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).
How likely is it, in light of all that, that this anti-Semitism was really isolated among the officials who have left the organization? But British authorities, like their counterparts all over the West, are in total denial about what they’re dealing with.
“Report clears UK’s largest Muslim charity of institutional anti-Semitism despite controversy over hateful posts on social media,” RT, January 29, 2021 (thanks to Mason):
An independent review has found that UK’s leading Muslim charity, Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), is not rife with anti-Semitism, despite a string of controversies over comments made by its high-ranking staffers last year.
“We found absolutely no evidence that the reputational issues that have arisen over the conduct of a few individuals has had any link to the way IRW carries out this charitable work,” Dominic Grieve, who led the review, said.
On the contrary, the charity has made a lot of effort to ensure there isn’t anti-Semitism, and I saw no evidence of it among staff whatsoever.
Grieve said IRW’s work was “marred by the reputational problems generated by the behaviour of a few individuals who have been putting their personal opinions” ahead of the charity’s mission. He acknowledged that the group has since improved its social media and vetting policies….
In 2020, IRW trustees Heshmat Khalifa and Almoutaz Tayara stepped down after the British media unearthed posts they wrote on social media in 2014 and 2015 before taking jobs at the charity. Khalifa had called Jews the “grandchildren of monkeys and pigs.” Tayara posted a cartoon that depicted former US president Barack Obama with a Star of David emblazoned on his necktie. He also referred to Hamas’ military wing, which is listed as a terrorist group by the UK and the EU, as “heroes.”
IRW denounced these remarks as “unacceptable,” and an entirely new board of trustees was appointed.
The third staffer to leave IRW was its network and resource development director Tayeb Abdoun, who resigned in November. He was said to have been making anti-Semitic tweets under a fake name. Abdoun endorsed terrorist attacks against the Israelis, according to the Jerusalem Post….
The UK government has suspended its funding of IRW due to the controversy, as did the German government. The US State Department cut ties with the group earlier this month.
mortimer says
IRW and its leaders follow the authentic hadiths and Koranic verses that denigrate and slander all Jews. Why would they not be anti-Semitic. Nearly all Muslims are very anti-Semitic.

I have seen this video before, but I’m so glad you put it here, as it is a really good story.
Thank you.
Savvy Kafir says
The fact that Muslims — THE least deserving people on the planet, bar none — have become THE most protected class among the PC liberals of the Regressive Left, is a really good indicator of the insanity, and the danger, of political correctness.
As a progressive/libertarian mongrel who still has friends who’ve clearly drunk the Kool-Aid of political correctness, I probably find this sort of thing even more frustrating and infuriating than conservatives do — if you can imagine that.
Eleanor says
Well SK, at least you are a sagacious progressive/libertarian. Good for you. Not many of them are.
Walter Sieruk says
This Muslim trustee of an Islamic obtained that way of thinking from the Qu ‘ran which claims that the Jews are the descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in Surah 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60.
DavidR says
The ease with which some people express their Jew hating depends entirely on the commonly held narrative that if you’re not white you can’t be a racist, which is a racist idea. Since divide and conquer defines politics everywhere I don’t see this anti racist racism ending anytime soon as long as there are elections, dictators and rebellions.
Michael Copeland says
“The UK government has suspended its funding of IRW…..”
Why on earth is the UK taxpayer funding this organisation?
David says
Now this is what I call Islamic Relief: Relief. from Islam! I would like to know how much money has been wasted on this ‘charity’.
tim gallagher says
No surprise in this extreme hatred of the Jewish people by this Islamic charity group. I have always figured that any Muslim charity would also make sure that plenty of the money it raised would find its way to terrorists. Off the subject being discussed here, I just saw a very funny video clip, which satirises the way in which some group is always bound to be offended by anything that a person says these days. It is Sunday morrning here in Australia and I watch a program called “Outsiders” which tears into many leftie, PC causes. They showed a clip from a comedy show in the UK called “Scot Squad”, apparently about the Scottish police. I’ve never heard of it. I found this skit very funny and it can be found on youtube. I googled “Scot Squad police apologise youtube”. It runs for around 2 minutes. I think everyone would enjoy it. IT is worth checking out.
James Lincoln says
Found it, tim.
At first I didn’t know if it was a documentary or a comedy…

