Bookshop sells Saudi-sponsored anti-Semitism
Sara Azmeh Rasmussen says to Vårt Land (above) that she recently purchased a vehemently anti-Semitic book at a bookstore in Oslo. The bookstore in question is located in the same building as a mosque and the Islamic Council. The book is allegedly subsidized by Saudi-Arabia, and goes for NOK 55.
She is startled over the book which is in Arabic and, according to what Azmeh Rasmussen has learned, is subsidized by Saudi-Arabia. Azmeh Rasmussen translates the title of the book to: Jewish transgressor – and their country Israel. According to Azmeh Rasmussen the contents are as bad as Hitler’s anti-Semitism.
The ancient lies about a Jewish world-conspiracy are spread. By opening the book virtually at random Azmeh Rasmussen found a paragraph where the Jews are mocked as unreliable, traitorous, greedy and slippery and that Jew-hatred has its explanation in these Jewish attributes. The like is set side by side with verses from the Koran and religious texts, written by a learned man.
The building with the mosque and the bookstore also houses Islamic Council. On Dagsnytt 18 on Monday evening General Secretary Shoaib Sultan denied having any responsibility for the bookstore and the mosque. But Sara Azmeh Rasmussen does not believe that the Islamic Council can close its eyes to the litterature which everyone passes on their way to the council offices. The book is still on sale, for NOK 55.
Ms.Rasmussen, who on May 1st created an uproar when she celebrated her freedom by burning her hijab, says her native country of Syria is deeply anti-Semitic and that she is ashamed to admit that she herself was steeped in anti-Semitism. Now she says that Norwegian muslims must stand together in the fight against anti-Semitism.
It is important to remember that although overt muslim anti-Semitism is easy to identify and distance oneself from, it is not the only brand of anti-Semitism on the market. There are many ethnic Norwegians who have cultivated more subtle forms of anti-Semitism for a long, long time.
