David Andrew Weinberg of the Anti-Defamation League presents the Saudi textbook material as if it were some aberration, a manifestation of Saudi “extremism.” In reality, however, it’s standard Islam.
“This academic year, once again Saudi Arabia’s high school monotheism textbooks teach that infidels such as Jews and Christians are ‘the enemies of Islam and its people’ and that proper observance of Islam requires ‘abhorring the infidels’ and ‘enmity’ toward them.”
“You will surely find the most intense of the people in enmity toward the believers to be the Jews and those who associate others with Allah…” (Qur’an 5:82)
“There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, ‘Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone.'” (Qur’an 60:4)
“These textbooks characterize Shiite Muslims — like those who make up the majority in Iran — as polytheists and declare that Jews, Christians, and polytheists are “the most evil of creatures.”
“Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of creatures.” (Qur’an 98:6)
“Saudi Arabia’s current high school religion textbooks also call for violence against such people. One textbook urges ‘fighting the infidels and polytheists’ except under limited extenuating circumstances. Another, this one on the subject of sayings attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, calls for jihad through ‘battling with the infidels by proselytizing them and fighting them.’”
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them…. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them. (Sahih Muslim 4294.)
“Another teaches the importance of ‘exposing the People of the Book,’ meaning Jews and Christians, and ‘urging to fight them.’”
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah nor the Last Day, and do not forbid what has been forbidden by Allah and his messenger, and do not acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).
“But Jews — who are described in the textbooks as devious, deceptive schemers…”
“And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, ‘This is from Allah,’ but it is not from Allah. And they speak untruth about Allah while they know.” (Qur’an 3:78)
“One Saudi textbook advocates the beating of women, teaching that it is ‘a means of discipline’ and ‘permitted when necessary.’”
“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” (Qur’an 4:34)
“The kingdom’s introductory high school textbook on Islamic jurisprudence teaches that the penalty for adultery is death by stoning and that people who engage in anal sex or who mock or convert away from Islam should also be killed.”
Stoning for adultery: “Umar said, ‘I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, “We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book,” and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession.”’ Sufyan added, ‘I have memorized this narration in this way.’ Umar added, ‘Surely Allah’s Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him.’” (Bukhari 8.82.816)
Anal sex: “The Prophet said: If anyone resorts to a diviner and believes in what he says (according) to the version of Musa), or has intercourse with his wife (according to the agreed version) when she is menstruating, or has intercourse with his wife through her anus, he has nothing to do with what has been sent down to Muhammad – according to the version of Musaddad.” (Sunan Abu Dawud 3904)
Converting away from Islam: a hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.” (Bukhari 9.84.57)
Mocking Islam: “Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: A Jewess used to abuse the Prophet and disparage him. A man strangled her till she died. The Apostle of Allah declared that no recompense was payable for her blood.” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4349)
“Saudi textbooks still foment hate: The kingdom’s education materials are rife with anti-Semitism and calls to hurt Shiites, gays, women and more,” by David Andrew Weinberg, New York Daily News, November 30, 2018:
…How bad is it? The kingdom’s new books for the 2018-2019 school year continue to teach hatred or even violence against Jews, Christians, Shiites, women, gay men and anybody who mocks or converts away from Islam.
This academic year, once again Saudi Arabia’s high school monotheism textbooks teach that infidels such as Jews and Christians are “the enemies of Islam and its people” and that proper observance of Islam requires “abhorring the infidels” and “enmity” toward them. These textbooks characterize Shiite Muslims — like those who make up the majority in Iran — as polytheists and declare that Jews, Christians, and polytheists are “the most evil of creatures.”
Saudi Arabia’s current high school religion textbooks also call for violence against such people.
One textbook urges “fighting the infidels and polytheists” except under limited extenuating circumstances. Another, this one on the subject of sayings attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, calls for jihad through “battling with the infidels by proselytizing them and fighting them.”
Another teaches the importance of “exposing the People of the Book,” meaning Jews and Christians, and “urging to fight them.”
In addition to calling Christianity “an invalid and perverted religion,” the books teach incorrectly that the American Universities in Beirut and Cairo are among the top sources of Christian missionary work at the expense of Islam in the world today.
But Jews — who are described in the textbooks as devious, deceptive schemers — are an even greater target than Christians for false conspiracy theories in the current Saudi curriculum. For example, these books teach that “a main goal” for the vast majority of Jewish organizations today is to destroy the al-Aqsa Mosque and that the ultimate objective of Zionism is a “global Jewish government to control the entire world.”
One Saudi textbook advocates the beating of women, teaching that it is “a means of discipline” and “permitted when necessary.”
The kingdom’s introductory high school textbook on Islamic jurisprudence teaches that the penalty for adultery is death by stoning and that people who engage in anal sex or who mock or convert away from Islam should also be killed….

Yes, it can be … and it is. Islam actually teaches ‘HATE YOUR NON-MUSLIM NEIGHBOR FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH.’

RonaldB says
The Saudi teachings are very interesting in light of the fairly open relationship between the Israelis and the Saudis to keep Iran in its place. I think their anti-Jewish outlook will not hinder the Saudis too much when it comes to keeping their wealth, their kingdom, or their influence in the Middle East, partly through their implicit alliance with Israel.
The Saudi aristocracy has been promising for years to “modernize” their curricula, and somehow, by a miracle, it cycles back to traditional Islamic teaching each and every time. Actually, I have very little concern with what the Saudis teach their children, as long as the US doesn’t place itself, through reckless and massive deficit spending, in the position of having to approve Saudi use of US currency in such purchases as newspapers, technology companies, real estate, and and educational institutions. Oops!!!!!!!
Walter Sieruk says
Those Islamic textbooks of Saudi Arabia which instruct in jihad violence as well as hate towards Jews and Christians along with the instruction the its good to put who commit apostasy to death are all teachings or fruits of the religion of Islam For Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Furthermore, it may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.] In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.

