“There is room in our community for many political viewpoints, but there is no room for hate. Robert Spencer peddles in hate. He mischaracterizes, demonizes, and stereotypes Muslims and their beliefs.”
Any examples? Of course not, because I do not do these things. Rabbi Nat Ezray of Congregation Beth Jacob, Redwood City and Maha ElGenaidi of the Islamic Networks Group say this because I stand against jihad terror and Sharia oppression, as they should as well. There is a concerted effort to demonize and destroy opponents of jihad terror by making such false claims about them, and this is yet another manifestation of that effort.
Rabbi, you want an example of mischaracterizing, demonizing, and stereotyping people and their beliefs? Check this out: the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
That’s mischaracterizing, demonizing, and stereotyping. What I do? Not so much.
“No room for hate at our universities,” letter in the Mercury News (scroll down), November 14, 2017:
We, the founding co-chairs of Muslim-Jewish Connection of the Peninsula, write to express our horror at the appearance of Robert Spencer, a well-known national fomenter of Islamophobia, at Stanford on Tuesday at the invitation of a student group.
There is room in our community for many political viewpoints, but there is no room for hate. Robert Spencer peddles in hate. He mischaracterizes, demonizes, and stereotypes Muslims and their beliefs.
Our organization works to deepen relationships between Muslims and Jews. We support one another as we combat racism, discrimination, and hatred against both of our communities. We understand that the only solution to the hatred in our world is to know one another.
We stand together in profound opposition to hateful messages directed against any of us.

This ridiculous Rabbi person has been in California too long and has caught the California denial disease.
Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller are defenders of the Jewish people. Ms. Geller is herself a Jew. Does the Rabbi have a death wish?
However, if the Stanford Administration has changed the rules for Mr. Spencer’s speech exclusively, I believe this to be perhaps a discriminatory act which might give Mr. Spencer standing for a civil rights lawsuit. I am not a lawyer, but I do not think it legal to change the rule specifically for one person and not apply it equally to all speakers. Perhaps a restraining order? Particularly if someone is injured as a result of Stanford’s action. I sincerely hope that is not the case and no one is hurt, especially Mr. Spencer who has been through it all, even poisoning despite overwhelming resistance from the very people he wishes to educate about the evil nature of Sharia.

Another ‘reformed’ jewish rabbi, speaks:
“There is room in our community for many political viewpoints, but there is no room for hate. Robert Spencer peddles in hate. He mischaracterizes, demonizes, and stereotypes Muslims and their beliefs.”
And as a reader of his actual books, I can attest that there is no such hatred of of ‘muslims, no demonization of muslims, and no stereotyping. There is however, the idea of exploring the role between Jihad theology, day to day events of Jihadist homicidism, Jihadist bigotry, Jihadist hatred and what it means in terms of the history of such events in the politics of today.
The rabbi is guilty of yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater’.
So much for his powers of intellectual honesty, let alone caring about the sense and sensibility to understand the issues involved.
Just another reformed ‘rabbi’ with his cloak of healing the world, hiding his dishonesty disallowing
people to understand critical issues of the day.
Diane Harvey says
The crime is falsely yelling “fire” in a crowded theater. If there’s a real fire, I want lots of yellers.
Robert trades in the truths of Islam. The rabbi is guilty of falsehoods.
Stan Lee says
A “reformed” Rabbi from Redwood, CA. I believe he trades in partisanship, he is obliged to be in accord with his temple membership…and this IS California, where Conservatism is an unwelcome belief. I think a head count of all clergy who lead congregations of any Judeo-Christian faith in the Socialist Republic of California would reveal a higher percentage of Leftists than any other political affiliation.
Yohanan says
Spencer’s raising awareness to actual radical Muslim doctrines, beliefs, history and news is truth-telling, self-defense and democracy-strengthening — it is not peddling in hate. The rabbi should first read Robert Spencer’s books and his posts and news digest in Jihad Watch before signing that Robert Spencer is “a well-known national fomenter of Islamophobia”.
This pollyanna rabbi writes that “only solution to the hatred in our world is to know one another.” Such diaspora kowtowing. Yes, interfaith learning and fellowship is good but it does not begin to stop terrorist supremacism. Here in Israel we know that.
BTW N. Ezray’s congregation belongs to the “conservative” Jewish movement, so he is not a “reform” rabbi. Their website states that “Beth Jacob has unwaveringly held its place on the progressive leading edge of the Conservative movement.” The history page also notes that the building was burnt down in 1979. “Arson was suspected but no conclusive evidence was ever found.” Also it notes how the congregation got help from Christian neighbors.
mgoldberg says
Ok… ‘conservative’, not reformed.
Still….his ‘deformed’ opinions, are shallow, pigeon held, fluttering tweets demonstrating
lack of thought, utopian distraction, with libelous falsity as its last meme.

