Two Muslim men attack a man, in France, because he is a Jew

Koran says: The strongest in enmity towards Muslim men are jews......

Yet again, ignorants believe that Muslim's dislike and hatred towards Jews and Israel primarily arises because of unresolved issue of Palestine. Islamic antisemitism existed prior to the creation of state of Israel; to be more precise, it goes back to the time of Prophet Mohammad itself thus, we see such as this kind of teachings in Koran and Hadith:

O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust. (Yusuf Ali, 5:51)

Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (Yusuf Ali, 5:82)

Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him." (Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177)

Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight wi the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.' "(Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176)

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, 'O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!' "(Volume 4, Book 56, Number 791)

There is lot more to all this antisemitism in Koran, Islam and present day Islamic world. Antisemitic speeches are quite common in sermons and speeches. So, Muslims take all this as a kind of duty which gets them closer to Allah.

France: Man assaulted over 'Jewish appearance'

A 21-year-old man from the city of Villeurbanne in southern France was severely injured last week after being assaulted by two men of North African origin, the European Jewish Press reported Monday.

According to the report, Thursday's violent incident occurred as the man headed home from a Torah class at the local synagogue.

The two aggressors allegedly approached the man and asked for his name. After hearing his response, the two told him: "You don’t look to be named Antoine, you look Jewish, you are a Jew."

When the victim confirmed he was Jewish the assailants shot him with a pellet gun and hit him in the head and body. He was rushed to hospital suffering from severe injuries to his abdomen, head and arm.

Local police have launched an investigation. A police source told a French news agency that "the tone heightened between the three youths. There was an exchange of blows and two youths of North African origin took out a gun ball and possibly a truncheon."

Marcel Amsellem, a leader in the CRIF, the umbrella group of French Jewish organizations condemned the attack. "There is no doubt about the anti-Semitic character of this attack. It’s extremely serious because they used physical violence with a weapon," he said.

The mayor of Villeurbanne also strongly condemned what he called "an intolerable act."
