Muslims, It seems obvious to me that Islam is intollerant of the Jewish faith.?

Question

Why is this?

I don't know any Muslims so I thought I'd ask this question here.

I understand the Koran claims that Jews are really dogs and monkeys...? Is this true?

I also understand that Christians are constantly being attacked, and opressed in very ugly ways in Islamic countries. Why...?

Answer 1

in the Quran Jews are referred to as people of the Book. (fyi: good thing)


[2:111] Some have said, "No one will enter Paradise except Jews or Christians!" Such is their wishful thinking. Say, "Show us your proof, if you are right."

explaination:
Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

Answer 2

*sigh* Ignore AS ... he/she is a complete moron. I've never known any Jew to dress up as a Muslim. Let alone destroy their own sacred texts just in some plot to make Muslims look bad. *rolls eyes* Holy paranoid AS and outright lies. As for the books, that is sad. Islam is NOT a peaceful religion even in it's origins. Perhaps there are a few peaceful Muslims, but the religion itself is anything but. What is sad, is that Jews would not have desecrated any Muslim holy books IF the situation were reversed; yet, Muslims can do it to Jews and it is supposed to simply be accepted? I don't see why Muslims should even be allowed into the Tomb of the Patriarchs; i mean, in all honsety Islam is a rip off of Judaism (and Christianity) so, it's not like Abraham is actually the valid patriarch, right? Jacob = Jews, Esau = Muslims. ?? No wonder Muslims hate Jews. But it is out of trying to be respectful and keep peace (among other things such as nasty politics) that they are even allowed. Personally, i think their presence there is more of a disgrace than anything, but that's just my personal opinion. I am doubtful they would react so peacefully if Jews went to a mosque and did similar OR let's say desecrated their holy books. Yes, peaceful Muslims exist, but the religion itself is NOT peaceful and anyone who says otherwise obviously knows nothing about it. Very sad about the books. xoxo ♥

Answer 3

WHAT?
The thing about the dogs and monkeys is tottaly UNTRUE and if u want to say something about something in th Quran u should give th e context. some people were so disrespectful ther turned to animals no sure if there jews. And dont study the muslims study Islam!! Islam is perfect but the muslims sadly are not what they do in islamic countries are horrible and wrong so pleez dont judge such a beautiful religioun by the people who disname it

Answer 4

My husband has been to many countries and while he was in Iraq and Dijibouti i was told DO NOT send anything to do with Christianity to him so as not to cause offence,
Who is lying?
Christians are being attacked. that is the truth,
your religion Islam, has been hijacked by fanatic fundamentalist whose voices and actions are LOUDER than the moderates, which is disheartening because this is how you are perceived.
Someday, God willing, we all know how deep and wide the Love of our Father is and that He weeps for the suffering His children bring upon each other.

Answer 5

We are not intolerant of the Jewish faith! The Quran says calls Jews and Christians people of the book.

It does not call them monkeys, however it is believed that God punished some people by making them into monkeys. People just turn this around and try to insinuate other things.

Allahu allam.

Answer 6

two sides to every story, but this is Judeo-Chritian America. Are they gonna show you the opressed muslims? no!
da man brings up a good argument.
moreover, i have lived in an islamic country and christians get treated with LOTS of respect (emphasis on the word lots!)..completely the opposite of what you claim. Around the united states, i have to file lawsuits for discrimination because i cover my hair.

Answer 7

The best advice I could give you is to read the Quran and fully understand everything (not so you can convert, but so you will be educated).....no better answers than that!! Sorry I do not feed into questions like this, but hopefully I still helped you.

****EDIT**** In regard to your e-mail:
I can't speak for anyone else Muslim or non-Muslim, but I can speak for myself. I’m a Muslim, and I’m not intolerant of anyone. Yes it’s true there are Muslims that are intolerant of people of other religions, but there are also other people of other religions intolerant of people of different religions. This is a true story, and I hope you will believe so. I knew a co-worker last year that is Catholic and she absolutely hated Jews because of what she thinks they did to Jesus (pbuh), she did not conceal her hate and her hate showed in her actions. Now do you think that it would be fair for me to think that all Catholic people hate Jews…No, and I don’t believe that this is true. This is because I believe that no one can singly represent everyone of his or her religion. So I look at her as an angry unjust PERSON, and not as an angry unjust Catholic woman. This seems very important to you and so I really hope that you will seek the correct guidance in finding your information about Islam. There are good and bad people of all religions, but it is up to us to distinguish between what is correct and incorrect. I really hope that if you decide to read any of the verses from the Quran, you will discuss your questions with a scholar. One must really understand what she or he is reading in the Quran, for it is very easy to misunderstand the verses. As for the link you gave me on the website about Islam that was created by a Christian person…only a scholar in Islam can interpret the verses of the Quran. Anything else is not creditable to me, and shouldn’t be to anyone else. Again I hope you will seek the correct guidance in finding your information about Islam. Here are some sites I want you to check out. Peace.

Answer 8

I think those who want to confuse zionism with jewish faith used to make this kind of amalgam in order to discredit Muslims and Coran.

Answer 9

[what u hear about christians bieng attacked IS NOT TRUE]

So all the many dozens of reports from different places around the world are all lies? Me thinks thou doest protest too much!

Answer 10

Salam
