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).
And there is not going to be any reform or reconsideration of any of that, because even to call for such a thing is “Islamophobic,” according to the foremost institution in Sunni Islam.
“The proposal to exclude from the Koran call to kill Jews angered the sages of al-Azhar,” Koz Times, April 29, 2018:
The most influential school of Sunni Islam, Cairo’s al-Azhar University, condemned the calls by French politicians and public figures to exclude from the Koran line, calling for the murder of Jews and promotes anti-Semitism….
“We urge the deletion from the Qur’an line, calling for the murder of Jews, Christians and unbelievers. These lines are outdated. Similarly, the second Vatican Council condemned anti-Semitism in the Scriptures, that not a single fanatic was not able to use it to protect their crimes,” say the French politicians and public figures.
In response, al-Azhar said that cited in the appeal line is a call not to murder, but a Declaration of readiness to give an answer to those who oppress the faithful, for example, opposed them with arms. As the channel “al Arabiya”, in Egypt, the Manifesto was interpreted as a manifestation of European Islamophobia.

“And there is not going to be any reform or reconsideration of any of that, because even to call for such a thing is ‘Islamophobic’ according to the foremost institution in Sunni Islam.”
It’s even worse than that. It is “Islamophobic” for non-Muslims to cite or to quote the actual text of the Koran with respect to Jew-hatred, or to point out that Muslim perpetrators of violence against Jews often confidently and accurately cite such scripture in justification for their actions. Indeed, there have been at least 3 instances this year in which US imams have publicly called for violence against Jews. When Imams cite this hateful theology and call for the extermination of Jews they are “misunderstood.” When Robert Spencer cites that same theology, he is “Islamophobic.” It’s just mind-boggling that the MSM won’t call this out.

It seemed to me to be French hubris to demand any religion change its basic “holy” book, so this act was either caused the intellectuals believing in the taqqiya of “moderate” muslims or by not doing the basic homework on the topic of their manifest.

“Similarly, the second Vatican Council condemned anti-Semitism in the Scriptures, that not a single fanatic was not able to use it to protect their crimes,”
Not similar, no deletion. Deletion is insane, no religion would accept it.
Here’s what it did:
“ne of the most important theological and global breakthroughs, in terms of what came out of Vatican II. The church radically changed its position on the teaching about Jews, and really opened up to dialogue with the Jewish community; and encouraged — and demanded — that Catholics not consider the Jews as “other” or enemy but in fact, as brothers and sisters under the same God. And it was a monumental shift in the position of the church, and in the teachings of the church. So it was a sea change, in terms of the Catholic Church.”

Al Qur’an (8.55)
Why do you continue to defend a ‘religion’ whose savage God calls 6 billion human beings trash and filth? Clown!

Mohammadism is NOT reformable. What the French are suggesting is impossible; it cannot be done. It has been attempted over and over, and it only leads to more sects of Mohammadism, nothing more.
Niemoller says
In other words, Vatican II broke from the actual words, and turned the Bible into a living document, to be freely interpreted according to the spirit of the age. Sort of like the jurist battle over the U.S. Constitution. I’m not necessarily against that in every instance, but let’s call it what it is. Muhammad specifically said not to do this. The Koran is a hard, brittle book that will only crumble when bent. Call it Muslim fragility.
Norger says
Exactly right. And to question the literal word of Allah as set forth in Koran (the meaning of which has been permanently ascertained/ determined by Islamic scholars) is to commit apostasy for which the penalty is….
Kepha says
This is false. It did nothing to change the text and content of the Bible. It simply pulled itself into line with a bunch of short-sighted, arrogant, and often foolish 19th century German critics who were more Anti-Semitic than anything in the Bible itself (which, from Genesis to Revelation, was written by either Jews or their hangers-on).
I am not RC, but I have read the translation of the documents of Vatican II. They indeed taught me that Rome’s long-held claim of Semper Idem is false; but they did nothing to change the BIble.
BTW, what has been taken as “anti-Semitism” in the NT is an intramural Jewish tiff between those who said Messiah had come and those who said he had not.
Niemoller says
You sound like you know what you’re talking about, but to clarify, I wasn’t saying Vatican II literally changed the words of the Bible–obviously they remain the same. I meant that some of the passages are being intentionally understood and acted upon in a more liberal, broad-minded, flexible and less literal manner than traditionally. I don’t think there is any controversy in that. Your contention that Vatican II aligned with some writings of some German intellectuals only matters if the alignment was with their antisemitic writings, but Vatican II from what I have read was partially intended to rid the Catholic Church of any residual antisemitism.
mortimer says
Lebel compares two situation that have no similarity: THE NEW TESTAMENT IS A VERY PRO-JEWISH BOOK and also WRITTEN BY JEWS. The Christians in certain parts are PERSECUTED BY JUDEANS (in distinction to the Galileans … the heroes). NOT ALL JUDEANS were villains in the New Testament, just certain of the elites who were collaborators with Rome and had flexible morals.
All Jews are not condemned, even when they reject Jesus’ ministry. THERE IS NO TEXT IN THE NT that MANDATES WARFARE AGAINST DISBELIEVERS! Or their EXTERMINATION, DISMEMBERMENT and ENSLAVEMENT.
HOWEVER, the Koran is filled with FIERY and PASSIONATE HATRED DIRECTED AGAINST THE DIRTY KUFAAR.
Lebel is a provocateur whose points are so poorly taken, one wonders why he tries.

