Saudi cleric: Don’t tell Muslims they have the ‘despicable’ traits of a Jew

Saudi cleric Abd Al-Aziz Fawzan Al-Fawzan said that even though a Muslim might possess “some of the despicable and nasty traits of the Jews,” one must not taunt or curse them for this.

Saudi cleric Abd Al-Aziz Fawzan Al-Fawzan said that even though a Muslim might possess “some of the despicable and nasty traits of the Jews,” they must not be taunted or cursed for this.

Describing these traits, Al-Fawzan said that the Jews are “the most envious of people and the most likely to use sorcery,” and are known “for arrogance and for sowing corruption upon the land.”

His statements aired on the Kuwaiti Al-Resala TV channel on Feb. 23.

“This man has appeared 22 times in court with so many excuses. He is completely unrepentant,” a court watcher who was present at the trial told JNS.
A congressman on the House Armed Services Committee confirmed the proposal to JNS.
The independent executive branch agency told JNS that the behavior is “not acceptable” and the incident is being “fully investigated.”
“It can’t just be business as usual,” Evan R. Bernstein told JNS. “We’re not done yet.”
