Why do I hear so much antisemitism among Muslims?
100307
Jews are hated by some not for their religion but mainly becasue of the politics going around in middle east and occupation, violance, bulldozing of houses, terrorism etc. etc. Actually prophet of Islam, had a very good relationship with jews who were not fighting with him to get rid of him. He used to visit Jews when invited or when they are sick etc.

I'm not quite sure I understand the question.  As a Jew I am not anti-Christianity. (not even sure what anti-Christianity would mean).  I believe differently than Christians, but I can respectfully agree to disagree. I also disagree with Muslim beliefs.  In fact I even disagree with some Jewish people's beliefs!  (such as reform, reconstructionists, etc.)  \nIn short I'm not anti anybody except evil people like Hitler, Bin Laden, and so on, (if you could even call them people)...

are we on a losing holy war kick today?\na very small percentage of Jews are against Zionism. In fact these Jews are Islamic sympathizers.  they basically beilieve they have a better shot a survival if they side with the muslims. Zionism is a term created by and used as propaganda by anti-semitics and muslims. It is used to degrade the jews who have taken back there land and are fighting to keep it. \nThis was the same term used in nazi germany to eradicate the jews. It is the term used by muslims who wanna eradicate the jews.  \nall I can say is that any jew who opposes so called zionism is a traitor to there people. it would be the same as if a ethnic man in america cited with the KKK.

Ken Livingstone tried peddling this garbage the other day, saying Britain was treating Muslims like Germany treated Jews in the 1930s. PLEASE! Did German Jews blow up buses? No. Have Jews in this country made an effort to integrate? Yes, and they have had an impact on this country far greater than their small number would suggest possible. Jews in Europe and Britain were not seeking to subvert western culture, while an increasing number of Muslims hope to see their religion rule us all. There was no reason to fear Jews, who owe their success to industry and energy. There is good reason to fear the increase of an aggressive, alien minority seeking to subvert our values and who don't respect civil laws.

oianz saying "i  have yet to meet a militant Muslim".   keeping your head in the sand (no pun intended) doesnt make it go away.  there are groups of muslims who want every non muslim dead.  they ingrain it in their heads from day one.  the evidence is there I just dont understand why you refuse to believe it.  Do any research of the history of the middle east.  Call me racist do whatever but when somebody says they are going to kill you you should take it seriously and take care of the problem before they get their wish.

It's ironic that so many anti-Semites consider themselves good Christians, isn't it. Thanks for a brilliant post.

muslims have always treated jews as second class citizens when jews were permitted to live in muslim countries (now days you simply find remnants, if any jews at all in muslim countries) It is a real true, and seldom mentioned FACT that 900,000 jews were kicked out from arab/muslim countries in 48 and there-after and made "refugess" who were then taken in by israel. It is unfortunate that the 1.2 billion muslims and 57 nations are simply to intollerant to let jews live in the land that belonged to jews since before islam ever exsisted. Then again islam is attacking christians, hindus, buddhists and even other muslims... so this is not unexpected...\nSince 99.9% of all jews belive in the state of israel thus making them "zionists", the word "zionist" becomes a convienent substitution for the word jew. But the reality remains the same.

I believe the people that answered above are actually antisemitic and don't want to believe what you are saying. \nThis is a sad world we live in when they are willing to suffer as long as they can turn a blind eye towards truth.

Mishk, your question is a good one.  Anti-semitism is as old as the Bible when Esau hated Jacob.  Esau and Jacob are sons of Isaac who was a son of Abraham.  Roman Empire comes from Esau and Jews come from Jacob.  \n\nUnlike the bad rap that Islam is getting today, hatred toward Jews is baseless.  People are mistrusting of Islam today only because of the constant terrorism that occurs, especially 9/11 here in America, whereas through the generations Jews have been scapegoated for no social or political reason other than being successful and contributing enormously to their societies.  Although Hitler did go after other minority groups (homosexuals, disabled, etc.), his Final Solution was disproportionately aimed at eradicating the Jewish Nation.  He was not the first nor will he be the last.  We just celebrated Purim which commemorates G-d's saving us from an evil person named Haman who lived (I forget what year) in the BC era. And today certain Arab groups in Israel are intent on driving the Jews into the Sea.  So as you see Anti-semitism does rear it's ugly head generation after generation.  Thank G-d our faith in G-d is strong and when we stay close to G-d and His Torah we continue to survive as a nation.  \n\nCheck out these sites to give you more insight into this and Judaism in general.  http://www.aish.com/ and http://www.chabad.org/\n\nFeel free to e-mail me if you wish to discuss this further.  I am a religious Jew and have grappled with the same issue as you.\n  \nYour question is excellent!\n\nBest of Luck.

