is quran anti-semitic?

Thank you for the link, it is interesting.
But you see, being Jewish is not a question of DNA! It is not a question of body, or customs, or cultural identity. It is a question of the soul. To be Jewish, you have to have a Jewish Soul, which G-d gives directly to whom He wants.
There are many Jews today who would be surprised to know that they are not actually Jewish, similar to many Muslims or Xtians who might discover that they might be Jewish, because of too many conversions (both directions) during the history.
If someone wants to become Jewish or to examine and check if he is Jewish, it has to be done in a halakha way by a real true orthodox authority.
peace
Bro I am not sure what you call yourself, but this is what I think regarding Islam, Christianity and Judaism;
The deen authorized by allah is Islam; Noah, Moses, Issa, Ibrahim, Solomon, Lott., Mohammd,,, etc all were muslims they never called themselves; jews or xtians or sunnis.
The same as Sunnis, Jews are fixated with Tamuldic Judiasm, the Arab tribe of beni Israel in Arabia didn't know or follow the Talmud which is way worst than Albukhari IMHO.
Most of Beni Israel, Beni Hatem, Beni Hassan.... etc of Arab tribes converted to Islam, some of them who settled in modern day Palestine who later converted from Judaism to Islam after Sunni conquest.
Then bunch of eastern european khazarians wanted to claim the history of Beni Israel. These Khazarian Talmudic jews are no better than Abu Hurira or Bukhari.
Check the Karaite movement, it's similar to Quran only movement.
-
I agree. I'm confused though, are you Muslim or Jew )
Peace
As my nickname says, probably just a simple Godsubmitter, although I do not like the term "submit", since part of God is in us, and we often do not submit to it )
I am just trying to search G-d, and trying to be as near Him, as humanly possible.
Hello @abuamrrami,
Of course I know everything about Karaite movement, but since this is mainly an Islamic Forum, it would be too extensive to cover all the proofs and reasons for The Rabbinical Judaism, and the proof for the oral law, here. -
Hello @abuamrrami,
Of course I know everything about Karaite movement, but since this is mainly an Islamic Forum, it would be too extensive to cover all the proofs and reasons for The Rabbinical Judaism, and the proof for the oral law, here.So basically you don't believe in hadith but you believe in oral law?
-
So basically you don't believe in hadith but you believe in oral law?
It is utterly unimportant what do I believe in, isn't it?
But had I to choose, merely from the end-result pint of view, hadiths made Muslims stupid, backward and retarded, and Talmud, Mishna etc made Jews successful, intelligent and wise, I would choose the rich Jewish survival philosophy.
And there are even proofs, that God gave both written, and oral law, to His chosen people.
And He also promised that however Israel is behaving badly or being problematic, He will never replace His chosen people with another one! And today we see His promise fulfilled.Now, remember, as I wrote elsewhere, being a Jew is not a question of DNA, or culture, or Ethnos or customs! (not going to explain it again)
-
I think what you've said is the most racist antisemitic unintelligent thing i heard for years.
- Many of the Muslims are backwards today because the follow backward hadith.
- The mainly successful "jews" are mainly of secular/atheist or they don't follow the most backward criminal back ever made "Talmud"
- There are many of the jews as well who follow talmud and they are more backward than current muslims, you should check Kharidi and Masorti jews.

-Now for God promise, wasn't it given to Beni Israel? what does the Khazarian so-called jews have to do with the promise to beni Israel?!!, Beni Israel is most probably today Palestinians, Yemenis,..., How come a Khazrian who want to be associate themselvces to Judea geography are now even claiming to be Israelites.
- I noticed that when a fake khazarian jew is confronted , DNA and other red herrings are mentioned. Even the Jewish Encyclopedia indicated that Ashkenazi Khazarian jews are more than 90% of the jews, just few years back it was removed.
Finally if you are saying that following the Talmud will make you more advanced, intelligent, civilized, .. etc and you've READ it, and you believe that and I think you are not intellectually honest and you didn't learn anything on this forum, I am not sure what is you agenda here but I hope God guide you to the right path.
It is utterly unimportant what do I believe in, isn't it?

As I said elsewhere, to have a little knowledge in the wrong way, is far worse than having no knowledge at all.
Of course there is everything of everything everywhere and one can find examples for this or that.
But there are evidences. Most of the successful secular Jews you mention have grandparents and ancestors among most illuminated and wise Rabbis.
Talmud is not a book to follow, but to argue and to learn to discern. The Jewish tradition is a tool for developing conscience to become fit for life.
Bible, Gospels and probably Qur'an were written for the advancement of human spirit, not for the brainwashing into mental enslavement, I think.God has chosen His people, not a tribe, or a clan!
Those people who are chosen always know that they are chosen. (In sura about the cave-lads it obviously says they searched for kosher food -food that is pure)
But on the other hand, there are always Hollywood-type myths about every religion, and thousands of cults.I just like to examine the end-results of everything. What effect Judaism, Xtianity or Islam, had on people.
Without Jews this planet would be quite a different place!I do apologize to everybody reading this post, for being provoked into this utterly stupid discussion based on generalizations.
