Muslims, Christians and Antisemitism

Antisemitism is in the news. It’s a very sensitive topic and difficult to write about - this took me several weeks which is why it’s rather long! The blog focuses on how some Christians see Islam as being inherently antisemitic - especially in its texts - and therefore being a driver of terrorism and more. But how do Muslims interpret those texts and why aren’t all Muslims antisemitic terrorists? And what is Christianity’s track record on antisemitism? Christians need to be careful in how they speak about Islam and antisemitism if they want to gain a hearing for their own faith and avoid possibly convincing impressionable Muslims that the only way to be a good Muslim is to hate Jews.
