(Jerusalem Post) An imam in Colorado taught children this week that the Jews are an untrustworthy people who “lie and break their contract.” The imam, believed to be Umar Mitchell, said that the ancestors of today’s Jews killed the prophets God sent to them and “even tried to kill Jesus.” He said that not all Jews are like this, but that most are, except for “a couple of them.” One reason, he said, that “we keep losing in Palestine” is that “we keep allowing [the Jews] to trick us.” The imam said it isn’t hate speech for the children to hear this, but rather told them “it’s important for you guys to know about this.”
“We have to know and understand who these people are,” he told the children, “so that we stop falling victim to them time and time again.”
