Denmark: Imam convicted of violating racism laws for calling Jews “children of apes and pigs”

Dec 24, 2016 11:14 am By Robert Spencer

What are Danish authorities going to do when they find out that these “racist comments” are based on the Qur’an?

“And when We took your covenant, and We raised over you the mount, ‘Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous.’ Then you turned away after that. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers. And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, ‘Be apes, despised.’ And We made it a deterrent punishment for those who were present and those who succeeded [them] and a lesson for those who fear Allah.” (Qur’an 2:63-66)

“Say, ‘O People of the Scripture, do you resent us except [for the fact] that we have believed in Allah and what was revealed to us and what was revealed before and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?’ Say, ‘Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allah ? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of Taghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.'” (Qur’an 5:59-60)

“And ask them about the town that was by the sea – when they transgressed in the sabbath – when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient. And when a community among them said, ‘Why do you warn a people whom Allah is to destroy or to punish with a severe punishment?,’ they said, ‘To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him.’ And when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying. So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, ‘Be apes, despised.'” (Qur’an 7:163-166)

“Imam gets suspended jail for racist comments in Denmark,” Associated Press, December 20, 2016:

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A Danish court has convicted an imam of violating Denmark’s racism laws and given him a 14-day suspended jail sentence.

The City Court in Odense says Mohammed al-Khaled Samha held a speech in September 2004 in which he described Jews as “children of apes and pigs.”

The Syrian-born Samha said the words were made within the framework of Denmark’s freedom of speech but the court on Tuesday sided with the prosecution and decided it was in violation with the country’s racism laws….

    I’m betting that Denmark’s higher courts will overturn the conviction based on the fact that the statement is taken directly from the Koran.

    But if they don’t, and allow this conviction to stand, I’m sure the precedent will be used by Europe’s secular authorities to target statements based on the Bible and the Torah.

          But no one attacks muslims based on any commentary….. hence, the actions depict the words and the use of in the proper context. You cannot quote deuteronomy so, since it was never so ‘used’

    According to evolutionists and theistic evolutionists we are all related to monkeys, so what’s the problem.

    I ask this of theistic evolutionists, does your belief mean that Jesus Christ’s mother was related to a chimp? No reply.

    I am not aware that the Christian population of ‘Palestine’ have ever agreed that ‘Palestine’ is the land of Islam. The Christians were there long before Islam. If the muslims stole the land from the Christians that islam cannot represent the population and Israel should never negotiate anything with any muslim representative. Only negotiate with Christian representatives and refer please to ‘Palestine’ as the Christian Territory of Palestine’. (I am of course Jewish). Time that all Israelis referred also to Israel as being the ‘Jewish State of Israel’.

    I was wondering also why muslims use the Christian calender. They recognise 2017 and 2018 yet they fail to recognise Christmas etc. I think we should piss the muslims off by only using the Jewish calender 🙂

    As usual with Muslims, they deceive Quran ignorant humanity about what Muhammad’s Quran actually says. Also, invariably because they are NOT allowed to investigate the Quran properly, they have no idea that when one compiles the verses of the Quran regarding the Israelites and Jews in the correct sequence, the Quran is actually a supporter of ZIONISM

    For those on JW who find these revelations beyond a shadow of a doubt as TRUE, please spread the article around.

    Al Baqara 2:47 “O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favor which I (Allah) bestowed upon You and that I preferred you above the whole world”

    Al Baqara 2:122 “O Children of Israel! call to mind the special favor which I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you above the whole world”

    *** Once again in this verse does Allah assert that the Israelites are his CHOSEN PEOPLE***

    Al Maida 5: 21 “O my people! enter the holy land (al Arth al Muqaddasata) which Allah hath assigned unto you (Kataba Allahu Lakum) and turn not back ignominiously for then will ye be overthrown to your own ruin.”

    ***Allah and no one else is speaking these words in this verse and Muslims (and Arabs) all over the world have been defying and disobeying their god Allah’s commands and statements with impunity and without reverence***

    Al Aaraf 7: 137 “And We (Allah) made a people considered weak (and of no account) inheritors of lands in both east and west lands, whereon We sent down our blessings… The fair promise of the Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel….”

    ***” inheritors of lands in both east and west lands” is actually the Promised Land of the Israelites on BOTH sides of the river Jordan***

    Al Aaraf 7: 138 “We (Allah) took the Children of Israel (with safety) across the sea…”

    Yunus 10:93 “We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place and provided for them sustenance of the best”

    Al Israa 17:104 “And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel “Dwell securely in the land (of promise)”:

    *** Allah, in very clear Arabic, asserts that he fulfilled his promise to reward the People of Israel with the Promised Land, the same land that the later conquering hordes of Muhammadan Arabs claim as exclusively theirs CONTRARY to their own Quran ***

    Ta Ha 20:80 “O ye Children of Israel! We (Allah) delivered you from your enemy and We made a Covenant with you on the side of Mount
    (Sinai) and We sent down to you Manna and quails…”

    Al Dukhan 44:32 “And We chose them (Israelites) aforetime above all the nations knowingly”

    Al Jathiyah 45:16 “We did aforetime grant to the Children of Israel the Book (Torah), the Power of Command and Prophethood; We gave them for Sustenance things good and pure; and We favored them above all the nations”

    *** Believers and Unbelievers, please be aware, that the Quran, in verse after verse, repeatedly and unambiguously asserts, that it was Allah and ONLY Allah who did the Choosing, contrary to the Hatemongering declarations by anti Jews, that it is the Racist and Arrogant Israelites and Jews who declare themselves the Chosen People ***

    Based upon all what is being revealed here, how can any sane person accept the wild and unsubstantiated claims, that the loose leaf and arbitrary collection of the Quran is CORRECT, whereas the older Book, the Torah of the Bible, whose pages, chapters and verses are in correct order and upon which the Quran’s foundations are rooted, is not?