The SJW Rabbi Nat Ezray of Redwood City also fails in history study. Utopian politics didn’t stop any conquest in the past nor does it save Jewish communities in Sweden and France today.

Frank Anderson says
According to “official” self-description of Reform Judaism, there is no “ed” at the end of reform because the process of reform is not complete; The examination is ongoing (at least in theory). “Ask every question repeatedly-because each time the truth becomes clearer, brighter and sharper. . .” Gates of Prayer in use 1993, page 711.
The attitude of this rabbi is quite similar to many rabbis I have encountered, to my sadness. It’s not substantially different from many “leading” members of congregations I have attended. It is not my attitude or opinion.
Moshe says
To avoid such misunderstandings, I urge Mr. Spencer to modify his presentations to highlight the promise of inter-faith dialogue and to celebrate the commonalities among the three Abrahamic faiths.
In addition, Mr. Spencer might join in the rich ecumenical tradition of former President Obama in recognizing the seminal contributions of Islamic communities to the founding of the United States and indeed to a wide variety of other landmark events in intellectual history, such as construction of the pyramids of Egypt and proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.
With these minor changes in emphasis, the Stanford community would be likely to provide Mr. Spencer with a warm welcome.
mortimer says
Moshe probably means well. I do not think Moshe is familiar with the DHIMMI theology that he is promoting nor perhaps with the DHIMMI concept nor the history of DHIMMITUDE.
The theory of the Abrahamic faith theology was first promoted by a well-meaning Arab who was searching for a way to live under Islamic rule.
Moshe should read the following to get learn why Abraham is not the point of unity he thinks: http://www.newenglishreview.org/Mark_Durie/The_Abrahamic_Fallacy/
There is no advantage in promoting an illusory peace based on erroneous theology. Dhimmi theology is trickery that only deceives Jews and Christians, but not Muslims who have an opposing, hostile and very unfriending version of Abraham that would shock and horrify Jews and Christians.
The Islamic version of Abraham supports murder of one’s own children as well as genocide.

Jack Diamond says
He doesn’t mean well.
Beagle says
I’m betting satire. There were no Islamic communities during the founding of the US. There’s lying about it, but nothing solid.

Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
C’mon Mortimer, can’t you see that Moshe is speaking tongue-in-cheek? The clue, for me, was his reference to the Islamic proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Everybody know that this theorem was proved by President Garfield (or was it Garfield the Cat?):

mortimer says
The Abrahamic Fallacy: Why Abraham is not a point of unity for Islam, Judaism, and Christianity
The phrase ‘Abrahamic religion’ or ‘faith of Abraham’ was first promoted in ecumenical circles during the 1950’s and 1960’s by Lebanese Maronite priest, Youakim Moubarak, whose theological vision was political, of an ‘egalitarian Palestine in which Jews, Christians and Muslims demonstrate together its abrahamic and ecumenical vocation’.
In reality, however, Abraham is a divisive figure: in Judaism he is the Torah-observant father of the Jewish nation; for Christians he is the apostle of salvation by faith alone; for Muslims he is the proto-typical Muslim, a forerunner and validator of Muhammad.
Moubarak took the phrase ‘religion of Abraham’ from the Koran and his promotion of it is a manifestation of dhimmi theology, a worldview constrained by existential fear, psychological accommodation and denial. In fact the ‘Abrahamic vocation’ inspired by the Koran leads to Islamization and sharia implementation. The current state of the Middle East offers eloquent testimony to the hollowness of this vision.

commonsense says
Informative post, Mortimer, but the Judaic Abraham could never have been Torah-observant, as there was no Torah until Moses was given the Judaic Law on Mount Sinai by the Almighty. Abraham is significant in Judaism for his repudiation of idol-worship, embrace of monotheism, and personal relationship with Hashem, if memory serves.
marc says
@commonsense I know it’s weird, but traditional Jewish belief is that Avraham was fully Torah observant despite it.

