I'm not going to even read this. I'm just going to say...
Muslims and Jews have been at war for hundreds of years. |
No they haven't. Conflict between Jewsand Muslim didn't start until this century with the founding of Israel. Before that, Jews lived peacefully alongside Muslims, Jews even fled Europe and moved to Arab countries because of Christian persecution during the Dark Ages.
I do think the mechanism for Germans hating Jews and Muslims hating Jews is the same. After WWI, radical Germans needed someone to blame for its embarassing loss of power, and the Jewish minority was an easy target. For radical Muslims, they need someone to blame for their fall from power, specifically the Ottoman Empire which was the last powerful Islamic state, and the founding of Israel made targeting the Jewish minority even easier.

That's why there are things going on NOWADAYS.
The Qur'an, if i remember correctly, even encourages Muslims to attack Jews if they don't convert to Islam.

I don't seem to recall that. What I remember the Qu'ran saying was... and I'm pharaphrasing here....
"Jews and Christians are cool, they're misguided but our brothers. Try and convert them, but treat them fairly... fuck everybody else, if your in a war."
The thing about the Qu'ran is that it isn't entirely "future proof" some of the books in it were meant only for specific times in which they were written.

I wasn't 100% positive so i looked it up, this was the first link i found.

"The religion of Islam, to which a majority of Arabs are adherents, has made this hostility more profound. The Qur'an contains somewhat contradictory instructions for Muslims regarding Jews. At one point it instructs Muslims to treat Jews as brothers and at another point commands Muslims to attack Jews who refuse to convert to Islam. The Qur’an also introduces a conflict as to which son of Abraham was truly the son of promise. The Hebrew Scriptures say it was Isaac. The Qur’an says it was Ishmael. The Qur’an teaches that it was Ishmael whom Abraham almost sacrificed to the Lord, not Isaac (in contradiction to Genesis chapter 22). This debate over who was the son of promise contributes to the hostility today."
