“I believe that the gorillas and chimps living today in the forests of North Africa are cursed Jews.” Seyfi Sahin is not a lone lunatic. When the British adventurer Sir Richard F. Burton posed as a Muslim and made the pilgrimage to Mecca in 1852, in Arabia his group spotted some monkeys, which the Muslims immediately declared were Jews. And why not? It’s in the Qur’an, as Sahin explains below, and “Allah always tells the truth.”
“Article In Radical Islamist Pro-AKP Turkish Daily: Gorillas, Chimps Are Cursed, Mutated Jews,” MEMRI, February 12, 2016:
In his January 31, 2016 column in the pro-AKP government, radical Islamist daily Vahdet, journalist Seyfi Sahin wrote that the evolutionary theory of “the Jew” Darwin contradicts Allah’s word in the Koran. Claiming to be a physician, Sahin argued that humans did not evolve from monkeys, but rather that monkeys evolved from perverted Jews whom Allah cursed and punished.[1] The column was widely criticized by Turkey’s independent opposition media.
Following are excerpts from Sahin’s article, titled “Monkeys Evolved from Humans.” [2]
[…]
“Those Among You Who Violated The Saturday [Sabbath] Prohibitions… Will Become Miserable Monkeys [Koran 5:60]”“Our God, the Creator of the universe, has also confirmed these truths. ‘You know those among you who violated the Saturday [Sabbath] prohibitions. For them it is said that they will become miserable monkeys [Koran 2:65].’
“Also: ‘Whomever Allah has cursed and punished, and those He turned into monkeys, pigs, and Satan worshippers, occupy the worst place [in His eyes], and they are perverts that have deviated from their path [Koran 5:60].’
“‘And when they became arrogant and did not change their ways, they were told to become low and contemptible monkeys [Koran 7:166].’
“The [Koranic] verses above show us that monkeys have come from humans. Allah always tells the truth.”
The Theory Of Evolution Is “An Opinion” By “A Jew Called Darwin”; “The Gorillas And Chimps Living Today In The Forests Of North Africa Are Cursed Jews”
“The theory of evolution was put forward by a Jew called Darwin. Therefore, it is an opinion. The aim of this theory is to turn the non-Jews away from their religion, to harm their faith, and to make them suspicious about their religion. Darwin, being a Jew, believed, lived, and was buried according to his religion. His real targets were the Muslims. Most likely, Darwin knew about these Koranic verses. In the Holy Koran, Allah responded very well to these perverts.
“Jews, who are well organized in the world’s financial and scientific institutions, are so powerful that they terrorize the world of science. Through propaganda and through the reiteration of this nonsense, they have brainwashed and imposed this opinion as a rule, and sold this deception as scientific reality. Even some ignorant theologians have believed the propaganda of this theory…
“I believe that the gorillas and chimps living today in the forests of North Africa are cursed Jews. They are perverted humans that have mutated. This thought is much stronger and scientific than Darwin’s theory. But we the Muslims, who believe this, do not have banks, money, or the organization inside the world of science [like the Jews have]. Neither do we have propaganda outlets, in order to scream this truth. But we have our intellect, we have our faith, and we have our Allah. Alhamdullillah [with the grace of Allah].”

Jay Boo says
These are the good peaceful moderate Muslims lying in wait that worldcitizen1919 reassures us about.
Jay Boo says
Ooops I was not referring to the photo but to the Muslim Seyfi Sahin.
Angemon says
Why so anti-Semite? Oh, wait – because islam, that’s why.
Majstos says
Darwin was a Christian whose father was a Protestant minister. Darwin’s lapsing faith was rekinled because he thought his theory of natural selection was a strong indication of God at work.
Salome says
Yes, but by attributing a widely accepted scientific theory to a Jew, they weren’t firing too wide of the mark. I expect their next target will be special relativity; then general relativity–there, two solid Jewish theories.
mortimer says
It’s racist paranoia from the Koran. ‘Allah’ encouraged the Arabs to stir up their supremacism and racism.
Angemon says
I’m aware of Darwin’s religion, Majstos. What I considered anti-semitism was the way they used to deny the theory of evolution void: “not valid because Jew”.
Karen says
Hilarious how apes are mutated Jews, while simultaneously science, the banks and the media are all controlled by the Jews too.
G179 says
“But we have our intellect, we have our faith, and we have our Allah”
And there’s your problem – these 3 things cannot coexist.
