The learned Dr. Abou El Fadl is projecting. Here is the reality:
“Indeed, the worst of animals in Allah’s sight are the ungrateful who will not believe.” (Qur’an 8:55)
“Already we have created many of the jinn and mankind for Gehenna, having hearts with which they do not understand, and having eyes with which they do not see, and having ears with which they do not hear. They are like cattle, no, they are worse. These are the neglectful.” (Qur’an 7:179)
“Indeed, the unbelievers among the people of the book and the idolaters will remain in the fire of Gehenna. They are the most vile of created beings.” (Qur’an 98:6)
“UCLA Law Professor Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl In Friday Sermon: The Israelis And Americans Blame The Palestinians For Their Own Slaughter Like The Germans Blamed The Jews; They Dehumanize Us Like The Nazis Dehumanized The Jews,” MEMRI, December 22, 2023:
UCLA professor of Law Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl said in a December 22, 2023 sermon streamed live on the YouTube channel of the Usuli Institute that the Israelis and Americans employ the same rhetoric against the Palestinians as the Germans did against the Jews. He also stated that the U.S. that lied about beheaded babies and raped women remains silent facing the brutality of Israel in Gaza.
According to the website of the University of California, Los Angels, Dr. El Fadl is the Omar and Azmeralda Alfi Distinguished Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law. He was also formerly the Chair of the Islamic Studies Interdepartmental Program at UCLA. He is the founder of the Institute of Advanced Usuli Studies (“The Usuli Institute”), a non-profit which describes itself as “dedicated to research and education to promote humanistically beautiful and morally elevating interpretations of Islam.”
Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl: “The Germans blamed the Jews for their own slaughter. The Germans insisted that what they did in the countries they occupied wasn’t their fault. It was always the fault of the occupied. The rhetoric of the Germans is indistinguishable from the rhetoric that Israel uses about Palestinians and from the rhetoric that the United States uses about Palestinians – and indeed, the rhetoric that so much of Europe uses about Palestinians.
[…]
“If Muslims were an educated people… If… I am so fed up with ‘if’… they could have easily shown how the rhetoric used by Germany lines up identically – identically – with the claims and excuses used by Israel and the United States in referring to Palestinians.
[…]
“The entire world witnesses and knows that Israelis executed Palestinians in front of their families. They had the women and children go to a particular building, on a particular floor, and involved that building, killing the women and children. And the same thing, the United States that lied about beheaded babies…. And the same United States that lied about raped women is silent. The world is not affected. It is not devastated.
[…]
“And so, they are dehumanized. They are considered like animals. Exactly like the Nazis looked [at] the Jews. Something subhuman, something less than human, exactly like the narrative and the language of the Nazis. If only the Muslims were an educated people.”
mike says
dehumanized’ and ‘considered like animals’ because you are
that the way you treat the people of the world
Bexarkat says
After the events of October 7th, I am not so sure he’s wrong – they are animals and inhuman.
VMS says
It’s unbelievable that this Muslim POS is a law professor poisoning the minds of his students: https://law.ucla.edu/faculty/faculty-profiles/khaled-m-abou-el-fadl
The problem with this Muslim “scholar” is that all his criticism is based on a foundation of sand, namely false facts. When formulating an argument, if the axioms on which it is based are false, then the argument will also be false. But that is the Muslim approach.
I’d put Robert Spenser’s Islamic scholarliness up against this “professor’s” any day of the week!
deze MN bee says
I went to that website and read his resume which just goes on and on and on. The dark treacle of his thought processes have spread all over the place, even to the ends of the earth -even to “advising” Adelaide University in South Australia. What was he doing doing down there? That University has about 6 Nobel Prize winners. They’re don’t sit around to be advised about Sharia. No no no. Are you sure this whole thing is not just a deep fake generated by ChatGp4? Consider what is being presented. A man whose brain has been marinated, stewed, and aged in vats of Holy Islamic Sharia oil in the land of Egypt and elsewhere (everywhere) and is supposedly a top advocate in the United States Law Circuit.
And he talks about “beauty” !
Lawyers don’t talk about beauty.
Nobody in America goes to jail for being ugly.
It cannot be true.
It’s just a set up.

Looks like the unholy Qu’ran plagiarized parts of psalm 115:

Tatanka says
They are not animals, animals don’t behave like that.
These jihadi palestinians are vile Satanic monsters
Goofy says
Please read the Qur’an to find out who dehumanises whom!
tim gallagher says
Spot on, Goofy. The disgusting murderous hatred by Muslims of all non-Muslims is the problem, and, for me, I say, right back at the evil Muslims, I couldn’t give a damn about them since they hate me as a non-Muslim so much. As for this about the Palestinians, I see endless people who seem to love those poor “oppressed” Palestinians and do nothing but support the Palestinians in demos all around the world. The Palestinians don’t deserve the support they get.