I would also recommend to have a personal Jewish friend and then have opinions, or spend a Shabbat in a Jewish family. And to see difference between Catholic and Russian Orthodox Xtianity. I would also recommend to spend some time in Muslim arrondissement (or quarters) in Paris, or London (which is still safer then traveling to Muslim countries).Hopefully we are all loyal to the title of this Forum "Free Minds", aren't we?

It's funny how many people think that "Semitic" only refers to Jews. "Anti Semitism" can also be discrimination against Arabs or Syriacs or few other groups of people. -\
It's even funnier that most westerners think that Israelis are Semites when most of them are Europeans.

The Qur'n DOES NOT ABROGATE the Torah
"Oh People of the Book! You have no guidance until you maintain the observance of the Torah and the Gospel and that which has been revealed to you from your Lord; and certainly that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will make many of them to increase in rebellion and disbelief ." - Qur'n 5.68
The Qur'an Commands Obedience to the Bible, and Instructs Jews to Follow Judaism; the Covenant of the Mitzvot
Throughout the centuries, the Muslim world has argued that the Qur'an is to be read as sola scriptura, with supplementation only from fairly late hadith accounts, but never from the Bible. This is determined through the late hadith literature where the literary character of Muhammad is claimed to have forbidden Umar from reading the Bible.
In contrast to this, Shi'ah accounts, from Muhammad's direct descendants through
Ali and Fatimah, claim that these descendants - spiritual a'immah - were extremely well versed in the Bible. Similarly, such accounts contend that the Bible would be a primary source of judgment for a future "mahdi", who would also pray in the Hebrew language. While such accounts are repleat throughout the Shiah hadith literature - itself being writing as late as the Sunni accounts - normative Ithna `Ashari beliefs today are much closer to mainstream Sunni views, and than they are to the actual hadith narrations attributed to the Ahl al-Bayt, Muhammad's family, with regard to such matters.As for the Qur'an itself, it is even more clear; mincing no words whatsoever, and having no awareness of any later notion that it should supercede, or abrogate the Bible. We read, for instance, that if something is already in the Bible, the follower of Muhammad has no business asking him for a decision on such a matter; which is already plainly commanded by God in the Bible. (he should ask the Jews!)
And why do they come to you for a decision, when they have the Torah before them? Therein is the Command of God; yet even after that, they would turn away. Such are not Believers (Mu'minin/Ma'minim). (5.43)
If you are in doubt as what We have revealed to you, ask those who have been reading the Bible before you. Verily, the truth from your Lord has come to you, so be not of those who waiver . (10.94)
Criticizing those who don't adhere to the Torah and Gospel, only hypocrites are criticized, and not Jews and Nazarenes across the board. This tells us that the Qur'an viewed the Torah and the singular Gospel used by the Nazarenes, according to historical sources, a singular Hebrew Gospel which the Ebionites and Nazarenes alike utilized, as being valid, and does not criticize it as being textually invalid or corrupted.
If only they had stood fast by the Torah, the Gospel, and all the revelation that was sent to them from their Lord, they would have enjoyed happiness from every side. There is from among them a party on the right course but many of them follow a course that is evil. (5.66)
This clearly says that if those who turned away from the Torah and the Hebrew Ebionite Gospel would have kept to those texts, then they would have enjoyed happiness. This thus precludes the possibility that those scriptures were viewed as corrupt or abrogated by the Qur'an. Furthermore, the Qur'an commands Jews to continue to follow the Brit of the Torah and Mitzvot
O Children of Israel! call to mind My Favor which I bestowed upon you, and keep up your Covenant with Me as I fulfill My Covenant with you, and fear no one but Me. (2.40)
That is, the Qur'an instructs Jews to continue to practice Yahadut, the praising of Yah through the Covanent of the Mitzvot in the Torah. This is the clearly articulated Covenant to which the Qur'an refers, and which any reader of the Bible is familiar.
The Qur'an in fact says that when those who follow the Bible already hear what Muhammad recited, they recognized it as Biblical and Midrashic stories and instructions ALREADY received.
Those unto whom We gave the Bible before it, they believe in it (28.52)
And when it is recited to them they say We believe in it surely it is the truth from our Lord; surely we were submitting ones (muslimin) before this. (28.53)
Clearly then, a "muslim" is here defined as one who believes in the Bible and follows it. This was a new message to polythesists in the Arab world, but it was nothing at all new to Jews and Nazarenes. Thus, the Qur'an says, to its polytheist audience, that the Jews and Nazarenes in their midst already know this and are the first to say "we were submitting ones before this"; indicating clearly that "muslim" was not a term for a separate religion, defined by the Qur'an (but instead was a universal practice of obeying God by honoring the instructions in the Bible or the instructions given by Muhammad to the Arabs who had not previously been exposed to the Bible and Midrash. Thus the Qur'an tells us to "And believe in what I have revealed, verifying that which is with you, and be not the first to deny it, neither sell My communications for a small price; and Me, Me alone should you fear" (2.41).
