  What Does Islam say about Jews? Read this & find out!
Review created: 10/26/09

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested to know what Islam thinks about Jews throughout history. They believe the same about Christians (if not worse). Also see the authors interview on YouTube, you'll love it!

This comprehensive, meticulously documented collection of scholarly articles presents indisputable evidence that a readily discernible, uniquely Islamic antisemitism--a specific Muslim hatred of Jews--has been expressed continuously since the advent of Islam. -- Ibn Warraq (from the forward)

The contributors show that the Koran itself is a significant source of hostility toward Jews, as well as other foundational Muslim texts including the hadith (the words and deeds of Muhammad as recorded by pious Muslim transmitters) and the sira (the earliest Muslim biographies of Muhammad). Many other examples are adduced in the writings of influential Muslim jurists, theologians, and scholars, from the Middle Ages through the contemporary era.

Scholars, educators, and interested lay readers will find this collection an invaluable resource for understanding the phenomenon of Muslim antisemitism, past and present.

After Dr. Bostom's book, no scholar, politician or educated layman can ever again justify repeating the Islamic apologetic that Muslims hate Jews because of Israel or any such nonsense. A more thorough debunking of this myth, I cannot imagine.
This, together with his previous More...Legacy of Islamic Jihad lay bare the vast majority of the politically correct interpretations of Muslim history as a tolerant, peace-loving people. Their own writers and history tear down any such pretenses, and Dr. Bostom's two books demonstrate it beyond a shadow of doubt. There was no enlightened, tolerant, multicultural Andalusia (or any other Muslim-ruled nation). Muslim Jew-hatred has its origins in Islam's holy books as surely as the real history of Islamic conquest is chock-full of destruction, massacre, slavery and savagery.

I cannot begin to discuss or even give the numerous examples which Bostom brings into focus on presenting the validity of historical deeds on the part of the followers of Mohammedanism, and their spiritual descendants today who bring so much bloodshed in iraq, "palestine", Sudan, Nigeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mumbai etc. Read the book to know WHY they do it!
