What caused the hatred between jews and muslims, and when did it really start?

Answer 1

Nice question.
It started way back in Biblical times. If you recall this, an old patriarch named Abraham was childless. His wife Sarah gave him, her maidservant Hagar, an Egyptian. She bore a son named Ishmael, he is the father of all the Arabs. An angel of God told Hagar, that out of Ishmael :" I will make him a great nation." Genesis 21:18. The Arabs as a whole are a great nation, population wise, plus their culture, architecture, science, mathematics, medicine and so on.
But, the blessing of God went to Isaac, the child of promise.

The Arabs claim the right to all the land in the Middle East, stating that Ishmael was first born. In the Arab culture, the first born receives all the fathers land and possessions! However, their claim is without merit.

Incidentally, all of the territory in the Middle East. Jordan , Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, parts of Turkey and the Gulf States. Rightly belongs to Israel. They were cheated out of it by Great Britain and the Balfour Declaration.

So you see the Arabs have zero claim to that part of the world. But , centuries old hatred dies slowly.

On top of all this, is the question of religion and faith.

An excellent overview of this subject can be found in "The Everlasting Hatred-The Roots of Jihad" , Hal Lindsey,ISBN 1-931628-15-7.

Here is some insight as to the outcome of this conflict.

ISRAEL WINS!

Answer 2

Islamic scholars claim that the Torah was actually rewritten to write Isaac in and Ismael out! This is taught to school children.

There is both a physical land a spiritual land at issue. Among all mankind the battle, physical and spiritual, has always been between brothers beginning in Eden.

Once you have revelation to see this in Scripture, working down through history. it irons out all the lies between religions; the lies of mythology, misinterpretations in education and science; the representations of art; the source of hatreds and the presence, seat and progress of good and evil in the world.

Knowing where hatred started is important but knowing why and how it is working now is more important. With those answers you get to see the works of good and evil side by side as they take place.

These are living forces, not just old family grudge fights because daddy or mommy liked you best.

Answer 3

I will be interested in the different points of view on this question. We Christians were taught that it began with Abraham's two sons, Ishmael (Arabic) and Issac (Jewish).

It is a long and involved story, but it has to do with which boy was God's child of the Promise?.... We Christians and Jews say Issac. The Bible teaches that Issac is the child of the Promise because he was born of Abraham and Sarah.

I believe Muslims believe it was Ishmael, because he was first born of Abraham, but his mother was a former princess, captured and turned slave, not the wife of Abraham.

Answer 4

well it started long ago, when the muslims were in al madina , and had an agreement with the jews that they won't fight against them when el kofaar comes, but they helped them and so on. They always do agreements and never stick to them. And then when all the jews were send in 1948 into palestine and started to make a country.

Answer 5

Different religious beliefs started the hatred, and it all began the day that they discovered that they believed differently.

Answer 6

1500 a.d. During the Muslim conquest. Both sides got to big for that piece of land.

Answer 7

Since most of the modern Islam is very close to Christianity; they simply inherited a lot of their anti-semitism from the early Christian church's version.

Answer 8

The history is too lengthy - but the Arab nation and the Jewish nation are cousins. Sometimes brothers fight worse than strangers.