Few refer to the “three Abrahamic faiths” save Muslim apologists.
There are many commonalities between Judaism and Christianity, but Islam is a supremacist creed that *specifically* curses Jews and Christians, and demands their forced submission to Islam.
If “Moshe” is saying that Robert Spencer should ignore this, there are already plenty of clueless dhimmis doing just that.

Is “Moshe” demanding that Robert Spencer lie in order to appease Islam? Of course, Islam had *nothing* to do with the founding of the United States, the construction of the pyramids, or the Pythagorean Theorem.
It is lines like this that make we wonder whether “Moshe” is just having a laugh here, and is not serious at all.

Hmm, were you aware of the Islamic contribution of founding the U.S. Marines under Thomas Jefferson? Other than that, could you please cite any *major* Islamic contributions to the founding of the U.S.?
Well, there was who knows how many African slaves enslaved by Islamic slavers, who were then sold and made their way to the U.S. There’s that contribution, is that one of the contributions you were referring to?
During WW2, history has recorded the heroic exploits of different bands of nationalities such as the Navajo code speak, the Japanese-American fighters, etc. but strangely there is no such thing as a contribution from any American-Muslim group in the same regard.
Where is this magic bunny you are shaking out of the hat for us to see?

Lydia says
I can only take this as sarcasm if it is to have any intellectual credibility or merit at all.
There is no interfaith hope since this is a globalist plot mixing all false religions together so everyone will join. True Christianity can have nothing to do with false religions. There is no common ground. And, islam is not an Abrahamic faith any more than other false religions are, it is a mohammed birthed faith with the devil in the details, and no Biblical character gets any ‘credit’ for islam. The fulfillment of Judaism is Christianity; from root to tree to branches with leaves and blossoms to fruit. But that takes us beyond the scope of this discussion at hand.
Just in case some are not informed. And yes, any false placating platitudes that Robert can offer, any bowing with olive branches, any kissing of rump hinds of course would be met with acceptance. Any acquiescence of ideas from the opposing side, any silver tongues that offer compliments and verbiage in rolling forms of prose that appease and satiate the attackers would be welcomed by them, perhaps a waving a white flag as well? But come in with no nonsense truth, and you are attacked full on with ‘neanderthal’ claw and fang!

Max Publius says
The common trait among these non-Muslim censorious pseudo moralists who patronizingly stick up for their would-be oppressors (moderate jihadists et al) is that they do not read widely and cannot intellectually process a counterargument. They seem to be drone-like repeaters of propaganda who panic at any disturbance in their programming. I’d say despite many of their resumes, they have middling IQs. They just aren’t very bright.

Ah, how sweet! A believer. No, not in the Jewish religion. In political correctness. Too bad there isn’t a heaven for such believers. But there’s a heaven for those who profit from political correctness. 72 virgins, you know. And not one jew. Does Mr. Ezray know about that? I doubt it. VERY MUCH.
Martin N says
This rabbi seems unable to grasp the fact that the -only- condition that will make muslims in the middle east happy is if every Israeli is swimming in the ocean. The muslim in the USA can’t quite go that far but he will gladly watch all Jews drown. Same attitude goes toward the Christians as well.
True Islam does not tolerate anything that doesn’t submit to it – thus the name ‘ISLAM’ = submission.
Carolyne says
The fact that would perhaps make the Rabbi grasp the truth would be if all Israelis were “Sleeping with the fishes,” with cement boots. While he does not know it and likely doesn’t mean it, that would be the end result.

“Moshe” is a troll, and probably a Muslim. He has posted here previously, as I recall, and his comments demonstrate that he is certainly a Muslim apologist. Inter alia, he claims here – astonishingly – that Muslims built the pyramids, which were constructed, of course, centuries before Muhammed’s birth, according to the Muslim narrative. “Moshe” also avers that Muslims made “seminal contributions” to the founding of the United States – more ahistorical nonsense. Of course, our trollish friend gives no examples of such putative contributions, nor can he, because none exist. Also risible is his assertion that Muslims proved the Pythagorean Theorem. Pythagoras himself postulated the theorem, and provided the necessary proof himself – unproven, a theorem cannot even be a theorem. “Moshe,” like so many other Muslim apologists, makes preposterous claims – either greatly exaggerated or made out of whole cloth – to show how Muslims have contributed significantly to Mankind. All of his claims are nonsense.

