Recently in San Diego, a member of the San Diego County Human Relations Commission made antisemitic remarks during an official commission meeting, and then, after a firestorm, he resigned. That would be that, just another day in the annals of the steadily rising Jew-hatred in America in 2023, but this story is even more disquieting than that: the antisemitic Human Relations Commissioner, Khaliq Raufi, is a Muslim migrant from Afghanistan, and his remarks were entirely consistent with Islamic teaching about Jews. That means we’re going to see a great deal more of this in America that the Left has made.
The Times of San Diego reported on July 27 that “San Diego County Supervisor Joel Anderson announced Wednesday that Human Relations Commissioner Khaliq Raufi had resigned over his antisemitic comments during an official meeting last week.” Anderson, who appointed Raufi to the Commission in the first place, was full of righteous indignation at his wayward ex-colleague’s misbehavior: “Commissioner Raufi’s ignorant comments were hurtful and in no way reflect my personal views, but they do highlight the urgent need to focus on education, bridge building, and to advocate for tolerance. After meeting with Commissioner Raufi, I have received his resignation letter.”
Raufi, who arrived in the U.S. from Afghanistan in 1992 and later aided U.S. Marines in Afghanistan, touched off the controversy back on July 18. During a meeting of the Commission, he claimed that he read “a few verses” of “the book of Jews,” and found that lo and behold, “it states go kill Palestinians.” According to the Times of San Diego, he also “claimed this is currently taught in synagogues.”
The assembled gaggle of unthinking, knee-jerk Leftists were appalled. One exclaimed, “Are you serious?,” although anyone who knew anything about what Islam teaches about Jews would have known that Raufi may never have been more serious in his life. Raufi was duly reported, this being the California SSR, as a “hate incident,” via the state’s new CA vs. Hate hotline. And now he has resigned.
Anderson, continuing to establish his virtue, said it was “deeply offensive to quote the religious texts from other’s faiths to support any political or intolerant narrative,” which of course means that he would reject honest analysis of the root causes of jihad violence as “Islamophobic.” He added that he thought that Raufi’s remarks “came from a place of ignorance but without malice,” and expressed the hope that he would “learn from this moment and build a bridge of understanding and tolerance with the Jewish community.”
It is Anderson who is coming from a place of ignorance, and who needs to learn from this moment. Raufi’s Jew-hatred comes from a deep foundation. The Islamic holy book, the Qur’an, says that the Jews are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82). They fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); and giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87).
There is much more. The Qur’an also says that the Jews wish evil for people and try to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120). It accuses them of being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
So it’s no surprise that Raufi thinks that the Jewish scriptures teach that Jews should kill Palestinians; it’s what his book says about Jews, and he likely assumes that this is just a response to the evil Jews’ teachings. The Palestinians weren’t even invented until the 1960s, but he is not likely to know that. In any case, the primary lesson of this ugly incident is that, with the ongoing influx of Muslim migrants into the U.S., there will be more such incidents. But there is no shortage of Leftists in America today, and they will denounce as “Islamophobic” any warning such as this one, and that also will ensure that we have not seen the last of the likes of Khaliq Raufi.
The San Diego Human Rights Commission, I wonder how much they pat those parasites?
Satans greatest trick is to convince people that he doesn’t exist. The same is true for Islam and it’s jihad against the west. Coincidence? Not hardly.
Agreed Robert. Yesterday in Memphis, a man with California plates on his vehicle tried to breach a Jewish school with gun in hand. School leaders, understanding full well the enormity of Jewish hate, took security steps themselves with heavy metal double locked doors to thwart the attempt. Of course, the nightly new’s only focus was what they called “lax gun laws” in the state rather than the hate behind the crime.
The Left believes that its pet “victim groups,” including Muslims, are never responsible for their own actions. So the problem must have been the gun. I’m surprised they didn’t also blame the car.
I doubt that wokelings who have anything more than the most tenuous contact with Muslims would be surprised by the views expressed by Khaliq Raufi. For example, “moderate Palestinian President” Mahmoud Abbas wrote his doctoral thesis denying the Holocaust, and has also denied the existence of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem (strange; the Romans who destroyed the Second Temple celebrated the deed with the Arch of Titus, which stands to this day in Rome).