Thus, the Bible which the Qur'an is "verifying" is "with you" currently, in Muhammad's day and ever since. 'Ayah 89 also repeats that the Qur'an is "verifying" the Bible, and that the curse of Allah is on the "kafirin", the "koferim" in Hebrew; meaning those who apostate from Judaism by breaking the Covenant. The Bible is not seen as corrupted, nor filled with deformed and distorted accounts that the listener to the Qur'an is to disregard. When Muslims reject the Bible, they are literally rejecting and disobeying the Qur'an.

http//www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/koran.htmlThe Koran & institutionalized anti-Semitism
The Koran is a great, inspiring work that motivates millions of people worldwide to prayer, good deeds and self improvement. Jews especially should recognize and appreciate the monotheism and service to the God of Abraham. Many Jewish scholars recognize that Jewish mysticism developed in Babylonia (modern day Iraq) shares many points in common with Islamic mysticism. Theoretically there are many shared values and ideals between Judaism and Islam.
But in spite of the Koran being a holy, inspirational work, verses in the Koran and to some extent the Hadith-statements attributed to the Prophet Muhammad are being used for political purposes -- often by individuals and leaders who are not at all religious themselves.
In the Europe of almost a century ago, the Christian New Testament was used to justify official government & institutional hatred and bigotry. Today the Koran is being twisted to turn latent anti-Jewish religious feeling into incitement and hated. With ever increasing frequency these evil stereotypes are finding their way into official government publications and school curriculum. Unlike the Christian New Testament, where anti-Jewish feeling was sometimes tempered by the knowledge that its authors were Jews, the Koran abounds in explicit anti-Jewish sentiment and finds no filial connection with the Jewish people.
The Arabs through persecution and anti-Semitism have
helped to create the Jewish state
Arab propagandists, and sympathizers turn religious reproof into politics. They persist in the charge that Israel is nothing more than a foreign outpost of Western civilization, the intruding offspring of Europe inhabited by European survivors of Nazi brutality. Arab anti-Semitism is fed by dramatized notions of evil foreigners.In actuality, Israel is only partially European. More than half of the people in Israel today are not "foreigners" to the Middle East, they are Jews or offspring of Jews who lived in Arab countries and have fled from Arab brutality; Israel's present population consists mainly of refugees and their descendants from two oppressions, European-Nazi and Arab. As the Arab writer Sabri Jiryis has acknowledged, either by official edict or by the Arab's own harsh mistreatment of the Jews among them, the Arab world has expelled or has caused Jews to flee to Israel. Were the facts popularly recognized, the Arab propaganda claim of a "European" Israel would long ago have been refuted. The Arabs through persecution and anti-Semitism have long helped to make the Jewish state predominantly an "Oriental" Israel of Jews from Arab lands.
Arab world's historical subjugation and mistreatment of Jews
attributed to the Prophet MuhammadDetermining to a great extent the Arab world's historical subjugation and mistreatment of Jews, the Koran, and to some extent the Hadith-statements attributed to the Prophet Muhammad-have been pivotal in creating the modem Jewish stereotype for Muslims.1 One Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad appeared in Egyptian publications in the 1930s and 1940s
The resurrection of the dead will not come until the Muslims will war with the Jews and the Muslims will kill them; ... the trees and rocks will say, "O Muslim, O Abdullah, here is a Jew behind me, come and kill him."2
The holy writings of Islam also contain benign references to Jews, which often are cited to support the fantasy of "harmonious relations between Muslims and Jews in Arab lands." Wherever Jews have lived under Arab Islam, however, their conditions appear to have been determined by the negative images of Jews within the Hadith Reports and the Koran, the juridical source of Islamic law, images found in such statements as the following
Ignominy shall be their portion wheresoever they are found... They have incurred anger from their Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them... because they disbelieve the revelations of Allah and slew the Prophets wrongfully... because they were rebellious and used to transgress.3
And thou wilt find them the greediest of mankind....4
Evil is that for which they sell their souls... For disbelievers is a terrible doom.5
Taste ye the punishment of burning.6
Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment.7
Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews.... And of their taking usury ... and of their devouring people's wealth by false pretenses. We have prepared for those of them who disbelieve a painful doom.8
Allah hath cursed them for their disbelief.9
They will spare no pains to corrupt you. They desire nothing but your ruin. Their hatred is clear from what they say, but more violent is the hatred which their breasts conceal.10
In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.11
And thou seest vying one with another in sin and transgression and their devouring of illicit gain. Verily evil is what they do. Why do not the rabbis and the priests forbid their evilspeaking and their devouring of illicit gain? .... evil is their handiwork.12
O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians for friends.13
The most vehement of mankind in hostility the Jews and the idolators.14
Fight against such of those ... until they pay for the tribute readily, being brought low.15
Allah fighteth against them . How perverse they are!16
Believers, many are the rabbis and the monks who defraud men of their possessions... Proclaim a woeful punishment to those that hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it in Allah's cause.... their treasures shall be heated in the fire of Hell.... 17
They spread evil in the land .... 18
knowingly perverted , know of nothing except lies ... commit evil and become engrossed in sin.19
Cairo "religious" conference in 1968
Many of these words of holy hatred and others were repeated amid religious fervor at a Cairo "religious" conference in 1968.20 The tone of that conference Arab Theologians on Jews and Israel, was unambiguous. First the introductory remarks
I welcome you in the name of Islam which gathered you under the banner of righteousness and good ... as active prominent scholars, and to reinforce through, you brotherhood in religion. 21
Then the proceedings, including the following unbrotherly interpretations
The Jews ... had resorted to their former policy and thus they deserved to be called, the worst of beasts in the Quran ...
