JEW HATRED IN THE KORAN BY DR.ANDREW BOSTOM AT THE GOV……..

 

Overlooking all the open ended calls for violence and mayhem against the non-Muslim in the koran, there’s also the inconvenient fact of the koran containing page after page of calls for violence and hatred against the Jews, as well as demonizing them in every way possible. This again is something that the OIC, and any other Muslim organization (Dr. Zuhdi Jasser included) refuses to admit to.

Antisemitism in the Qur’an, Part 2

Gates of Vienna: Several years ago Andrew Bostom published a comprehensive survey of antisemitism as expressed in the Qur’an. The article is unfortunately no longer available online, so the author has kindly sent us the full text. 

This is the second of four installments. Part 1 is here.
Koran, 9th century AD
Antisemitism in the Qur’an: Motifs and Historical ManifestationsPart 2by Andrew G. BostomThe Persistent Historical Application of the Anti-Jewish Motifs in the Qur’anEarlier, in relation to Qur’an 5:82, a few brief examples were provided[85] illustrating the historical continuity (from 9th century Baghdad/Iraq, to19th century Egypt) of the hateful attitudes towards Jews this specific verse (5:82) engendered among the Muslim masses, as chronicled by contemporary observers, both Muslim and non-Muslim. Having now presented a full spectrum of the major anti-Jewish motifs in the Qur’an, additional illustrations demonstrating their persistent influence on Muslim attitudes (and resultant behaviors) towards Jews, can be provided. Four themes will be considered: (I) the Jews being associated with Satan and consigned to Hell (Qur’an 4:60, 4:55, 58:14—19, and 98:6); (II) the imposition of the Qur’anic poll-tax (jizya; Qur’an 9:29) on Jews, specifically, and (III) the related enforcement of the Qur’anic (2:61) “curse” upon the Jews for killing the Prophets, and other transgressions against Allah’s will, meriting their permanent humiliation and abasement; and, last in connection to this curse, (IV) the Jews’ transformation into apes/swine, as punishment (Qur’an 2:65, 5:60, and 7:166).

Formal decrees (or modern pronouncements) and opinions from Muslim rulers, jurisconsults, and theologians—past and present—have repeatedly associated non-Muslim dhimmis in general, or Jews specifically, with Satan, and the torments of being consigned deservedly to Hell. The Abbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil in an anti-dhimmi decree dated 850, according to Tabari’s account, [86] “…commanded that wooden images of devils [87] be nailed to the doors of their homes to distinguish them from the homes of Muslims.” Ibn Abdun, a Muslim jurist from Seville, Spain invoked Qur’an 58:19 in a section of his treatise (dated 1100) on dhimmi servitudes which discussed the appropriate dress of dhimmis, and how Muslims should “greet” them: [88]
