Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Sweden: Imam at Swedish-Palestinian Centre demonstration labels Jews “the progeny of monkeys and pigs”

Sep 6, 2019 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

An imam in Sweden “has been sentenced to fines and a conditional prison sentence after labelling Jews ‘the progeny of monkey’s [sic] and pigs.’ The Imam made the remarks during a demonstration organised by the Swedish-Palestinian centre in July of 2017 after he was called on by organisers to speak.”

The seriousness of Islamic anti-Semitism is being largely ignored, to the peril of Jews everywhere.

Last year, the Besa Center (Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies) observed of Sweden:

The deep presence of anti-Semitism in Sweden reveals that the country’s image as a near perfect liberal democracy is false. So serious is the problem that the country is in dire need of a national anti-Semitism commissioner who can point out the threats coming from neo-Nazis and Muslims, the flaws of the police and the justice system, and other failures of the authorities to deal with anti-Semitism.

Neo-Nazi antisemitism has long been recognized, given the history of the Holocaust; however, the alliance between Arab nationalists and Nazis during the Holocaust is too often ignored. A surge of Islamic anti-Semitism can now be observed in areas of Europe where Muslim migration is high. For example, in France, the President of the Confederation of Jews in France of warned that “in a few decades, there will be no Jews in France”; meanwhile, Germany’s Angela Merkel admitted that anti-Semitism is coming to the country from “refugees or people of Arab origin.” The New York Post also recently published an article “Radical imams are spewing anti-Semitism in the US with impunity.” And you can access plenty of incidents that Jihad Watch has reported on HERE.

Islamic anti-Semitism is not a random phenomenon, as the attitude of Islam toward Jews is explicit in the Quran. The imam in Sweden did not say anything that is unique; such hateful and disparaging speech is in the Qur’an, as we have often noted here at Jihad Watch, and is often preached in mosques.

What is surprising about the case of the imam in Sweden who was sentenced to fines and a conditional prison sentence for referring to Jews as “monkeys and pigs” is that he faced any punitive measures at all, especially in a country such as Sweden, which has welcomed the hijrah to the peril of its citizens.

“Sweden: Imam Who Labelled Jews ‘Monkeys and Pigs’ Sentenced,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 3, 2019:

A 39-year-old Imam in the Swedish city of Helsingborg has been sentenced to fines and a conditional prison sentence after labelling Jews “the progeny of monkey’s [sic] and pigs.”

The Imam made the remarks during a demonstration organised by the Swedish-Palestinian centre in July of 2017 after he was called on by organisers to speak, Swedish broadcaster SVT reports.

The man admitted that his speech, which was given in Arabic rather than Swedish, contained the hateful phrases but defended himself by claiming that they were not directed at all Jews but rather at the Jewish state of Israel instead.

“We think that the speech in its entirety states that the statement was about Jews with a view to their religion, not the regime or the military power,” the court said in a press release.

“The conditional sentence has a probation period of two years. If he commits new crimes during that time, the conditional sentence can be replaced by another sentence,” lawyer Ylva Norling Jönsson said.

The Jewish community in Helsingborg reacted positively to the verdict telling the Swedish broadcaster, ” It is an important signal and mark from society that you cannot stand and say such things.” The Imam will face 60 days of fines for a total of 3,000 Swedish Krona ($305/£253)…..

    It’s ironic that Muslims — on the whole, some of the world’s stupidest, most worthless, least-productive people — have such deep hatred for Jews who, on the whole, are some of the most intelligent people, who have given so much to the world in science, literature, art, etc. for centuries That must really chap the ass of any Jew-hating Muslim objective enough to see that fact.

    Those must have been some brainy apes & pigs the Jews are descended from — eh, Ahmad?

      Global Jewish population: 14.5 million. Number of Nobel Prizes won by Jews at last count: 203.

      Global Muslim population: 1.8 billion. Number of Nobel Prizes won by Muslims: 12. Ouch!

      Savvy Kafir,

      On the part of Muslims, I think it’s a combination of psychological projection – and jealousy…

      The problem is, many of them do not have the IQ to realize it.

        Islam has done FA to advance humanity over 14 centuries and so they have to appropriate the contribution of other cultures and/or denigrate them in order to feel any sense of accomplishment. I believe the military have a term for something like that; STOLEN VALOR.

      In fact crossbreeding between unrelated species is impossible (UF) abduction claimers please note) if Muslims want to look at degeneracy they can look at Pakistan and other Islamic communities,

      Seven years ago, leading geneticist Professor Steve Jones, of University College London, controversially warned that what he called ‘inbreeding’ in Britain’s Muslim communities threatened the health of children…

      In Birmingham, around one in ten children from first cousin marriages either dies in infancy or develops a serious life-long disability caused by genetic ailments, according to health officials in the city, where half the mothers of Pakistani origin are married to a close relative.