They are characterized by avarice and many other vices.... 22
... it behoves us to refer to the distortion of the Jewish creed that filled the life of Jews with perfidy and evil....
Islamic tolerance is in complete contrast with Jewish intolerance and cruelty
... I should like to say before I conclude that I have thoroughly scrutinized the nature of the Jews. They are avaricious, ruthless, cruel, hypocrite and revengeful. These traits govern their lives. 23
The Jews' wicked nature never changes.... Evil, wickedness, breach of vows and money worship are inherent qualities in them. Many a time were they punished for their evil, but they never repented or gave up their sinfulness. 24
Against the turbulent, uncertain, and unmistakably iniquitous background of the Arab world's Jewry, it is commonly claimed that the Jews were, during certain periods in the Arab lands, "better off" than they were in Christian lands of Europe. They were not burnt in ovens, and perhaps in part because more twentieth-century Arab-bom Jews escaped with their lives, however subjugated, many contemporary Jews have romanticized their historical relations with the Arabs.
Brutal facts have been replaced by crueler fiction
Somehow the brutal facts have been replaced by crueler fiction. Even some Jewish historians -- who have themselves placed time and cause of Arab persecution, who have themselves chronicled a detailed calendar of horrors over many centuries in their own works -- even these historians have demonstrated an inability to fathom or, perhaps, to accept the implications of the history they themselves have uncovered. Thus, among the presentations of documented Arab atrocities perpetrated against the Jews, there is in some volumes a recurrent theme of the particular author's discomfort with the subject and his findings, and even a peculiar sort of apologia for having bared them. "Although the slaughter was violently anti-Jewish, we cannot say that this was true anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitisin did not exist historically in Arab countries." The problem lies in the susceptibility to misinterpretation, in the risk of being taken literally-but out of context. In the example just quoted above, the "fact" that might remain in the reader's mind is "Anti-Semitism did not exist historically in Arab countries." Although one or two or a dozen experts might understand that the writer was making an obtuse differentiation, the vast majority of readers, using the work for superficial reference or information, might be expected to perpetuate the myth further.
Official Position of the Arab Ministries of Education
Numerous official Arab Ministry of Education materials have been produced to prepare the present adult Arab generation for its continuation of "harmony" among Arabs and Jews.
The following are a few examples from publications officially distributed by the Ministries of Education in various Arab countries25
Jordan, 1966, for third-year junior high school Modern World History. For example, "The Jews in Europe were persecuted and despised because of their corruption, meanness and treachery."
Jordan, 1964, department for school curricula and textbooks, for first-year high school Glances at Arab Society, p. 117. An exercise "Israel was born to die. Prove it."
Syria, Damascus, 1963-64, for second-year junior high school The Religious Ordinances Reader, p. 138. For example "The Jews. lived exiled and despised since by their nature they are vile, greedy enemies of mankind."
Syira, 1963, fifth year elementary school Basic Syntax and Spelling. An exercise "We Shall Expel All the Jews." For example, "Analyze the following sentences 1. The merchant himself travelled to the African continent. 2. We shall expel all the Jews from the Arab countries."
Egypt, 1965, Egyptian State Seal, for first-year junior high school Grammar, p. 244. An exercise "The Arabs do not cease to act for the extermination of Israel."
U.A.R. (Egypt), for ninth-grade secondary schools Zionist Imperialism, by Abbad Muhmud Al-Akkad, p. 249. ". . . Israel hopes to be the homeland of the Jew, and they have the stubbornness of 4,000 years of history behind them. But Israel shall not live if the Arabs stand fast in their hatred. She shall wither and decline. Even if all the human race, and the devil in Hell, conspire to aid her, she shall not exist."26
Among the many examples, a Jordanian textbook for use in second-year high school asserts that the God of Judaism "'is a God who . . . is bloodthirsty, fickleminded, harsh and greedy ... pleased with imposture and deceit."
The anti-Semitic literature published by the Arabs since World War II has been voluminous, and is continually increasing, despite the almost total evacuation of the Arab world's Jews .27 The virulence of this literature is disturbing, but even more significant is the official or governmental origin of the publications-not from an extremist fringe, which might be lightly dismissed, but from Arab governments, including those called "moderate."
Report on Palestinian Authority School Books
The Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace Report28 The books reviewed in this report are published by the Palestinian Authority (PA) Ministry of Education. One privately published book is also included an atlas published in 1998, which was approved by the PA. With this one exception, all the text books quoted in this report are published officially by the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Education and are used in their schools.
A. Abusive terminology
Overview A telling measure of a government's genuine interest in peace is the intensity with which it acts to replace hateful stereotypes with positive attitudes. Thus, it is disturbing that the following abusive terminology for Israelis, Jews and Israeli characteristics is being used in Palestinian Authority school books and being aired on Palestinian Authority television.

