Dutch Muslim who preached ‘harmony’ unmasked as ‘rabid anti-Semite’
Times of Israel ^ | February 17, 2017

Moroccan-born baker who appeared in TV show about coexistence previously tweeted that ’Hitler was nothing compared to Israelis’

A Muslim baker who moved many viewers in the Netherlands with his televised plea for coexistence and acceptance had called in the past for a genocide against Jews, Dutch papers revealed.

Rachid el Hajoui, an immigrant from Morocco who works at a pizza eatery in Tilburg, made his emotional appearance during an expose on growing feeling of insecurity and estrangement in the Netherlands aired on the Feb. 14 evening news edition of the NOS public broadcaster, the country’s best-viewed station.

In the interview (link in Dutch), el Hajoui confessed he feared going to mosque “because some crazy person might attack” there. “Intelligent people incite to the most stupid actions. And stupid people do it,” he said. He complained about “the hateful voices” on Twitter and in the political establishment, ostensibly against Muslims. “I stand for democracy and I want my family and everyone to live in harmony,” he said.

But on Wednesday, the de Dagelijkse Standard conservative blog found some hateful statements by el Hajoui, whom they also discovered was previously an activist for the Socialist Party and later with the progressive D66 party.

An English-language message posted on el Hajoui’s Twitter account in 2014 read: “Hitler was nothing compared to the Israelis. Someone would had to finish his work 60jr ago.” He also wrote in Dutch: “Only answer to Israel is total extermination, annihilate the cockroaches #1945 #wehateisrael.”

He also praised Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey’s authoritarian and Islamist leader, as “the only real man among Muslim leaders.”

The revelation exposed NOS to scathing criticism in other media for affording el Hajoui the opportunity to preach tolerance without addressing his past statements, which were revealed by Twitter users and bloggers who took an interest in him following the news broadcast. BY Friday, El Hajoui appeared to have deleted his Twitter account.

The Center for Information and Documentation for Israel, the country’s main watchdog group on anti-Semitism, filed a complaint for incitement to hatred against el Hajoui.

But Esther Voet, the group’s former director and currently the editor-in-chief of the Nieuw Israelitisch Weekblad, wrote in an op-ed in her weekly that while what she called el Hajoui’s hatred and hypocrisy are not surprising, what “is big news is that NOS made a hero out of this rabid anti-Semite” el Hajoui, whom she also called a “pet Moroccan.”

Separately, the Christian organizers of a festival for peace in the eastern city of Apeldoorn last week apologized for offering a podium to an anti-Israel activist whom they said had used anti-Semitic terminology in speaking about the Jewish state during the event last week.

Ending a protracted dispute, the Foundation Jewish Apeldoorn and the organizers from the Church Group Peace Week Apeldoorn signed a joint statement on Feb. 10, denouncing the remarks of the anti-Israel activist Cornelis Blok as “anti-Semitic.” The parties stated that Blok of the Sabeel group used the term “Jewish race” during his speech and equated Palestinian jihadists with anti-Nazi resistance fighters.

Blok denied harboring any anti-Semitic intent.

The chief organizer, Eddy Anneveldt, also apologized for writing to Blok a friendly email stating: “Because of you, my view of Jews has not particularly improved.” In the statement, Anneveldt wrote this was a generalization.

Fact: Muslims feel absolutely no shame in lying to non-Muslims.

It’s almost like the Koran tells them to do exactly this. [/s]

” Muslims feel absolutely no shame in lying to non-Muslims.”

Yea, I think the word for it is Taqueria, or something like that.

“Death to the Jews, and I mean that in the nicest possible way!” Somebody needs to polish his message a little here...

Yep. Taquiyya and several other types of lying are allowed in islam. They actually have definitions for the half dozen or so kinds of lies that are acceptable to commit to non-muslims. Such lovely people, I’m still waiting for the democrats and other leftists to invite the muzz to live with them in their own homes, break bread, commiserate and agree to find ways to kill the infidels, especially jewish and christian ones, that exist in their midst.

I was in an extremely liberal bookstore today, and I saw a "Dictionary of Islam", so I picked it up to look and see what it says about Taqiyya. It said that Taqiyya was permissible lying and deception to protect muslims from persecution.

David Meir-Levi (From FrontPage Magazine) disputes the above bland interpretation:
"...The Qur’an in a variety of verses (2:225, 3:28, 3:54, 9:3, 16:106, 40:28, and 66:2) establishes the religious legitimacy of breaking oaths, lying, unilaterally violating treaties, and generally scheming against non-Muslims.  Allah Himself is described as “the best of schemers” (3:54, 8:30, 10:21), and Muhammad declared, as a justification for murdering unarmed prisoners after offering them safe passage, “war is deceit” (see the Hadith collection of Bukhari, vol. 4, book 52, nos. 268-271). So during the negotiations of Oslo I and II, Arafat’s willingness to acquiesce to Israeli demands was merely his acting as a good Muslim warrior, using taqiyya, deceit in warfare, to put his enemy at a disadvantage..."

Taqiya

“Taqiyya is an Islamic juridical term whose shifting meaning relates to when a Muslim is allowed, under Sharia law, to lie.”

“...Yep. Taquiyya...”

We just went thru 8 years of that with the Kenyan/Indonesian POS. You’d think the press would have finally recognized it....but no. According to them, he “walks on water” instead.
Then, they wonder why mainstream America hates em so bad...LOL.

It should not be necessary to emphasize that moslems are not interested in ‘co-existence’ or ‘harmoney’ or anything of the kind.

They want only that everyone on the planet convert to islam or die. Period.
