There are many good Muslims in this world, who can speak good things about JEWS, but they are scared to come forward. Hope more Muslims to come out and speak loudly.
32. Muslim Jewish friendship is ok but...
Obsessive ,   Turkey   (02.01.13)
I never respect "apprentice" foals. I'm sorry but an ultimate mess and whirl without knowledge. (very dangerous for Islam and Judaism) New age e-Journalism can't hold "Proteksia". I always know my stuff. Regards. Shabat Shalom Happy weekend.
33. Thank you for the fresh ideas!

We all should give up violence. Let us end the internal and external violence. Let us deny power to those who operate violently, harm their own people and people of the neighboring states.
34. Islam and Judaism
Al ,   US   (02.01.13)
Hatred of Jews as it is stated in this article has no basis in Islam. Jews have flourished under muslim rule in Andulus (Spain) and in the middle east. However, the brotherly feeling began to change in the 1920s and 1930s when the world powers design to establish a homeland for Jews in Plaestine began to gain traction and culminated in the expulsion of 700,000 Palestinians ( christians and muslims) to pave the way for a Jewish majority. The expeled Palestinian became refugees in neighboring states and their suffering continues. So the hatred stems mainly from the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
35. #11 caglar - please answer one question
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.01.13)
What exactly qualifies as radical islam? I have heard many definitions and find that it seems to encompass most Muslims, yet you seem different. So with respect could you please enlighten us?
36. #27 marek not exactly
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.01.13)
We do not hate Muslims because they are Muslims. We hate the actions of those that work to harm us. It is actions we hate, not the fact that they are different. If we are left alone - we are the most peaceful people in the world
37. #34 Al not even close

In the year 641 AD, Muhammad's successor the Caliph 'Umar decreed that Jews and Christians should be removed from all but the southern and eastern fringes of Arabia. In the 1066 Granada massacre, the razing of the entire Jewish quarter in the Andalucian city of Granada. 1172, Jews and Christians were expelled from Morocco and Islamic Spain. In 1465, Arab mobs in Fez slaughtered thousands of Jews, leaving only 11 alive. In 1656, all Jews were expelled from Isfahan because of the common belief of their impurity and forced to convert to Islam. Under the Zaydi rule, the Yemenite Jews were considered to be impure, and therefore forbidden to touch a Muslim or a Muslim's food. They were obligated to humble themselves before a Muslim, to walk to the left side, and greet him first. They could not build houses higher than a Muslim's or ride a camel or horse, and when riding on a mule or a donkey, they had to sit sideways. Upon entering the Muslim quarter a Jew had to take off his foot-gear and walk barefoot. If attacked with stones or fists by Islamic youth, a Jew was not allowed to defend himself. In such situations he had the option of fleeing or seeking intervention by a merciful Muslim passerby. In 1834, in Safed local Muslim Arabs carried out a massacre of the indigenous (Old Yishuv) Jewish population of that city in the Safed Plunder. In 1839, in the eastern Persian city of Meshed, a mob burst into the Jewish Quarter, burned the synagogue, and destroyed the Torah scrolls. It was only by forcible conversion that a massacre was averted. There was another massacre in Barfurush in 1867. In 1839, the Allahdad incident, the Jews of Mashhad, Iran, now known as the Mashhadi Jews, were coerced into converting to Islam. In 1840, the Jews of Damascus were falsely accused of having murdered a Christian monk and his Muslim servant and of having used their blood to bake Passover bread. Throughout the 1860s, the Jews of Libya were subjected to what Gilbert calls punitive taxation. In 1864, around 500 Jews were killed in Marrakech and Fez in Morocco. In 1869, 18 Jews were killed in Tunis, and an Arab mob looted Jewish homes and stores, and burned synagogues, on Jerba Island. In 1875, 20 Jews were killed by a mob in Demnat, Morocco; elsewhere in Morocco, Jews were attacked and killed in the streets in broad daylight. In 1897, synagogues were ransacked and Jews were murdered in Tripolitania. You might want to learn some history before telling us how little you know.
38. Islam and Judaism no 34
JUDAH THE LION ,   JEWS FIGHT LIKE LION   (02.01.13)
Wrong Al. Islam hates Jews from the days of Mohammed. Mohammed have forced Jews to convert, those who refused were expelled or beheaded. Ready history
39. #2., No.
Jake   (02.01.13)
Mutual understanding and respect must also be based on accurate understanding of history. Khalid Bin Walid was NOT a Jew that converted to Islam. He was a member of the Quraish, the same tribe as Muhammad (not one of the Jewish tribes), and converted to Islam. Secondly, although the Nazis called themselves the National Socialists, it is not correct to say they were Communists.
40. Many Rabbi & many jews teach their children non-jew = non-hu
American Watcher   (02.01.13)
non-jew = non-human. There are radicals in ALL religions.
41. #4
Peace   (02.02.13)
This is exactly what the writer is trying to say. Another example of misinterpretation.
42. #17
Peace   (02.02.13)
Let me help you with your interpretation. They don't despise the jewish people but they despise those BAD jewish people.
43. #34 for president ( end )
Fares ,   Cleveland /ohio   (02.02.13)
44. Right and wrong
Fritz ,   NY   (02.02.13)
Yeah the praise the Torah etc. but the Koran also says Jews and Christs have rewritten this books and now its all a lie!But the Koran also say that Israel belongs to the jews(Saudi Arabia has rewritten the Koran about this!).The most muslims don´t know that and the other sayed this means only the real old jews.Very few say its true.
45. It would be funny if it turns out
Iranian H   (02.03.13)
The peaceful and moderate "muslims" are the one that is trying to rewrite the quran. Just read mohammad's history. He definitely killed many jews (or bad jews according to peaceful muslim interpretation). And his successor definitely persecuted jews. Even Rambam admits he is persecuted by the al moravid muslims. She is nice, but i wonder if she is one of those "i love jews, just hate zionists" muslims? :D
46. # 37 and 38
Al ,   USA   (02.03.13)
#37 seem to copy prtions of Wikipedia article that support his argument and deleted the one that counter his argument such as "Jews flourished under othomans rule". If you want to copy somthing at least be credible enough not to sherry pick. If you really interested in learning you should read "Tales of the Alhambra" by Washington Irving and "Le Dernier des Abencerages" by Chateaubriand an you will learn that under Islamic rule Jews were treated better than they have under any other ruler in their history.
47. #27 - Hello Germanya, and whom DO YOU hate today ??

