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

Survey shows Jew-hatred rises with Muslim religiosity

Dec 30, 2015 7:39 pm By Robert Spencer

Surprised? Don’t be. The Qur’an contains a great deal of material that can and does incite furious hatred for Jews – and a pious Muslim, Shi’ite or Sunni, sees Israel and modern Jews through a Qur’anic prism.

The Qur’an states that in the Torah is “guidance and light” (5:44) and asks why the Jews approach Muhammad to settle their disputes: “But how is it that they come to you for judgment while they have the Torah, in which is the judgment of Allah?” (5:43). It also asserts, however, that the Qur’an is “the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it” (5:48).

The Jews, however, did not see the Qur’an as confirming their Scriptures, and did not convert to Islam en masse. The Qur’an explains this as a manifestation of their perversity and rebellion from Allah: “And when a messenger from Allah came to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who had been given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know” (2:101). Allah says of the Jews: “Is it not that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But most of them do not believe” (2:100).

Those Jews who did not accept Muhammad and Islam are “avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you. They distort words beyond their usages” and are “the ones for whom Allah does not intend to purify their hearts.” They face the divine wrath in this world as well as the next: “For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment” (5:41). They are disgraced everywhere they go: “They have been put under humiliation wherever they are overtaken, except for a covenant from Allah and a rope from the Muslims. And they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allah and have been put under destitution. That is because they disbelieved in the verses of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and transgressed” (2:89).

The Jews even dare to claim that “Allah did not reveal to a human being anything.” Allah instructs Muhammad to respond: “Say, ‘Who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You make it into pages, disclosing it and concealing much. And you were taught that which you knew not — neither you nor your fathers. Say, ‘Allah.’ Then leave them in their discourse, amusing themselves” (6:91).

Ultimately, Allah transforms disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:63-66; 5:59-60; 7:166). Muslims should avoid such people: “O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people” (5:51). Now the Jews are accursed of Allah for rejecting the Qur’an: “And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming that which was with them — although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved — but when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers” (2:89). They are the worst enemies of the Muslims: “You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers the Jews…” (5:82).

The enemies of the Muslims, the killers of the prophets, dishonest, evil, subhuman, and accursed of Allah – this is the Qur’an’s picture of the Jews. Combine all that with the Qur’anic command to “kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you” (2:191), and one has come to the root of the implacable hostility among Muslims toward Israel.

Jew behind every catastrophe

“Survey Shows Antisemitism Rises With Muslim Religiosity,” by Elder of Ziyon, Algemeiner, December 29, 2015:

An Institute for the…Study of Global Antisemitism (ISGAP) meta-survey of antisemitic attitudes in Europe showed a very consistent finding. It’s conclusion:

The review of surveys from different European countries demonstrates that the level of antisemitic attitudes is significantly higher among Muslims than among non-Muslims, although many European Muslims do not share antisemitic beliefs. The level of antisemitism rises with the level of religiosity and with fundamentalist interpretations of Islam. 

Notably, demographic and socioeconomic variables — that is, educational level, age, gender, social disadvantage, discrimination, and legal restrictions of Islamic practice — cannot explain the differences between Muslims and non-Muslims. This refutes the widespread assumption that Muslim antisemitism is a reaction to discrimination or suppression.

The surveys considered are strong evidence that current interpretations of Muslim identity and belief are major sources for hatred against Jews. Further research should identify which particular interpretations of Muslim identity and Islam are prone to antisemitic beliefs and, perhaps more importantly, which are not. A distinction between Islamism and Islam is surely important, but might be insufficient: although antisemitism is particularly strong among fundamentalist as well as believing and practicing Muslims, the level of antisemitism among less religious Muslims is still higher than in the general population. …

    (Projection)
    Muhammad was the one who turned his back on the Jewish religion yet he blamed the Jews for his own behavior.
    When the bandit cult leader Muhammad was on the run from the authorities in Mecca he sought refuge in Medina. He befriended and adopted the customs of the Jews living there including avoiding pork. He even prayed toward Jerusalem before his slit the throats of the Jews in Medina and used their children as sexual objects of his unrestrained lusts.

