Egyptian minister quotes Koran verse on killing Jews

[King_David]

JTA — Egypt’s minister of religious endowments in an interview quoted a verse from the Koran about killing Jews.

The interview with Talaat Mohamed Afifi Salem was aired last month on Sada Al-Balad TV on March 14, according to Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute.

Asked by the interviewer whether he would “visit Israel with a Palestinian visa,” the minister said: “This is premature. Let’s wait until it happens. However, we hope that the words of the Prophet Muhammad will be fulfilled: Judgment Day will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Jews will hide behind the rocks and the trees, but the rocks and the trees will say: Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him — except for the gharqad tree, which is one of the trees of the Jews.”

Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein, the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Director of Interfaith Affairs, last year wrote a letter to Salem in which he expressed concern about “anti-Semitic calls for Jihad” made by Mohammed Badie, the Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood.

which is why I said I'd not say an effing word beyond the link, because you'd for certain take it badly - so you even take the fact that I didn't say an effing word badly...

Anybody ever tell you that you might be mite too *sensitive*?

6. some guy says something, his gov't still follows Israeli policy on Gaza and other matters

I still consider actions to be greater than words, so this chump can "hope" this with one hand all he wants, and hopefully shit on the other.

That last sentence kind of trailed off, I know:--this would not be for any directed purpose, I just think it would be amusing for him to do so. And I suspect that would probably be the only thing he could do that would interest me. There's a little too much "hope" (loud passivity) from the collaborationist Ikhwan regime, and not nearly enough actions that remotely reflect their words.