      ‘It is little wonder, then, that more than six per cent of all children born in Bradford have severe disabilities, including blindness, deafness, and neuro-degenerative conditions. Yet to set out these truths is to invoke the fury of the politically correct brigade, who refuse to consider anything that might intrude on their carefully constructed fantasy of Utopian multi-culturalism.’

      The enormous costs of this is born by the NHS which of course is paid for by the tax payer.
      Of course it is possible to argue that this practice was not created by Islam but the clerics do nothing to discourage it, as they do with many other dreadful customs like, child marriage and FGM. I even read of a family trying to get a bride in Pakistan for their mentally retarded son. Just think of some poor girl in Pakistan
      not knowing what she is getting into.

      Savvy Kafir:

      Much of that is due to Judaism’s valuing of education. Compare with Islam’s devaluing of education, heck, Moslem females are not even allowed to go to school.

    Does that include Moses,Elijah,Jesus Christ and every single Biblical prophet?

    “We Jews know whom we worship because it is from the Jews that salvation comes”
    John 4 v 22
    Said Jesus Christ.

    In the Genealogy of Jesus Christ Matthew 1, Everyone listed from Abraham to David
    14 generations from Abraham to David
    14 generations from David to the exile in Babylon
    14 generations from the exile to the Messiah

    And the one thing they ALL have in common is that they are… JEWS.

    And what does the koran idiotically say?

    “Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a christian”
    k3:67

    The author of the koran replaces the Jews with the muslim Arabs and tries to make out that
    the Arab muslims are the Chosen people.

    This is contradicted by Jesus Christ in John 4 v 22 where it is clear the Jews were CENTRAL to God{YHWH}plan of salvation.

    ……………………..

    Grimly, this is orthodox Islam.

  4. mortimer says

    Sep 6, 2019 at 2:55 pm

    The Islamic texts that the mullah quoted were from Islam’s foundational source texts which existed 12 centuries before the modern State of Israel. Thus, the mullah was quoting texts referring to ALL JEWS IN GENERAL.

    He cannot claim he referred merely to the State of Israel without specifically saying that in advance.

    Anyone who condemns the only free society in the Middle East and the most moral military force on earth has no credibility. They are in a separate, personal, delusional reality.

      Very interesting:A genuine christian woman showing up fake christians.

      Meanwhile..

      A Christian preacher was arrested recently in Toronto on bogus “disturbing the peace” charges.

      Yet LGBT and lefties target Chick-fil A in Toronto today DISTURBING THE PEACE,using loudspeakers,blocking the footpaths:nothing done to stop them by the police.

      One law for the LGBT/’lefties,another law for christians etc

      If you are Disturbing the peace,using a loudspeaker,blocking the footpath, you can be arrested unless you are a leftie or LGBT.

    The most lying, deluded, thieving , deceptive, murderous people in the world +want+ to be God’s chosen… The people who murder their own children want to be God’s chosen.
    They who beat up their wives want to be God’s chosen.
    They who marry children want to be God’s chosen.
    They who consistently murder those who do not worship their self-made god, want/claim to be God’s chosen.
    They who savagely wipe out poor African Christians in great numbers want to be God’s chosen… or see themselves as God’s chosen…
    Etc, etc, etc…

    Clearly they have not the merest glimmer of mystical awareness of God…

    “may allah make a mushroom cloud over Israel”

    But we know allah isn’t YHWH…

    YHWH has other plans for Israel.
    {Book of Joel 3 for starters…}
    YHWH{or the Actual God} has very kindly explained things in Biblical prophecy,a subject that is completely alien to muslims.

    Think of it this way..

    “If the LORD is God,
    follow HIM.
    But if baal be god
    follow him”
    I kings 18 v 21

    The Lord God is the Actual God or YHWH
    baal{or al lah;LAH is actually a pagan god,a god you note who muslims “pray” to,,to destroy Israel}

    David had the Real Deal,goliath had his fake pagan god.We know how that worked out.
    Today,in symbolic terms..
    David{=Israel} STILL has the Real Deal,the muslims have al lah{who they think is the same but he isn’t}.

    But the Real Deal has made the outcome pretty clear in Biblical prophecy;feel free to consult it.

    allah won’t save his muslims from YHWH.

    What this means is that the Swedish Government now considers parts of the Quran to be hate speech. According to Muslims Allah is the one and only author of the words in the Quran. Allah is a racist.
    SInce you cannot separate Islam from Allah then Islam is a hateful ideology that should be criminalized.
    It won’t, but the ball of reason has been given a little nudge towards the down slope of history.

    Once again, Muslims demonstrate that their ‘god’ is one of war and destruction. Sounds more like the anti-Christ to me.

    Fines and a conditional prison sentence? I wonder if someone who said that of muslims would receive the same treatment… In any case, I’m against it – how are people supposed to learn about islamic anti-semitism if the imams aren’t allowed to proudly profess it out in the open?
