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

Morocco: Muslim YouTuber quotes Qur’an to claim Allah transformed disobedient Jews into apes and pigs

May 16, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Anas Arex says: “This is why the Jews were said to be ‘the brothers of apes and pigs’ and not ‘the offspring of apes and pigs.’ This is because they are not their offspring, but only resemble them, and are their siblings in their conduct and traits.”

Others differ. When the British adventurer Sir Richard F. Burton posed as a Muslim and made the pilgrimage to Mecca in 1852, in Arabia his group spotted some monkeys, which the Muslims immediately declared were Jews.

In any case, this idea comes from the Qur’an, which three times recounts that Allah transformed disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:62-65; 5:59-60; 7:166). “When in their insolence they transgressed (all) prohibitions, We said to them: ‘Be apes, despicable and rejected’” (7:166).

Did YouTube suspend Anas Arex’s account for this ugly display of antisemitism? Of course not. To have done so would have been “Islamophobic.”

“Moroccan YouTuber Anas Arex: The Jews Are the Brothers – Not the Offspring – of Apes and Pigs; Because They Resemble Them in “Conduct and Traits” but Do Not Actually Descend from Them,” MEMRI, April 28, 2020:

Moroccan YouTuber Anas Arex said in a video that he uploaded to his YouTube channel on April 28, 2020 that Allah once tested a certain tribe of Jews whose livelihood was fishing by causing the fish to come only on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath. Arex said that the Jews schemed to fish indirectly on the Sabbath by digging trenches that would trap the fish so that they could be collected on Sunday, and he said that as punishment for their disobedience, Allah transformed these Jews into apes. Arex clarified that since these apes did not have any offspring, today’s Jews are the brothers of apes and pigs, because they resemble them in “conduct and traits”, rather than the descendants of apes and pigs, as Jews have been sometimes referred.

Anas Arex: “After [the Jews] were prohibited from working on the Sabbath, and since all they did was fish, Allah did as He usually does with His creations and decided to test them in order to examine their perseverance in the face of disaster. This test was meant to teach them to obey and to not be greedy. Allah made the fish – the Jews’ source of livelihood – come only on the Sabbath.

[…]

“As is the custom of the Jews, their resolve collapsed and they started to concoct schemes. They started fishing on the Sabbath, but in an indirect manner. They dug trenches so that when the fish came, they were trapped on the Sabbath, and [the Jews] would collect them on Sunday.

[…]

“Allah inflicted upon them a strange punishment. He transformed them from humans to animals. Allah says in the Quran:”

Quran reciter: “So when in their insolence they transgressed all prohibitions, We said to them ‘Be despised apes.'”

Anas Arex: “Allah transformed them into apes, but ones that do not breed. After a while, they died, and they didn’t leave any offspring. None of the apes we have today are offspring of those disobedient [Jews] whom Allah transformed into apes as punishment.

[…]

“This is why the Jews were said to be ‘the brothers of apes and pigs’ and not ‘the offspring of apes and pigs.’ This is because they are not their offspring, but only resemble them, and are their siblings in their conduct and traits.”

    Building traps on to catch the fish on Saturday and then collect them on Sunday seems like the smart thing to do. It’s dumb to punish the Jews for being smart. The whole story is stupid and is not only insulting to Jews but to God also.

        Keith, Muslims are humans who have wrong information. We must help them to stop blocking their humanity with that nonsense. Ex-Muslims are the best deprogrammers. Many Muslims today are on the verge of leaving Islam, especially when idiotic remarks about Jews are made, such as the claim about pigs and apes.

        Modern DNA science shows that no human (Jews included) are pigs or apes.

          Mortimer, humans ARE in fact members of the family of Great Apes as proven by genetics.

          Mortimer, why would Muslims be angry when their coreligionists say ugly things about Jews? Antisemitism is in fact rife in Islam.

      It was about ancient age not about our smart technological age,
      And if you have been prohibited for being oversmart then you shouldn’t,
      It is better for us to obey the law and save us from being destroyed

      • gravenimage says

        May 17, 2020 at 4:19 pm

        Who is prohibiting us from being “oversmart”? Just Muslim savages. Why we should respect the laws set up by barbarian thugs is not explained.

        Seems that Zahid here is fine with the brightest humans being threatened with death for not pretending to be as moronic as the worst, most violent bullies. But then, this *is* what Islam teaches. *Ugh*.

    Jews are not the offspring of apes and pigs but only resemble them?

    Well, what a relief to know. And here all along I thought Islam was anti-Semitic. Learning never ceases, does it?

