A Swedish imam has been fined the sum of $305 by a court in the town of Helsingborg for engaging in a public antisemitic rant in which he depicted Jews as the descendants of \u201capes and pigs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

39-year-old Samir El Rifai received the conviction following a trial over his antisemitic incitement during an anti-Israel demonstration in Gustav Adolfs Square in Helsingborg in July 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking in Arabic in remarks that were filmed, El Rifai clamed that \u201cthe Jews are the offspring of the apes and pigs\u201d \u2014 a common antisemitic trope among Islamists.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no prophet against whom those who are the progeny of apes and pigs have not made evil plans against,\u201d he told the rally, organized in support of Palestinian rioters at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. \u201cThey did it to all prophets and to all nations, this has also affected our prophet [Muhammad], peace be upon him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

El Rifai\u2019s subsequent attempt at an explanation \u2014 that he had been speaking about the State of Israel and not Jews in general \u2014  was rejected by the court.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe think it is clear from the speech in its entirety that the statement referred to Jews with a view to their religion, not a government or military power,\u201d the court\u2019s chairman, Ylva Norling J\u00f6nsson, told Swedish news outlet Expressen<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In May this year, a woman who belongs to the tiny Jewish community in Helsingborg was knifed<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in a stabbing attack by an assailant who was later arrested by police across the border in Denmark.<\/span><\/p>\n
