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).
Could that have anything to do with the pro-Sharia Sarsour’s view of Israelis?
PRCS says
Ain’t no Palestinian nation.
The Palestinians are actually Arabs who live in the area.
Maybe Abbas could sell his private jet and contribute the proceeds to ‘the oppressed’.
Lisa A Hope says
Palestinians are actually Pirates from the island of Kaftor. Historically.
PRCS says
Funny.
The Natural Observer (@KauaiiHi) says
Caphtor (Crete) – Bible Mapbibleatlas.org › caphtor
calls it an “island”; there is evidence of ancient connection between Crete and Philistia; and the Philistines are called Cherethites, which may mean Cretans

This is actually accurate re the original Philistines..
Peter35 says
Well certainly we have no such worries about ‘humanizing’ inhuman palestinians.

Finally, Mehdi Hasan is sharing the stage with someone almost as teeth-gnashingly fanatical as him.
Carol the 1st says
Earlier videos reveal him as an asstounding blockhead. He looks like he keeps a lid on it now but it’s undoubtedly always close to a boil.
Keys says
“asstounding”
Ha, ha, ha !
marblenecltr says
Because of the Qur’an, Jews have been oppressed (enslaved, extorted, killed) by Muslims since the 600s. Remember the Mufti of Jerusalem joining Hitler? Terrorist Arafat attempting to terrorize? Not buying your nonsense Sarsour.
Marty says
Doesn’t sarsour mean cockroach in arabic?
Rufluc says
Indeed it does, and she is openly proud of it too! Just like Satan is proud of being a serpent. Says it all really.
FYI says
It does.
And medhi hasan means “an antisemitic two-faced islamofascist dissembling twunt” in the “Pally” language.
Gork says
And we’re supposed to listen to this disgusting excuse for humanity tell us who is human and who isn’t?
She may be a homo-sapien, but that’s about as far as it goes.

I just love these scintillating comments about the “religion of peace”.

BBC had an interview today with one of their Iranian spokespeople (Rana ?). She says that on the ground people say the Coronavirus is far greater than we’re led to believe. The ‘holy’ site huge gatherings continue as always (I swear she was a little impressed by this).
Might be a good time to slow down your mid-east travel.
Wellington says
Every totalitarian belief system, whether Islam, Nazism, Marxism, et al. demonizes and dehumanizes certain groups of human beings—Islam with non-Muslims, Nazism with certain ethnic groups, and Marxism with socio-economic groups, i.e., the middle and upper classes. Totalitarian systems not only thrive on this but they would be “out of business” if they didn’t, so deficient are they in ideas that can stand the test of rational scrutiny and therefore they must deflect such scrutiny by, among other approaches, castigating certain groups of human beings as, effectively, sub-human with only the “grouping” being a variable. Projection, i.e., accusing others of what totalitarians themselves do, is yet another “technique” common to all such wretched ideologies.
Count on it. Every totalitarian ideology establishes an “us v.them” paradigm, not only out of sheer hatred, though this is a major reason, but also because by doing so they diminish liberty, something ALL totalitarian ideologies hate and because ALL totalitarian belief systems are so pathetic when you actually examine what they contend that they must deflect attention from themselves by accusing others of what their own belief system wants enacted which is pure projection as I already mentioned.
The newest “collection” to this nefarious list: Western Leftism. It is replete with totalitarian elements, some of which I have already noted. Count on it.

Wellington, you are one smart cookie!

Excellent summary by Wellington.
PRCS says
It’s not completely true, of course, but I remember this from somewhere:
Inside every leftist is a totalitarian trying to to get out.
Carol the 1st says
And they’re all such scolds. It’s actually laughable.
Carol the 1st says
It’s like the inmates/children of the insane asylum/nursery trying to take the reigns! Maybe any change will do in a universe filled with student debt?

Love your comments.

Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Israelis
……………….
Yeah–no Muslims can consider Jews anything but “apes and pigs”, as “Allah” intended.
God, I hate Islam.
Mon says
I agree with you. Islam is pure evil and worships the devil and their pig humping profit muhutmud
Steve Rogers says
“There will never be peace until the Palestinians love their children more than they hate us”. Golda Meir, Prime Minister of Israel, 1969 to 1974.
Westman says
It’s as true today as it was then. What kind of mother raises her child to die? A mother without the freedom to choose how to raise that child. Think of the tenuous position of a “Palestinian” woman, controlled by the men of her family and community with one of them authorized by Allah to beat her if he even “fears” that she won’t be compliant.
A Women’s movement booted Sarsour out of their leadership when they finally discovered the real anti-Semetic Sarsour. Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders has adopted Sarsour and does not realize a camel’s nose is in his tent. Who knows what regret that will bring as the panicked “moderate” Democrats look for any means to stop Sanders nomonation ?
Carol the 1st says
And often without the ability to even choose to have that child. In Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s book “Infidel” she brought up this subject and how it explained the very angry and bossy behavior of many mothers. I’d translate it into “if you have to have the brats then why not have something in your life you yourself get to kick?” Not so much the boy brats as they get the important task of showing mom who’s top dog right off the bat. But the girls? – oh, the girls can really be “in for it” since if they don’t remain ‘pure’ and subservient to Islam it’s all momma’s fault. Another mind trap from the ROP.
gravenimage says
Grimly true.
gravenimage says
Steve, Golda Meir said “Arabs”–the faux term “Palestinians” was not in use then.
But I very much take your main point.
Lydia Church says
Wow.
Speechless. I have no words.
Other than…
that’s exactly what the nazi’s did to the Jews before the Holocaust – dehumanize them.
It’s what the enemy always does to their opponent in order to desensitize the masses to their planned extermination of their enemy.
Carol the 1st says
It also implies that the “poor victims” have some bulk package of “knowing” that others have been too busy or stupid to appreciate. They never tire of tossing around the sharp axe they supposedly have to grind. A distraction, like Wellington said.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Let’s be very clear here: Sarsour is *not* dehumanising the Jews. Their non-humanity is taken as given. By Islamic standards, Nazism at least had the redeeming feature that it sought to *de-humanise* the Jews, for which it must have presumed their humanity in the first place. Islam, voiced through Sarsour, warns against this Nazi presumption. Islam begins where Nazism ends.
Thanks to Linda Sarsour and Mehdi Hasan for making this crystal-clear. Anyone who is still a Muslim needs to ask themselves, “What kind of human denies the humanity of another?” The answer is in the mirror.
Four of Sarsour’s “non-humans” (with Hasan concurring) were Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Martin Buber, and Chaim Weizmann, whose legacy includes the founding of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, an outpost of higher learning and Israel’s first university, located on Mount Scopus, between 1949 and 1967 a vulnerable exclave of “West Jerusalem” surrounded by hostile Jordanian occupation forces that annexed Judea and Samaria (renaming them “The West Bank”) and regularly shot at professors travelling to and from the university.
Einstein’s name has become synonymous with genius. Freud was the neurologist who founded psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue. Buber’s thesis was on human existence, central to which was dialogue. Weizman set up a scientific research institute that later came to bear his name. He was also the first President of Israel, a country of which it was famously said, “Israel’s problem was but a distinct form of the universal human problem. Accordingly, the task of Israel as a distinct nation was inexorably linked to the task of humanity in general.”
Nothing can be more antithetical to Islam (that regards only Muslims as human) than the existence of Israel. It is a profundity little appreciated, and its exact negation is this self-condenming utterance of Sarsour, speaking for Mehdi Hasan, all Muslims and, of course, the Qur’an.
Carol the 1st says
Israel now has the Coronavirus. If they come up with some outstanding research one just knows they will share it indiscriminately. I wonder if Islam’s response will be becoming gratitude??
I can’t seem to call up the clips JW offers – would a title help? Are they on YouTube?

Good post, Anjuli.
Bob Thompson says
In order to fully grasp the repulsiveness of her comments, I suggest these examples demonstrate how Liberals and Democrats should interpret the headline: “Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Israelis”
=========================================================================
Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Americans
Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Women
Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Gays
Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Democrats
Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Blacks
Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Native Americans
Video: Linda Sarsour warns against “humanizing” Hispanics
Video: (Enter Name) warns against “humanizing” Muslims
Video: (Enter Name) warns against “humanizing” Palestinians
==============================================================================
Those comments aptly demonstrate this explanation by Iranian, Amir Taheri’s of Islam’s view of equality:
Amir Taheri: “Islam Is Incompatible With Democracy”
Lest us return to the issue of equality.
The idea is unacceptable to Islam.
For the non-believer cannot be the equal of the believer.
Even among the believers only those who subscribe to the three so-called Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam ( Ahl el-Kitab) are regarded as fully human.
Here is the hierarchy of human worth in Islam:
At the summit are free male Muslims
Next come Muslim male slaves
Then come free Muslim women
Next come Muslim slave women.
Then come free Jewish and /or Christian men
Then come slave Jewish and/or Christian men
Then come slave Jewish and/or Christian women.
Each category has rights that must be respected.

Thanks. Found it on YouTube using Video: etc.
She was on stage ranting but oddly the audience was never shown. Maybe it was too small.
jca reid says
Racist Bitch! On one of these TV Shows they ought to ask her, “has she undergone FGM/ or circumcision?” If she replies, “NO.” Then after the Show perform it with an old sardine tin, &/or a piece of a broken flass bottle. Sh Can’t complain as it’s ordained by the Islamic Texts & Mohammed’s own words.
Walter Sieruk says
If Linda Sarsour want to talk like that , well OK .For that manner , to be consistent Saraour might best described a a “political character ” rather than “person.”
OLD GUY says
Linda Sarsour is a sub human supporting a terrorist organization. There is no such thing as a Palestinian race of people. This is a made up group of Muslims who have no right to the state Islreal, and are supported to create discourse throughout the Middle East.
