Why Do So Many Muslims Hate Jews?
Monday
The following are excerpts from an article by Nonie Darwish, a former Muslim from Egypt and author of Now They Call Me Infidel and Cruel and Usual Punishment.
Recently, a Pakistani religious leader, Pirzada Muhammad Raza Saqib Mustafai, said: "When the Jews are wiped out ... the sun of peace [will] begin to rise on the entire world." The same preaching is routinely done not only by clerics, but by politicians — in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and elsewhere. This is not just Ahmadinejad; it is at the heart of Islamic theology that world peace will be established only when all the Jews are wiped from the earth. But few people in Western media are alarmed by this kind of rhetoric or care to expose this dreadful dark side of Islam's obsession with Jew-hatred.
I do not believe that one has to be an authority on human behavior or group thinking to find out the obvious pathology in Islamic Jew-hatred. It is time for all of us to uncover and expose this atrocity against the Jewish people. We owe that to humanity and the truth.
No true Muslim can see that such hatred is unbecoming and unholy for a world religion to focus on, and that the credibility of Islam is tarnished by such hatred. No Muslim is allowed to go far enough to self-analyze or ask why such hatred exists. Muslims defend Jew-hatred by claiming that Jews betrayed Muhammad and thus deserve this kind of treatment. Even when I was a Muslim, I believed that the one-sided story against Jews by Islam was enough to justify all the killing, terror, lies, and propaganda by Islamic leaders against Jews. To the average Muslim, routinely cursing Jews in mosques feels normal and even holy!
In the eyes of Mohammed and Muslims, the mere existence of the Jewish people, let alone an entire Jewish state, delegitimizes Islam and makes Mohammed look more like a mass murderer than like a prophet. For Muslims to make peace with Jews and acknowledge that Jews are humans who deserve the same rights as everyone else would have a devastating effect on how Muslims view their religion, their history, and the actions of their prophet.
Islam must justify the genocide that Mohammad waged against the Jews. Mohammad and Muslims had two choices: either the Jews are evil sub-humans, apes, pigs, and enemies of Allah, a common description of Jews still heard regularly in Middle Eastern mosques today, or Mohammad was a genocidal warlord not fit to be a prophet of God — a choice that would mean the end of Islam.

One of the reasons that so many Muslims hate the Jewish people has very much to do with the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is do do with the history of Muhammad. For there was a time period that Muhammad lived among the Jewish people and he liked them at first. Later when the Jews would not accept his claim of being a prophet Muhammad then started ad is dislike for them that then turns into bitterness and even hate for them>So in his bitterness and hate he spoke many terrible and awful things about the Jews. The very negative this is said about the Jewish people were written down on different materials the in the passing of time these words of his bitterness and hate went into the composition of the Koran. Thus the Koran teaches that Jews are "apes and swine." [2:65;7:166:5:60.] Therefore from reads and words of the Koran many Muslim through time as well as today have a strong dislike and even hate for the Jewish people.so this is one answer to the question "Why Do So Many Muslims hate Jews ?" Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that Muhammad might had been an actual prophet, but the important thing to understand that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead Muhammad was a lying deceptive false prophet sent by Satan to lead many people astray. Jesus had,in fact, predicted and warned about the coming of such men a Muhammad. For Jesus taught "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Matthew 7:15. The Bible further warns that 'many false prophets are gone out into the world." First John 4:1. [K.J.V.] Moreover a father informative Christian internet site I had found is answering-islam.org
Someone emailed me this comment:
Please keep a sharp eye on having correct translations, as it is vitally important.
To translate Allah as God is completely incorrect.
Muslims deliberately translate Allah as God to deceive converts and non-Muslims.
Please note that the English translation of Allah is always and only 'the god'.
God is always Ilah, Ar Rahman, in the Qur'an, it's commentaries and Islamic law.
Sharia law is clear: The shahada, creed for converting to Islam:
First the denial - There is no god or God - then the affirmation - except Allah.
'There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.'
This explains the great change in people who convert to or from Islam.
Ilah, God, is Ar-Rahman in the Mecca verses, when Muhammad was praying facing Jerusalem.
God's last hurrah occurs in Medina. In chapter 2 he ordered the Muslims to pray to Allah facing Mecca.
From then on, he turned against the People of the Book, and ordered the Muslims to kill every Jew.
This is why all the anti-Jew verses are in the Medina texts, eg. chapters 2, 3 and 5.
My answer was that the article was written by Nonie Darwish. Not by me. And since she is an ex-Muslim writing for non-Muslims, it may not matter.
Islamic civilization has proven to be a gigantic failure in modern times; it's peoples are among the most destitute, backward, unhealthful, violent & totalitarian on earth. Yes, once it was a, if not the, most progressive civilization, but it's been bypassed in modern times & serves its peoples less well than Western civilization does its peoples.
