Muslim Brotherhood Tops Anti-Semitic Rhetoric List

[oberliner]

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood produced the worst anti-Semitic and anti-Israel slurs this year, according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

The Center topped its annual “Top Ten Anti-Semitic/Anti-Israel Slurs” list with a quote from Mohammed Badie, a Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader who lamented “Jewish control” and ”spreading of corruption on earth,” and recommended “holy Jihad” as a remedy.

Also quoted in the entry was Futouh Abd al-Nabi Mansour, a cleric affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood who called on Allah to “destroy the Jews and their supporters” in a sermon delivered in the presence of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in October.

Second on the list was the Iranian regime.

1. Thats quite an achievement .

“destroy the Jews and their supporters”


no anti-semitism there.

2. Been tried.

Didn't work. Problem was their "supporters" were a bit too strong and numerous.

Might work next time. They're taking aim at the previous problem and working to remove supporters.

3. Yes..another plan to "destroy Jews"

They seem to have a new plan to "destroy Jews" almost everyday.

Now it's taking aim at their supporters.

They never seem to get it... Their desire to "destroy Jews" is destroying themselves.

When you burn with hatred you just burn up.

5. They were talking about zionists not Jews.

They were also talking about liberating the W Bank and Gaza not destroying Jews and Israel. They want a Palestinian state on the W bank/Gaza and a peace agreement with Israel.
This was a mistranslation/misundertanding of their meaning and intent.

6. You are wrong

Call me a MEMRI skeptic. That's because the Middle East Media And Research Institute, which monitors and translates media from across the Muslim world, has something of a questionable past. Setting aside a board of advisers loaded down with some less-than-reliable neocons, MEMRI's at ts most troubling with its occasional mistranslations conflating Israel and Zionism with Jews in general, presenting critics of government policies and ideology, respectively, as anti-Semites.

So you'll have to forgive me for being hesitant to jump on the video MEMRI put out of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi attending a prayer service in Cairo where the Imam made anti-Jewish remarks. But I enlisted some Arabic-speaking friends, and the MEMRI translation checks out. And it's quite troubling. "Oh Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters," says Futouh Abd Al-Nabi Mansour, according to the MEMRI translation. "Oh Allah, disperse them and rend them asunder." In the video, ripped from Egypt's Channel 1, Morsi sites cross-legged, palms to the sky, and muttered prayers as the homily is delivered.

Now, I'm not much for the "denounce this and denounce that" game, that endless cycle ideological opponents make each other run through constantly in order to find condemnable fault. But this isn't a game. This isn't some preacher Morsi sat next to once, who spewed vitriol at some other instance. This is the President of Egypt sitting in the front row, rocking slightly as Mansour lets loose what can only be considered a religious appeal to genocide.
