One would have hoped that the barbaric Oct. 7 Hamas massacre would prompt at least transient denunciations of the terror group and its Islamic ideology from the majority of the American Muslim community. The community’s response on the street, at universities and now a Colorado mosque teaching impressionable children have extinguished that pipe dream.
On Oct. 22, Imam Umar Mitchell of the Umar Ibn Al-Khattab mosque in Aurora, Colorado taught a Quranic lesson to children at the Colorado Muslims Community Center. His lesson included defamatory descriptions of Jews that appear in the Quran. He called the Jews inveterate liars (2:10, 3:75) who never abide by their contracts and covenants (2:61, 3:112, 4:155, 5:13), murder their prophets (2:61, 3:112, 3:181, 4:155) and even attempted to murder Jesus.
Mitchell also recounted the Quranic story of Jewish fishermen transformed by Allah into “literal physical monkeys” for fishing on Saturday (2:65, elaborated in 7:163, 7:164, 7;165, 7:166; verse 5:60 refers to the Jews as “apes and pigs”). He further insisted that Israel consistently defeats the Palestinians because the Jews deceive Palestinians into trusting them. He added, “It is not hate speech for you to be aware of these things.”
