Egyptian Cleric Safwat Higazi: The "Foreign Riffraff" Who Live in Palestine Are Not Really Jews; They Have Brought Corruption and Evil upon the World Ever Since Trying to Kill Christ

Safwat Higazi: This is because I do not acknowledge the Jewishness of the people who came from Germany, Albania, Poland, and France, to live in the land of Palestine. I do not recognize them as Jews. They are not the Jews who followed Allah's prophet Moses. They are not the Jews to whom Allah's prophet Jesus was sent. They are not even the Jews who distorted the Torah in the 7th century. They are not the people we refer to as Jews.

Interviewer: So were did these Jews living in Palestine come from?

Safwat Higazi: Those who profess to be Jews are foreign riffraff, as I told you. They originated from the Khazar Jews who lived in Romania or Poland, after having been banished from Spain during the Inquisition. They were Jews by religion, and they were banished, and they lived in these countries as Khazar Jews… They are not related in any way to the Israelites – not in their race, their dynasty, or their religion.
