What negotiated settlement do you think can be reached with the likes of Mohamed Ould Khattari? And he is no “extremist”: the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
“Mauritanian Islamic Scholar Mohamed Ould Khattari: The Quran Teaches Us To Be Enemies Of the Jews; Normalization Is An Attempt To Do Away With The Disgust Muslims Feel Towards Jews,” MEMRI, September 22, 2020:
Mauritanian Islamic scholar Mohamed Ould Khattari said in a lecture that was uploaded to bessayir.com on September 22, 2020 that the Quran has taught the Muslims that the Jews are the most evil of creatures and the sworn enemies of Islam. He explained that normalization with Israel is an attempt to break the barriers raised between Muslims and the Jews by the Quran, the “sensitivity” Muslims feel towards the Jews, and the feeling of disgust Muslims have when “told about a Jew.” Khattari warned that normalization is the beginning of the end for those who are signing agreements with the Zionists and befriending the Jews.
Mohamed Ould Khattari: “The Quran has raised us to be the enemies of the Jews. It has revealed their characteristics to us. It has shown us that they are the most evil of creatures, the sworn enemies of this [Islamic] nation and message. Indeed, they are the enemies of all the [divine] messages. They are the ones who killed the prophets and the messengers. They are the ones who fought Islam at its inception, when they tried to kill the Prophet Muhammad. They are ungrateful and oppressive people. This is what Allah has shown us in the Quran.
“The normalization is an attempt to break these barriers, upon which we were raised. It tries to undo the sensitivity the Muslims feel toward the Jews. When a Muslim is told about a Jew, he feels disgusted, because it evokes a history of treachery, betrayal, and oppression.

“The people who turned towards the Zionists and signed agreements with them – this is the beginning of their end. If they have money, it will all be gone. If they enjoy stability, it will change into fear. Time will show who is right – us or them. It is the law of Allah that the Jews are ominous and bring bad luck. No one has ever befriended them without regretting it.”
