Saudi wife of man imprisoned for “insulting Islam”: “We grew up from childhood hating, cursing Jews”

Sep 14, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This will only come as a surprise to those who are unaware that 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).

“We grew up from childhood hating, cursing Jews,” by Ensaf Haidar, Jerusalem Post, September 12, 2019:

We were taught in the Arab world that the Holocaust was just a big lie. It was only when we grew up and opened ourselves to the world of ideas and humanity that we discovered Jews are in fact human beings, and good people, too.

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ensaf Haidar. I am the wife of Raif Badawi, a prisoner of conscience who is now serving his seventh year behind dark, cold prison walls in Saudi Arabia.

Two days after the horrific Charlie Hebdo massacre, my husband was dragged from his jail cell in Jeddah, brought to a square in front of Al-Jafali Mosque, and administered the first phase – 50 lashes – of a public flogging.

His crime? His indictment says he was guilty of “insulting Islam” and “producing what would disturb public order, religious values and morals.”

His real crime, in fact, can be summarized in one sentence: He believed in his fundamental right to express his opinion.

Freedom of expression is at the heart of Raif’s case.

Also central to his case is Raif’s vision of a different future for his country and region; a future based on our shared humanity; one based on acceptance, respect and mutual understanding; one that aspires for peace in the region.

Central to this vision is an end to the discourse of hatred that we have learned in our childhood, mainstreamed by extremist religious dogmas and cynical governmental exploitation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Central to this vision is an acceptance that we are all equal in dignity and rights regardless of our religion, thoughts, gender, color or social status.

Central to this vision is the recognition that Jews are not our enemies….

      Islamic teaching trains people to behave like savages. If government officials obey their oath, they will not be exposing our law abiding citizens to savages on purpose.

      “I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.[8]”

      And it will become much worse when the oil begins to run out. The thousands will turn to millions. The Arab governments which are incompetent now will send their hordes of illiterates to the west. Our socialist governments will be ousted but it will be too late.

    Talk about projection !
    Allah (Mohammad) accusing Jews in the Koran:

    …they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah” (2:79; 3:75, 3:181)
    …They are disputing and quarreling” (2:247);
    …hiding the truth and misleading people” (3:78)
    …giving preference to their own interests …” (2:87);
    …wishing evil for people and trying to get 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);
    …being merciless and heartless (2:74);
    …never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100);
    …being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79)

    The greatest Deceiver and the greatest Accuser is guilty of that of which he accuses others ! Sadly, those who believe in Allah and Mohammad share in that guilt and wickedness to some extent.

      If we were to say that a group of defined people were merciless, never kept their promises and wished evil for people, would this be classed as “hate speech” ?

        It’s long past time that we stop ‘dignifying’ or honoring the IdiotLibs when they call us racist. The term has been rendered meaningless by misuse and overuse. We should laugh at these fools when they call us racists, sort of like a vampire laughing at a human who holds up a crucifix!!

      As a dyed-in-the-wool grammar authoritarian, I believe the lady’s usage acceptable. She was clearly speaking of her own personal experience and that of her incarcerated husband, even if she probably knows full well that similar teaching is still given in Saudi schools and media, and condemns it. She speaks of teaching she received in the past, and, apparently, now rejects. The past tense is acceptable in this case.

    As Muslims increasingly are exposed to Western thinkers, they are applying critical thought to Islam. That leads to cognitive dissonance. Ignorance of the primary source texts of Islam kept Muslims from learn the facts about Islam’s misogyny, kafir-hatred, Jew-hatred and other amoral and opportunistic teachings. Now, Muslims cannot avoid learning all the unsavory bits that were previously covered up and concealed.

    Very quietly, about 10 million Muslims are dropping out every year. They are doing so while pretending to be Muslim in front of their families. These secret apostates are giving Islam a good name among uninformed kafirs, because the kafirs don’t know Islam’s real doctrines. These clueless Pollyanna dupes think that apostates from Islam represent the mainstream. They don’t know what jihad is and are easily tricked by the least bit of taqiyya.

    Ya gotta admire the Moslems for being transparent about their antisemitism. Not so much with Infidel anti-Semites, they’re coy about their Jew-hating and fall-guy blame-laying. It could be that the Infidels are confused about their antisemitism, and they seem to be. But no one can say that Moslems aren’t confused, they are, but with a strong sense of certitude.

    So kudos to the hairy people.

    Winston Churchill said:

    “Some people like Jews and some do not,
    but no thoughtful man can doubt the fact
    that they are beyond all question the most
    formidable and the most remarkable race
    which has ever appeared in the world.”

    SOURCE 1: Winston Churchill,
    1920 February 8, in the Illustrated Sunday
    Herald
    , a British Sunday newspaper

    SOURCE 2: Churchill and the Jews
    (chapter 4, page 38) by Martin Gilbert, 2007

    SOURCE 3: Churchill: Walking
    With Destiny
    (chapter 12, page 278)
    by Andrew Roberts, Viking Publishers,
    year 2018, ISBN 1101980990 & 9781101980996

    CHRONOLOGY:
    Winston Churchill was British Prime Minister
    from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955.

