Prof. Moshe Perlmann revealed the Koran/Hadith's vision of Jews in 1940

Andrew Bostom showed how the scholar Moshe Perlmann researched the Koran/Hadith's opinions on Jews as far back as 1940:
Professor Moshe Perlmann (1905-2001) was a meticulous scholar of Arabic and Islam, with great fluency in not only Arabic and Hebrew, but also Russian (having been born in Odessa), and German, as well as further written proficiency in Persian, Syriac, French and Italian.More at the link.
The focus of Perlmann’s work was the Medieval religious polemic, especially Islam’s anti-Jewish (here; here) and anti-Christian tracts (here; here). Unearthing and providing unique annotated translations of pathognomonic texts (catalogued here), with insightful commentary, Perlmann, as obituarist Herbert A. Dawson, observed, allowed the original writings, “to speak for themselves,” leaving readers “to draw whatever moral they can.”
Perlmann, uncompromising in his examination of Islamic religious fanaticism, even in mythically “tolerant” Muslim Spain, brought to light (1949) the “profuse” employment of the dehumanizing Koranic epithet (Koran 2:65/7:166) characterizing Jews as apes, for the incitement of the jihad annihilation of Granadan Jewry during 1066—a massive anti-Jewish pogrom, whose killing of some ~4000 Jews greatly exceeded in scale the much better known Crusader ravages of the Rhineland 30 years later at the outset of the first Crusade. Two decades later, Perlmann lamented how in 1966, the 900th anniversary of this “Granada debacle,” which he remonstrated was “the first major pogrom on European soil,” had “passed unnoticed.”

“The United States has poured billions of
dollars into Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts...
Much of the money went to buy conventional
military equipment for the constant struggle
with India, and thus did little to help
Pakistan to fight Al Qaeda or other jihadists.
Corrupt officials siphoned off much of the
aid, and the money did not significantly
improve Pakistan’s ability to fight terrorism.”

PERSONAL COMMENT:
Expecting Pakistan to fight against Islamic
terrorism is like expecting the KKK to fight
for the civil rights of African-Americans.
Expecting Pakistan to fight against Islamic
terrorism is like expecting neo-Nazis to fight
for the civil rights of Jews.
Expecting Pakistan to fight against Islamic
terrorism is totally irrational and illogical.

Barack Hussein] Obama signed off on a
$7.5 billion aid package for Pakistan.
The Islamic terror state repaid us by
harboring Osama bin Laden and aiding
Islamic terrorists killing American soldiers.

This year, President Trump made drastic cuts
to foreign aid to Pakistan after tweeting:
“The United States has foolishly given
Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars
in aid over the last 15 years, and they
have given us nothing but lies & deceit,
thinking of our leaders as fools.”

Daniel Byman said:
Islamic law is the law of the land in
Saudi Arabia, and religious officials
have tremendous sway over daily life.
Textbooks in Saudi schools denigrate
nonbelievers and the West and extol martyrdom.
For example, Time magazine reported that
“an 8th grade book states that Allah
cursed Jews and Christians and turned
some of them into apes and pigs.
Ninth-graders learn that Judgment Day will not come
“until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them.”
A chapter for a 10th-grade class warns
Muslims against befriending non-Muslims saying,
“It is compulsory for Muslims
to be loyal to each other and
consider the infidels their enemy.”

“Because their legitimacy is linked
to their image as champions of Islam,
Saudi leaders step gingerly in the
world of Islamist politics and have
been hesitant to oppose jihadist causes.”
