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

Yemen: Shi’ite Houthis round up the country’s remaining Jews, force them to turn over property and leave country

Jul 15, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Yemen’s Information Minister Moammer al-Iryani stated in 2017 that the state of the 50 or so remaining Jews in the country was ‘unknown.'”

The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. The Jews in the Qur’an are called 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).

“Houthis round up Yemen’s Jews as part of ‘ethnic cleansing’ efforts – report,” by Tzvi Joffre, Jerusalem Post, July 14, 2020 (thanks to David):

The Houthi rebel group in Yemen arrested Jews in the Kharif District of the ‘Amran Governorate northwest of Sana’a as part of “ethnic cleansing” efforts as well as looting money from various sects and groups, according to the Egyptian Al-Mesryoon newspaper.

Local sources from Kharif told Al-Mesryoon that the Houthis had rounded up the Jews and imprisoned them due to their religion and were pressuring them to leave Yemen.

They forced the Jews to sign pledges to sell their homes, land and property to Houthi leaders at nominal prices and then leave the country.

The Houthis have reportedly persecuted the few Jews left in Yemen by cutting off their water and electricity and preventing them from purchasing food. The rebel group uses similar practices against non-Shi’ite Yemenis and Yemenis from other religions, according to Al-Mesryoon….

Yemen’s Information Minister Moammer al-Iryani stated in 2017 that the state of the 50 or so remaining Jews in the country was “unknown.”

A popular Houthi slogan includes the phrase “Curse the Jews.”

    The most intolerant religion. They can no longer say that Islam is tolerant and compatible with other cultures.

      They can and will and that is what will be promoted by our press and news media.
      The plight of the Jews being ethnically cleansed will be completely ignored by everyone.

    Meanwhile, in many Western cities Muslims are stirring up persecution against Jews. Most Western Jews are not paying attention to the large numbers of incidents of hate directed by Muslims against Jews.

    Its odd that many liberal progressive Jews in the West encourage Muslim immigration. Only to find they are persecuted by them.

    But, what about the Uyghurs in China?
    But, what about the Islamophobia in America?
    But, what about the Rohingya?
    But, what about the Muslims in Austria?

    Etc.

      My “favorite” reflex response to any mention of Jewish persecution is something like “it was really more like 4 million Jews and not 6 million”, or worse, “the Holocaust is a hoax”. In some Muslim countries the reporting on “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” does not mention that the document is a proven hoax and it is routinely cited as a credible source.

        John,

        Most ‘news’ reports ignore the violence Muslims inflict on others; favoring instead, the examples I listed.

    And now that the Jews are gone, others will be persecuted, until no others are left. And then they will turn on each other for not being “Muslim” enough.

    This is a very bad omen for that region, not merely because Jews are leaving, but because of what’s to come.

  7. Hussein Ambali says

    Those who have different view about Islam are really committing sin.They just conclude their view point about Islam as being negative to humanity.Islam mean peace as oppose to the radical element whose interpretation of the Noble religion is violence.

    • gravenimage says

      Jul 15, 2020 at 7:56 pm

      What does Hussein Ambali mean “different view”? Muslims have been persecuting Jews for 1400 years now, and this all started with the “Prophet” Muhammed himself, who enslaved, raped, and mass murdered Jews.

      And no–Islam does *not* mean peace–it means *submission* to the savagery of Islam.

      It is not just “radical” Islam that is violent–Islam preaches violence, and the “perfect man” of Islam was hideously violent.

      Either Hussein Ambali has never read the texts of his own creed, or–far more likely–he is just slinging Taqiyya here.

      • James Lincoln says

        Jul 15, 2020 at 8:18 pm

        gravenimage,

        100% true.

        Hussein Ambali is either ignorant about islam – and believes the whitewashed “spin” from the imams, or is practicing Taqiyya.

        There is no other alternative….

    • PRCS says

      Jul 16, 2020 at 1:08 am

      So, Hussein:

      Which takes precedence for Muslims in the United States: the sharia or my country’s man-made laws?

    • Linde Barrera says

      Jul 16, 2020 at 6:08 am

      To Hussein Ambali- Please tell us about Female Genital Mutilation performed on very young girls, as widely practiced by devout Muslims. 😈

      You talk rubbish.Islam is evil.Look at Mohamed a rapist, murderer,pedophile robber a piece of rubbish

    • C.B.Ross says

      Jul 16, 2020 at 7:36 am

      Your name would suggest that you are a Muslim. As such you should know that “Islam” does not mean “peace” but “submission” (to the will of ‘Allah’).

      There is no peace in Islam. Founded by a warlord, and a paedophile, it continues in the same vein!

      • James Lincoln says

        Jul 16, 2020 at 10:12 am

        C.B. Ross,

        islam’s version of “peace” is when sharia law rules over the world. Therefore, according to devout muslims, islam is a “religion of peace”.

        But you knew that already…

    • Sarel says

      Jul 20, 2020 at 9:22 am

      Hussein Ambali.Islam is evil.Islam have no mercy for other religions. History proved that over and over,since that wicked pedophile rapist murderer robber and mentally mad Arab gangster of yours Mohamed become evil.You are no religion, you are an evil cult.

    • Sarel says

      Jul 20, 2020 at 9:48 am

      Hussein Ambali.Before the so called Quran have been revealed to that Arab gangster muhamed on the age of 40 years.What was his religion before that. He was a pagan Arab pedophile rapist murderer gangster. muhamed one thing I know for sure you burning in hell now.For all your murders rapes and and.You piece of rubbish

    Yemen: Shi’ite Houthis round up the country’s remaining Jews, force them to turn over property and leave country
    ………………….

    This does not surprise.

    I have a friend who went to Israel on a break from college in the late 1970s, and helped Yemeni Jews settle in Israel. They spoke nothing but Arabic, and they only had a part-time translator with their group, and a kid who had studied Arabic for a year in high school. But she soon realized that the Yemeni Jews were terrified of Arab Muslim translators, who would often threaten them on the sly, so they got along the best they could with the translators they had.

    Horrible circumstances, but another part of Bible prophesy which says the Jews from the 4 corners of the Earth will return to Israel.

They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).

    This accusation against the Jews. It pays more attention to how Muslims treat others ….
