MEMRI TV Project: Saudi IQRA TV Examines Public Attitudes toward Jews

The following dispatch, recorded and translated by MEMRI's TV Monitor Project, are excerpts from a show on Saudi Arabia's IQRA TV Channel, which featured "man on the street" interviews about feelings about Jews. To view a segment from this show, visit http://memritv.org/Search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=275: [1]


Interviewer: 'Would You, as a Human Being, be Willing to Shake Hands with a Jew?'


Respondent 1:

"Of course I wouldn't be willing to shake hands with a Jew, for religious reasons and because of what is happening now in Palestine, and for many reasons that don't allow me to shake a Jew's hand."


Respondent 2:

"No. Because the Jews are eternal enemies. The murderous Jews violate all agreements. I can't shake hands with someone who I know is full of hatred towards me."

Respondent 3:

"No, the Jew is an enemy. How can I shake my enemy's hand?"


Interviewer: "Would you refuse to shake hands with a Jew?"

Respondent 4:

"Of course, so I wouldn't have to consider amputating my hand afterwards."


Interviewer: 'If a Child Asks You Who 'Who are the Jews,' What Would You Answer?'


Respondent 5:

"The enemies of Allah and His Prophet."

Respondent 6:

"The Jew is the occupier of our lands."

Respondent 7:

"The murderers of prophets. Our eternal enemies, of course."

Respondent 2:

"The murderers of prophets, that's it."


Respondent 8:

"Allah's wrath is upon them, as the Koran says. Allah's wrath is upon them and they all stray from the path of righteousness. They are the filthiest people on the face of this earth because they care only about themselves - not the Christians, not the Muslims, nor any other religion.

"The solution is clear, not only to me but to everyone. If only [the Muslims] declared Jihad, we would see who stays home. We have a few countries… There is one country with a population of over 60-70 million people. If we let them only march, with no weapons even, they would completely trample the Jews, they would turn them into rotten carcasses under their feet. There is another country that donated money, saying, 'I am behind you, I'll support you with weapons, just wage [ Jihad ].'

"But the cowardice inside us, deep within our hearts, was instilled by the Arab leaders, may Allah forgive them. They breast-fed us with it from the day we were born to this very day it has grown with us."

Sorry with the answers given I think they should have taken out the phrase "As a human being". These people are savages and they nonchalantly give answers like these with a smile on their faces.

Ahh the refreshing breath of air that is: Islam. Why after a while you don't even notice the stench of carcases, ignorance and hatred.

Takin' it to the streets (of Saudi Arabia) - ping.

Our allies in the war on terror are asked: "Would you shake hands with a Jew?"

(Bear in mind; Jews and "The People of The Bood - Christians" are both viewed as enemies of Islam.)

'Would You, as a Human Being, be Willing to Shake Hands with a Jew?'

Absolutely not! Shaking hands with a Jew would make a muslim's penis shrivel up and fall off!

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

I don't know if you noticed they are talking about Jews, not Israel. Otherwise, when the Jews are done and away with, all the muslim world will immediately fall in love with America. What world are you living in, unless I did not discern the subtle sarcasm in your post. The sarcasm button is still on your keyboard.

May one day the Muslim Nation learn how to read and understand GOD's Law for All people for All Time and learn to live by it...


The Ten Commandments
And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am The LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I The LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the Name of The LORD thy God in vain; for The LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of The LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days The LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore The LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which The LORD thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s."

Exodus 20:1-17

Poor fella. He is right, allah's wrath is upon them. But, the Almighty God's blessing is upon them! allah looses over and over and yet he continues to believe in allah! Why? If allah was really the one and only God, why do his followers have to kill people and try to force their religion on others? Why do they have to attack people who don't attack them? Why isn't their god strong enough to do his own work? Why do his people live in misery, war and poverty?

How did Israel take over "their" lands, if their god is almighty? Why do Jews, who have been the most oppressed people on earth, continue to thrive and most are blessed financially? It isn't cowardice in your people that causes the Jews to thrive. It is the power of Almighty God. The true God. I have to say, the God who, loved his enemies so much, that he died and rose again in a flesh body, to conquer and atone for sin. If you would only believe in Him, he would set you free from your corrupted mind and fill your heart with LOVE.

I assumed, (which one never does) that by the term jews, and all interviewed were Middle Eastern, that they were defining Jews, as Israeli's. If that is the only reason why they don't like us, which I don't believe it is, (we are just as much infidels as the jews) our nation is just too humane to them. Deep down, they want us all dead, and yes, it is early in the morning, opening statement into the discussion, was left out. SORRY.