    And a query: How can you not be offspring but still a sibling? Hmmm. Must be beyond my grasp and indicative again of how subtle Mo’s creed is. What an ignoramus I am.

      This is the kind of thing that passes for intellectual discussion in the islamic world…Even scholars in Islamic universities talk about this kind of nonsense!

    • mortimer says

      May 17, 2020 at 1:28 am

      Well said by Wellington … we are ‘ignorant’ if we can’t follow Mo’s errant nonsense.

      I much prefer the great Hong Kong detective, whose logic could apply well to Mo’s absurdities:

      “Hasty conclusion like toy balloon – easy blow up, easy pop.” (Charlie Chan at the Race Track)

      “Hasty deduction, like ancient egg, look good from outside.” (Charlie Chan’s Secret)

      • gravenimage says

        May 17, 2020 at 4:31 pm

        I always liked Charlie Chan–the smartest guy in the room, and always underestimated.

        He was based in Honolulu, and the character was loosely based on a real Hawaiian police detective, Chang Apana.

    It’s the ABDOOL SHOW….

    Should we tell the muslim about all of allah’s ..?

    1]SCIENTIFIC MISTAKES in the koran, allah’s “perfect” book.

    The moon splitting in two,the sun setting in a muddy pool,the stars are missiles to ward off devils etc

    2]EPIC Theology errors of koran 5:116{allah has MARY in the Trinity}and thinks Christians are polytheists{koran 4:171} when in fact they are monotheists.
    What sort of god gets THEOLOGY wrong?allah the idiot Arab god,that’s who.

    3]Historical errors
    muhammed visiting the mosque… that didn’t exist in mo’s time koran 17.1
    on his MAGICAL FLYING DONKEY buraq {which nobody saw of course}:many muslims believe buraq was REAL.How else did mo get from mecca to Jerusalem?

    allah insisting he gave “Jesus” the Gospel koran 5:46{but the Gospel came AFTER the time of Jesus}which of course he had while an infant in a crib..

    “Lo!I am the slave of allah.he hath given me the Scripture and appointed me a prophet”
    koran 19 v 30
    [Lo?said the infant.LOL]

    This is the infant “Jesus”{the Arabic speaking muslim one-definitely not JEWISH Jesus}
    in a crib speaking as an adult.The dawa teams often use this and say “look!Jesus is in the koran”: but it isn’t an adult speaking.
    {You know maybe that counts as yet another koranic “scientific” miracle:a talking INFANT}

    allah’s TALKING ANTS{koran 27 v 18} and suleiman{the muslim solomon-definitely not JEWISH Solomon} with his “armies of jinn and humankind and of the birds”{koran 27 v 17}

    And let’s not forget that “Abraham was not a Jew”{koran 3:67} because of course he must have been a muslim as he couldn’t possibly be Jewish.

    Logic and islam:separated at birth.

      Keep going, FYI. Muslims leave Islam when such arguments convince them that it is childish and manmade rather than profound and divine. Islamic logic is mainly based on two fallacies, 1) begging the question and 2) argumentum ad baculum. Once you have those two fallacies in mind, you can unravel most Islamic arguments.

      • gravenimage says

        May 17, 2020 at 4:33 pm

        Unfortunately, Mortimer, while you are unraveling Islamic arguments, the Muslim you are debating with is, per your second point, often just planning on murdering you.

    Actually, it is acceptable in Judaism to collect fish in the manner described, provided that the fish are not harvested on the Sabbath. This same principle applies, as an example, to the lighting of stoves just prior to the onset of the Sabbath, which begins at sundown on Friday evening. Stoves are lit beforehand and kept lit so that food can be cooked after the Sabbath has begun. Sabbath candles are likewise lit just prior to sunset. Allah, as our friend FYI might note, has apparently forgot this component of the Mosaic Laws he gave to the Israelites. Allah, mighty and wise as he may be, shows himself to have a touch of Alzheimer’s, so it seems. Either that, or else this demonstrates the degree of ignorance Muhammed had about Jewish law.

    A Moroccan aptly demonstrating why Morocco is a shit hole where nothing works properly and the people are horrible.

  10. Buraq says

    May 16, 2020 at 11:18 pm

    There’s a rather large hole in this Quranic story! Jewish law states that there are 39 things Jews are not allowed to do on the Sabbath. One of them is Trapping. This includes capturing or restricting the freedom of any living creature. The prime example is trapping an animal. However, even catching an insect in one’s hand comes under this heading.

