Children’s TV from Hizbullah

Courtesy of MEMRI TV, a nice little clay-mation kiddies film shown on Hizbullah’s Al-Manar channel: the Jews ignore the Lord’s commandment about resting on the Sabbath, get rich selling the fish they’ve caught, and sneer at the pious Arabs – but they get their come-uppance when they’re turned into apes and pigs, and then cast out into the sea.

Habakkuk: “Step right up. It is me, Habakkuk. I am, as you can see, safe and sound. The only illness that has struck me is wealth. Come here. How nice it is to work on the Sabbath. How nice it is to work on the Sabbath. I am working on the Sabbath, and I challenge the will of the heavens.”

While jumping up and down Pinhas, Shamloun, Habakkuk as well as others in the marketplace turn into apes. The boy and his grandfather [our heroes] open a door in the wall and step to the other side with some other villagers.

Grandfather:”Look, my child, the young among them have turned into apes, and their elderly have become pigs.”

Boy:”They should know that the Lord speaks the truth and punishes severely.”

Grandfather:”Praise the Lord, who has saved us. They remained in this condition for three days, and then were annihilated. The wind has cast them into the sea.”

    You missed the good one at the same site: “Syrian professor uses the Koran to calculate the speed of light.”

    You’re quite right. Here’s how it’s done (http://memritv.org/Transcript.asp?P1=955):
    “Would you believe, Mr. ‘Alaa, that the Koran includes Einstein’s theory? This was presented at the fifth convention on the wondrous nature of the Koran, held in Moscow. I am referring to the verse: “A day in the Lord’s reckoning is like a thousand years in your reckoning.”
    The Arabs use lunar calendar. Now, it takes the moon one month to revolve around the Earth. If we want calculate how many kilometers the moon travels in each cycle, it is very easy. We take the center of the Earth and the center of the moon, and connect them with a straight line. The length of this line is half the Earth’s diameter, plus half the moon’s diameter, plus the distance between them. Anyone of our students could calculate this. One must multiply the two diameters by 3.14 – pi, you get a circumference, you multiply it by 12 for each month of the year, then you multiply it by 1,000 for 1,000 years…
    Any high school student with a calculator could calculate the distance the moon travels around the Earth in 1,000 years.
    The verse says: “A day in the Lord’s reckoning is like a thousand years in your reckoning.” Hence, the distance the moon travels around the Earth in 1,000 years is the same distance light travels in one day. If we divide this figure by the number of seconds in one day, we will get the precise speed of light 299,000,752.”
    And they say the Arab world doesn’t produce great scientists….
