condemned to humiliation and hardship
O Sons of Zion, O most evil among creations
O barbaric apes, O wretched pigs”
[Official PA TV, Sept. 12, 2014]The Quran in three places (Suras 2:65, 5:60, and 7:166) tells of Allah turning Jews into apes and/or pigs. In one place, it is explicitly about Jews:
“And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the Sabbath, and We said to them, ‘Be apes, despised.'” (Sura 2:65, Sahih International translation)The PA uses these sources to promote religious hatred against Jews and Israelis. See special section on PMW’s website.
In Friday’s sermon, the cleric also said that Jews’ “hearts were sealed by Allah.” Attributing this expression to Jews is likewise religious hate speech based on the Quran (Surah 2:7). Significantly, in the Quran the verse does not refer to Jews but to non-believers, and teaches that certain non-believers cannot improve because Allah has “sealed” their evil nature.
“Indeed, those who disbelieve – it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them – they will not believe. Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment.” (2:6- 2:7)By applying this verse to the Jews, the PA cleric is saying that it is the Jews who have an evil nature that is “sealed” and cannot improve, and therefore are destined for “great punishment.”…

PA is a s…hole and it is all because of Islam. Period. m

This is just more of Big Mo’s Koranic gutter talk crap. They must have taken out Big Mo’s cuss words and inserted pigs and apes. Islam puts everyone in the gutter. Islam is such a “great” religion. Jus suis Jew.

I say this in all seriousness, not to be mean or a jerk, but there seems to be a problem in their thresh hold for anger & mental capacity. I think with a limited population in a confined geographical area there has been a high degree of in-breeding that has caused this just like in certain areas of the US until the 30s and 40s. The average Palestinian in the PA and Gaza that hears a sermon like this actually believes it and other craziness.
Michael Copeland says
The muslim HAS TO say he believes it. If he express disbelief he is an apostate: his Brothers become his Executioners, being required to kill one who apostatizes from Islam, and being free of legal penalty for doing so “since it is killing someone who deserves to die”.
Salah says
Exactly so, Michael. Islam is a huge prison where Muslims are both the prisoners and the jailers.
Here’s what Muslims do when they use their God-given brains and feel relatively SAFE:

If the PA don’t like it where they are then why don’t the leave and go to Iran, Iraq, Egypt or some other Muslim country. They most certainly have plenty of room. Oh yea, I forgot that ALL the other countries want nothing to do with them. Israel gave them a home out of the kindness of their heart, and look what that got them. Palestinians are squatters on land that God gave the Jews and they should never forget it.
The whole world should stop siding with the PA and support Israel, our only (true) ally in that region.

With the heading of this above article it’s a good time to reiterate that one of the reasons that the Koran teaches that Jews are “apes and swine” [2:65; 7:166; 5:60] has very much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. For a time Muhammad has lived among the Jewish people and he liked them at first. Later when they would not accept his claim of being a prophet he then took a strong dislike to them that turned into bitterness and hate towards them. So in his bitterness and hate he spoke many terrible and awful things about then. Then, in time, these words of his bitterness and hate went into the composition of the Koran. Thus from reading the words of the Koran many Muslims dislike and even hate the Jewish people. Furthermore ,as a Christian I can keyboard that Muhammad really might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is Muhammad was NOT a prophet sent by God .Instead, Muhammad was a lying deceptive false prophet sent by Satan to lead many people astray Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned about the coming of such men a Muhammad.. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. The Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone out into the world.” First John 4:1. [K.J.V.]
An interesting Christian internet I found that replies to the many different claims made by the apologists for Islam is answering-islam.org
Frank Morra says
And Muslims are liars, thieves, pedophiles, rapists, and crazed murderers! Your turn!
Angemon says
The PA cleric is spouting islamic orthodoxy – the issue is not this guy in particular but islam in general. The sooner the average Joe in the Western world realizes that, the better.

IF ISRAEL, A LIGHT UNTO THE SICK, DISFUNCTIONAL, DESPOTIC MIDDLE EAST,
the freest, most progressive and productive nation in the region, is a country of Jewish “apes and pigs” than what does that make Palestinians? Is pond scum too generous?

The Jews are sill the “apple of God’s eye”, his chosen people. I really would hate to be these guys when JESUS CHRIST comes back for he will not hold back his wrath. They really are playing a dangerous game that they can not possibly win.

There is one thing odd about today’s world, today’s reality. governing people don’t want to hear the truth about islam. when muslim quote their quran to kill and destroy, they always have an excuse. but when people like me and others want to speak out the truth about the murderous religion which is islam immediately I am seen as islamophobe. When jews suffer, the world does not do anything. when christians in muslim countries are killed and are denied the right to pray the world does not move an inch to condemn. jews and christians are the new hostages. when Hamas attacks Israel nobody says a word but when Israel gives tit for tat then the world talks loud. they forget Israel must survive in the midst of people of satanic religion=islam.
Joseph Schaalone says
the Islamists will only achieve respect in this modern world when they learn to tolerate and peacefully disagree all they want with those who have only disdain for their prophet Muhammad and say whatever they please about him. They need more atheists and disbelievers among their ranks as well as more respect for those who reject all their medieval ideas and actions. Continuing as they have will only keep them trapped in times long since passed.
