Swedish Court Fines Imam $305 for Saying Jews Are Offspring of Monkeys and Pigs

By Pamela Geller - on September 3, 2019

It’s in the Quran – what are the Swedes going to do about that? No doubt, the imam will pay the fine happily – again and again.

Jewish apes and pigs

Oddly, Saqr is silent about the famous Koranic passages in which Allah transforms disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:63-66; 5:59-60; 7:166). The practice of calling the Jews of today “apes and pigs” has become a staple of jihadist discourse. Although Saudi authorities promised after 9/11 to revise textbooks that taught hatred against Jews and Christians, as late as 2006 Saudi texts still referred to Jews as “apes” and Christians as “swine.”

And in April 2008 a British employment tribunal awarded 70,000 pounds to a teacher who had been fired from a Saudi-funded Islamic school for exposing the fact that the school used textbooks that spoke of “the repugnant characteristics of the Jews” and asserted: “Those whom God has cursed and with whom he is angry, he has turned into monkeys and pigs. They worship Satan.”

In March 2004 Sheikh Ibrahim Mudayris, speaking on official Palestinian Authority television, railed against “the Jews today taking revenge for their grandfathers and ancestors, the sons of apes and pigs.”

And during the swine flu scare in May 2009, Sheikh Ahmad ‘Ali ‘Othman, the superintendent of da’wa [Islamic proselytizing] affairs at the Egyptian Ministry of Religious Endowments, declared, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, that “all pigs are descended from the Jews whom Allah transformed into apes, swine and worshippers of Satan, and must therefore be slaughtered.” Othman based his argument on Koran 5:60, one of the notorious “apes and pigs” passages of the Koran.

An Egyptian imam, Muhammad Hussein Ya’qoub, in January 2009 delivered a televised sermon in which he insisted that Muslim hatred of Jews had nothing to do with Israel, and everything to do with the Koran: “If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. We will never love them. Absolutely not. The Jews are infidels – not because I say so, and not because they are killing Muslims, but because Allah said: ‘The Jews say that Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that Christ is the son of Allah. These are the words from their mouths. They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers before. May Allah fight them. How deluded they are.’ [9:30]

It is Allah who said that they are infidels.” He also quoted Koran 5:82, the verse that says that the Jews are the Muslims’ worst enemies. His peroration: “As for you Jews – the curse of Allah upon you. The curse of Allah upon you, whose ancestors were apes and pigs…. Allah, we pray that you transform them again, and make the Muslims rejoice again in seeing them as apes and pigs. You pigs of the earth! You pigs of the earth! You kill the Muslims with that cold pig [blood] of yours.”

Saqr, for his part, asserted that because Jews “revolted against the Divine ordinances … they found no warm reception in all countries where they tried to reside. Rather, they would either be driven out or live in isolation.” Moreover, “Almighty Allah told us that He’d send to them people who’d pour on them rain of severe punishment that would last till the Day of Resurrection.”

Those people would be, by Saqr’s own account and that of other Islamic clerics, the Muslims.

Swedish Court Fines Imam $305 for Saying Jews Are Offspring of Monkeys and Pigs

By David Israel, Jewish Press, September 3, 2019:

A district court in Helsingborg, Sweden, has fined Imam Samir el Rifai 3,000 kronor ($305) for hate speech during a July 2017 demonstration, Expressen.se reported Monday.

The speech was sponsored by the Swedish-Palestinian Center in Helsingborg, and was carried out in Arabic at the city’s Gustav Adolf Square. The anti-Semitic content was reported to police by the Jewish Assembly in Helsingborg.In his speech, el Rifai said the Jews had conspired against both Jesua and Mohammed, and, in fact, “there is no prophet against whom those who are the progeny of monkeys and pigs have not made evil plans. They did it to all the prophets and to all nations, and this has also affected our prophet, peace be upon him.”

In court, the defendant argued that he had only attacked the State of Israel, over its restriction of access to al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, but plaintiffs’ attorney Ylva Norling Jönsson told Expressen: “We believe it is clear from the speech in its entirety that the statement was aimed at Jews in relation to their religion, not the [Israeli] regime or its military force.”

According to Nyheter Idag, the same July 2017 rally in Helsingborg also called for violence against Jews and praised Muslim martyrs with chants such as “Shoot your rifle, let your bullets punch holes,” and “Remember the hero, Kalashnikov.” Several speakers compared Arab leaders to women and homosexuals for their timidity in face of the West and, especially, Jews and Zionists.

Sweden’s Act on Special Control of Foreigners allows for the deportation of foreign nationals over their misbehavior, but the Helsingborg court did not pursue the expulsion of el Rifai, who is a Lebanese citizen.

You are right, the Qur’an should be banned as hate literature, but instead in Canada Human Rights Tribunals side with Muslims and never mention Islam’s hate literature. It’s the same all over the West, it’s leaders spineless and ignorant of Islam’s true nature.

I’m certain the Jews of Malmo, if there are any left, must be feeling much safer knowing the imam has been fined…

That hate preacher will laugh about the fine. His drug dealer deciphals will look after that. The fine should go 10fold of the previous fine every time that inbreed preaches that rubbish. Better still would be to remove that goat rapist from the country.

It was so he could pay out of his welfare payment and not be affected.

Quite apart from the fact that it is biologically impossible. Different species cannot interbreed. The Muslims themselves are more prone to degeneration due to their frequent intra familial marriages. There is plenty of evidence of this in the number of children born to Muslims with a variety of deformities both mental and physical. This is not usually spoken about but any physician can provide evidence.

What an hypocrite judgement of Swedish Cultural Marxist belittling hate of Jews. A patriot would have got 6 months for less than that.

I REMEMBER READING THE SWEDISH COURT FINED SOME SWEDE OVER $1000 US DOLLARS FOR NOT HIRING A MUSLIM LADY WHO WOULDN’T LET HIM SHAKE HER HAND! THIS IMAM ISN’T EVEN A CITIZEN BUT THEY LET HIM STAY SO FOR A NEW HOLOCAUST, HE CAN PRAY! MEANWHILE, HIS CONGREGATION OF JIHADI INVADER-HATERS PAY HIS FINES! WHAT A JOKE! SWEDEN, UNLIKE FRANCE, WHICH IS FULL DHIMMI IS ACTING LIKE A HALF-DHIMMI NATION!
