Though they share similar values, guidelines, and principles, Islam and Judaism have a long, complicated relationship that has led to tension recorded within the Quran and other Islamic texts. As a result of what’s been written, along with reactions to the longstanding Israel-Palestinian conflict, some have called Islam an inherently antisemitic religion. Those who agree point out that certain Quranic verses, when taken literally or interpreted negatively, foster antisemitic sentiments within education systems and in the culture, which are used to justify negative stereotypes or hostility towards Jews. Yet other religious scholars argue that this is not the case. They say that many Quranic references to Jews are typically misinterpreted and must be understood in their historical and textual contexts. They also emphasize that there have been historical periods and modern examples where Muslim-majority countries have hosted thriving Jewish communities and reflect a more accurate representation of Islamic attitudes towards Jews.
With this context, we debate the question: Is Islam Antisemitic?
Arguing Yes: Tim Dieppe, Head of Policy at Christian Concern
Arguing No: Reza Aslan, Iranian-American Religion Scholar; Bestselling Author of "Zealot"

Yes Christianity has been brow beaten into modernity. That said, if any random person wants to live their life more like Jesus, we have no reason to worry about them. On the other hand, if they wanted to live like a warlord who had many wives, including some underage, we have a problem.

It's laughable to say religion is what any individual believer makes of it. Such a disingenuous point to make by a religious scholar. If that was the case it would be impossible to study orthodox theology of any religion. It's also disingenuous to say no religion in the world affirms the equality of other religions, Buddhism is a prime example. The goal of Buddhism is the attainment of enlightenment and Buddhist texts clearly give examples of the possibility of individuals attaining enlightenment without the teachings of the Buddha. Reza is either purposefully making disingenuous claims or is a terrible scholar...

@ClintonAllenAnderson 17 дней назад

@mountainair 16 дней назад

#1 is kind of sort of true, but if you're going to make that claim (Reza) you have to also concede that to the extent an individual who calls themselves a follower of a given religion ignores or goes against the doctrines or rules of that religion is the exact extent to which they are not a member of that religion. At a certain point if a Buddhist is on a murderous rampage, drinks alcohol daily and doesn't meditate, doesn't even read the sutras, what do we make of their proclaiment that they are Buddhist?

@Petruhafication. Ironically that your bring up the comparison with Buddhism as Muhammad had horrible things to say about Buddhism, Hinduism and even Zoroastrians very similar to what he’d said of Jews and Christians calling for the murders of all others. In fact he’d only extended some tolerance to Christians and Jews because they were Abrahamic religions and therefore keepers of the holy testaments. Each could only be tolerated if they paid extra taxes when living in Muslim countries higher than the tax rates over that of Muslim citizens upon pain of death if they objected or simply couldn’t afford to pay when living under Sharia Law. I can’t think of a more intolerant religion. Who else hates the Buddhist or for that matter who hates the Zoroastrians? It’s so unreasonable.

Anyway even if his claim is valid (it’s not) we are left with with a pretty simple test of are most believers of a said religion are antisemitic and if so does this antisemitism is being rationalized with religious texts. The answer is as clear as day. And no Christianity is not antisemitic, it might has been but it was reformed. Sunni Islam which is majority of Muslims was never(!) reformed or more so the reform to Shia Islam (Iran/IRGC form of Islam) made it even more extreme and antisemitic

at 28.38, reza being ignorant or dishonest. the holocause had nothing to do with Christianity. hitler was obsessed with arian racial purity and adopted US eugenics concepts to begin exterminating people who were considered inferior. this then later included the jews. hitler also begin a new state religion that excluded old testament and relabelled Jesus as an Aryan. hitler also hated the Catholics next in line after the jews. it didn't matter if a jew was Christian, they were marked for concentration camps if they had a certain % of parentage who were jews. One story i read recently is that of Edith Stein, who was jewish and became an serious academic and then became a nun. She was sent to gas chambers in spite of efforts by the church to foil the Nazis. the point is, this is real genocide - didn't matter she became christian.

@AniBAretz 16 дней назад

What's more, Hitler did not originally intend to kill all the Jews but to enslave and work them to death gradually. Hajj Amin Al Husseini, uncle of Arafat and Grand Mufti of Jerusalem under the Ottoman Empire, met wtih Hitler to convince him to annihilate the entire Jewish people -- as per the Koran, of course -- but also because Husseini was afraid that any escaping Jews would head home to Jerusalem and become Husseini's problem to deal with. Zionism had already become a rallying cry before Hitler, around 1890, and Husseini must have been aware.

@AniBAretz 16 дней назад

Kudos and thanks to Tim Dieppe for his (mathematically) objective, logical, and clear evidence of Islam's antisemitism. There was no word for antisemitism when the Koran was written, but the text reiterates permanent antisemitism into the forever future far more times than it hints at some sort of salvation for Jews who convert to Islam. If someone says, "I hate you" 99 times and "I love you" only once, the two statements are not in balance. To suggest, as Rezs Aslan does, that they are, that they cancel each other out and leave everything to individual interpretation, is a perfect example of false equivalence. Indeed, Reza Aslan ignores the Koran in order to blame individuals of antisemitism, in order to protect and defend Islam, yet, by doing so, he negates any value that the Koran and Islam have, because, by R.A.'s own explanation, everything is up to individual interpretation. R.A.'s comparisons with Christianity amount to the immature defense, "I know you are, but what am i?" HIs vague fluidity of reasoning amounts to the manipulations of propaganda, spoken in such a way as to gaslight the individual listener. So, again, I say kudos and thanks to Tim Dieppe for being the adult and the honest person in the room.