    Jews taking fish from traps on the Sabbath would have been a big ‘No-No’ according to Jewish law. And if an Arab god, Allah, deprived these Jews of their livelihood, what are they supposed to do, anyway? Muslims are allowed to break Islamic law if their lives are in danger, or they are threatened in some way. Why not Jews?

    Only a clown would deprive an entire tribe of their food to ‘test’ their faith!

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      May 17, 2020 at 12:39 am

      This reminds me of Mark 2:27 where Jesus says that God made the Sabbath for man and not man for the Sabbath. Also, Genesis 1:26-31 tells us that God created man to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every living thing that moves on the Earth. This is man’s purpose and his work in life but on the Sabbath man should cease in his work and take a day of rest. It’s true that trapping can be work but which part – the building, the setting of the trap, the checking of the trap and the removal of anything caught in the trap? Yes, those things are work but would refraining from doing all of those things and just waiting for an animal to walk into the trap be work too? It seems like that part of the job would be the work of the animal.

      At any rate, the Quran does not say that man was created to work, only that man was created to worship Allah. See Quran 51:56 where Allah says, “I have created the jinn and humankind only for My worship.” That is a Muslim’s purpose in life – to worship Allah. So do Muslims consider praying to be work and take one day of the week off and cease doing that? Again, I must say that the line between insanity and Islam is a very fine one indeed.

      • Westman says

        May 17, 2020 at 11:37 am

        What kind of being creates another with the purpose of worshiping itself? What does that say about the character of that being and how is it any different from the Roman Mythology Gods?

        “I have created the jinn and humankind ONLY for My worship.” (Q51:56) – should be enough to inform Muslims that Allah is either insecure or a tyrant; neither being a characteristic worthy of worship.

        It appears that humans are on the cusp of creating useful AI machines and robots. What would we think of a builder who programmed the machine to worship himself? Maybe we could could refer to it as, “Allah modeling”

    Anas Arex’s sin was not that he disagreed with the Koran, but that he disagreed with the MULLAHS who disagree with the Koran.

    Most of what mullahs do is to tell Muslims that Allah DID NOT SAY what he actually said.

    “…..The Qur’an, three times recounts that Allah transformed disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:62-65; 5:59-60; 7:166)…….

    So, yet again, Allah demonstrates his amazing mastery of medical science. Not only do islamic experts assure us of his breath-taking excellence in reconstructive surgery in the industrial-scale recycling of virgins to satisfy the demands of all those muslim martyrs arriving in the red light district of Paradise, he has also clearly cracked the process of genetic transformation by converting Jewish human beings into monkeys and pigs. Did the political elite of the Nazi Third Reich know about this, because this amazing kind of medical know-how would surely have been right up their street! Clearly, the inhabitants of the corridors of power in 1930’s Berlin hadn’t been reading their Qur’ans.

    However, the Fount of Wisdom who presents this video seems to have got his wires crossed on another matter of simple genetics when he declares that our Jewish friends are “the brothers of apes and pigs’ and not ‘the offspring of apes and pigs” What is that supposed to say about the persons/species/whatever who one presumes would be their common parents of all these offspring, since they’re all ‘brothers’? Was Allah demonstrating yet another facet of his ground-breaking medical genius by enabling some kind of cross-species procreation? Or might this be an unfortunate accident resulting from the sort of dubious ‘romantic’ practices that the Disciples of the Great Prophet are reputed to indulge in with certain animals of the desert? Or maybe Allah, in His great mercy, has been running a remarkably progressive, egalitarian, all-inclusive adoption agency that entrusts the care of humans to citizens of the farmyard and jungle. I do wish these islamic experts would explain themselves better. Maybe we should all consult one of the famous islamic scholars – they always know all the answers, don’t they!

    Just another load of islamic bullshit being spread by muslim hate farmers. Islam’s Allah was created by Muhammad for his political power at the time he wanted to rule the Middle East. And of course anyone Muhammad didn’t like or who stood up against his ideology was killed or enslaved or considered an enemy of the people.

    Islam the biggest brain washing ever, makes Hitlers NAZI brain washing ideology look small. And yes many of the media and politicians at that time didn’t see the light either. All the warning signs of a violent Islamic dictatorship are in front of us, and yet most tend not to see it just like pre World War II.

    Clearly, Muslims have yet to think rationally about the consequence of Islam’s inherently anti-Semitic (racist) doctrines such as this one. Since numerous Jews, whether by choice or coercion, have converted to Islam over the last 14 centuries, many Muslims must therefore also be the descendants of “apes and pigs.”