    He then prayed toward Mecca instead of Jerusalem and to this day Muslims still make the ridiculous claim that their conman prophet pretender Muhammad ascended to heaven not from Mecca but from Jerusalem.

    Western politicians and journalists are looking the other way with respect to Islamic Jew-hatred.

    http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/AS-I-SEE-IT-How-the-West-is-complicit-in-Islamic-Jew-hatred-363292

    Muslim attacks on Jews spiraling across Europe go virtually unreported by mainstream Western media; everyone, therefore, misses big story: the tsunami of anti-Jewish hatred rolling across Europe.

    Anti-Jewish hatred is not just directed against Israel and the Jews of Europe. It is fueling the Islamic war against the West. It is often said that the Jews are the “canary in the mine.”

    Those who turn against the Jews in their own societies invariably deal a death blow to those societies themselves.

      That’s actually the lesser evil, the alternative being identifying the perps as “French”, or “Italian”, or “German”, or whatever country ID card they happen to carry.

      “Gee, those French are becoming more and more anti-semitic”. It’s ISLAM AND MUSLIMS, stupid!

    Wow, a direct causal link between the Islamic scriptures and Moslems. Whoda thunk it. Too bad this is beyond the reach of the TV set, otherwise we could save ourselves from them.

    the hatred of Jews increases proportionately with the increased internalization of the mohammedan tenets because islam is a doctrine of Satan and Satan (allah to muslims) hates Israel and the Jews even if living outside of Israel. The Jews are God’s chosen people to make His known His will for the world

    “the level of antisemitism among less religious Muslims is still higher than in the general population.”
    I like that bit about general population. It stands for non moslems.
    Without anti-semitism islam is nothing. It is the 6th pilar of islam. Take it away and islam will
    crumble. Unfortunately, anti-semitism is alive and well among “the general population”. If we become intolerant to anti-semitism and anti-zionism (which is just a euphemism for anti-semitism),
    islam will get weaker. But it seems before we are able to do that, we will have to sacrifice our history, culture, freedom and future of our children. Not everyone is an anti-semite, but there is such a thing as collective responsibility and all of us will pay the price.

    The saddest, and most *terrifying** of all, is how many **Jews** will refuse to acknowledge this truth, and continue to welcome mohammedans into synagogues, and continue to swallow the egregious bs that mohammedans are the ‘new Jews’. Ay di mi.

    The reality is that a nation like Australia, or Canada, or the UK, or most anywhere else in the non-Muslim world, can have Jews or it can have Muslims but it can’t have both, not in the long run.

    Because the Muslims hate, hate, hate the Jews – they seem to hate them extra specially violently, even more than the hate directed at other kinds of Infidels – and *will* attack them as soon as they (the Muslims) feel strong enough and think they can get away with it.

    Every single additional Muslim that migrates into or is born within Australia, or Canada, or the USA, or anywhere else in the free world perceptibly increases the probability that the Jewish community already present *will* – sooner or later – be murderously attacked by Muslims.

    Muslims even managed to attack Jews in *Argentina*, back in the day.

    Muslims attacked French Jews in the attack on the Rue des Rosiers, way back when, long before September 11 2001, long before the Muslim kidnapping and murder of Ilan Halimi or the Muslim murder of Sebastien Selam or the Muslim murder of Rabbi Jonathan Sandler and his two little boys and of eight-year-old Miriam Monsonego in the schoolyard in Toulouse or the Muslim murder of the Jews at the kosher supermarket in January 2015.

    Jews in Australia have a long and distinguished history of fruitful contribution to the surrounding society.

    But if we keep on importing Muslims, sooner or later our resident Jews – like the Jews of France are already doing – will begin to pack up and flee.

    I would rather have a million Jews than even *one* Muslim.

    I want Jews to remain welcome, free and safe in Australia, so long as any are happy to live here rather than in their ancestral and traditional homeland, Israel. *Therefore*, if it were up to *me*, Muslim immigration into Australia would be stopped, NOW.

      What wonderful words. Thankyou.
