Why is it that most muslims and jews have some sort of 'hate' against each other?...genuine question?

Answer 1

Religion is a smoke screen.

the Middle East is a crowded place full of ancient hatreds and mistrust.

limited resources, be it land, water or monetary is the real fuel for the hatred. Syria want to control Lebanon, Iran won't be happy until the reclaim the glory of the Persian Empire and dominate all the way to Saudi Arabia and including israel.

Religion is just the tool they brainwash their undereducated population with.

Israel hates because the last time they trusted an aggressor, it cost them 6 million people.


These people have hated each other since before the Birth of Mohammed and before Judaism appeared.

Genocide was practiced in the Middle East before the Greek language that "genocide" comes from was born.

If Israel were to disappear, the Muslims would fall back to hating each other.


They will hate until the end of the world.

Answer 2

The arabs and Jews share the same ancestry. Abraham is the father of Isaac who is the patriarch the nation of Israel (Jews) and Ishmael is the illegitimate son of Abraham and a slave girl. In tradition the rights of the land and other blessings go to the first born child. In this case, God did not recognize Ishmael because he wasn't born to Abraham and Sara (his wife), but he was born by a slave (servant girl). God, in the Bible, calls Isaac the "first born son" and the first born son's rights are passed to him. This child was a promise of God and the child was a symbol of Jesus coming. Isaac was born to Sara after she when she was too old to have babies (90+). Isaac was the symbol of Jesus because Abraham and Sara were free (not slaves). Ishmael was born to the slave girl Haggar and the sybolism for sin was often slavery (to sin). So, symbolically Ismael couldn't be the symbol of Jesus. Also, Jesus was teh first born son, so Isaac was the first born free son. That is why the arabs and Jews fight over land today and for the past 4000+years.

Also, they hate eachother because the main purpose of islam is to kill all Jews (and anyone else unwilling to convert to islam). And the Jews don't want to be killed. Pretty simple. If muslims are allowed to kill the Jews it will not stop. They will then turn their focus on Christians, (the 2nd most hated group to muslims) then probably the catholics.

Answer 3

Wrong! Muslims hate Jews and Americans. Most Jews do not hate Muslims. Ask some of them?

Answer 4

As far as I know, it started at the time of the Old Testament, between the Jews and the Palestinians, when David killed Goliath. They both wanted the land Israel is occupying right now. They both believe it is theirs. No one really knows how the war suddenly made a turn to be between the Jews and the Arabs.

Answer 5

All Muslims were Jews before Mohamed the prophet introduced Islam the hatred has always been there since then.The hatred increased after Israel was created after WW2.

Answer 6

Jews would not allow anyone who was not born a Jew to grace the kingdom of heaven through the shall we say port hole. Preacher at the time one called Mo hammed springs to mind said don't worry because I spoken to God and he said we can degrade women and hate the Jews for not allowing us to pry with them so. Marry them a 13 lie has much as you want we will find something in the ca ran to absolve you. The Arab traders spread this religion to the African nations

Answer 7

muslims and jews, historically, have existed in the same geographical location (around israel... my geography is crap, sorry). people in the same location tend to fight over resources (easy access to water, good grazing land for their animals, easily defensible positions, etc), and, when these people are united, by something like a religion, tend to group together with that unifier and fight, "the other". furthermore, both religions have unfortunate passages in their holy books telling them to kill people that aren't their religion. confusingly, they also have passages telling them to love everyone. muslims and jews (and christians) have not always fought, however. the muslims believe in jesus (though they believe he was a prophet, and not the messiah), and they trace their descent from the abraham of the old testament, thus forming a continuity with both jews and christians. christians, too, base their religion upon judaism, as they believe jesus is the messiah prophesied in the jewish old testament. the jews, well... again, they have conflicting passages, in their holy books, that confuse them.

Answer 8

let me tell you sth
none of jews and muslims hate each other ,cos both of those religions are the religion based on sth named Love

and only some fooled ppl from both sides ,who believed some lies which has been created by politics
(like all the lies u see about iranians in your TV and all the lies I see about Americans and Israelians in our TV) turn against each other and instead of living in peace together they choose a War ,which only has a big amount of money for country rulers :(

Hope Our monji "Mohammad" and "Jesus" who is a respected prophet for us,save the world ...

Answer 9

HATE
On its own the most destructive word in any language
It is handed down through the adults to children
It has been this way with all cultures throughout time
World wide.
Acceptance would be better handed down to our offspring

Answer 10

I think alot of it has to do with the land issue in Israel/Palestine....and that goes back to the late 1800s when the Jews began to heavily populate that area, and I think the rest is out of differences in thinking. Can't we all just get along!?!
