The depiction of Jews as "descendants of apes and pigs" is further reprised by Sheikh Bakr Abd Al-Razzaq Al-Samarai in a November 8, 2002 sermon at the Umm Al-Ma'arek Mosque in Baghdad. Finally, in a sermon given at the Abd-al-Qadir al-Gaylani Mosque on December 13, 2002, Sheikh Bakr Abd Al-Razzaq Al-Samarai referred to, "A stinking, rotten defiled Jew, whose mother is an ape and whose father is a pig…"
