Arutz Sheba reports:
An Algerian cleric recently sought to explain the claims by some Muslims that Jews are descendants of apes and pigs.
The cleric, Chemseddine el Djazairi, spoke on Ennahar TV on February 8. The clip was translated and uploaded to YouTube by the Middle East Media.
According to el Djazairi, contemporary Jews are not descendants of apes and pigs. However, he went on to say, some Jews may have been transformed to these animals in the past - but this line has been severed.
"Contemporary Jews are of the seed of Adam, not of the apes and pigs, because the line of those transformed into apes and pigs was severed," he explained. "A Jew who rebelled so much against God that he was thus transformed – how is this the fault of his children or grandchildren?

None exist anymore.
