Would You Shake Hands With a Jew?

Little Green Footballs yesterday ran an article about a Saudi television program. The program interviewed Saudis on the street and asked them if they would ever "shake the hand of a Jew." The results were telling. All of the interviewed Saudis said they would not shake the hand of a Jew, but the responses that rang my bell were these:

Interviewer: Would you, as a human being, be willing to shake hands with a Jew?

Interviewee 1: Of course I wouldn’t be willing to shake hands with a Jew, for religious reasons...

Interviewee 2: No. Because the Jews are eternal enemies.

Interviewee 3: No, the Jew is an enemy. How can I shake my enemy’s hand?

Interviewer: If a child asks you who “who are the Jews,” what would you answer?

Interviewee 5: The enemies of Allah and His Prophet.

The responses indicate a truth that the Left so often rejects: that Muslims hate Jews for religious reasons, and not because of the existence of Israel or because they want their own homeland or because of any other reason. Islam is the reason Muslims hate Jews. The Qur'an is filled with hatred of Jews, including a description of their ultimate, future mass murder by Muslims, when trees and rocks will cry out for Muslims to kill the Jews hiding behind them. Muhammad hated Jews because they laughed at his claim to be a prophet, and he passed his hatred on to the billions of darkened souls who have followed him in his false religion.
