What is the Muslim Christian Judean conflict?

Question

Why did it begin, when, where? Is this why Muslim Radicals call Christians infidels?

p.s. - I have my own beliefs and am not looking for preachings of your faith...if you are going to, don't bother wasting your time.
p.p.s. - I would narrow the question down, but I don't know enough about it to ask a more specific question, so answer as basic as you can to give me background. Thanks.

Answer 1

The basic conflict is that each religion claims to be the only true religion. Therefore, if you believe in one, then those who believe the others must be wrong.

The Christian Judean conflict began when Jesus was born. He was crucified because, according to the Jews, he was saying blasphemy when he said he was God. So those who chose to follow Jesus broke away from Judaism and created Christianity.

I imagine the conflict with the Muslims began during or shortly after the life of Mohammed. Since all three religions coexisted in the same part of the world, they were fighting for recruits, as well as over certain parts of land. For parents to prevent their children from leaving their religion, they had to teach the children to hate those of the other two religions.

And people of many religions insult the religious beliefs of others - not just Muslims. But to a Muslim, anyone who does not believe that Mohammed was a prophet is an infidel. Same with Christians, only the defining belief for them is whether Jesus was crucified to save you from your sins. I haven't seen much hatred in other religions, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Also, I'm being very general here. There are Christians and Muslims who are non-judgmental and respect the beliefs of others and are genuinely good people. There are others who are judgmental, but in some cases that's what they've been taught, and are not necessarily bad people. I hope that answers your question...and I hope I didn't offend anyone!

The earliest conflict began soon after Islam become the major religion of the Arabs in the 7th Century. Eager to gain new recruits, Spain was invaded in 711 AD. The country was soon occupied. The Muslims generally allowed Christians and Jews to practice their religions, but extracted extra taxes from them. In 732 AD, the Islam push into Europe from Spain was checked at Tours in central France by Carollus Martellus (Charles Martel), who was to be the grandfather of Charles the Great (Charlemagne).

For several centuries, the religions lived in relative harmony. The Christians in Europe were busily defending their lands against barbaric and Norse incursions, and then Christianizing these persons. The Roman Catholic and Eastern Catholic Churces split in 1054, just in time for an invasion by the Seljurk Turkish tribe, which overran much of modern-day Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Israel. These new rulers were very harsh on Christian visitors to Jerusalem, and at this time, the Roman Catholic Church was in the hands of one of the most powerful popes of all time, Urban VII. He preached that the heads of Europe should lead an Army to take the Holy Land from the Seljurks. As a result of his efforts, the First Crusade 1096-1099 successfully, and to everyone's surprise, did just this.

Several of the leaders of the 1st Crusade set themselves up as rulers in the Holy Land, using the feudalistic model of Europe. However, a strong Islamic leader arose, Nurid-al-Din, who started recapturing the Holy Land back from the Christian rulers. His son, Salidin, recaptured Jerusalem, and promted the Third Crusade (1189-1192), which, while not the success of the 1st Crusade, featured Richard Couer-de-Leon (the Lion-Hearted) as head of the Christian forces attempting to re-establish Christian rule.

This is pretty much how the emnity between the Muslims and Christians began. Actually, the term
"infidel" is a general term, one who does not believe.

This question is much to broad to be answered in this site. It is a very long and complicated subject. Try with shorter and narrower questions to reach your goal.

Answer 4

it started with Abraham in Genesis chapter 17
God promised Abraham that he would be the father of a nation since he was old he had a ******* son named Ishmael (the future leader of the Muslim belief they believe that he is the first born) then he had Isaac with his wife Sarah where it follows that he is the heir since he is legitimate.
Children in both cultures do not count as heirs if they are born out side of wed lock.

Answer 5

Well it all began with the European conquest, which feulled hatred agnist anything western. Then, the formation of Isreal, which the anti-semites are pissed off over, needless to say, isreal kicked all their arses. Then U.S. began to fund terrorist agnist the USSR, and Iraqi dictators agnist the Iranians, but they turned on us, because we put troops to defend the little nation of Kuwait and put troops all over the holy land of Islam (IE Saudi Arabia) and some in the CIty of Mecca. This got them more pissed.

Answer 6

Dear,

My answer is simple short and sharp.

Islam is the religion completed by God told to Prophet Muhammad. Islam honor and belief all the religions by God brought by Prophets and initiator guidance to the right path by all the Prophet of God and the the Messenger of God.

Other religion of God the Judaism and the Christianity thought great of their own religion and deny respects and honor to other religion brought by the prophets of God to lead the people to the right path.. The Deny, The Judaism deny the Christianity and so do the Christianity deny Islam. Islam respect the Christianity and Judaism, but Islam is a religion of it's own. God's exist prophets to be followed. The followers deny the newest Prophets.

Religion is about power and wealth so these three religions are after the same consumers in the global market. The more followers you have , the more rich and powerful your organisation is.