Like all lib leftists- the author hasn’t a clue as to what to do about this. It’s only to point a boney finger and screech. Maybe pass a couple laws to show utter indignation. What do they ever do? Which muslems would he allign with, and why- those who say they are for peace and one world and equality but don’t don’t ever criticize their qu’ran???
Which is all of them.

Message to D.A. Weinberg … “LEARN” http://tawheednyc.com/aqeedah/al%20walaa%20wal%20baraa/AL_WALA.pdf
mortimer says
SMUG, UNREAD, UNSTUDIED FOOLS like David Andrew Weinberg are SHOCKED! SHOCKED! that Islam has a doctrine of HATE directed from Muslims against the DIRTY DISBELIEVING KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Allah hates the dirty KUFAAR (whom he created and misguides) and ALLAH expects all Muslims to HATE THEM TOO… ‘for the sake of Allah’.
This teaching is OFFICIAL and ORTHODOX ISLAM. It is called AL WALAA WAL BARAA.
You CANNOT UNDERSTAND Islam without a THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE of AL WALAA WAL BARAA.
I strongly urge Jihad Watch readers to READ UP ON AL WALAA WAL BARAA and explain it to their family and acquaintances.
YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND ISLAM WITHOUT IT.
mortimer says
READ ABOUT AL WALAA WAL BARAA HERE:
https://www.slideshare.net/kingabid/al-walaa-wal-baraa-fawzaan-english-pdf
mortimer says
HATE IS NORMATIVE ISLAM, RATHER THAN AN ABERRATION … the proof …
Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk.
-Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. – https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/
-Shaykh Ahmad ibn ‘Atiq said:
“There isn’t in the Book of Allah the Exalted – after the issue concerning the obligation of tawheed and the forbiddance of its opposite (kufr=wrong belief)- any issue which has as so many proofs, nor so clearly explained, than the issue of al-walaa’ and al-baraa’.” (W-B is ‘Islamic apartheid’)
– Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and hate the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”
– from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in INSULTING kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to HUMILIATE them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain TERRIFIED and TREMBLING. It is intended to hold them under CONTEMPT and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
– from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”
– from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”
– from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to SHOW ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
(Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their ENMITY or HATRED towards the kufaar)
– from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.”
(Note: not ‘if the time comes’, but ‘WHEN the time comes.)
– “Killing a Kafir who is fighting you is OK. Killing a Kafir for any reason (i.e. criticism of Islam), you can say, it is OK – even if there is NO REASON for it. You can poison, ambush and kill non-believers. You must have a stand with your heart, with your tongue, with your money, with your hand, with your sword, with your Kalashnikov. Don’t ask shall I do this, just do it.”Abu Hamza al-Masri (Egyptian born British Cleric)
– “As a Muslim, I must have hatred for anything non-Islam” – Anjem Choudary.

Exactly. All we hear from islamophiles like Theresa May and her ilk, is how jihad stems from a twisted, extreme version of lslam. Moderate lslam can’t ever exist, except as a leftist myth, because a reformed lslam would only contain a few meccan platitudes stripped of the filth that is presently revered as True lslam. lt would never be accepted by the millions of devoted sheep, hypnotised by mohammed and his psychopathic cult.

Wellington says
The only ones who should (could?) be surprised here are those still capable of being surprised by what Islam intends for all of humanity.
This “group” would include both Muslims ignorant of so much of what their faith really teaches and non-Muslims ignorant of what Mo’s creed has in mind for us all.
Both subdivisions of this “group” are injurious to humanity’s destiny, as are all those Muslims, like the Saudi hierarchy, who actually know what Islam has in mind for all of us.
Yes, quite a trinity—possessed (oh, what an appropriate word, no?)—of a dearth of information OR completely filled with the wrong kind of “accuracy.”
Islam: Anyway you look at it, it is bad news for mankind, whether you comprehend what it intends or if you don’t. The only way to defeat it, and defeated it most certainly deserves to be, is to know it to its core and realize the iniquity which resides within.
It is unlike any other religion on earth. Surely. And unlike any other religion on earth it has the capacity to place mankind into an eternal dark age from which there is no egress. Yes, Islam is this terrible. Doubt me? Well then, just look as the over fifty nations where Islam is predominant. See what I mean?

I’m actually surprised to see someone from the ADL acknowledge what the Saudis teach their children. This is a good first step. The ADL should be encouraged to enquire where the teaching comes from.
Perhaps they might realize that they have been lied to and that public policy in relation to Islam should be based on the reality of Islam, not the fantasies of Bush, Obama, and Hillary Clinton., nor on the lies of CAIR.
seabird says
While Islamic countries promote “blasphemy laws” for criticizing Islam, America should enforce “hate speech” laws by revoking tax-exempt status to any religion promoting hatred and violence and banning the construction of Saudi-financed mosques.
Promoting an “Arab NATO” is also an absurd lunaticy.
Rep Tulsi Gabbard (a Democrat) said it best; “stop being Saudi Arabia’s b@$ch”, Mr Trump.