Jewish gangsThe map that replaces all of Israel is Palestine
B. The Evil Enemy
Palestinian Authority school children are actively taught that the Jews and Israel are the enemy, in a broad range of contexts. The school texts portray the Jew as the enemy of believers, the enemy of Islam, the enemy of the Arabs, as well as generally evil and dangerous. Jews are killers and robbers and have stolen Arab land. Modern events are misrepresented to portray Israel and Jews as the evil force in their world. Zionism is equated to Nazism, together they are depicted as the prototype examples of racism. These themes also appear regularly on PA television.
"Complete the following blanks spaces with the appropriate word The Zionist enemy - - - - civilians with its aircraft.
"Why do the Jews hate Muslim unity and want to cause division among them? Give an example of the evil attempts of the Jews, from events happening today."
"The Jews ? have killed and evicted Muslim and Christian inhabitants of Palestine, whose inhabitants are still suffering oppression and persecution under racist Jewish administration."
"Who is the thief who has torn our homeland?"
"Write in your exercise book An event showing the fanaticism of the Jews in Palestine against Muslims or Christians."
"One must beware of the Jews, for they are treacherous and disloyal."
A section on Zionism is entitled? "Zionist Greed." 'Modern Arab History and Contemporary Problems, Part Two, for Tenth Grade #613 p. 49]
Even racism is defined through the Jews, while Nazism and Zionism are equated "Racism Mankind has suffered from this evil both in ancient as well as in modern times, for, indeed, Satan has, in the eyes of many people, made their evil actions appear beautiful... Such a people are the Jews?"
The clearest examples of racist belief and racial discrimination in the world are Nazism and Zionism.Islamic Sources Used to Create Stereotype At times, the hateful portrayal is based on Islamic sources. The children are taught to apply the traditional narratives to hateful teachings regarding Jews and Israelis today. Five examples
"I learn from this lesson I believe that the Jews are the enemies of the Prophets and the believers."
"From the Uhud expedition? a number of lessons can be learned? Treachery and disloyalty are character traits of the Jews and therefore one should beware of them."
"The Jews adopted a position of hostility and deception towards the new religion. They called Muhammad a liar and denied him, they fought against his religion in all ways and by all means, a war that has not yet ended until today, and they conspired with the hypocrites and the idolaters against him and they are still behaving in the same way?"
"In many cases these Jews acted according to their known cunning and deceit, and they fomented wars ?
"Lessons to be learned One must beware of civil war, which the Jews try to foment, and of their scheming against the Muslims."Misrepresentation of Modern Events
Modern events are misrepresented to portray Israel as active in an ongoing attack against Islam and the Arabs. Two examples In 1969 an Australian set the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on fire. Yet, the children are taught that Israel did it. "This arson is a further chapter in the Zionist plot, whose aim is to take control of this Islamic holy place, the Dome of the Rock and the whole area of the Jerusalem sanctuary and to destroy all that is holy to Islam."
The Zionist movement has never called for the expulsion of Israel's Arab citizens. Yet the books teach that Zionism calls for this "expulsion""Zionism is a political, aggressive and colonialist movement, which calls for the Judaisation of Palestine by the expulsion of its Arab inhabitants ?
C. Denial of Jewish Nationhood
The Palestinian Authority education has made Jews disappear from all contexts in Israel that are not negative and have even fabricated viciously racist statements, attributing them to Jewish sources. PA books describe Muslim and Christian religious, historical, and archaeologicalsites but omit any reference to Jewish sites. Tourists who visit are Christian and Muslim but there is no mention of the Jewish tourists. The Western Wall of the Temple is called "al-Buraq Wall" but there is no mention of its Jewish history. A history book describes World War II, Hitler and Nazi racism while ignoring the Jews and the Holocaust.Fabrication of a racist "Talmudic quote" It is mentioned in the Talmud "We are God's people on earth? forced upon the human animal and upon all the nations and the races that they serve us, and He spread us through the world to ride on them and hold their reigns. We must marry our beautiful daughters with kings, ministers and lords and enter our sons into the various religions, thus, we will have the final word in managing the countries. We should cheat them and arouse quarrels among them, then they fight each other? Non Jews are pigs who God created in the shape of man in order that they be fit for service for the Jews, and God created the world for them ."
As part of the overall de-legitimization, the books deny the continuity of the Jewish nation and their place in Israel, by severing modern Jewry and modern Israel from their history in the land. The children are taught that the Jews are not a nation, but rather, a religious group "who deluded themselves that their religious faith was sufficient to turn them into one nation."
Denial of Ancient Jewish History Thousands of years of Israeli - Jewish history and traditions and 2000 years of yearning to return to Israel, are likewise brushed away with? "The Zionists turn their attention towards Palestine as the national homeland of the Jews, while relying on false historical and religious claims."
Denial of Modern Jewish History The establishment of the state of Israel is portrayed not as the authentic Jewish national movement but as a colonialist anti-Arab plot to split the Arab world "The colonial powers regarded the Zionist Movement as the means for the attainment of their greedy colonial aspirations and saw Palestine as the base for the setting up of a Jewish state, thus tearing the Arab Homeland asunder and imposing their rule on it in order to exploit its natural resources. The European colonial powers spread the idea of Zionism among the Jews?." .
