An Egyptian preacher has accused Jews of financing internet pornography as a way to corrupt Muslims.

In a sermon broadcast by Egypt’s Tahrir TV on November 23, Egyptian cleric Abd Al-Fattah Abu Zayd told his followers that “they replaced the armed forces with soft power.”

He said that the soft power of “urges, sex and women” has been turned into “4.2 million pornography websites to corrupt the nation of Mohammed.”

The preacher referred to the antisemitic and fabricated document, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which, according to the cleric, said: “alcohol and prostitutes would be capable of destroying Muslim youths more than a thousand cannons.”

He said: “They realised that armed force would be futile against those Muslims, because they love death as much as we love life.”
