Did anyone seriously think this hatred would not come to America? 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).
“Detroit Shiite Imam Bassem Al-Sheraa: The Jews Prostituted Their Women, Killed Prophets, Employed Usury to Gain Power,” MEMRI, January 27, 2019:
On January 27, 2019, an antisemitic lecture by Michigan-based Shi’ite Imam Bassem Al-Sheraa was uploaded to the YouTube channel of the Al-Zahraa Islamic Center, which is in Detroit. Al-Sheraa said that the Jews have distorted sacred texts and sanctioned the killing of prophets such as Jesus and John the Baptist. He accused the Jews of employing tricks and fraud in matters of religion and morality, and of amassing gold and spreading usury. Explaining that usury is a “peculiar Jewish philosophy,” Imam Al-Sheraa said that the Jews have used it as a means of attaining power, even though it contradicts their religious teachings, and that even the modern banking system is based on the Jews’ “instructions and vision.” He further said that Jewish women have historically established and managed “dens of female iniquity” and headed the brothels of Europe, and that the Jews allow their faith to be passed down maternally so that their women could increase the Jewish population through prostitution. Al-Sheraa is a graduate of the Najaf Hawza in Iraq. He emigrated to the United States and serves as the imam of the Al-Zahraa Islamic Center of Michigan. He also founded the Scholarly Najaf Hawza in Northern America – Michigan.
Following are excerpts:
Bassem Al-Sheraa: Yahya [John the Baptist], with all his greatness and his glory, was a prophet, as was his father… [The Jews] excommunicated him and then sanctioned his killing. He wasn’t just killed – he was declared a heretic and his head was chopped off. Jesus, son of Mary, was also declared a heretic by them. They excommunicated him. They said that he was not a Jew. Then the Romans killed him. They arrested him in order to crucify him. But it was the Jews who issued the religious ruling about it. The Roman ruler… When the Romans wanted to arrest Jesus, they got a religious ruling from the Jews that said that he did not represent them and that he had been excommunicated. The Jews sanctioned his killing.
[…]
[The Jews] employ tricks and fraud in matters of religion and moral values. They distort [sacred texts], and therefore it is said that the Jews would often kill their own prophets. They would sanction the killing of one another. In addition, they allowed their women to engage in prostitution, God forbid. Following the [Babylonian] captivity, when Nebuchadnezzar exiled them and destroyed the Temple, the Jews said: ‘Money and women are our most powerful weapons.’ So they would amass gold and money, and they would spread usury. Usury constitutes a peculiar Jewish philosophy… Even in the modern world, global banks are based on the culture of usury, which is a Jewish concept. Since a long time ago, the Jews have been lending people money and collecting interest, even though it is forbidden according to their religious law. Allowing usury is one of the things they did to circumvent their [scriptures]. The Jews permitted usury and have been usurers. They are still proud of this. Look at the global banks, the billionaires… All those are from among [the Jews]. Their culture is a culture of usury. The financial culture of the world was founded according to their instructions and their vision. Why? Because they consider [usury] to be an instrument of control.
[…]
In addition, they allowed their women to engage in [prostitution]. Pardon my language, but the brothels of Europe were established by them. Their women would manage those dens of female iniquity. Most dens of gambling, usury, and so on were run by them. They are always like that. They control people’s resources through such tricks and deception. They consider it to be a reward and a way to serve their religion. They employ these means to control rather than be controlled. So they said that the son of a Jewish woman is a Jew, even if his father is not Jewish. They even issued a religious ruling to that effect. The Old Testament and the Torah say that a child belongs to his father. If the father is Jewish, then the son is Jewish as well, and if the father is not Jewish, then the child is not Jewish, either. But in the Talmud, the priests changed this. They said that the son of a Jewish woman is a Jew. Therefore, they sent their women around and said to them: “Go [fornicate], and if you get pregnant, bring us the children and we will accept them as Jews.” This is their way to increase their numbers.

I dearly love Judaism and its teachings in spite of the choices made by some who claim adherence. I will observe that most Jewish women are in sufficient control of any relationship that the women decide and the men say, “Yes Ma’am.” The arrangement works pretty well most of the time.

A kid comes home from Hebrew school one day and joyously shouts to his mother: ” I got a part in the Chanukah play. I get to play the father,”
His mother replies: ” Now you go right back and tell them you want a speaking part”.
Kinda sums it up eh Frank?
That’s for the small decisions anyway.
Frank Anderson says
The mutual respect I have seen in many Jewish couples is inspiring. I think it starts as parents show it to each other as they teach their children. While not always the case, it does happen-in stark contrast to “competing” communities. “There are no perfectly good, or perfectly bad people: There is always something to be learned.”