tim gallagher says
James, I was the same for the first couple of apologies the policeman makes and ends up offending another group of people. I thought it was for real. I found it hilarious. I was so pleased that the “Outsiders” presenters showed it because otherwise I never would have come across it. They do show a few funny satirical videos, but this one, to me, was incredibly good. It is true these days that you can’t say anything without having someone or some group becoming offended. They often used to show clips of Biden completely losing track of what he was talking about during the lead up to the last US election, which were amazing to watch. Thanks for putting the video up there. As I have often said, I know bugger all about technology, probably will remain the case for me, so I couldn’t do that..
David says
That is hilarious! Do watch!
R Russell says
I would have replied sooner but my laptop was in for repair. This was a real laugh – but let’s not forget that Humza Yousaf, Justice minister of Scotland has been associated with Islamic Relief since his youth.
tim gallagher says
David and R Russell, I have told several more people to check this video out and I have watched it a couple more times. It is brilliant and hilarious. My last comment on it is to say, isn’t the guy who plays the police chief perfect for that role? He looks just right and sounds just right for the role.
Elias says
If, as the Qur’an claims, Jews are the descendants of “apes and pigs,” and many Jews converted (voluntarily or by force) to Islam over the last 14 centuries, then it stands to reason that quite a few living Muslims are also the descendants of “apes and pigs.”
Eleanor says
That means they would get quite a shock if they sent their DNA to:

Charity is a Christian concept. It does not exist in Baphometanism. IRW is an arm of Islam – it is not a charity. Many charities limit themselves to particular religious groups, but they do not vilify other groups. The IRW, by contrast, does.
Jayell says
Some years ago, muslms in the UK decided to promote themselves by making themselves appear to be a respectable part of the British establishment. One of their ploys was to plagiarise the intellectual property and marketing strategies (artwork style, etc.) of a long-established charity called ‘Christian Aid’ and run their (amazingly similar) publicity under the name ‘Muslim Aid’ alongside Christian Aid’s in order to move in on their territory. One thing they copied was the claim that they helped anyone, anywhere regardless of politics or religion (as Christian Aid do) , so I studied their track record and found that their beneficiaries were only in muislim countries. Consequently, I emailed them, stating that their claims was misleading, which was fraudulent. I never got a reply.
JamesC. says
Well done doing that. No surprises there, of course. More’s the pity.
David says
Christian Charity is for everyone. Islamic Charity is for muslims only. Correct me if I am wrong.
Michael Copeland says
The restriction is part of Islamic law.
“It is not permissible to give zakat to a non-Muslim.”
Manual of Islamic law, “Reliance of the Traveller”, h8.24
JamesC. says
Completely right on both counts.
Jayell says
‘….the charity has made a lot of effort to ensure there isn’t anti-Semitism, and I saw no evidence of it among staff whatsoever……’
Well, he wouldn’t find anything, would he, because this organisation would bend over backwards to sweep all the dirt under the carpet and tell him all sorts of stories to keep their veritable noses clean. The fun comes when muslim organisations are inspected without warning, like the islamic school in West London that couldn’t hide its antisemitic, racist textbooks quickly enough when Ofsted inspectors suddenly appeard.
David says
You can be fairly certain that surprise visits have been banned from muslims schools, after complaints of racism. Just my guess.
Found this: The Claystone thinktank has found that the schools’ regulator Ofsted is targeting Muslim schools through the use of “no-notice inspections” in order to impose so-called “British values” on them.
OLD GUY says
The UK has something bad in their drinking water, it is causing all common sense to disappear. I think Biden and our politicians have been importing that water for themselves. Islam is a direct threat to Christians and all other non-islamic people, so why are so many of our countries so afraid to stand up for their citizens. You make a huge mistake by allowing islamic migration, they are the enemy you should keep out of your country.
Politicians that allow and support the islamic migration invasion are literally committing treason, by opening our borders to the enemy.
Kepha says
It’s what you get when you let Marxists into the teaching profession. I yearn for the day when someone says “Marx!” and the answer is “Groucho, Harpo, Chico, or Beppo?”
