“like most people in New Jersey and across this country, I was shocked and angered by the remarks of Mr. Khalid Abdul Mohammad on November 29, 1993, at Kean College, in New Jersey. It seems Mr. Mohammad digressed into an ugly, hateful set of stereotypes and racist remarks which painfully demonstrate that anti-Semitism is all too alive in New Jersey and in our Nation. Anti-Semitism knows no boundaries, and vitriolic remarks such as his should be examined critically and honestly. The remedy for verbal assaults such as Mr. Mohammad's can only be open, responsible dialog. Only when the abhorrent statements can be criticized, renounced, and challenged will they wither in the sunlight of debate. The Senate will take a vote, and it will condemn the remarks of Mr. Khalid Abdul Mohammad at Kean College on November 29, 1993. The Senate should condemn these remarks. Mr. President, to give you a flavor of what he said, let me give you just one or two quotes. One, he said: The so-called Jew, and I must say so-called Jew because you're not the true Jew. You are a Johnny-come-lately Jew, who just crawled out of the caves and hills of Europe just a little over 4,000 years ago. You're not from the original people. You are a European strain of people who crawled around on your all fours in the caves and hills of Europe eating Juniper roots and eating each other.”