Is it possible that “Moshe” is being serious here, and not laughing up his sleeve? His last line may be a give away.
If this is a pose, he is remarkable for never “breaking kayfabe”.
So, I will take his comments at face value for the purpose of responding to them:
Obama did not actually say that Islam was responsible for the pyramids and the Pythagorean Theorem, but he did say that Islam invented algebra, the magnetic compass, and printing, which is just about as absurd.
He also said “that Islam has always been a part of America’s story”, while conveniently ignoring that our experience with Islam was Muslims pirating our ships and enslaving our crews. Islam contributed *nothing* to our history, unless it was our early learning to stand up against tyranny.
Of course, the appalling Obama also said, “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”–his wanting to shut down any criticism of the violence of Islam.
carol says

And complete apparent lack of knowledge in matters he is talking about. He claims that he “stands … in profound opposition to hateful messages directed against any of us” while ignoring the fact that Qur’an is literally plagued with multiple “hateful messages directed against” Jews, Christians and all unbelievers (non-Muslim, i.e., kuffar) in general. While we could safely ignore some internal commandments directed toward believers (though we still call them – those commandments – silly) we cannot ignore those warnings and threats against kuffar as our very lives are at stake.

Any Jew or Christian who defends Islam is a fool because Islam is rank with antipathy for both. Jews in the Koran are described as descendants of apes and pigs (Suras 2,5 and 7) and both Jews and Christians are said to be the “vilest of creatures” per Sura 98:6. Both can continue to exist in a Muslim-dominated environment but only if they acknowledge the superiority of the Islamic faith, pay the jizya and “feel subdued.” {Sura 9:29} In short, wherever Islam dominates it destroys freedom, destroys a true Golden Rule for all and sets up a Jim Crow system based not on race but on belief. How wretched. How retrograde. And how stupid of anyone to defend any of this rot.
My God, when will this foolhardiness end whereby stalwart, courageous and informed people like Robert Spencer are characterized as haters and those who adhere to the most effed-up and hateful religion of all time are portrayed as the victims? “No time soon” seems to be the answer. Damn shame. What a waste.
And a curse on all Jews and Christians (including the present Pope) who continue to defend the religion that curses them. Sometimes, you know, a curse is justifiable. Islam’s curses NEVER are. But so many curses against Islam exceedingly are.

