The CIJA is “shocked” and considers Tareq Al-Suwaidan a “notorious extremist.” Among his antisemitic statements, they note that he describes the Jews as “the most hostile enemies of the Muslim nation.”
But that isn’t “extremist,” it’s mainstream Islam. The Qur’an says: “You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe.” (5:82)
They shouldn’t be “shocked.” They should adjust their expectations. If the political and media elites didn’t constantly tell us soothing lies about Islam being a religion of peace and tolerance, the CIJA might be better prepared for “shocks” of this kind.
“Top Canadian Jewish Group ‘Shocked’ at Muslim Student Organization’s Invite to Speaker Who Expressed ‘Genocidal Antisemitism,’” Algemeiner, August 5, 2021:
A top Canadian Jewish group expressed deep concern on Thursday regarding a speaker at a scheduled conference of Muslim students who has expressed violently antisemitic sentiments.
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) described the invitation to cleric Tareq Al-Suwaidan by the Muslim Student Leadership conference, organized by the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), as “shocking,” describing Al-Suwaidan as “a notorious extremist.”
The CIJA pointed to a series of antisemitic statements by the preacher, including serving as the author of a “Jewish encyclopedia” that denies the Holocaust and describes the Jews as “the most hostile enemies of the Muslim nation.”
Al-Suwaidan has said, “All the mothers of the Islamic nation … should suckle their babies on the hatred of the sons of Zion. We hate them. They are our enemies.”
He then openly engaged in a call for genocide, saying, “We should instill this in the souls of our children until a new generation rises and wipes them off the face of the earth.”
Al-Suwaidan has also engaged in antisemitic conspiracy theories, asserting that “All the wars throughout history … were started by the sons of Zion.”
Due to his extremist statements, Al-Suwaidan has been previously banned from Belgium and Italy.
Shimon Koffler Fogel, the President and CEO of the CIJA, commented, “It is shocking that any organization, especially a registered charity in Canada, would give a platform to those promoting a genocidal form of antisemitism.”
“What we need are initiatives that bring young people together, not a preacher who promotes extreme hate and incites religious violence,” he asserted….

So utterly pathetic that Billions consider a mere 25 million a threat.Muslims are such a sad people.

As a Jewish person I’M SHOCKED at how naive…well more like Stupid these Jews are!!! Question is, are they educated in history of the past by Islamist hate? And present hate by Islamists? All one has to do is LISTEN to their vitriol and OBSERVE what they are doing and promising ALL OVER THE WORLD. And let me add this. I was speaking to a friend last night on other obvious happenings not related to any religion, and realized she is completely oblivious to what is happening right in her neighborhood. I think I’ve heard that this is called LACK of Situational Awareness. I never realized how much this can be such a detriment to society until now.

Well put
Apparently their education is severely lacking
The jews like the Greeks should have learned by now what Islam reality is

The Jewish Defence League in Toronto that I support has no illusions about Muslims as a group, their hatred, intolerance and violence, but other Jewish groups are cowardly, stupid and delusional, hoping that Muslims will transform and become loving and tolerant of Jews. Evidently none bother to read the Qur’an, so mushy, wishful thinking prevails. They are not alone because today this is how the majority of Canadians think.
Whenever in Canada a Muslim commits a jihad crime, lying, stupid and dishonest politicians and the mostly utterly gutless and useless media inform us that the Muslim perpetrator had ‘mental issues’. Yet when in London, Ontario, a white Canadian in his pickup truck deliberately mowed down and killed four Muslims, the voluminous talk from politicians and world champ useless media was of ‘Islamophobia’, ‘racism’, ‘hatred of Muslims’ and poor victim Muslims – that Muslims then ‘milked’ for monetary gain. No excusing this man of ‘mental issues’, yet it would appear that he probably has. As in the case of Derek Chauvin, don’t expect a sympathetic jury when he lands up in court.

When you ask them how can they have such hatred towards the Jews they will respond that their hate is justified by the so-called ‘fact’ ( which is actually an utter BS) that the Jews in Israel are oppressing the Palestinians. Just like how in the US, the lefty group BLM justifies their rioting and violence based on another so-called ‘fact’ (i.e. utter BS) that the Blacks in America are being racially oppressed by the Whites. Both, these Islamic groups and BLM falsely make themselves look like victims (the fact is they are actually miserable victims of their own ego which revels in hatred and envy) so that they can continue to justify their violence towards those whom they hate and are envious of.
Keith O says
Such a beacon of tolerance, peace and truth!
If the roles were reversed and this pathetic example of humanity was screaming for the genocide of the mudslimes world wide, then the media and all their leftist, idiot followers would be spewing forth their hate filled drivel about this being “racist & islamophobic”.
If anything, this grub should be banned from every free nation on earth and denied any access to the internet so that his twisted thoughts cannot influence the feeble minds of his followers.

People really don’t understand how much Islam has in influence in America. People really need to learn and practice inferencing.

Jewish leaders are not stupid. They are not “shocked” by Islamic Jew-hatred. They are well familiar with it. This is a con game. The truth of the matter is many Jews and Jewish leaders hate White Christian civilization more than they hate Islamic anti-semitism.
Students of Islam and the negative impact of Muslim immigration to the West, need to open their eyes and ask some simple questions:
1 – Despite the well known enmity of Islam & Muslims to Jews, why is there an overwhelming support for Muslim immigration to Western countries, and ONLY to Western countries, by top Jewish leadership, both secular and religious?
2 – Why do the same Jewish leaders promote forced “multiculturalism” on Western nations, but defend to the extreme the right of Israel to build border walls and expel African migrants, in order to maintain their Jewish ethno-state?
IN THEIR OWN WORDS: Listen to a prominent Jewish leader promote destructive Muslim immigration, KNOWING THAT “JEWS WILL BE RESENTED BECAUSE OF OUR LEADING ROLE”

Here’s another rabbi admitting that the Islamization of Europe is a good thing.

“Jews should rejoice at the fact that Christian Europe is losing its identity as a punishment for what it did to us for the hundreds of years were in exile there,” the rabbi explained as the ethical reason for favoring Muslims, quoting shocking descriptions from the Rishonim literature (written by leading rabbis who lived during the 11th to 15th centuries) about pogroms and mass murders committed by Christians against Jews.”
“‘Islam a relatively honest religion’
The theological reason, according to Rabbi Efrati, is that Christianity – which he sees as idolatry – has a tendency to “destroy normal life and abstain from it on the one hand, while losing modesty on the other hand,” as it “ranges between radical monasticism to radical Western licentiousness.”
Islam, the rabbi added, is “a religion which misjudges its prophets but is relatively honest. It educates a bit more for a stable life of marriage and creation, where there is certain modesty and respect for God.”
Efrati ruled, therefore, that “even if we are in a major war with the region’s Arabs over the Land of Israel, Islam is still much better as a gentile culture than Christianity.”
He added, however, that Jews must pray that the Islamization of most of Europe will not harm the people of Israel.
I respect Robert Spencer for all the efforts and scholarship he has done over the years to expose the true nature of Islam to the West, and to promote free speech and fight censorship. But Spencer has a willful blind spot for the Muslim-Jewish alliance against the West and Christianity. Regular Jihad Watch readers must call him out on it.
