"I want to share something deeply personal today. When I tell you that I was taught to hate Jews, like the overwhelming majority of Muslims in the Muslim world, I mean every word.
My father died in 2016. I didn't attend his funeral or burial in Cairo. I felt awful, so I asked my family for some belongings to remind me of him. I was given quite a few things, including a book that bought us in 2000 and often read for me and my brother.
The book is called "stories of animals in the Quran". The publisher is based in downtown Cairo and the book can be found anywhere.
Today, I will share some of the quotes from this book (cover page attached in this post and other photos in first comment).
- The Golden Calf: the house of Israel are idol worshippers who are not true to faith.
- Elephant: there was once a man who was king in Yemen, his name was "Zu Nawas", he was a tyrant. Two Jewish men lured him to embrace Judaism and to leave Christianity and force Judaism on the people, but the people didn't abandon Christianity. So, they [the men] suggested that he dig a deep pit and fill it with fire and offer the people an ultimatum, embrace Judaism or be thrown in the fire.
- Donkey: better than Jews who were burdened with the Torah and rather than keep it, they forged it and altered it.
- Apes: the ape Saturday people, Allah never transfigured a nation to the most degenerate animal as he did to the house of Israel. Allah obliged them to Friday, they deviated from it and accepted Saturday.
I was 10 in 2000, my brother was 7. This is what we were told about Jews. This is what kids are taught in Muslim countries.
But, of course, go ahead. Tell yourself that Israel is to blame. Scream, "free Palestine", and fall for the lie that the antisemitism we see on our streets has nothing to do with MUSLIM ANTISEMITISM and a campaign of GLOBAL JIHAD waged by millions of Muslims across the world.
Go on, fall for the lies. Be a useful idiot. But, don't you ever dare gaslight me and tell me that what I was taught and experienced, and that the evidence I show you TODAY, is not true!!!
I will speak out against Muslim antisemitism until the last day of my life. I have a favour to ask: please share this with all the loud Muslim activists who argue there's no antisemitism within Muslim communities, especially Mehdi Hasan who blocked me, and the loud broadcasters involved in this conflict, such as Piers Morgan!"
