		<description>ASalamu Alaikum,
I was looking for more info about the &quot;Apes and Pigs&quot; and 
Can you linked me to some sources that denied the use of those Suras against nowadays Jews and Christians? Because as we know, nowadays, there are many Islamic groups (like Hamas, Islamic jihad etc&#039;) who are using those terms against Jews (mostly) and Christians...
Anyway, I&#039;m glad I could find here other point of view. 
Thank you for that.</description>

		<description>I happened to stumble across this site while trying to explain to someone that &quot;Yes, there&#039;s something in the Qu&#039;ran about Jews, apes &amp; pigs, but it&#039;s NOT what everyone thinks it is&quot; - and this site, as well as the commentary, perfectly illustrate the point I was trying to make. Thank you for getting the truth out.</description>

		<description>Assalaaamu Alaikum
subhanallah!!! I just watched a video on YouTube with my friend who wants to convert and it was a mother asking a 3 yr old what Allah thinks of the Jews and the girl said that they are pigs and monkeys and then She asked her how she knew and the girl said from the Quran. Both me and my friend were suprised and I was embarrassed because I didn&#039;t know wat to say and I knew I remeber reading that somewhere. Now I know to show her this, Alhamdulillah.
As Muslims we need to also stop saying &quot;yighribit il yahood&quot; astagfirullah 
may Allah forgive us
barak alahu feek suheib webb!! I love ur website!</description>

		<description>There is a principle in Judaism that a person does not obey Allah that person is considered beneath an animal.  An animal does not have intellect as we do and it does as Allah wishes.  When a Jew who like all humans has the intelect and capacity to discern the truth and obey Allah&#039;s commands fails to do so he is beneath the animal.

I find it interesting that one would postulate from this account in the Quran that all Jews are Pigs and Apes. 
Even if those Jews who were transformed in this manner did reproduce would not the offspring be Pigs and Apes?  I never met a Jew with four legs and rolling around in mud.  Nor have I met a Jew with hair  all over and eating bananas. I am poking a little fun, but you see my point I am sure.

It is advantageous for those who want to divide the Muslim and Jewish community with hate and fear to propogate this falsehood that all Jews are pigs and apes. 

Remember how Muhammad pbuh treated the Jews of his time.  We should emulate the Prophet pbuh in this manner as we do so dillegently in all others.</description>
