Saudi School Textbooks: Christians Are Swine; Jews Are Apes and Devil-Worshippers

Filed under: International,Scum,Terrorism — Patterico @ 1:45 pm



A Saudi embassy spokesman:

We have reviewed our educational curriculums. We have removed materials that are inciteful or intolerant towards people of other faiths.

And (from the same link), here are some quotes from actual current Saudi textbooks:

As cited in Ibn Abbas: The apes are Jews, the people of the Sabbath; while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus.

and this:

God told His Prophet, Muhammad, about the Jews, who learned from parts of God’s book [the Torah and the Gospels] that God alone is worthy of worship. Despite this, they espouse falsehood through idol-worship, soothsaying, and sorcery. In doing so, they obey the devil. They prefer the people of falsehood to the people of the truth out of envy and hostility. This earns them condemnation and is a warning to us not to do as they did.

They are the Jews, whom God has cursed and with whom He is so angry that He will never again be satisfied [with them].

  1. Well actually, according to cladistics we’re all apes. We are anthropoids, hominids, homids, and humans. I do think it unfortunate that the Saudi’s continue to treat “ape” as an insult.

  2. Pat… I used this material on a radio show. I was asked to fill in for. Got about three calls in the hour. The next hour the host brought up the matter of someone stealing $12,000 from the school department. The lines were jammed for hours!!
    You tell me where the hell peoples priorities are..

  3. […] The ‘Alliance of Civilizations‘ report does not address why government controlled Arab world media is filled with some of the most vile hatred and bigotry directed at non Muslims. Nor does the UN funded study address the reason school textbooks are so hate filled (see this, too, for latest reference to Jews as ‘apes’ and Christians as ’swine’ references). […]

  4. It’s true, the Qura’an does mention the Jews as being deviant. They don’t believe in Jesus as a prophet of God.
