The Quran Dehumanizes Non-Muslims
and Says that They are Vile Animals
The Ayatollah Khomeini, who dedicated his entire life to studying Islam, said that non-Muslims rank somewhere between "feces" and the "sweat of a camel that has consumed impure food." Small wonder. The Quran dehumanizes non-Muslims, describing them as “animals” and beasts:
Those who disbelieve from among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures. (
98:6)
Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe. (
8:55)
Verse
7:176 compares unbelievers to "panting dogs" with regard to their idiocy and worthlessness.
Verse
7:179 says they are like "cattle" only worse.
Verse
9:28 says the unbelievers are unclean.
Verse
6:111 says they are ignorant.
Verse
23:55 says they are helpers of the devil.
Verse
5:60 even says that Allah transformed Jews of the past into apes and pigs. This is echoed by verses
7:166 and
2:65.
A hadith (Bukhari
54:524) says that Muhammad believed rats to be "mutated Jews" (also confirmed by Sahih Muslim
7135 and
7136).
Verses
46:29-35 even say that unbelieving men are worse than the demons who believe in Muhammad.
