[ April 18, 2024 ]
Anti-Semitic attacks have sharply increased in the U.S., and virtually the entire political and media establishment has agreed that this is attributable to the rise of “white supremacists” and the “far-right.” One problem with this claim is that actual white supremacists are a minuscule band of losers; another is that the same political and media establishment attaches the label “far right” to virtually everyone who dissents from the Leftist agenda. And a third difficulty with the mainstream view is that it ignores the increasing hostility to Israel and Jews in general on the Left, and the deeply ingrained anti-Semitism of one of the Left’s protected groups, Muslims – as a recent incident in New York City indicates.
The New York Post reported Thursday that “a teenager who threw an egg at a Brooklyn synagogue and chucked another one at a woman in Borough Park has been arrested on a number of hate crime charges, police said.” This took place in a neighborhood where many orthodox Jews live. The young activist’s name turns out to be Mohib Hoque, and he was “hit with three counts of hate crime assault, three counts of hate crime aggravated harassment, three counts of hate crime harassment and hate crime reckless endangerment.”
Hoque “allegedly chucked an egg at a 38-year-old woman who was walking on 38th Street near 14th Avenue at about 6 p.m,” and then “about 15 minutes later, Hoque allegedly threw another egg at a wall of nearby Congregation Bnei Torah Sanz.”

None of Hoque’s behavior is really surprising to those who are aware of what Islam’s core text, the Qur’an, says about Jews. Most people assume that any hostility any Muslim may have toward Jews is motivated by the alleged mistreatment of “Palestinians” by Israel. That mistreatment, however, is largely the work of “Palestinian” propaganda mills that fabricate Israeli atrocities on a large scale, and is also in some cases a result of the practice of Hamas and Islamic Jihad of basing operations in civilian areas so that they can use retaliatory actions as a basis for more victimhood propaganda.
While it may be that Hoque actually believes some of this propaganda and it moved him to express his hatred and contempt for the synagogue, the Muslim animus toward Jews is much more deeply rooted than most people realize. The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They 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); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); 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).
These aren’t just random verses tucked away in a dusty book that everyone has forgotten. The Qur’an is at the very center of Islamic culture and life, and has exerted its influence upon Islamic culture to such an extent that even many Muslims who don’t read it regularly and aren’t familiar with its contents share its hatred of Jews – in many Muslim-majority areas, that hatred is in the air.
The names of many of the perpetrators of anti-Semitic hate crimes in New York City are not realized. If they were, it is likely that there would be more names such as that of Mohib Hoque than New York authorities are willing to admit.

One of the reasons why Jews and Israel must be loved by all good people is that they are hated by islamo-NAZI-communist scum.

Here we go again! Another MAGA-hat-wearing white supremacist Trump supporter! (sarc)
Outside of a few media outlets, this is a nonexistent story. Imagine if a white guy did this to a Muslim, it would be everywhere!
Mohib Hoque, his entire family and his entire mosque must be deported and sent back whence they came, and stop importing more!!!

I also wonder if, given a hate crime was involved here, if a similar hate crime charge would have followed if this building were occupied by Christians at Bible study.
Synagogues will always be a target of hate crimes unless this country gets tough with the Islamic perpetrators. The same designation should apply to Islam-victimized Christian congregations.
This poster will give at least one reason why this will not happen.

A hired killer does it for money. A husband or wife could kill out of jealousy. Hate is just because what a person is or believes. A muslim attacking a Jew just for being a Jew is a hate crime.

While this is true, when a Muslim attacks a Christian congregation, hate crime charges seldom follow.

It’s not just open Muhammadists that hate Jews, it’s also Europeans that are influenced by Muhammadist trojan horses like Hitler who see a Jew in every person with beautiful dark-brown hair.

Nothing
new here. Spencer speaks the truest of words, and I have the deepest respect
for the man. Islam is anti-Semitism and anti all other belief systems
throughout this world. Scholars have stated that the writings of Islam that so
completely wrongfully accuse the Jews of all the wrongdoing outlined in this
article above, is based likely on the fact that Mohammed was rejected by the
Jews as a messiah or prophet, which triggered his anger and violence towards
them, which became the bottomless pit of Islam. Islam, a very irreverent belief
system, can never accept the truth that its creator was a violent man, not
really a man of God. As a result its followers continue to act out their
violence. After they are finished with the Jews, I suspect all others will
likewise face the horror intended by those believers.

A mutt like this, who assaults Jews, and apparently only Jews, is motivated by hatred and resentment of Jews.
Frankly, I’ve heard the cliche about “mind-reading,” and I find it to be facile and dishonest – one doesn’t have to be a “mind-reader” to infer the motivations for behavior.
Having said that, I do think you have a point about this penchant for charging “hate crimes” – the term itself is absurd.
After all, it’s not illegal to ‘hate” – or ought not to be, certainly.

LET’S GO BACK TO ISLAM’S ORIGINAL “PERFECT MAN” AND HOW HE RELATED TO THE JEWS! THE JEWISH TRIBE GAVE MUHAMMAD, LITTLE GIRL AISHA THINKING THEY COULD BUY PEACE FROM HIM. HE ENDED UP BUTCHERING THEM ALL, HER FAMILY, ANY WAY A FEW YEARS DOWN THE ROAD! TO HER CREDIT, SHE POISONED THE MAN’S LAMB & WHEN HE DIED, WAS SO CRAZY BY WHAT HE HAD SUBJECTED HER TO THAT SHE ACTUALLY GOT HIM TO SPARE HER LIFE BY TELLING HIM WHAT HE WANTED TO HEAR, THAT HE WAS A GREAT PROPHET BECAUSE BRAINWASHED, THAT WAS ALL SHE KNEW WHAT TO DO!
HISTORY COMES BACK TODAY EVEN THOUGH THE WORLD HAS CHANGED BECAUSE JIHADI ISLAM TEACHES WHAT IT TEACHES! THE ONLY FOLKS WHO SEEM TO GET IT OVER ON ISLAM, ARE THE MAOIST CHINESE WHO DO WHAT THEY DO-BRAINWASHING TOO!
WHAT CHANCE DO YOU TRENDY, NYC RELIGIOUS JEWS HAVE AGAINST THAT? I SAY IN THE IMMORTAL WORDS OF MEIR KAHANE, A TRUE ZIONIST MARTYR, TO EVERY NYC JEW! GO GET A 22, WALK IN GROUPS AND LET THEM KNOW THAT IF THEY COME TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO MESS WITH YOU, IT WON’T BE A PRAYER THEY GET BUT A PROJECTILE FROM AT LEAST A 22! LEARN WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PAST DON’T VOTE FOR DE BLASIO’S DEMOCRAT PARTY WHO TREAT YOU ALL LIKE TRASH!