48. anti semitic has always meant anti Jews.
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (02.03.13)
The heir of Abraham was Isaac. Hagar and Ishmael were excluded from Abraham when Sarah bore Isaac. So, Ishmael became Islam's first 'prophet' and Isaac remained the heir of Abraham. The blessings were for Isaac, not Ishmael who was excluded with Hagar the Egyptian. This is why one's mother must be a Jew to have a Jewish heir.
49. # 17 Sarah More interesting, but
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (02.03.13)
There are millions of Christians who love and support Israel. Mostly 'protestants" unlike Europe's Catholics, they love Jews. Please, I ask you to not insult our Christian friends. Not all Christians are crusaders. Just as all Jews aren't practicing Judaism. We do agree that G-d is on our side.
50. # 30 G-ds words are powerful
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (02.03.13)
Not some cult who tries to justify the murder of Jews. Look out fr one another is fine as long as the 'other' isn't planning to murder you. The Muslim on Muslim wars shows exactly how hates pays off big time..... Where are their words now? Saved for a burial?? So much for 'peaceful Islam.' Maybe something was lost in translation? Like PEACE, LOVE, KINDNESS? All we see is MURDER!!!!
51. to topic : jews are friends of muslims
bubuta ,   turkey   (02.07.13)
yes we are ! together we are all friends and part of the same Creator :))
52. WHY?
Michel ,   Lebanon   (02.09.13)
I've read the topic written by a Jewish opinion on 'Why Muslims Hate Jews'. Some of the Muslim's comments were to say logic, but i'm more intersted to know a Jewish opinion on why they hate Muslims, has it got a historic background? Or it is a hate back re-action? Or it is an own understanding of Religion? men5955@live.com
53. Hatred of Jews in Muslim world stems from misinterpretation
Bashy Quraishy ,   Copenhagen-Denmark   (10.05.13)
We Muslims must fight terrorism, extremism and religious misuse The feelings of all Muslims around the globe is that they feel bad about the way the entire communities are being blamed for the wrongdoings of a few, who in the name of Islam are wreaking havoc around the world and giving a bad name to Islam and Muslims at large. It is sad to hear and read reports about killings and violence perpetrated by deviant groups who claim to be waging a “holy war.” True Muslims should now wage their own war against terror by supporting each other against the menace. Apart from that all organizations working with Muslim groups should strongly denounce terror attacks and issue a unanimous condemnation against all those groups or elements terrorizing the world. One way of doing can be that all states and organizations should take measures to improve the literacy level among Muslims without gender discrimination.