There is no way the pin striped capons at the State Department or the United Nations are unfamiliar with Abbas and his odious views. Likewise “journalists” employed by The New York Times or The Washington Post. While it’s conceiveable that Dementia Joe is too addled and stupid to know this, his mental wet nurse and de facto president Barack Hussein Obama is certainly aware of it. George Soros not only is aware of it, he no doubt approves. So do Bernie and the Squad.
The only solution is to strip this filth of the rights and send them back to their collective squalor.
There are over two billion Christians in the world. There are at most 15 million Jews. More than 50% of religiously motivated hate crimes in the United States target Jews (Jews are no more than 2% of the population) and in Western Europe (where Jews are only a fraction of a percentage of the population).
Christians are persecuted in the remaining Communist states and in Islamic countries, but who’s fault is that? The mainstream Protestant demoninations and to a large extent the Catholic Church (certainly under Pope Francis) are obsequious toward Islam and toward Marxism. Moreover, these “liberal” denominations are antisemitic, which they unconvincingly disguise as “Anti-Zionism”.
There is no such thing as “The Book Of The Jews”.
Affirmative action in action, they are the perfect example of diversity being our strength.
What is going on in Africa should break a heart of stone. The suffering of Christians at the hands of Muslims is unspeakable. But we’re dealing with the U.S. here, so let’s stay on track. Both Robert Spencer and Raymond Ibraham write extensively about the persecution of Christians in Muslim lands.
Which ‘Book of the Jews’ is this?
I’ve never heard of it.
Another moslem doing what they do best, lying like rugs.
And for the idiot anderson, who thinks these filthy lies ‘came from a place of ignorance but without malice’, let me assure him that they come saturated with malice, also, that defending and appeasing these creatures won’t stop them from killing him when he’s no longer useful.
Simple solution. Only natural born Americans may serve on government boards. That won’t stop the problem but will mitigate it.
They are not lying. They cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality, appetite and the need for self-control. Before the Zionist moverment, the Land of Israel was a barren wasteland. All the historical evidence shows this. Herman Melville (1857) visited and called the Holy Land a “caked, depopulated Hell,” Mark Twain (1967) said the land “sits in sack cloth and ashes.” And no one calledhimself a “Palestinian” lived there. But once the Jews began draining swamps and planting trees, the Arabs hungered for what the Jews were creating and conjured up a fantasy-history of “Palestinians” living there for thousands of years whose ancient homeland was stolen by the Jews. The only two famous books associated with Araby are One Thousand and One Nights, which is a string of fairy tales, and the Koran, which is nothing but a plagiarization of the Jews’ Torah.
The left is adamant about importing these 3rd world barbarians.
I wish someone had asked him to show this non existent book and show where it says what he alleged. It would be fun to watch him squirm!
Anything like The Satanic Viruses?
They are suffering and in great numbers wherever Islam meets…anyone else. The reason you dont hear anything is that you may be paying disproportionate attention to MSM. The MSM wont discuss the subject at all because a. they dont like Christianity and B. they certainly dont want to prompt a military response on the part of any Western (American) army. Spencer and Raymond Ibrahim talk about it all the time.
The United States is in a downward spiral. For two generations our children have been
taught that America is evil while good parents and teachers and our political class
encouraged this transformation from America the good, but not perfect, to America
the abomination. America has a death wish and it may be unstoppable.
Another huge dilemma is to many of the J– haters are J’s themselves who are in
very high positions like Garfinkel (Garland) or Mayorkas or Shumer etc., etc.
As I have said many times before the worst enemy of the J’s are J’s at least by
DNA. J’s fighting J’s, what could be better for J haters?
Why do so many J’s hate themselves and America?
Any word from the terrorists at the terror org CAIR? They certainly agree with their fellow ackbarbarian, and should be standing behind him. They all worship the same made up moon god, and follow the pedophile mohammed, the pig-faced dog.