    It is obvious that Muhammad did not realize that his loose-leaf notes had fully captured and preserved – though somewhat scrambled up from the more ancient accounts – actually verifying with detailed accounts, that the Israelites and the Jews had lived many centuries before him, settled and made their homeland as a nation in the very state of modern Israel and territories that have since been restored.

    These are the very lands that his Arab followers absurdly deny had ever previously belonged to anyone else but themselves?

    In conclusion, based upon all the above, it is crystal clear, that contrary to the untested beliefs of hundreds of millions of Muhammadan Arabs and Muslims in the world today, their Quran in fact, fully supports and verifies the claims of the Jews for the land of Israel as their ancient and rightful home and nation.

    Thus in a nutshell, the Quran is Zionist.

    Any challengers?

    He did say, Muslims kill the Jew hiding behind a tree. I know it’s a quote from the Quran but isn’t that also a death threat? What is the greater crime, calling on Muslims to kill Jews or calling Jews a racist name? Laws in Denmark seem to be reversed. Just saying.

    • Guest says

      Dec 24, 2016 at 3:20 pm

      They don’t seem to be worried about the death threats. Perhaps because they aren’t direct (as in ‘go and do it now’) but he specifically refers to koran predictions about the ‘end times’?

    Denmark is in desperate need of real free speech. Shutting up this Imam keeps the infidels from learning the truth about Islam’s intrinsic hatred of Jews. We need he and others like Anjem Choudary shouting from the rooftops so that other Muslims can agree by quiet acceptance or speak out against it – thereby educating the infidels and “elite” leadership about Islam and its intent for the nation. It also would bring the BDS supporters to consider if they might be seen as agreeing with Islam’s ugly image of Jews and have second thoughts about the BDS position.

    Denmark is just driving this anti-semitism into the Mosques and out of public view. Like a mold, it grows well in dark places.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Dec 24, 2016 at 3:56 pm

      Europe needs the equivalent of a First Amendment. Not just for the likes of the monster Anjem Choudary (now in prison, or soon to be there, thankfully) — but for Islam critics. Could a writer like Robert Spencer exist in Europe? In many places he would be hauled into court to face lawsuits for expressing views that, whether you agree with all of them or not, are quite reasonable.

      • eduardo odraude says

        Dec 24, 2016 at 4:08 pm

        The First Amendment of course has exceptions: it does not entitle one to call for violent overthrow of the government, for example. But except for such rare and extreme exceptions, freedom of speech should be unlimited, in Europe too. For want of free speech, Europe’s character as a Western society based on the historical contributions of Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem may be lost in a generation, and an increasingly Islamic society, with the totalitarian human rights limitations endemic to such societies, replace what was there before.

    The authorities in Denmark surely know that the apes and pigs business comes from the Qur’an. If they didn’t already know, they would have found out in about two seconds, since the apes and pigs verses in the Qur’an are among the most notorious among non-Muslims.

  10. ibrahim itace muhammed says

    Dec 24, 2016 at 4:12 pm

    mr spencer, i doubt it very much if a learned imam could refer to present day jews as descendants of apes on the authority of the verses you cited.the verses are telling the story of some jews who violated the law of sabbath, and were punished by turning them to apes.check the tafasir (commentaries)on these verse in surat baqra and other sources,that non of these people survived and left behind any offspring.they all died intested without leaving behind children.what quran describes jews upto this time is bani israela(the children of israel)or yahood(jews).but it is true the quran describes jews as people associated with all evil upto this time, and this is how they are.no one can dispute that;because it is glaring tody.the quran says except few of them, and it true as we can see with our naked eyes.that is their destiny because of their transgressions.they are in the same position with the satan the cursed one his descendants the spirits who were mostly evil except few of them who follow the truth.in one of my comments i cited abdullah bn salam to be among few jews who accepted the truth and led righteous life.

      I doubt very much that any sane person would consider an imam learned in any-thing. These faux intelligencia wannabes are quite simply, dangerous. You state that Jews are blatantly evil. How absolutely wonderful it must be to possess the ability to overlook the atrocities committed in the name of Islam today. There is evil every- where and most of it seems to be coming from “tolerant” Muslims. Islam has no place in civilized societies as we see Europe being transformed into a third world cesspool like the sewers these invaders left.

    It took 12 years for the Danish government to prosecute this guy only to “sentence” him to an ity bitty pat on his hands? What a farce!!! The Danes need to either give up their country without further foolishness or grow a pair and face reality.

    Denmark: Imam convicted of violating racism laws for calling Jews “children of apes and pigs”
    ………………..

    Well, I’m shocked that a racist Muslim was actually charged in Denmark. Usually it is anyone who opposes Jihad savagery.
