If you want to insult your
opponent in the Muslim
world, you can’t do better
than to call him a Jew –
or worse than a Jew.
We’ve already seen Muslim
Brotherhood supporters
claiming that Egypt’s al-Sisi is
Jewish, and we’ve seen Sisi’s
supporters saying that
the original founder of the
Muslim Brotherhood was
Jewish.
We’ve seen Shiites accused of being worse than Jews, secularists accused of being
worse than Jews. and Islamists accused of being worse than Jews.
So who’s left?
Why, it is our favorite antisemite and popular TV preacher, Sheikh Yussuf Qaradawi!
According to a pro-Shiite newspaper, “research” has shown that Qaradawi’s family
came from an area where
Jews of the Bani Qurayza tribe had fled from Arabia to Egypt. His grandfather
practiced usury, just like the Jews, and gouged farmers with high interest loans. He
would confer with Jewish rabbis on how to do his immoral money lending business. In
other words, while they don’t want to say it explicitly, Qaradawi is of obvious Jewish
descent!
Qaradawi had called for jihad against Syria and Hezbollah, which pretty much explains
this whole accusation.