Ray Jarman says
I have one question which is how in the name of all that is holy did this rabid moron obtain a position at any college, much less at UCLA? Everyone forgets that Hamas was overwhelmingly elected while Hitler never obtained more than 27% of the vote prior to Von Hindenburg placing him in the Chancelor’s seat in 1933 just before he died in 1934.
James Lincoln says
Unfortunately, this is not the excellent UCLA of the 1950s, Ray.
Westman says
Please explain, Dr. Abou El Fadl, why other surrounding Muslim nations refuse to accept Palestinian refugees, essentially boxing them into a fighting ring like a contest of animals? Are Jordanians, Syrians, and Egyptians betting money on the outcome?
I see anger from Muslim nations at Jews, which in Islam is a given, yet, the expressed horror of those nations about the plight of Palestinians seems more couched in anger at Islam’s loss of power in the modern world than actual respect for Palestinians. Frankly, Islam appears to have its own inter-nation biases.
Then, of course, Islam declares non-believers to be lower than animals. From where, then, does your soapbox arise to criticise non-believers even if they did actually consider Palestinians a little higher than their own lower-than-animal selves?
Kristen says
That’s an insult to decent, self-respecting animals everywhere. Filthy, malignant jihadis will never have their majesty, beauty, bravery and grace.
FYI says
If muslims used critical thinking.. maybe if they followed allah’s advice in koran 10:94 then maybe they could figure out how bogus their allah/koran is.
allah boasts in koran 2:29 to be “the knower of ALL things”
Yet it is obvious from the koran’s errors-scientific,religious{Jews don’t believe anyone called “Ezra is the son of allah” and Theological{in koran 5:116 [Pickthall} allah insists MARY is one of the 3 gods Christians worship.allah doesn’t understand he has it wrong.
Does allah know ALL things?No
Can you be omniscient/God if you don’ t know ALL things?No
can allah be god despite claiming he knows ALL things??NO!
How can allah be God if he is provavbly NOT omniscient despite his claim that he is?
How can allah be the creator if he clearly does not understand the science behind creation?
You can fiddle the Arabic all you like but the errors are clear
How can allah calim he gave the scripture to Moses {koran 2:87}and MISSED all the laws in that scripture and why do his teachings violate all the laws given to Moses?
Use critical thinking and follow allah’s unwitting advice in koran 10:94 to check with the Bible folk and avoid “scholars” of islam/dawah interpreting it for you.. and there you go…if you want to figure it out.
Kenneth Johnson says
And he is professor of law Aren’t lawyers suposed to intelligent and wel leducated. And he is on the facuty of a “great” university. Terrible,just terrible. KEN
Ade Fegan says
“Considered” ?????????
Troybeam says
Animals have a code of conduct, Islam does not.
Noah Andeark says
He’s kinda right. They ARE kinda like animals, but animals don’t behave the way muslims behave. Animals know better. muslims do not. It’s in the koran.
nicholas tesdorf says
Quite correct … As the Muslim UCLA professor says ‘Palestinians’ are ‘dehumanized’ and ‘are just like animals’. It’s good to hear it from the Horse’s Mouth.
brenrod says
His own words are proof that even when educated they support depraved atrocity.
Laura says
“dedicated to research and education to promote humanistically beautiful and morally elevating interpretations of Islam.” That man has he work cut out for him!
OLD GUY says
Just another muslim scholar teaching islamic propaganda to our children. He probably wouldn’t have hie position if it weren’t for the millions of dollars donated to UCLA from muslim/islamic countries.
terry says
Hey Dipstick sub-par professor, given a position by hook and crook, the Islamist ARE wild zombie-like beasts! You act like a zombie, you are a zombie. And not only these cretins are violent murders, rapist, liars, drug dealers, human traffickers, organ thieves, and truly only God knows what all, but they work for the Globalist criminal ruling Elites of the West and the Marxist Morons! The zombie hordes of gangs, thugs, criminals, and what not, are all funneled, fueled, and financed for the shady to outright ill-gotten gains; hidden for absolute power in all levels of government, education, corporation’s, and Foundations, Grants, and untold organizations. The world is being divided before our eyes into Luciferian type domains and fiefdoms: tyrants for the moment rule a world they are forging into a hell on earth, while calling it Paradise. All of these rulers and their paid beasts serve well this system of the Beast….
Lisa T. says
This professor said one true thing when he lamented, “If only the Muslims were an educated people.”