The difference between Zionism and Imperialism
Zionism Imperialism
Zionism is not linked to land or country Colonies are an extension of the motherland
A tool for establishing a non-existent State A tool and means for serving a state which exists in effect
Believes in the elimination of the original inhabitants Imperialistic behavior has not gone as far as the elimination of original inhabitants.
Settlement based on the foundation of false religious and historical rights Based on foundations of economic interests.
Furthermore, Israel's legitimacy is denied from the first international recognition until today "the Balfour Declaration is regarded as illegal?"
Israel is still called "occupied Palestine."
Denial of Religious History When the school books discuss sites of religious, historical, archaeologicaland tourist interest, Muslim as well as Christian sites are included but not Jewish. Even the Jews' connection to the remnant of their holiest site, the Western Wall of the Temple, is denied "The Jews claim that this is one of the places belonging to them and call it "The Western Wall", but this is not so."
"Jerusalem I have many Islamic holy places and antiquities. This is al-Aqsa Mosque and this is the Dome of the Rock...To the west of the holy mosque you can see a vast stone wall called 'al-Buraq Wall', to which the angel Gabriel, peace be upon him, tied the beast of the Prophet Muhammad on the night of his journey ...
As for my Christian holy places - the most famous of them are 'The Church of al-Qiama' , next to the mosque of 'Umar ibn al Khatab, and the church of 'al-Juthmana' opposite al-Isbat Gate, outside the wall.
Questions ... Write down the names of the Islamic holy places in Jerusalem. Write down the names of the Christian holy places in Jerusalem.
"The importance of Palestine arises from the fact that Allah has chosen it to be the centre of religions. It is the place where the Nazarene, 'Jesus the son of Mary, peace be upon him, was born and it is the place to which Muhammad, the prayer of Allah and peace be upon him, was made to journey? Thousands of Christians come to Palestine in order to perform their religious duties ?"
"Tourists from all over the world come to Palestine to visit its holy religious places... Muslims come to visit the first Qibla ?. Christians come to visit Bethlehem, the birthplace of the Lord Messiah and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem...
Creation of Palestinian History After erasing and ignoring Jewish history in Israel, it is replaced by the creation of an ancient Palestinian history" "Dear pupil, do you know who the Palestinians are? The Palestinian people are descended from the Canaanites."
To create a connection to Jerusalem before it was Israel's capital, the school books teach that the inhabitants of Jerusalem before the Jews were Arabs "Jerusalem is an ancient Arab city, built by the Jebusite Arabs before Islam... "

Call to Fight Israel The calls to fight and eliminate Israel through Jihad (Holy War) and Martyrdom for Allah, appear frequently in the PA school books. In addition there is a separate recurring theme the children are taught to fight and conquer Israel's capital, Jerusalem."Know, my son, that Palestine is your country? that its pure soil is drenched with the blood of Martyrs? Why must we fight the Jews and drive them out of our land?"
"?there will be a Jihad and our country shall be freed. This is our story with the thieving conquerors. You must know, my boy, that Palestine is your grave responsibility..."

Therefore Jihad and sacrificeare a duty ... are we to let them steal its Arab nature? Draw your sword? let us gather for war with red blood and blazing fire?Death shall call and the sword shall be crazed from much slaughter? Oh Palestine, the youth will redeem your land?"

From Jerusalem I shall build my ladder towards eternity."? "The Muslim connects the holiness of al-Aqsa Mosque, and its precincts, with the holiness of the 'Sacred Mosque' and Mecca. Therefore, any aggression against one is an aggression against the other and to defend them is to defend Islam itself. Disregard of the duty in respect of them is a crime for which Allah will punish every believer in God and His Prophet."
"Fill in the appropriate word from among the following they, he, she ______ is the commander of the Muslim forces in the capture of Jerusalem."
The need to fight Israel, all of which is said to be on "occupied Arab land" becomes a religious imperative, with teachings like the following "? if the enemy has conquered part of its land and those fighting for it are unable to repel the enemy, then Jihad becomes the individual religious duty of every Muslim man and woman, until the attack is successfully repulsed and the land liberated from conquest and to defend Muslim honor..."
Impending Victory of Islam and the Arabs Over Israel and the West. Finally, the children are assured through their books that the victory of Islam and the Arabs over the Jews, Israel, and all religions are preordained eventualities "Know, my son, that Palestine is your country... that its pure soil is drenched with the blood of martyrs ? Just as this sacred soil returned to its owners , so will it return again thorough your courage and determination?"
"Our brothers in Arab and Muslim countries felt the danger threatening us and joined with us in a noble Jihad... until the Nation recruits its forces and there will be a Jihad and our country shall be freed, by Allah's will."
? "Remember The final and inevitable result will be the victory of the Muslims over the Jews.
"This religion will defeat all other religions and it will be disseminated, by Allah's will, through the Muslim Jihad fighters."