Jaladhi says
Urrr, its their faith that makes them brain dead. Intellect- they can’t even spell it let alone have it!
Godwin says
Sorry to say that your Allah is the altered ego of Mo, according to Ali Sina as in alisina.org.
H says
???
Darwin was a Christian. And if any religion suffered loss of numbers from those theories, it was Christianity and Orthodox Judaism. Islam hasn’t made the intellectual leap with science.
Mockingjay says
Yeah, Darwin definitely was a Christian. A Christian who suffered when he realized the implications his scientific theory would have for his faith.
But well, these muslims with all their “intellect” of course know better. They know everything! They don’t even have to bother with science.
Ignorance truly is a poison of the mind.
Kevin says
If you think Darwin was a Christian then you’re not, because obviously you know nothing about the only true faith, The Crusades that were started by Islams slaughter of Catholics going to Jerusalem. Next to Islam, evilution is the biggest lie Satan ever invented, fooled one third of the worlds population. Thankfully when the only true and living God and His Christ will be coming back soon, He’ll sort it all out. So Islam, where is the wonderful grace in your evil religion a grace that is the hallmark of the only truth, Christianity.
H says
I didn’t say Darwin was right. But to call him a jew is erroneous.
Atheist kaffur says
This is really funny but sad. Ignorance and fanaticism must never take over. I guess that the science is out now. If they are really serious about it than let them have a scientific peer review and present their evidence. I guess the Islamic state and all the fanatical Muslims will corner all the Nobel prizes for science and molecular genetics. I guess this is an Islamic science. They should have their own Bin Laden prize.
somehistory says
These little creatures, made by the True God to enrich the earth with their unique qualities (as each creation does), are so much easier on the eyes than the moslims in the photos we usually see here on JW.
Just compare the photo above with the one about the *research on the bloodthirsty* comparison between the Bible and the unholy writings of the murdering raper of children.
imams and clerics and other devout adherents regularly show their jealousy of other faiths by making claims to inventions, awards, prizes, (Nobel and others), so it is no wonder they would show their jealousy of the different members of the ape family…members which find their own food, as opposed to extortion from Christians, members who care for each other, as opposed to the *fathers* who murder their children and sell them to other old males…it’s plain to see they these moslims hope to insult both the Jews and the chimps.
The only thing they really do is show their ignorance and hate. As usual.
Peter says
Logically, if the Jews are, as Islamic doctrines and beliefs claim, the descendants of apes and pigs, and given that many Jews have converted to Islam over the last 14 centuries, then many modern day Muslims must also be the descendants of apes and pigs.
Gene says
Maybe that is why Muslims spend so much time killing each other.
bernie says
I don’t know about that, but many of these extremist Muslim clerics throw much more dung at others than any gorillas or chimps do, it sems.
T says
Islam devolves humanity down to that of viruses, which, like Muslims that follow Mo’s word correctly, are basically dead in the appearance of being alive. Muslims have absolutely no right to talk down about these beautiful animals.
mike ryan says
There are no forests to speak of in northern Africa, let alone forests with gorillas and chimpanzees.
Allah sure does nurture some smart ones, don’t he!
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Yeah, I wonder where in North Africa these gorilla- and chimp-habitat forests are located. And do these two species consort with each other? Apparently yes, because the photo shows a cigarette-smoking chimpanzee trying to push his nicotine addiction onto an innocent young gorilla.
Gene says
Actually, apes have been documented to kill other apes.
Lucretius says
Chimps, monkeys, Darwin, the financial elite and Jews are all smarter, more peaceable and industrious than these madrasah graduates. Given their “intelligence and faith” I can see why they confuse them.
Toby1 says
Is there ANY LEVEL OF EVIL that these Muslim filth cannot descend to??????
mortimer says
This Turkish fool Seyfi Sahin wrote: ““The theory of evolution was put forward by a Jew called Darwin. Therefore, it is an opinion. The aim of this theory is to turn the non-Jews away from their religion, to harm their faith, and to make them suspicious about their religion. Darwin, being a Jew, believed, lived, and was buried according to his religion. His real targets were the Muslims.”
In fact, the agnosticism of Darwin and his entire life story as a Unitarian, theological candidate and later an ‘unaggressive’ agnostic are well documented.
Surely, such nonsense as Seyfi Sahin writes must cause many to lose all hope in Islam if it requires such flimsy lies to support it.
jewdog says
Monkeys are a step up the evolutionary chain from this guy.