Right, start by looking up the words “blood curse” and educate yourself.
All you know is jihadwatch which means you only know as world where Islam is responsible for everything and where a huge worldwide conspiracy keeps the people from discovering this truth.

The Koran mandates WARFARE, KILLING, ENSLAVEMENT, MUTILIATION and TORTURE of the DIRTY KUFAAR.

Let’s see if I’ve got this straight. Muslims are enraged (again) because French kafirs want the Quran scrubbed of its anti-Semitic verses because even the suggestion of changing the Quran is blasphemy and if you don’t like it, you’re an Islamophobe. Never mind that those verses are advocating killing Jews, and other assorted infidels who haven’t submitted to Islam. O.K. Got it. Same old same old. It’s Islam’s way or the highway, as per usual.

Disclaimer (necessary here): As a Christian, I hold absolutely no brief for Islam and the Qur’an. I see the Qur’an as a blasphemous garble except for its intersections with the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments (which are fewer than many commonly suppose).
However, this French call for Al-Azhar to purge the Qur’an strikes me as neo-colonialist post-modern arrogance of the absolutely worst sort. What next? Will it declare the opening of the _Analects_) of Confucius “homophobic” because it affirms a non-sexual same-sex friendship (“Is it not a pleasure when a friend comes from afar?”)?
I note that some posters speak of Vatican II purging anti-Semitism from Christian Scripture. I will defer to the RC’s here, including our esteemed blog host, but I have read the Documents of Vatican II and, charitably, I see nothing but an attempt to be nicer to people who are still “thems” (including us Protestants). I see nothing about the Vatican changing the text or content of Scripture; and had it tried to do so at Vatican II, I’d very gladly see it is simply more proof that Rome is the true Whore of Babylon and Antichrist.
Further, as a student of the Old and New Testaments for my whole adult life, I deny that Christian Scripture is anywhere anti-Semitic–no matter how it has been used at various points in history. All of the Old and New Testaments was written by Jews except for Luke-Acts, and it may well be the case that Luke was a proselyte to Judaism before he became a Christian. If John and Paul wax critical of their Jewish contemporaries for a portion of them rejecting the Messiah (and never forget that John and Paul and their closest associates never saw themselves as anything but Jews themselves), so did Moses and the Prophets over faithlessness to God’s covenant. Indeed, for people like me, the beginning of the West’s self-critical tradition lies not with the Greeks, but with the Hebrews.
These French politicians and innaleckchools seem to be drunk on self-acclaim. Hailed as the center of enlightenment and progress by themselves and various Americans and Germans ridden with a colossal inferiority complex, they seem to believe that their counsel will be heeded by a whole civilization that is founded on a whole different set of axioms, experiences, and traditions than those that went into the heads of Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot-oh=-oh-oh. Should an Islamic world, which, in its own eyes at least, has bested one of the Cold War’s superpowers and may be about to best the other, and is now colonizing its former colonizer, take seriously the mouthings of a group who has led its own culture into decline and cultural suicide?
As for the specific issue of anti-Semitism, the present era of “enlightened” thinking, out of solidarity with Islamic “anti-colonialism” (which seems to be in no hurry to withdraw from Africa, the Fertile Crescent, Anatolia, and Central Asia) is even now dusting off anti-Semitism and re-instating it. It is probably certain that the ‘Ulema at Al-Azhar see this, and for this reason alone, quite apart from Islamic dogma re the eternality and perfection of the Qur’an, wonder how more absurd these Frenchmen could possibly be.

