What al-Astal says here is straight from the Qur’an.
“The Jews engaged in great corruption to the point that Allah said, ‘The Jews said that the hands of Allah are shackled. May their hands be shackled, and may they be cursed for what they said.’ [Allah] also said: ‘Whenever they kindle fire for war, Allah extinguishes it. They strive to corrupt the land. Allah does not love those who corrupt.'”
That’s Qur’an 5:64.
“There are more descriptions of the Jews in the Quran, such as: ‘Because of their breaking the covenant, their rejecting the signs of Allah and their slaying of the prophets unjustly…'”
That’s Qur’an 4:155.
“The truth is that we do not have time to list all their abominations, which merited their transformation into apes and pigs…”
That’s Qur’an 2:63-65, 5:59-60, and 7:166.
“Hamas MP and Cleric Yunis Al-Astal: The Abominations of the Jews Merited Their Transformation into Apes and Pigs,” MEMRI, August 1, 2018:
During a parliamentary session in Gaza, Hamas MP and cleric Yunis Al-Astal recited at length quotes from the Quran, vilifying the Jews. “We do not have time to list their abominations, which merited their transformation into apes and pigs,” he added, saying that due to these faults, Jewish scholars were described as “dogs,” and the simple people were described as “donkeys.” Al-Astal further said that Allah has gathered “those corrupters” in Palestine in order “to annihilate their corruption at the hands of His servants of great might,” and ended with a recommendation to produce a generation of “servants of Allah with great might.” The Gaza parliamentary session aired on Al-Quds TV (Lebanon) on August 1, 2018.

The truth is that we do not have time to list all their abominations, which merited their transformation into apes and pigs, and which led to some of their scholars being described as dogs, and their simple people as donkeys….

Yeah, and Arachne was turned into a spider, and Cinderella’s mice turned into servants. A religious preacher knows a much about science as I do about particle physics. And what does Mohammed have to say about microbes and viruses? Fake knowledge is no replacement for ignorance.

Sorry, to finish that rant let me say: only reality is worth knowing.

The Jews are both morally and intellectually superior to Muslims in every way possible, and the contribution to mankind outshines that of the Muslims like the sun to a candle. If anybody behaves in every country in the world like pigs and dogs it is Muslims and their religious leaders are the very worst of them as most Muslims are just like sheep.

But I bet you don’t know Arabic and Quranic Science as well as Sheikh Yunis al-Astal. Don’t you know that the Quran is a scientific miracle?

We know what the Jews did; what’s his excuse?
Phil Copson says
Hmm – do these people never look in a mirror and say to themselves: “You know what, Yunis me old mate? I must be some kind of a right pillock going around dressed-up in robes and talking cobblers all day long – I wonder if it’s too late to take up something more interesting like table-tennis or bee-keeping…?”
Sadly – I don’t suppose they ever do…
Walter Sieruk says
As to why this Muslim cleric, Al-Astal so very adamantly declared the Jews are “abominations …merited their transformation in apes and pigs” has much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is for a specific time period of his life Muhammad lived among many Jewish people and he liked them at first. Later then they would not accept his claim of being of prophet, Muhammad then took is dislike to them that then turned into bitterness and even hate for them. So in the hate and bitterness he spoke many derogatory things about the as even referring to them as “apes and swine.” Such word of bitterness and hate, along with other thing he said, where written down on things and then later after his death those words were together together and then eventually, in time went in the composition of the Koran. Therefore, that why the Koran reads and in does about the Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Koran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60. Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that there is a chance the Muhammad actually might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead, Muhammad was a deceptive, lying false prophet send by Satan to lead many people astray and even and straight into hell. Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned of the coming of such men as Muhammad. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. In addition, the Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone out into the world.” First John 4:1. [K.J.V.]
Fred Middleton says
So, I don’t get this: have the Jews supposdely already turned into apes and pigs, but look and behave human; or is this some future event?
kuriakose says
Fred Middleton:
Maybe a reverse evolution? (just joking!).
Beats me how they can get away saying this daily. But it is in a sense good they say so; we should confront the apologists for islam with statements like this.
mortimer says
Islam’s sacred texts are usually contradicted by others parts in the sacred texts.
Muslims spend much of their lives learning why Allah did not say what he said and that Mohammed also did not say what HE said.
Allah and Mohammed were such bad communicators that they now need armies of interpreters to re-write history.
Islam is bunkum. Islam is amoral and changing the ‘facts’ back and forth is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
gravenimage says
Muslims are, as Mortimer notes, contradictory on this. Some think only a small group of Jews were turned into apes and pigs for not observing the sabbath; others consider all Jews to be ‘descended from apes and pigs’.
It hardly matters, though–Muslims use this to dehumanize Jews and make them targets.
boakai ngombu says
these teachers know nothing of the CREATION accomplished by God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) they blaspheme with their stupid utterances
even the evolutionists of the world must grimace at such nonsense and illogic. academe, where are you?
WPM says
What have Moslems brought to the world in last 1400 years ,war , rape , destruction of any cultural things that have to do with art or music. Illogical though ,oppression of women , slavery, and hatred of any religious outside of their Islamic sect. Some of the greatest scientist ,artist ,inventors , were Jewish because the Jewish religion favors logical, knowledge ,the golden rule and the freedom to question things inside and outside of religion .The Jews fully embrace with society they move into, be it in Europe or the Americas making themselves an asset as a whole in those societies. They want one small countries in the Middle East to call for their own ,Moslems have 57 Moslem majority countries in the world to call their own.
James Lincoln says
The IQ of Ashkenazi Jews is 100 – 115.
Compare this to the average IQ of the average Muslim in an Islamic country.
This Muslim cleric declaring Jews “apes and pigs” is projecting – and is jealous.
FYI says
So where does that leave the following JEWS?
Moses
ALL OT Biblical prophets
Jesus Christ
ALL NT Apostles and St John the Baptist
You see that?They are ALL …JEWS.
What do the islamic “scholars” say about that?(without playing that “let’s pretend all the Jews are actually muslims” game)
Let’s try and see if some Logic can work on the scholars of islam:-
Since allah calls the Jews “apes,to be despised and hated” in koran 2:65
AND..
Since Moses and Jesus Christ are Jews…
THEN..
Doesn’t that mean that according to allah/koran/islam that..
Moses and Jesus Christ,being Jews, are “apes,to be despised and hated”?
Oh dear:How WILL the scholars of islam explain that away?
Oh I know:by PRETENDING that Moses and Jesus are actually.. muslims
{like Abraham,Noah etc:that’s right they were all muslims.allah and his muslims simply cannot accept the fact that they might be Jews because you see he has called the Jews “apes to be despised and hated”}
Can anyone see the ludicrous,disgusting, anti-semitic elephant in the room of islam??

Muslims believe all the Jewish prophets were actually Muslims.

Here’s a tale of Pakistani-born Iqra Khalid, Justin Trudeau’s cabinet minister of M-103 fame, and this time she has given an award for the second time, to her old buddy, anti-semitic Amin El-Maoued, but when she’s caught, she denies knowing he had extremist views:

ElderlyZionist says
It’s worse than you realize. Muslims claim all of these Biblical figures as – Muslims. They believe that Jews and Christians have corrupted the true faith of Abraham, but Muslims have preserved it. Really.
Politicianophobia says
Iqra Khalid was at Palestine house a few days after introducing M-103 and the men thanked Sister Khalid for introducing M-103. She is #2 on my list of MPs who MUST be defeated in 2019. Remember all the Liberals and all the NDP supported M-103. 2019
