3½-Year-old Basmallah: “Jews Are Apes and Pigs”
How can we expect this indoctrinated child to react with Jews when she grows up?
Below are excerpts from an interview with three-and-a-half year old Egyptian girl, Basmallah, broadcast on Iqra TV on May 7, 2002.
Interviewer Duaa Amer: Our report today will be a little different, because our guest will be a girl, a Muslim girl, but a true Muslim. Allah willing, may God give us the strength to give our children the same education, so that the next generation of children will all be true Muslims who know that they are Muslims and know who their enemies are. This child will now introduce herself. She’s the daughter of a sister in Islam, Hueida, and of the artist Wagdi Al-Arabi. Her name is Basmallah, and I will ask her too.
Peace be upon you.
Basmallah: Allah’s mercy and blessings upon you.
Amer: What’s your name?
Basmallah: Basmallah.
Amer: How old are you, Basmallah?
Basmallah: Three and a half.
Amer: Are you a Muslim?
Basmallah: Yes.
Amer: Basmallah, do you know the Jews?
Basmallah: Yes
Amer: Do you like them?
Basmallah: No.
Amer: Why don’t you like them?
Basmallah: Because.
Amer: Because they are what?
Basmallah: They are apes and pigs.
Amer: Because they are apes and pigs. Who said that about them?
Basmallah: Our God.
Amer: Where did he say that about them?
Basmallah: In the Koran.
. . . . . . . .
Amer: What did the Jewish woman do to our Prophet Muhammad?
Basmallah: The Jewish woman?
Amer: Yes.
Basmallah: She invited the Prophet and his companions. When he asked her if she had put poison in his food, she said “yes”. He asked her: “Why did you do this?” She replied: “If you are a liar, you will die, and Allah will not protect you. But if you speak the truth, Allah will protect you.”
Amer: And God protected the Prophet, of course.
Basmallah: And he said to his companions: “I will kill this woman.”
Amer: Of course. She put poison in his food, this Jewess.