“… [C]alls by French politicians and public figures to exclude from the Koran line, calling for the murder of Jews and promotes anti-Semitism”
This proves conclusively that these ‘French politicians and public figures’ have no understanding of Mohammadism whatsoever. Mohammadism is not reformable in any way. To call for its reform highlights their overweening ignorance!

And Ibrahim itace muhammed’s suppedly defending Jews is grotesque–he has, as I’ve noted, said how much he looks forward to taking part in the genocide of the Jews.
As for Jews “spilling muslim bloods”, this no doubt refers to Jews daring to defend against Jihad. He has said before that no Infidel has the right to do this, but should just roll over and be murdered.
Learning Islam says
Bloodthirsty Imams strong hateful prayers: “Oh Allah, destroy them, they are no match for You. Oh Allah, disperse them, and rend them asunder. Turn them into booty in the hands of the Muslims.” There are 1.6 billion muhammden in the world. there are only 15 ml jews in the world. Most jews in Europe, Nth and Sth America. the ratio of Muslims to Israelis is 153:1. What absurdity!
how a Jewish person might feel about what “holy book” says about them? “No Jew should ever muslims on this world who hate them for an integral part of their identity. but there is never any apology offered for the hatred and threats of death to jews by any muslims or any muslim groups. Only that jews should apologize for the idea of zionism, which has been the idea for 3000yrs or so, without any compulsion against other ‘faiths’ in that regard during that time. But… the muslim idea indeed commands muslims to convert the world until there is only Islam, and that they never allow to be mentioned. And that’s what the answer should be to these lying whiners.
If one were Jewish, and knew what is in the Qur’an about Jews, knew too about the Muslim attacks on Jews in Europe, as at the HyperCacher market, or the Jewish school in Toulouse (where three small children were stabbed to death, along with the father of two of them), one would certainly have a right to be “scared.” If one were Christian, and knew what has happened to Christians in the Middle East, in North Africa, in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Indonesia, at the hands of Muslims, couldn’t one be legitimately “scared’?
This profound Jew-hatred is ingrained in Islamic supremacists and is often spewed publicly with no consequences. Some recent cases reported by Jihad Watch include:
•Toronto imam Ayman Elkasrawy prayed that Allah would kill all Jews, but instead of receiving a just penalty, Elkasrawy’s words were covered up by the Toronto Star. Robert Spencer held The Star accountable and took them to task, as did Honest Reporting.
•Another Toronto imam, Sheikh Abdulqani Mursal, at Masjid Al Hikma mosque in Toronto, explained that the fate of the Jews is to be killed by the Muslims.
•In the Netherlands, Muslims at a pro-Palestinian rally screamed and chanted about killing Jews.
•In Marseille, a former principal at a preparatory school for teens admitted to regularly advising Jews not to attend his institution, for fear of harassment by Muslim students.
•Saudi Cleric Mamdouh Al-Harb preached that the “Muslims’ war is with the Jews and not just with Zionists’ and that saying otherwise ‘constitutes a denial of the words of Allah and of the Prophet Muhammad’”.
•The list is endless. Meanwhile, UN Watch fired back at countries accusing Israel of apartheid and abuses: “Where are your Jews?”
One of the worst examples of Islamic Jew-hatred is the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement that acts against Israel for no justifiable reason. It aims to delegitimize the Jewish state, weaken it and finally destroy it, in accordance with the PA, Fatah, Hamas Charters and the repeated efforts by the Muslim countries surrounding Israel.
Anyone who doesn’t know the depth of Muslim hate should understand that, while their koran specifies Jews as its most hated, Christians, or in fact all non-Muslims other than Jews are also targets of opportunity to them. And, I use the word “them” because those who do not comply with Islam’s hate directives are few and far between.
“Anti-Semitic thinking and stereotyping are very common … even among those who emphasize that they ‘respect’ Judaism or that there is no problem living together between Muslims, Christians and Jews in their countries of origin,” Anti-Semitism among Muslim refugees is rampant and requires urgent attention. given the depth of anti-Jewish hostility in Arab and Islamic countries, this is not surprising based on the stereotypes that are implanted in schools, mosques and government propaganda in islamic countries
