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).
“2 of Joey Borgen’s attackers plead guilty on hate crime charges for 2021 beating,” by Jacob Henry, New York Jewish Week, April 26, 2023:
(New York Jewish Week) — Two men pled guilty this week for attacking Joey Borgen, a Jewish man who was severely beaten in 2021 while walking to a pro-Israel rally in Manhattan.
Waseem Awawdeh, one of five men who punched, kicked, pepper-sprayed and beat Borgen with crutches, pled guilty on Tuesday for attempted assault in the second degree as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. The Manhattan district attorney’s office confirmed his plea to the New York Jewish Week. It was first reported by Jewish Insider.
The beating, which took place amid a spike in antisemitism surrounding Israel’s 2021 war with Hamas in Gaza, drew national attention. And the court battle that followed led to criticism from activists in the city’s Jewish community that District Attorney Alvin Bragg was being too lenient with Awawdeh. Earlier this month, Borgen’s father, Barry, was invited by the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee to testify at a hearing in New York City on Bragg and violent crime in Manhattan.
Awawdeh will serve a total of 18 months in jail, and will be sentenced on June 13, Bragg’s office said. That includes 12 months for the attempted assault charge, and six months for the criminal possession charge, to be served consecutively.
Another defendant, Faisal Elezzi, pled guilty to attempted assault in the third degree as a hate crime on Monday. He will be sentenced on June 8 to three years’ probation and is required to continue compliance with anti-bias programming. Both Awawdeh and Elezzi were required to make a public apology.
Awawdeh’s sentence is longer than a six-month plea deal Bragg had reportedly offered him months ago, which had spurred backlash from Borgen, his family and Jewish activist groups, which demanded a longer sentence.
But Borgen told the New York Jewish Week that he still is not “happy about” the sentences, which he believes should be harsher. He pointed to a report that Awawdeh had said he would “do it again.”
Borgen was wearing a yarmulke while heading to a pro-Israel rally, the same day Hamas and Israel announced a ceasefire after 11 days of conflict, when he was attacked on the street in Midtown on May 20, 2021 by five people, including Awawdeh and Elezzi. Awawdeh also yelled “dirty Jew” while beating Borgen, who was sent to the hospital and needed surgery on his wrist….

Sounds like they did some wheedling and dealing. bragg…soft on real crime….but willing to lie to get what he personally wants.

Just nuts, Eric–thanks for the link to that terrible story.

I’m truly sorry you have been the victim of injustice, but I’m not surprised that the person on the train complained….mozlums and their supporters are out to stop us from talking; the prosecutor and judge are two of the supporters, it seems.

Those two Muslims who maliciously and viciously beat by punching and kicking and then pepper-sprayed a Jewish man because of the hate for Jews is the result of the malice-filled anti- Semitism of the religion of Islam.
For according to Islam, the Jews are “apes and swine in human form.” 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60. Such vicious and malice -filled vicious murderous spite and hate for the Jewish people is based upon the foundation of Islam’s “holy book” the Qu ‘ran.
In other words the Qu ‘ran inspires and causes such hideous violence. Furthermore, another role the Koran has in such deadly Islamic terror attacks in the Jewish nation of Israel is that the Koran contains many negative about the Jewish people.
The reason that the Qu’ran reads as it does have much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is for a specific time period of his life Muhammad lived among many Jewish people and he liked them at first.
Later then they would not accept his claim of being of prophet, Muhammad then took is dislike to them that then turned into bitterness and even hate for them. So in the hate and bitterness he spoke many derogatory things about the as even referring to them as “apes and swine.” Such word of bitterness and hate, along with other thing he said, where written down on things and then later after his death those words were together and then eventually, in time went in the composition of the Qu ‘ran.
Therefore, that why the Koran reads and in does about the Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Qu ‘ran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60.
Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that there is a chance the Muhammad actually might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead, Muhammad was a deceptive, lying false prophet send by Satan to lead many people astray and even and straight into hell. Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned of the coming of such men as Muhammad. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. In addition, the Bible further warns that “many false prophets have gone out into the world.” First John 4:1. [N.K.J.V.]

Mohammed probably didn’t even exist. Stop stressing your brain cells. More than likely, he was probably nothing more than a mythic construct of the typical savage male of that time and place.

This is what Islam teaches about its appalling founder and “ideal man”, whether he existed historically or not. This character is still the model for all pious Muslims today.
Walter Sieruk says
Those violent hostility of those two Muslim man towards that Jewish man is a reflection of the people is anti-Semitism of Islam. As the Qu ran referred to as “apes and pigs in human form”, 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60.
This is one of many terrible evil fruits of Islam.
Jesus taught. “By their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7: 20. [N.K.J.V.]
commonsense says
These two bastards are almost certainly not native born, but come from elsewhere. They are presumably hostile not only to Jews but to all non-Muslims. Additionally, it’s more than likely that they are Shari’a supporters and dismissive of American Constitutional law – or for that matter, any legal system not based upon Islamic precepts. Are they citizens? If so, how was it that they were allowed to become citizens? They should be denaturalized and promptly deported after serving their sentences as it is quite apparent their continued presence here endangers American Jews and, frankly, everyone else who is not one of Allah’s minions. It’s simply outrageous how little those in authority have learned or cared about Muslim beliefs, more than twenty years after 9-11. The Tsarnaev brothers, the Fort Hood, Orlando, and San Bernadino massacres….so many lives lost because of Islam. Oh, and by the way, how many Iftar dinners were held at Joe Biden’s White House this year? Just asking.

When are Jews going to decide to stop being victims and train daily in martial arts, firearms combat, military tactics and always carry iron? The moslems aren’t going to change and nothing else is going to change. What are the Jews waiting for?
gravenimage says
The victim was attacked by two Jihadists, armed with pepper spray. The news story is unclear, but either the victim was on crutches, or else one of the assailants was pretending to be on crutches, and hence less of a danger.
I agree that Jews and other Infidels should be as able to defend themselves as possible, but Muslims so often gang up on those they attack.
I think you are off base blaming the victim here.
Pray Hard says
Why do people continue to believe that “mohammed” even existed? If you (rhetorical “you”) believe he existed, let’s see some proof. Oh, you say, he was written about. So? People wrote about Superman also. Maybe there was some dirt bag back then named “mohammed”. There were probably thousands of them, but so what?
gravenimage says
I agree that it seems unlikely that the “Prophet” Muhammed existed historically. But beyond a point it hardly matters, because pious Muslims believe he existed, and use his reported atrocities as a model for their own behavior.
somehistory says
If he did not really exist as a person, the sleaze who thought him up are just as evil as he was written to be.
And as you say, mozlums follow, imitate and even emulate, his supposed actions of mass-murder, theft, fraud, lying, rape, owning slaves, and the rape of children, babies to older ages.
To mozlums, he did exist, and because they worship him, accusing others of slander when telling the Truth, he still exists.
gravenimage says
All grimly true, Somehistory.
James Lincoln says
Yes, gravenimage.
On a practical point, it makes no difference whether or not mohammed *actually* existed.
It is likely that all of the jihad attacks during the last 1400 years were committed as the result of a totally fake prophet.
