Subject: Pokemon and the Jews?

This is the last paragraph of an article about an Islamic scholar who is
getting death threats from fundamentalists:

Mr. Abu Zant, a former member of the Jordanian parliament, was jailed in
1999 for denouncing his government's decision to close the Amman office of
the militant Islamic movement Hamas. Last year he issued a religious threat
against a Jordanian poet and he has joined other clerics in denouncing
Pokemon as a Jewish plot against Islam.

--does anyone know anything about this? I am just curious about the details
of Zant's & other clerics arguments about Pokemon & Jewish plots? I have
heard more about the denouncement of the Poet. Its more the argument against
pop culture anime that I am interested in.
