In a May 15, 2014 interview on Iqraa TV, Saudi scholar and former director of the channel Nabil Hammad described an alleged Jewish-Zionist conspiracy to destroy the moral values of humanity. Hammad claimed that characters on children's shows, like Mickey Mouse and Sesame Street, were invented to advance these schemes. Following are excerpts from the interview:
Nabil Hammad: What films have we produced in the Arab world? As we all know, people like watching movies.

What animated films have we produced? A normal child, who has been watching TV from the age of two, has been assaulted by all kinds of films. How did the "sagging" pants fashion ever emerge? The men wear their pants so low that their private parts are exposed. This fashion originated on the Cartoon Network channel. The Cartoon Network aired a film showing the longest spit. What kind of education do we provide? It is not only the future generations of the Islamic world that are destroyed – the moral values of humanity are destroyed.
When I worked as an instructor for the Saudi Airlines, I had a colleague named Duncan. He told me that he does not allow his children to watch Sesame Street. I found it strange. The show is very popular here. He said that Sesame Street peddles moral values that are inappropriate to civilized society.
Take, for example, the character of Oscar the Grouch, who lives in a garbage can. Duncan said that he is a loathsome character, and he wouldn't want him to serve as a role model for his children. Another example is the character of Cookie Monster. He eats like a slob. Even people raised on British culture oppose what is shown in the media, which destroys people's moral values.

I lived in the U.S. for eight years. To this very day, I have Jewish and Christian friends there. I am not talking only about Muslims. There are moral people living there who are aware of this conspiracy to destroy humanity and its moral values. The Zionists are behind this conspiracy. There are two kinds of Zionists: Protestant Zionists and Jewish Zionists.

All the global film companies – note that I say "all" not "most"… All the global film companies are owned by Jews: the Fox company, Universal Studios, the well-known Paramount, Columbia, with the lady holding the torch, Warner Brothers, a major producer of children's films, Disney… Walt Disney himself wasn't Jewish, but the Walt Disney TV productions company is owned by well-known Zionist Jews. The Paramount company… All the animated films…
Why did they produce Mickey Mouse? Why did they focus on a mouse? There is a plan to destroy human thought and all of humanity. When Sheik Muhamamd Al-Munajid said this, he was subjected to a never-ending campaign. He asked why we make Jerry the Mouse into a hero, and Tom the Cat into a criminal? It's human nature to consider cats as clean domestic animals, and mice as animals that should be killed. When Sheik Munajid said that, he was oddly accused of fanaticism. Thus, Mickey Mouse, the rodent, became a hero and a superstar. The destruction of human morality is an old Zionist-Jewish scheme.

All of know what happed to Christianity. Along came a guy called Paul, a Jewish scheme working for the Romans, and claimed that he had become the Messiah. Thus, he was transformed into Saint Paul, and destroyed Christianity. Some Jews converted to Islam, and started sects in order to destroy Islam.

The Zionist-Jewish den of iniquity began operating in the early 18th century. Who was Durkheim? Westerners view him as the father of modern sociology – although Ibn Khaldun wrote more accurately about sociology. Durkheim was a Jewish Zionist, who sowed destruction with the information he provided. Who was Darwin, who said that human beings descended from apes? He was one of the founders of Western thought. Who was Freud? He was the founder of modern psychology, and he emphasized sex as the primal impulse in human beings. Who was Nietzsche? He spoke of a blonde, blue-eyed Western "superman." Who was Sartre? They were all Zionist Jews, except for Nietzsche, who was a Christian Zionist.