Not with the general populace, Ibrahim. Quite the contrary in fact. Day by day more non-Muslim folks are grasping the true nature of Islam. And just reflect for a moment upon all those people brought up Muslim who are leaving their decrepit religion in droves (though they do have to be careful in doing so since leaving Islam requires the death sentence, now doesn’t it?—————and how telling that it has to resort to this to keep believers “in line”——–hey, what other major faith does this?).
Besides, Spencer doesn’t hate Muslims. He’s been crystal clear about this (you’ve missed this but then you miss so much). All he does is regularly point out the many troubling aspects of Islam, like no true Golden Rule for all, rank hatred towards Jews (hey, pal, just look at Suras 2,5 and 7 for confirmation here), and the shutting down of freedom wherever and whenever Islam is in control (c’mon, do you really want to argue that Islam stands up for freedom?———-do so please and give me my laugh of the day).
You know, Ibrahim, every time an apologist for Islam, for instance YOU, tries to defend Islam, it just confirms to anyone of sense and knowledge that Islam is indeed rotten to the core, starting with its warped and brutal psychopathic founder, the Profiteer Mohammed, further confirmed by the joke of a religious text which is the Koran (BORING, TEDIOUS, HIGHLY REPETITIVE, STUPID (especially the “abrogation stuff”) and PROFOUNDLY DISTURBING), confirmed yet again and again by all the major religious schools of Islamic theology—truly disgusting every one of them are—and, oh, I almost forgot, the over 32,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide just since 9/11, never mind the some 300 million murdered in the name of Islam before 9/11 and probably over 1 billion lives not ended but ruined over the centuries (and I have the female gender particularly in mind here) by Mo’s creed.
Your turn, Ibrahim. Give it a shot. Yeah, do so.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Wellington, also day by day many filthy Christians are realizing that Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is exactly the Satan (the cursed one)
gravenimage says
Now Ibrahim itace muhammed is claiming that if you take issue with child rape and the bombing of cafes, that you are following “the Satan”.
More proof that Islam is not just immoral, it is the very inversion of morality.
JawsV says
It’s Allah and Muhammed (the same) who are Satan, Muslim. My God (Jesus) you’re a dimbulb. Centuries of Muslim in-breeding. Jesus is Lord! P.S. You’re filthy!
Mo says
@ Ibrahim itace muhammed
“Day by day ,Mr Spencer’s mission of hatred against Muslims and Islam is losing ground”
LOL! Projection, much? A “mission of hatred” is publicly accusing people of things, without providing a shred of evidence. You know, like you’ve done here? Is that what your “god” wants you to do?
Provide the evidence from any of Robert’s books or videos where he’s said anything remotely “hateful”. Provide it. Do not ignore me. Do not change the topic.
You know you won’t answer me or provide any of the evidence I’ve requested. You NEVER do, because you know you have no such evidence. You know it!
Thanks for demonstrating on the internet yet again, for the entire world to see!
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
MO, the evidence is contained in this forum (JW) where Mr Spencer and you fools are calling for banning of all Muslims from Christian west. Hitler made the same call for expulsion of all Jews from Christian west,which led to Holocaust.what is the difference?
JawsV says
Ban Muslims from the Judeo-Christian West! Stay in your crapistans, Muslims!
gravenimage says
Actually, Robert Spencer has never called for such a ban on Muslims.
And Hitler did not expel Jews from Germany, he mass slaughtered them in an attempt at genocide–the same genocide of the Jews that Ibrahim itace muhammed himself has openly espoused.
Moreover, Jews in Germany were peaceful and productive, whereas Muslims are engaged in skyrocketing acts of violent Jihad against us all over the West.
In other words, like most Muslims he is fine with using the suffering of the Jews for his own false claims of victimhood; but is happy to bring another Holocaust against the Jewish people themselves.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Is it not true that i, as a Christian, could not enter Mecca or Medina? Is it not also true that islam teaches as a goal the complete expulsion of non muslims from all arabia?
Jews aren’t the ones trying to destroy our culture and take over. They also weren’t doing that in germany before the second world war. They also don’t have a guide book called the koran which demands they kill or subdue every non muslim. They also don’t have, and did not have, anywhere else to call home, unlike muslims which have MANY other places they can go if they think living under some kind of sharia is a better option for them.
There is no comparison outside of the very shallow one you provided.
We want muslims to leave if they don’t like it in the west, rather than staying with the intention to impose islam by force or otherwise. We don’t want any trouble, we don’t want to fight or anything of the sort. We want to be left alone to do our thing, and to leave them alone to find a better life in an islamic country.
We think islam is a vile and nasty collection of what don’t deserve to called ideas, and would like to retain the freedom to continue believing that. This is a freedom not found in islamic counties.

All those passionate attacks must be winning us over, right Ibrahim?
Ren says
It is not Robert Spencer that “mischaracterizes, demonizes, and stereotypes Muslims”.
Muslims stereotype themselves by adhering to a doctrine founded by a pedophile, a thief, a murderer and a terrorist. Muhammad, that is.

Succinctly and accurately stated, Ren.
Yes indeed, destroy Mohammed and you destroy Islam. He is the key of keys in this so deserving of a destruction.

I ask him again how his views differ from those of Jihad terror groups like ISIS, given that he has confirmed that Muslims may rape children, keep sex slaves, and mass-murder those who do not submit to Islam.
Cheer Bear Girl says
This Rabbi is ignorant of the seething hatred Muslims have for the Jewish people. I am not Jewish I am Christian and I have more knowledge of Islam than he does. I know Islam preaches subjugation of non-believers and death.
Islam calls for the deaths of all Jews. Muslims have slaughtered Christians and Jews and Pagans and Atheists and Hindus and Buddhists. Nobody is safe from Jihad. Being a Dhimmi is no guarantee of safety.