In the present period, which exceeds all previous periods in the material and scientific advances taking place, social, psychological and medical scientists in the West are perplexed by the worrying increase in the number of people suffering from nervous disorders... and the statistics from America in this matter are a clear indication of this?There is no escape from a new civilization? The Western world is not capable of fulfilling this role?There is only one nation capable of discharging this task and that is our nation ... We do not claim that the collapse of Western civilization, and the transfer of the center of civilization to us will happen in the next decade or two or even in fifty years, for the rise and fall of civilizations follow natural processes... Nevertheless has begun to collapse and to become a pile of debris.G. Israel's capital, Jerusalem, is called the capital of the "State of Palestine"
The Palestinian Authority school books teach their children that an independent "State of Palestine" already exists, independence day is celebrated yearly, and Israel's capital Jerusalem, is said to be the capital of "Palestine". Some examples"The Capital of Palestine
Jihad asked the teacher What is our capital?
The teacher Jerusalem is our capital.
Jihad Does it have other names?
The teacher Yes. The blessed soil?
Questions What is our capital?
Write Jerusalem Our Capital.""Exercise Distinguish between verb and noun clauses
'The land is our land and Jerusalem is ours.'"
"Determine what is the subject, and what is the predicate, in the following sentences 'Jerusalem is Arab.'"
"Muntasar paid a visit to Jerusalem... Jerusalem I am an ancient city, thousands years old. I occupy a mountain plateau in the center of Palestine..."
"The Proclamation of the Palestinian State At the nineteenth gathering of the Palestinian National Council in Algiers it declared of a document proclaiming Palestinian independence. The following are extracts from this document
The Palestinian National Council declares in the name of Allah and the Palestinian nation the establishment of the state of Palestine on our Palestinian land whose capital is Jerusalem?"
"The second section will the general terms and administrative and legal institutions? in the State of Palestine."
"The Greedy Designs of the Jews in Jerusalem" "The Jews have clear greedy designs on Jerusalem. They believe that their state is not complete without Jerusalem as its capital, which is what they claim. The proof of this is that their Minister of Defense declared on the third day of the war of 1967, together with the Prime Minister, when both of them were standing by "al-Buraq", which they call the Western Wall 'We have returned to you, Jerusalem, and we shall never part from you again. You are not just the capital of "Israel", but the capital of the entire Jewish People.'?
Thus do the Jews conspire, before the eyes and ears of the Arabs and the Muslims. What can we do to rescue Jerusalem and to liberate it from the thieving enemy?? P. 96, 99]Palestinian Authority Television Israeli cities are presented as Palestinian cities on PA TV, as well. A young girl recited this on a children's program
"?The land is my land here is my house and I will build it? with my blood I shall water it? Haifa and Jaffa and the land of Lod Jerusalem calls out and that's Acre calling for us? In the Galilee we have a sister whom we salute? and if Ashkelon calls out go find her? shall we neglect the Galilee and Beer Sheva?"
A girl accuses Israel, the reference being to Israel of 1948 and not to the West Bank and Gaza. "Do you know what happened in 1948? They took everything! They emptied the room, broke the houses, they set fire to the forests, they changed the names? my country's name is Palestine." 7. Israel's capital, Jerusalem, is called the capital of the "State of Palestine".II. Education to Jihad - Holy War and Martyrdom
Education to Jihad (Holy War) Palestinian Authority (PA) school books praise and encourage the waging of Jihad - Holy War."Jihad for Allah is one of the greatest commandments and duties of Islam, the purpose of which is to establish Allah's rule on Earth? Jihad is not an issue of need, necessary only at certain times, rather, it is an ever-present necessity which a Muslim society must never relinquish. Its abandonment brings weakness and humiliation and invites aggression."
Fighting is the highest level of Jihad "Jihad with of one's life This is by fighting enemies? This is the highest level of Jihad because the Jihad fighter sacrifices himself in accordance with Allah's way for the sake of his religion and to defend his nation...
The reward for Jihad "The reward for shooting an arrow for Allah covers not only the archer, but also him, who made the arrow, as well as him who handed it to the archer?"
"The Muslim believes in Allah and His Messenger and fights a Jihad for Allah with property and his life in order to please Allah and to earn a place in paradise on the day of resurrection? "
The punishment for shirking Jihad "These verses prove the superiority that is in Jihad for Allah's sake... and warned against evading a Jihad for Allah. ?and a warning to the Muslims not to defy His word nor refrain from Jihad..."
"Islam has forbidden flight from the battle and regards this as a grave sin.
Jihad is promoted not only in books on Islamic studies, but in grammar, literature and civic studies as well "Determine what is the subject, and what is the predicate, in the following sentences - The Jihad is a religious duty of every Muslim man and woman." Our Arabic Language for Fifth Grade. # 542, p. 167]Education to Martyrdom PA text books glorify Martyrdom as an ideal to be sought. The fortunate are those who are killed - reaching "Martyrdom".
"Martyrdom is when a Muslim is killed for the sake of Allah? A person who dies thus is called a "Martyr" ... Martyrdom for Allah is the hope of all those who believe in Allah and have trust in His promises? The Martyr rejoices in the paradise that Allah has prepared for him?
"The Muslim sacrifices himself for his faith and fights a Jihad for Allah. He does not know cowardice because he understands that the time of his death is already ordained and that his dying as a Martyr on the field of battle is preferable to dying in bed... "
"...Martyred Jihad fighters are the most honored people, after the Prophets?"
