Abstract:
Discusses the Muslim myth of peaceful coexistence with Jews in Arab lands from the Middle Ages until the establishment of the State of Israel and the Jewish myth that the Muslims always persecuted Jews, arguing that neither of these is correct. Notes that the Jews' dhimmi status provided protection of life and property, exemption from conversion, and communal autonomy throughout most of the medieval period, in exchange for special taxes and recognition of Islamic superiority. While there were some anti-Jewish laws, they were often not enforced, and Muslims did not look for excuses to attack Jews, as did Christians. States that Islamic antisemitism in the modern period is a result of colonialism, since the Jews often identified with the European colonialists, as well as of Arab nationalism in the 19th century and the emergence of Islamist movements in response to modernization forced upon Arab countries by the Europeans. In the 20th century, Arabs came to feel that Zionism was another form of European colonialism. They never experienced an enlightenment or a modern scientific revolution, which could have led to more liberal rule and acceptance of Jews as equals. Instead, a new Muslim antisemitism has developed, under the influence of Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda of the 1940s, and as a result of the establishment of the State of Israel. Discusses the popularity among Muslims of "The Protocols", as well as verses in the Qur'an which are considered antisemitic.