TKF says
These people are out of their ever loving, politically correct minds. Pretending that Islam is all rainbows and lollipops is blatant wishful thinking. Their Islam is a fantasy: the Islam they wish existed as opposed to the one that actually does exist. The reason it’s hard to shut down the jihadis on theological grounds is because the dogma backs up the jihadis. ISIS did not do one thing that their crazy prophet didn’t do first, including child marriage, sex slavery, beheadings and all the rest. Insisting on a benign Islam is literally getting people killed. We must face reality. Truth trumps fantasy even if is unpleasant or, god forbid…Islamophobic..
John Forbes says
The level of ignorance exhibited by the Western Clergy, Rabbi’s & members of the general public is a real worry!
It is either acute stupidity or maybe wax in the ear canals or amoeba brain syndrome!
I suspect a combination of all three actually.
AL of the clergy that I talked to have not even bothered to look at the so-called HOLY BOKS of ISLAM but steadfastly insist that anyone criticizing Islam is a racist!
The ISLAMAPHOBIA con seems to have been very effective really !
carol says
I had a conversation with a Jehovah Witness, the type of guy who studied source books and prided himself on being a pseudo-scholar. He seemed to know well the ugliness of Mohammed and Islam and then tried to point out some “name” clue he felt showed a common “Abrahamic faith” beginning. Clearly he was not leaving Mohammed out in the hallway in the piss-poor plagiarizer’s seat. Why, this fellow talked as though Islam was a full-fledged member in his wonderful, exclusive, Religious Idiots Club!
I’d had enough and couldn’t resist saying: “You really surprise me – you seem to know a lot about Mohammed and Islamic Sharia and violence and yet you talk as though they’re no different than other religions! Why they don’t belong in the SAME ROOM as Jesus Christ.”
He tried to back off and agree but his odd Club Membership card had been revealed. Strange stuff.
Frank Anderson says
When I took bar examinations in 2 states in 1980 and 81, both review courses made a simple statement to help on the Constitutional Law sections and issues: “Jehovah’s Witnesses win; Nixon loses.” As I remember, and subject to correction, at that time there were about 25 cases (maybe 27) involving the Jehovah’s Witnesses decided by the US Supreme Court. They won all but (more or less) 2. The major issue in many cases was the refusal of medical treatment. Adults could, and still can, effectively commit suicide by refusing; but could not kill their children by denying treatment to them. The Supreme Court rejects about 98 percent of all cases presented by a “Petition for Writ of Certiorari”. To see its time and attention squandered while other cases are neglected is a shame. But that is the way the Supreme Court works.

Dear Rabbi Nat Ezray
of Congregation Beth Jacob
Redwood City
Who would be the enemy of the God of Moses?
That would be the “enemy of the Jews”,Right?
But you probably don’t know who is formally defined in islam as “being the enemy of the Jews”?
“The angel gabriel is the enemy of the Jews”
Sahih al bukhari vol 4 book 60 no 3329
In islamic belief..
allah {who CURSES the Jews koran 9:30) gave his
koran { a violently anti-Semitic commandment of God-violating book} to
muhammed {who CURSES the Jews ,Sahih Muslim 1082….Oh and he mass murdered them too…see Ibn Ishaq 464}
Now who gave the koran to muhammed?
Yes.That’s right:the angel jibreel…who in islam ..is “the enemy of the Jews”
Can you see the “islam doesn’t love the Jews” theme?
Ask your muslim friends to explain ..
1)why jibreel who gave the koran to muhammed is the “enemy of the Jews”.WHY?
Why should the Jews be the enemy of allah and his muslims?Why should they be murdered just for being Jewish?
2)What did muhammed do the Jews ..Banu Qurayza {IbnSa’d vol 11 93/Ibn ishaq 464}?
3)since jibreel in islam is defined as “the enemy of the Jews” can you see how jibreel is therefore.. an enemy of the God of the Jews…who is the God of Moses?No?Why not?Its not rocket science is it?
And since jibreel is “the enemy of the Jews” such an “angel” with a hatred of the Jews couldn’t possibly come from the good God of Moses but must…logically..belong to the adversary of God.Can you figure it out yet Rabbi?
4)If you want anti-Semitism,kindly read the koran and hadith…it is much worse than mein kampf.Be prepared to be astonished at allah’s Hitlerian contempt for the Jews.
Remember too that “allah’s curse is upon the Jews”{allah also curses the Christians of course..}
By the way wasn’t Moses and ALL the Biblical prophets ..Jewish?Strange then how alllah curse them isn’t it?Can’t you see the herd of elephants in the room of islam??
5)In order for islam to rule the world via a global caliphate the Jews must be dealt with.Israel is standing in the way.And you know what the Iranians,who follow allah{who CURSES the Jews in koran 9:30)have said they would like to do to Israel don’t you?
Yes,they’d like to nuke it.In the name of allah(who CURSES the Jews) they would like to destroy..the HOLY LAND.
That in itself shows them to be enemies of the God of Moses because the Holy Land belongs to God!!{I suggest you read Zechariah to see what God has promised HE WILL DO to the enemies of Israel. Daniel and Ezekiel should enlighten you further….assuming you agree with God’s prophecies..}
“The last hour would not come unless the muslims will fight against the Jews”
Sahih Muslim book 41 no 6985
Got that?
Have you noticed all the Jewish people being murdered by muslims recently?Like those Jewish children kidnapped and murdered in France by a devout muslim?
Ask your muslim friends to explain.. “There is a Jew behind me..KILL him”
{Sahih Muslim 6985}
Mazal Tov with that one.
No one has done more to fight AGAINST islamic anti-Semitism and anti-Christianity than that brave Robert Spencer;an outstanding,thoroughly well-read expert on the evils of Jihadism.Indeed many Jews,Ex-muslims,Christians and atheists are grateful for his work.
Muslims could learn a lot from him.Alas the lefties don’t have the reasoning faculties..