I think that everytime someone criticises islam there's always a barrage of outrage and people go on to make comparisons as a way of avoiding being thought of as offensive or not politically correct or racist.  We know these things go on and most of the world keeps quiet or turns the other cheek. Or if they dont fully understand it they resort to name calling.  Everytime something heinous happens in the west or involving another religion people are soon up in arms and demanding action or change. Whenever it involves muslim countries we're more or less told to butt out and are inundated with past histories and so on and so forth.  Instead of the here and now.  Where are the protestors against crimes such as these, they're quick enough for everything else.

I am Muslim, a convert from christianity. I understand fully, I have had the same problem. My mom is a christian and very pro-Israel. She knows that I am Muslim but she forbids me to wear a Hijab or openly practice my religion. She had threatened to kick me out of the house other times for how I vote in elections so, I don't debate my religion with her. I agree with what the others said here that it is those radicals that give us a bad name. But I also think it is because of just pure ignorance of the truth mostly this ignorance is spread by the media.  It even extends to just being Arab or supporting the Arabs. I am originally American but I think of myself as an Arabist. I was in 10th grade english and the teacher announced to the whole class that I was with the Arabs. I didn't expect that but maybe it was because the teacher was Jewish but the whole class looked at me and I thought that I was going to be beaten up by how some of the kids were looking at me. This was shortly after 9/11 too. But above it all, I found happiness, I am happily married to an Egyptian Muslim, and will be making the Hajj in November, Inshallah. Those cartoons were overly offensive and shows why there is still the whole rift between East and West. Regardless of what those people say or do, keep your head up high and never allow them to get to you. Their fate like everything else is in Allah's hands.

Not only he killed jews but also many germans, russians and poles etc. etc. \n\nHe wasn't a friend of muslims but I see many muslims worship him because they hate jews.

I don't know...look what happening in Iraq because of terrorists, but do you hear any condimnation or outrage in other Islamic nations ?? NO, they just talk about US and their non-muslims foes.  many muslims disagree, but does disagreement makes differences if you are silent and does not loud your voice just on cartoon?   \n\nIraqis killed everyday, and they called such actions in many countries "RESISTANCE" and in prayer they called them Mujahideen (holy warriors)....  I would love to know if Israel is Islamic what would be the reaction against it?

I think that the way people live is a greater persuader than what they say. As long as non Muslims see fanatical people rioting in the streets as in Paris a few months ago,\nor over the cartoons a few weeks ago, it will be difficult to expect people to be open minded enough to listen to what you have to say. I mean come on, Iran's president denied the holocaust and Israel's right to even exist. I don't recall seeing them rioting in the streets!

As a friend of a Muslim family from Pakistan. Let me put some first hand observation on this topic. If it was told (truth)the Muslims do believe in Jesus, they believe He was a Prophet, not the Son of God Mu hammed to them was a Prophet also and Allah is there god. They feel that Christians and Jews are infidels, we are not worthy of knowing the truth. We are so wrong and there true purpose is to convert as many as they can to being a Muslim they call it the only true religion. They intend on ruling the world, they're a waring group, even among themselves. They fight like crazy amongst themselves. They feel superior to anybody other than other Muslims. They feel they are the right linage to Abraham through Ismael.  Abraham was a Jew. They hate Jews, go figure. I am not sure they really know what they believe. It would take a really good shrink to break down that confusion.  As we know they function on hate and destruction.

First of all, it's not all people and not all muslims and not all islam...\n\nThis is what everyone sees...\n\nMuslim and Palestinians people are the only ones who actually strap bombs on their bodies and blow up innocent people.  No other nationality or religion does that.

Jews are what came before Christians and Muslims.  They're a large and very well established "race". They have also been openly persecuted throughout written history and still today are threatened all around.  That's probably why there's so much attention.  As far as Muslims go, I don't think you would expect that much attention until the terrorism brought it to attention.  Then there were countless TV commercials telling us that Muslims were not bad people and that these acts were committed by a handful of radical maniacs, thereby bringing Muslims to our attention.  I think because of that we are learning more but there was just no reason to earlier.  We also tend to ignore the other major religiions of the world because they aren't right there in our face.  How much does the average Chinese adult know about Christianity?  I really wouldn't know.\n\nAnyway, Happy Holidays!