Western Canadian says
Much more than just a single step!!! An Everest of steps!!!
Western Canadian says
GEEE!! Monkeys are evolved from Jews!! I can’t help but wonder if such violent thoughts, as found in the unholy koran, showed up in the latest ‘scientific’ study!!!
Paula says
Anyone who could believe such nonsense is truly an IDIOT.
RCCA says
The Islamic world might just be God’s version of “The Onion.” Good for a laugh because it’s so outrageously absurd.
DRHazard says
Is there something in the Quran like “and only the total morons will be allowed entry into Paradise..”.
This complete surrender of everything that makes a person more than a monkey in favor of the loosely assembled, questionably compiled, and vaguely worded utterances of an unstable psychopath continues to amaze me. Topping off the unapologetic stupidity of this man is his total dedication to projecting the flaws of Muslims onto everybody else.
And I’m always thinking about the 50-60 percent of Muslims who can’t read and the rest who just don’t read – they get all they know about Islam from people like this clueless, angry Islamobot.
Danny says
Is there not More then enough proof about there faith too see it for what is it hate and emily but most off all Just plane old dumb ???????
celticwarriorcanada says
Jews are Apes & Monkeys ? No Way Man ? I see no resemblance what so ever ! For example : Look at the noses of both the gorilla and the chimp ; they are BOTH FLAT and lack the Streisand , Hoffman Ridge , Sky Jump and contour . Also I’ve never heard of Monkeys selling their Bananas to other Monkeys . Then theirs the Grooming Style : You will notice the Beard Possessed by the Chimp ! Notice that the shape of the beard is grown out like the One you often see on muslim males ! Then there’s the behavioral issues : now I’m no Expert on Monkeys , but Iv’e heard that monkeys are fairly unproductive . Doesn’t sound like no Jew to me ! Iv’e also heard that they can be very war like , and are inclined to Rape and cannibalism. Wow I think Iv’e heard this scenario somewhere else !
Peggy says
They just keep proving how hateful, primitive and savage they are.
Even if it were true, it would still be a step up from Muslims.
I would rather be called a monkey than a Muslim.
gravenimage says
As would I, Peggy.
abad says
Gosh.
And I thought gorillas and chimps evolved from Muslims.
Peggy says
Can’t be. Muslims don’t evolve and certainly not into something smarter like chimps and gorillas.
Muslims don’t progress. They regress.
Karen says
Ah!! Great point!! But I’m sure someone will be by shortly to exquisitely parse the Arabic to show that Saturday actually means Friday, or vice versa….
Michael Warden says
“Don’t waste my time. It’s bullshit”. (Christopher Hitchens).
خَليف says
I enjoy repeating this…
It is halal for a Muslim male to marry a Christian or Jew.
So if those female chimps are Jews, Koranic logic allows Muslim to marry them.
This story also shows how stupid Mohamed was – why would Allah, who demands followers to worship on Friday, punish Jews for fishing on Saturday? Why not punish them for fishing on Friday?
Now, if God’s true holy day is Saturday, as the Jews believe, the story would be slightly more believeable, and prove Islam false.
5:60 – one has to wonder what kind of character Allah is when he turns people into Satan worshipers… Oh let’s see, if Allah is in fact Satan, and he gets people to worship him, he has turned them into Satan worshippers.
خَليفة says
That chimp sure looks like a jihad with a beard and shaved moustashe.

Carolyne says
Nah. They prefer goats.
Muslims are an unevolved species of humanoids. Another branch evolved and progressed into western man or homo sapiens. Muslims never did. They remain the undeveloped homo erectus. Monkeys and other apes came from another branch closely related to the Muslim branch but their brains are more developed.
That’s a theory developed by me.
Joe Brooce says
If jews are chimps, then muslims are cockroaches.
gravenimage says
Turkey: Article in pro-government daily says gorillas and chimps are cursed, mutated Jews
……………………..
Yet Muslim apologists like to tout how “scientific” Islam is…
peter Weber says
Imagine that somebody would write “the pigs on Allah’s earth are all cursed Muslims”. OUTRAGE would follow! It would be “racist, “islamophobic”, “hate speech” etc.
panmelia says
This is grossly unfair to pigs, which are intelligent animals, and playful when allowed to be.
Think of something much, much lower in the animal kingdom, such as parasites, tapeworms, fleas