@kratosedits1 15 дней назад

Maimonides, a prominent Jewish philosopher and scholar, did not necessarily depict the plight of Jews under Muslims in a singular or universally negative light. While historical circumstances varied, Maimonides himself lived during the Islamic Golden Age in the 12th century, primarily in Muslim-ruled Spain and Egypt, where Jews often experienced periods of relative tolerance and intellectual flourishing under Islamic rule. Maimonides' writings, such as his legal and philosophical works, reflect his engagement with Islamic culture and philosophy, and he often expressed gratitude for the opportunities and protections afforded to Jews in Muslim societies compared to their counterparts in Christian Europe at the time. Antisemitism has always been a European malady; a crime of the West. Get your facts straight.

Maybe someday I'll put all my comments on RU-vid in the book, not sure it'll be a bestseller, but anyway... Jesus historical, divine, or fictional was born to a Jewish mother and was a Jew. He was born in the city of Beit Lechem in the heartland of Judea and grew up -- or was born like some historians claim-- in Nazareth, his mother's hometown, which is located in Galilee, a region of Roman province Judea. Where was Palestine? Did some of the Evangelists mention Palestine in the Gospel? Did Josephus write his book about the war of Palestinian Jews? Did Pilishtim aka Philistines still exist at that time? Samaritans? Yes, Philistines? No. Hadrian, the Roman emperor renamed Judea into Palestina and Jerusalem into Aelia Capitolina after he defeated the Jews more than 100 years later after the death of Jesus. Was Jesus illiterate like the prophet Muhammad? How could he read the Torah if he was illiterate? According to the Gospel Jesus wasn't a kohen, but whether he was a rabbi, a prophet, or the son of God he was highly likely literate.

@yuribliman8999. For any Jews to have believed that Jesus was the Messiah he’d have had to havre been a descendant of David therefore he would have been a Levite. The. Kohans weren’t the only literate Jews. In fact the historic strength of the Jewish people over the millennia has always been that they’ve taught more of their people to read than most other populations. This was also true historically of the Persians as well.

@@LlyleHunter King David was from the tribe of Judah according to Jewish tradition. According to the Christian tradition, Jesus was a descendant of David and was born in the same city as King David. So he wasn't a kohan. Kohanim are from the tribe of Levi direct descendants of Aharon. According to the Jewish tradition Elijah the Prophet whose return to the earth will precede the coming of the Messiah was a Levite. There is a hypothesis that Muslims were so afraid of the fulfillment of this prophecy that they set a cemetery right in front of the Golden Gates. A priest who had contact with a dead body was considered unpure according to Jewish law. And to purify himself one must use the ashes of the red heifers. All Christians believe Jesus was the Messiah who according to the Jewish tradition must be from the house of David. Even the story about the crown of thorns is kind of interconnection between the Christian narrative and the Jewish narrative about Messiah the King of Jews.

Aslan Reza begins by excusing written religious texts. All texts are somewhat a product of their time. The Hebrew Bible is from thousands of years ago, the Christian New Testament is from a few thousand years ago, but the uran is from only about one thousand years ago, and thus is closer to what current Muslim believers believe. More important: people tend to grab negative views of The Other despite a few non-negative views in the same text. What I hear in this debate about Islam is that Islam believes those who come to "the end of time" as believers in the Muslim view of God (Allah) will be accepted at "the end of time." Our concern for humans is for the here and now.

Talking about Islam as a man made idea that isn't supposed to be taken literally is blasphemy (death). Going against the scholars interpretation is disobedience( lashings, amputation). Islam is clear its followers are slaves to its teachings,it's the law and way of life that dictates everything and is against forms of individuality. A Muslims under Shira law can't openly have an opinion on their interpretation,they can't choose not to follow or leave Islam. To say Islam doesn't breed violence and hatred of Jews is crap. The Quran goes on and on about non believers, between calling them losers,animals, accusations of corruption, punishment, subjugation, forever hellfire... All religions have a dark history with disturbing text but Islam is the only one that's never evolved to a point of allowing basic human rights.

Religious texts are a product of the time when they are written. The Hebrew Bible was written thousands of years ago, the Christian New Testament about a thousand years ago, but the Quran is only hundreds of years ago and is more fully believed as written. People also tend to believe negative views more fully than occasional more positive views that may occur within a text. As some other comments here observe: tell these "love everyone" verses to the current Muslims. Most of the more ositive comments in Islam refer to "the end of time." We are concerned with how people are viewed and treated hre and now.

So disingenuous. Muhammad at first thought that the Jews would adopt his new religion. This is why he started with prayer towards Jerusalem, in an attempt to attract new converts. When the Jews rejected his teachings saying he’s just copy and pasting their own religion, he turned violent against them. From there on it was absolutely force conversion, and Jerusalem was no longer a holy place - only Mecca and Madina were. Muhammad didn’t “marry” Jewish women or “encourage” his followers to intermarry with Jews. He took Jewish women from Jewish tribes he conquered and turned them into you know what but I won’t say it so YT doesn’t delete this post. Other wives of Jewish descent were converts to Islam.
