Dr Pipes

I'm sure that you are aware that Lisan al-Arab is the first Arabic language dictionary and the ultimate authority when it comes to the Arabic language more so if the word made it, as in this case to al-Ahadith or the Qur'an And here is what Ibn Manzur tells us about the meaning of the word danas

دنس : الدنس في الثياب : لطخ الوسخ ونحوه حتى في الأخلاق ، والجمع أدناس . وقد دنس يدنس دنسا ، فهو دنس : توسخ . وتدنس : اتسخ ، ودنسه غيره تدنيسا . وفي حديث الإيمان : كأن ثيابه لم يمسها دنس ; الدنس : الوسخ ; ورجل دنس المروءة ، والاسم الدنس . ودنس الرجل عرضه إذا فعل ما يشينه .

Or الدنس : الوسخ or al-danas (means) al-Wisikh or the FILTHY

So the so called Sheikh was calling the Jews: Filthy

And here is the link to Lisan al-Arab

So we proved that the word danas in both CA and MCA means filthy/unclean

I just wonder why did the reporter from the Toronto Star not do her home work and check these dictionaries?
