Jews & Christians are referred as ‘’ people of the holy book ‘’ in Quran.
about calling Christians & Jews as pigs , monkeys----Are u intentionally spreading a lie here ?
Quran described a past incident . During the time of Prophet Moses (p), a group of Jews violated the coommand of Sabath .
God punished them , make them pig & apes & they all died after few days.
No where holy Quran says ALL Jews & ALL Christians are pigs or dogs.

Question
Your book describes the Jews as children of pigs and apes, yet you claim you are tolerant, merciful, and peacful to the world.
How come you say you are tolerant to someone if you believe he is a descendant of apes and pigs?
ans. Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, president of the Fiqh Council of North America
Dear Jack, you have not received correct information about the Qur’an.
I recommend that you read it yourself.
In the Qur’an, Allah has mentioned in three places stories of people who were turned into apes and pigs. Almighty Allah says:
And ye know of those of you who broke the Sabbath, how We said unto them: Be ye apes, despised and hated!
(Al-Baqarah 2:65).
He also says: [Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allah?
Worse (is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom His wrath hath fallen!
Worse is he of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine, and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the plain road]
(Al-Ma’idah 5:60).
In another chapter, He says:
So when they took pride in that which they had been forbidden, We said unto them: Be ye apes despised and loathed!
(Al-A`raf 7:166).
In these verses, you will see that that a group of people refused to follow Allah’s commands that were given to Moses.
They had turned against Allah’s laws and were punished by being turned into apes and pigs.