    ===================================
    Winston Churchill said this in year 1937:

    “[Winston] Churchill did not accept that the Jews
    were a foreign race [to the Holy Land]. He said it was
    the Arabs who had been the outsiders, the conquerors.”

    SOURCE: Churchill and the Jews
    (chapter 10, page 115) by Martin Gilbert, year 2007

    CHRONOLOGY:
    Sir Winston Churchill was British Prime Minister
    from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955.

    HISTORY NOTE:

    According to the Wikipedia internet encyclopedia,
    these lands were conquered by the Rashidun Caliphs,
    from year 632 to year 661 of the Common Era
    (from west to East): Libya, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon,
    Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Eastern Turkey, and Iran.

    Therefore, Winston Churchill was correct when
    he said that the Muslims were the outsiders
    and conquerors, with respect to the land of Israel.

    ===================================
    Sir Winston Churchill said [in year 1946]:

    “I am against preventing Jews from doing
    anything which other people are allowed to do.”

    SOURCE: Churchill and the Jews
    (chapter 23, page 205) by Martin Gilbert, year 2007

    CHRONOLOGY:
    Sir Winston Churchill was British Prime Minister
    from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955.

  14. Mr. Cohen says

    Sep 15, 2019 at 5:21 am

    Sir Winston Churchill said [in year 1955]:

    “You ought to let the Jews have Jerusalem;
    it is they who made it famous.”

    ISBN-10: 0805088644 * ISBN-13: 978-0805088649

    ===================================
    [Winston] Churchill wrote, on 3 June 1950:

    “The thought, the inspiration and the culture of
    the Jews has been one of the vital dominants in
    the world history.

    There are none of the arts or sciences which
    have not been enriched by Jewish achievements.”

    SOURCE: Churchill and the Jews
    (chapter 26, pages 280 to 281) by Martin Gilbert, year 2007
    ISBN-10: 0805088644 * ISBN-13: 978-0805088649

    ===================================
    [Winston] Churchill spoke [in year 1954]
    of the Jewish Nobel Prizewinners, whose contribution
    to humanity in many fields had been “unique and absolute.”

    There were nations of hundreds of millions of
    people who had been unable to produce a single
    Nobel Prizewinner, “and are the beneficiaries every
    day from the genius and discoveries of the Jews.”

    As for the Arabs of Palestine, [Winston]
    Churchill wrote [in year 1929], they had been
    brought, as a result of the Jewish presence there:

    “Nothing but good gifts, more wealth, more trade,
    more civilization, new sources of revenue,
    more employment, a higher rate of wages,
    larger cultivated areas, a better water supply;
    in a word, the fruits of reason and modern science.”

    SOURCE: Churchill and the Jews
    (chapter 8, page 92) by Martin Gilbert, year 2007

    CHRONOLOGY:
    Sir Winston Churchill was British Prime Minister
    from 1940 to 1945 CE and from 1951 to 1955 CE

    ===================================
    The 1929 September 13 edition of the
    New York Times printed an article
    which quoted Winston Churchill saying:

    “To Jewish enterprise, the Arab owes nearly
    everything he has. Fanaticism and a sort of
    envy have driven the Arab to violence and
    for the present the problem is one of proper
    policing until harmony has been restored.”

    SOURCE: Churchill and the Jews
    (chapter 8, page 92) by Martin Gilbert, year 2007

    ===================================
    This comment from Winston Churchill
    appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle
    dated 1929 September 12, one day after he said it:

    “The Jews have developed the country,
    grown orchards and grain fields out of
    the desert, built schools and great buildings,
    constructed irrigation projects and water
    power houses and have made Palestine
    a much better place in which to live
    than it was before they came a few years ago.

    The Arabs are much better off now than
    before the Jews came, and it will be
    a short time only before they realize it.”

    SOURCE: Churchill and the Jews
    (chapter 8, page 91) by Martin Gilbert, year 2007

    ===================================
    Sir Winston Churchill said this in year 1922:

    “The Arabs would have sat in the dark forever
    had not the Zionist engineers harnessed
    the Jordan River for electrification.

    Now they swarm into Palestine in seeking the light.”

    SOURCE: A Peace to End All Peace

    CHRONOLOGY:
    Sir Winston Churchill was British Prime Minister
    from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955.

    QUESTION: If the Arabs are native to Palestine,
    then why did Winston Churchill say:

    “Now they swarm INTO Palestine in seeking the light.”
    The word “INTO” implies that most of them
    were NOT in Palestine before the Zionists.

    “The Arabs are much better off now then before the Jews came and it will be a short time before they realize it.” Churchill wrote that in 1929, 90 years ago, today in 2019 the Arabs in Israel live longer have better health care, schools, education, hospitals and freedoms ( not available in any other country bordering Israel ) many have many a real middle class income ,can be elected into the democratic government of Israel and they still do not realize or appreciate the freedom and safety Israel provided. None of those things is available to the majority of them in any of the Moslem majority lands surrounding Israel .They would not appreciate it in 900 years it seems.

    Freedom of religion is the right to practice whatever religion one chooses. But Islam does not share this freedom as it does not allow its members to leave it.
