Hamas Deputy Speaker: Exterminate the Jews, offspring of apes and pigs, etc

[Mediocrates]

Nothing new here just more of the same 'moderate' Islamist twaddle that the West can't bow down far enough to.

In the Qur'an; Surahs 2:65 & 7:166 some Muslim apologists argue (taquiyya) that the context is metaphorical; however, in Surah 5:60 the reference is anything but a metaphor.

YUSUFALI: Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, (as judged) by the treatment it received from Allah? those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped evil;- these are (many times) worse in rank, and far more astray from the even path!"

PICKTHAL: Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allah? (Worse is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom His wrath hath fallen and of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine, and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the plain road.

SHAKIR: Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in retribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and of whom He made apes and swine, and he who served the Shaitan; these are worse in place and more erring from the straight path.

This verse (in 3 translations) referred mainly to the Jews of Bani Qaynuqa, and by extension all Jews ever to reside on the planet. This reference has been mentioned numerous times by numerous contemporary Muslim leaders and clerics. It is an absurd premise at best.