“When a great genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.”

Does the rabbi realize the muslim woman standing next to him would probably kill him if the cameras weren’t there?
Denial, denial… one reason Hitler amassed so much power and so many of the Jewish faith died..
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Any examples? Of course not.
Enough said.
It may be time for Spencer to start filing defamation lawsuits. This would boost his bandwidth tenfold overnight. As for proving that a defamer did so on purpose, hell, all that was required was to crack open a copy of the Holy Ko-Ran. This sad-sack rabbi didn’t give any examples of Spencer mischaracterizing Islam because he dutifully avoided the easily knowable facts of the matter. That’s intent.
Frank Anderson says
APF, lawsuits cost large amounts of money, take absurd amounts of time, can easily result in a loss where the other side’s fees, costs and expenses might be charged to the plaintiff, or result in a judgment to hang on the wall because it will never be collected. In the California environment what judge or jury would dare find in favor of our honored Robert Spencer? “Pearls before swine”? Spending that time and money on speaking at places where the collaborator/liberals do not control the security or the attendance is probably more productive to the goal of informing the uninformed.

Troybeam says
Never in a million years will I ever understand the Jewish population that supports and protects the Islamic section of society that for all accounts is taught to kill and destroy not only the Jewish population but all others that are not Islamic. Islam not only kills it destroys historical art, books, homes and what ever else it deems un-Islamic.
Question is how do you destroy Islam and its teachings without mass killing of its followers, how does America remove Islam : destroy all mosques, Decree Islam banned from operating in America and with that ban it should include all other against our nation groups as well.
gravenimage says
When Islam was kept isolated from the West–for almost 200 years–we were largely safe from Jihad terror.
Yitz says
Frank please include conservative judaism in the category of reform its just more camouflaged.as for the large number of jews who follow the left its because they were poisoned in colleges and universities who are controlled by the as we all know.
Frank Anderson says
Yitz, I have extremely great admiration for the teachings and wisdom of Judaism. I have spent more than 2 decades in the company of many Jewish friends, where I hope I learned at least a few things. Many of those friends have died. Those that remain seem in the majority to be so “liberal” and bent on appeasement and collaboration that I no longer fit in their company. It saddens me to reflect that half of Germany’s Jews did not get the message before WWII and remained. Of the other half, some got far enough to escape the Holocaust, but others not far enough. I am concerned that history is repeating: “Those who cannot remember. . .”, Jorge Santayana, The Life of Reason (1905).

………………………….
This is grimly hilarious. While Ibrahim itace muhammed claims that ISIS is “Zionists”, he actually agrees with them on every ideological point.
He has confirmed that Muslims can keep sex slaves, that they can rape children, that they can murder anyone who is so much as accused of “blasphemy” (saying anything critical of the “Prophet” Muhammed, the Qur’an, or Islam itself), and mass slaughtering those who resist submission to Islam.
I have asked him numerous times how his views differ from ISIS and other Jihadists, but he has never said–I very much doubt he ever will.
More likely, he just considers ISIS a rival to his own band of Jihadists.