? "? competing with each other to achieve Martyrdom in the battle?"
"Martyrdom is life." Reading And Literary Texts for Tenth Grade - #607 p. 171]Numerous poems encourage the children to see themselves as future Jihad fighters seeking Martyrdom. Many school book poems have the word "Martyr" in their title, including the following poem which is in at least two grammar books and was broadcast three times recently on PA television, read by different children.
"Song of the Martyr
1 - I shall take my soul in my hand and hurl it into the abyss of death ?
5 - Upon your life, I see my death and am marching speedily towards it
6 - Upon your life, this is the death of men and he, who seeks an honorable death - this is that death."The students are instructed to "learn the following poems by heart", as well
? 'My Homeland'
?The youth will not tire,
They desire to be free or to perish
We draw our water from death
And we will not be as slaves to the enemy?
Our symbol is the 'sword' and the 'pen', but not 'words'...?"O Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, where there are truth and justice there shall we be found. Death pleases us and we refuse to be humbled. How sweet is death for Allah...."
This poem "We Are The Youth" expresses the same sentiment"We are the youth and tomorrow is ours?
We shall march on despite death
Onward, onward
We shall build, we shall not rely on others
We shall perish, but, we shall not be humbled?"
The Martyrs of the Intifada? ...They stoned with them , the wild animals of the way... They died standing, burning with excitement... Death attacked with raised pickaxe Facing death, they stood erect...
Grammar exercises likewise glorify Martyrdom "Write five lines on the virtues of the Martyrs and their superior status."The Jihad-Martyr concept is encouraged and glorified through many personal stories. The following are excerpts from a sixth grade school book "The first words the young boy heard were the words "Jihad", "attack" and "conquest"?These words were constantly on his lips?' Uqba grew up with the love of Jihad flowing through his veins and filling every fiber of his being.?... For him no joy equaled that of taking part in Jihad?Nothing gave him pleasure but the sight of swords and spears shining in the hands of the fighting horsemen. Nothing was pleasing to his ear but the sound of the horses charging into battle and nothing gave him joy but the sight of the enemy lying dead on the battlefield, or defeated and fleeing for their lives?Uqba showed heroism and courage ? attacking them from his horse and hacking the enemy soldiers to pieces, coming down on them blow after blow, crushing their skulls?

Peace "mr. humble",
There has been a confusion in terminlogy here. I always thought Jews meant NECESSARILY those who follow "judaism" but this is not so. Jews also refers to just a race and not all Jews beleive in "Judaism". The Quran condemns those religious Rabbis whove lead the ppl astray just as it condemns any form of priesthood. Plz refer to 262. GOD Bless!No it doesn't. Judaism is a religion were its adherents are called 'Jews'. You obviously did not know that. Jew is NO ethnicity letalone a nationality. Jews have no culture, language or traditions of their own. Hebrew is an Israelite language in the same way Arabic belongs to the Arabs from Arabia. Saying that Hebrew is a Jewish language is like saying that Arabic is a muslim language despite the fact that Arabic is a lot more older than Islam. If I convert to Judaism tomorrow I will be known as a Jew that's because I'm an adherent of Judaism. 'Jew' is no ethnicity or a nationality- That's only Western propaganda ment to justify the existence of Israel.
-
It is right. Jew (yahood) is a title of a member of a faith and the word basically means "near/attached"" which is to imply nearness to God. It has to do with their thinking of being chosen ones, but that was only for as long as they followed the covenant.
The word is supposed to be related to the semitic word, traditionally implying guidance while I claim that someone is near/affiliated (God).

Salamun alaikum.
When Qur?an addresses the ethnic group which believes them to be the descendants of Prophet Israel, Qur?an uses the term Children of Israel (Bani Israel). And there is absolutely no derogatory remark about the Bani Israel in Qur?an.
When Qur?an refers to a ?religious? group who became overly obsessed with form of their rituals and ignored the underlying substance or core teachings of the prophets / messengers ? it uses the term ?Those who reprented / alladina hadu?. Specifically referring to the followers of Torah who acted like that the term ?Yahudi? has been used. Much of the harsh words used upon alladina hadu and yahudi in Qur?an are now equally applicable upon those who call themselves ?Muslim? but are walking virtually the same path of their yahudi predecessors.
It is very common to confuse between Bani Israel and Yahudi ? because there is a very strong overlap between these two groups. But the distinction is quite clear ? the first one is an ethnic group, the second one is a religious group. The harsh words directed towards the Yahudi corresponds to their faulty religious practices and beliefs, not their ethnicity. And Qur?an is remarkably meticulous in keeping this distinction.
May Allah guide us all to the straight route.

Your above understanding is not supported by Jewish sources.
It is important to note that being a Jew has nothing to do with what you believe or what you do. A person born to non-Jewish parents who has not undergone the formal process of conversion but who believes everything that Orthodox Jews believe and observes every law and custom of Judaism is still a non-Jew, even in the eyes of the most liberal movements of Judaism, and a person born to a Jewish mother who is an atheist and never practices the Jewish religion is still a Jew, even in the eyes of the ultra-Orthodox. In this sense, Judaism is more like a nationality than like other religions, and being Jewish is like a citizenship.