Imam Bassem Al-Sheraa really lets his bigotry off the leash in this reprehensible and unsubstantiated rant.
“They are always like that,” he claims. He states his absurd bigoted opinions as facts.
Psychological projection is the act or technique of defending oneself against unpleasant, immature or neurotic impulses by denying their existence in oneself, while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is rude may accuse other people of being rude.
Muslim apologists attribute to ‘others’ all the immoral traits they find reprehensible in themselves and which are sacralized in the Koran, Sira and hadiths.
All American Jews should view this video and take the ideas expressed VERY seriously. Imam Bassem Al-Sheraa takes his own bigoted opinions VERY seriously … and there are thousands like him … I have met a number who have no difficulty accepting what al Sheraa claims. Why bring these bigots into the US?

Figures released the other day indicate the number of anti-Semitic attacks in the UK has shot up. In the media, naturally, nowhere, is there any suggestion of the ethnicity or faith of the attackers if known.

He seems to be all confused:that’s islam he’s talking about..
At least the Jews have concepts unknown to muslims:the commandments of God{Exodus 20}
muslims should follow allah’s advice in k10:94 and “consult those who know the Scripture that was before thee”{i.e the Bible}:they would of course then discover how WRONG the koran is and how it missed God’s Laws.

A religiously observant Jew or an authentic and sincere Christian look up at the sky at night:Is there a God behind all this?In christianity and Judaism there is: a God of love,a God who is based on those 2 Love commandments.
“Well Glory be to God!The God who actually owns the world”
A muslim fanatic looks at the sky at night:is there a god behind all this?In islam it is allah “The best of deceivers”: an antisemitic,antichristian,misogynistic,obtuse,scientifically,linguistically,mathematically,theologically and logically-challenged god of hate{al walaa wal baraa} who thinks Moses and Jesus are muslims,babies can speak,Christians are polytheists and curses everybody who is not a muslim{k9:30}
“allahu akbar!Death to Israel and America and kill all the Jews,the Christians,the Hindus,the Buddhists,the Sikhs,the pagans,the Atheists,the apostates..let us take over the planet with violence and hate and destroy all the places of worship of infidels on behalf of our god who is so much greater than the God of the infidels,those Jews with their “commandments” and polytheist Christians with their sinister “love one another”…..”

A judgement on morality from a Muslim, oh the flipping irony.
Michael Copeland says
“Then the Romans killed him”, says Bassem Al-Sheraa.
This statement is in contradiction – denial – of Koran 4:157, “They did not kill him, for certain”.
The penalty for denying any verse in the Koran is death (Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” o8(7)).
Anyone may perform this killing without penalty “since it is killing someone who deserves to die” (Reliance o8.4).
Savvy Kafir says
There will be psychopathic hatred of Jews as long as there is Islam, because the prophet of Islam was a Jew-hating psychopath. And the Allah junkies are too stupid, too intellectually lazy, and too lacking in anything like a real moral compass to think their way out of the hatred.

Madeleine Dunn says
What other religious leader gives a sermon of hate and accusations against another entire religious group of people except Islam’s clerics? The religion is the hatred of Jews religion. Apparently that spiritually uplifts the crowd, just like when there is stoning under sharia law, or beheading and a crowd stands around and shouts praises to Allah and appear joyful. It is the cult of a warlord who preyed upon, murdered and pillaged caravans of infidels. Allah the god of hate, a blood lusting demon that Muhammad replaced for the God our Father of Abraham.
Frank Anderson says
Ms. Dunn, with all the sincere courtesy and respect I can offer: Please think about what describes or defines a religion. If one spends any substantial time watching Hitler and Goebbels speak, and if one looks at Himmler’s great affection for islam, Nazism is arguably a religion which taught from Hitler’s first public speech, before the German Workers’ Party changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers Party, that Jews were the source of all evil, just as islam has taught for 1400 years.
Karl Marx wrote that religion is the opiate of the people and sought to replace prior religions with Communism, making genocidal efforts to exterminate any resistance. According to some accounts Stalin died for lack of treatment while planning the extermination of Soviet Jews because his Jewish doctor had enough of Stalin’s mass killings. Stalin had death quotas for his regional governors, who either killed regardless of crime, or were killed for failing to meet the quota.
I continue to argue that granting the Constitutional shield of religion to a criminal conspiracy to enslave and kill is wrong and should be ended while the Constitution still has some meaning.

I do not understand why any western country allows this hate speech, and looks the other way to the out-and-out lies. By doing so it only reinforces the united in hate political road to self destruction. Not just to those who speak the hate, but to all. A no win.
