Why, historically, and when did Jews get along with Muslims but not today?

Question

I've read extensively about the subject, and during the Middle Ages, Jews were well accepted in Islamic nations, becoming advisors and physicians to Caliphs and high kings all the while being persecuted by Christians, kicked out of Spain and England. Christians and Muslims were not that friendly either, what with the crusades.

But now the alliance has changed. Christians and Jews are buddies, whilst Islam is the odd man out, so to speak. Why the change? When did this happen? Does this have to do with Zionism and the Christian belief that Jews reclaiming the Holy Land is part of End Time prophecy as revealed in the Book of Revelations?

Thoughts?

Answer 1

Islam regards Jews and Christians better than followers of Infidel religions, because the see us all worshiping the same God. However in medieval Europe, and even in some sects today, Christians viewed Jews as responsible for the death of Christ, and therefore as servants of evil. Jews were often driven from Christian countries and took refuge in Muslim ones (even as late as WWII Europe) where they were treated better, though not as equals. But the politics of oil, the cold war and Israel has become more important that religious beliefs. Israel's conflict with the Palestinians has turned Muslims against the Jews, and the horror of the Holocaust has made expression of antisemitism unacceptable in Europe and the US. The End Time believers provide addition support for Israel in the US but the driving force was that they were our ally in during cold war in a region where we had few friends.

Answer 2

This is to do with Zionism which was a movement started during the 19th century among Europeans of jewish descent who claimed that Palestine should be theirs because their sky god had promised it to them thousands of years ago.
If you read the small print in their holy books you realise that even in those days they massacred all the existing inhabitants.
The chance the Zionists were waiting for came after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in WW1 and the subsequent administration of Palestine by the British.
There were several Jews in the British government but no Arabs and the Zionists were able to use their influence to start a takeover.
The Christian and Muslim Arabs rioted a few times in protest but were suppressed..
During and after WW2 the Zionists developed a proper terrorist organisation which carried out many atrocities against the British and the Palestinians.
In 1948 the newly formed UN decided to partition Palestine to stop the bloodshed but the Palestinians were not consulted and rejected the proposals.
The British withdrew and the Zionists seized the land that is now called Israel, forcing arabs out of their villages and shooting any who refused to go.
Basically its the curse of religion, can you imagine what the world would be like if we all decided to go back and seize the land our ancestors lived on centuries ago.

There was relative peace in Palestine before the modern Zionists came to the scene starting with Theodor Herzl the father of modern Zoinism. Christians had already been indoctrinated into Zoinism before 1948 throught the Scofield Reference Bible's Zionist foot notes. This had become one of the most widely studied Bibles in the seminaries. Prior to 1948, the Zoinists conceived plan "D" or Plan "Daleph". A comprehensive list of Palestinians had been accomplished of who's who in Palestine. In a matter of a few days the Palestinian leaders, mayors, religious leaders were assasinated and the Palestinian voice was effectively cut off from the rest of the world. This caused over 800,000 Palestinians to flee for their lives. You probably never read about plan "D" because the victor writes the history.
God said that He would return Abraham's children to the promised land and that it would be a blessing. The Zionists didn't have time to wait around for God so they took it upon themselves to rape and pillage Palestine. The Zionist leaders blocked every effort to rescue European Jews from Hitler's death camps so that the world would turn a blind eye when they attempted to ethnically cleanse Palestine.

Now the Zionists are tring to pass hate crime laws so that what I have written would be interpreted as anti-Jew. The modern Zionists are among the worst enemies that the Jews have had in recent years.

To further complicate things, a lot of this information is paraded around on hate webs and white supremecist websites who lump all Jews together.

Many of the Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem do not take Israeli citizenship and they suffer for it. Modern Israel is an imposter formed by the hand of men by the blood of Eoropean Jews and people indigenouse to the region of modern Israel.

Many Christians could care less what is happening to the Palestinians or to what the Zionists are accomplishing. They get goosebumps when the gaze upon the hexagram and think that modern Israel is a sign that Jesus is coming back. It is not.

I love the Jews, that is why I am not afraid to expose their enemy, the modern Zionists.

Answer 4

In the very beginning of the Islamic religion, they were best buddies. But Mohammed turned on the Jews after another "vision", and since, its been scattered Jew/Muslim relationships, based more on the individual person than the religion, as largely they hated each other.

Christians and Jews are not buddies today, either. America, whose government is largely Christian, and Israel, whose government is largely Jewish, have many common goals especially concerning the Muslim countries. But the religions are still nothing close to "buddies," especially when you look at all the stereotypes each religion propagates against the other. They are buddies in that each of them has stopped trying to kill each other; when compared to their common enemy, the Muslims, the Jews and Christians must be looking at the other thinking, "Well, it could be worse."

All three religions still have major problems with the others, but with the Christians calming down and becoming more peaceful, like the Jews have done for forever, they and the Jews are becoming less antagonistic of each other, and uniting against a religion that has refused to become peaceful and desires to kill them both, the Muslims.

Answer 5

Judaism and Islam are inherently tolerant religions.

The problem is Israel, not Jews.

Answer 6

I don't think there has ever been any "love" between Jews and Muslims. In fact, as I understand it, Mohammed was murdered by his first Jewish wife, a young girl he bought from one of his soldiers after they sacked her village. She poisoned the prophet by putting something into his lamb dinner. The rest is history...

Answer 7

I think you need to stop emathizing with a religion that was founded by a thief, con man and pedophile.
