Why are Judaism and Islam at war?

Answer 1

Jews and Muslims have never had primarily religious quarrels. The issues they tend to fight over are political such as control of land and applicable governmental laws. Therefore not every Jew hates every Muslim and the reverse is also false. One should also note that a proper Jew and a proper Muslim should show reverence to the practices of the other as explained by the principles of Noahide and Ahl Al-Kitaab respectfully.

The first Jew-Muslim confrontation was during the Wars between Mecca and Medina at Islam's origin, about 620s CE. Some Jewish Tribes made alliances with Mohammed and others made alliances with those who wished to thwart him. These battles were about controlling the Arabian Peninsula in a political and mercantile fashion and had nothing to do with faith (as opposed to say the Thirty Years War in Europe which was about faith.) To read more about these Jewish-Muslim confrontations, see the Related Question below.

Jews assisted Muslims in their conquests throughout the Rise of Islam period. A great example of this was when the Muslims captured the city of Cordoba. They approached the Jewish community, gave them weapons, and asked them to be the stewards of the city until the Conquest of Spain was complete.

Aside from occasional pogroms (which happened far less in the Muslim World than in Europe), Jews and Muslims had minimal confrontation in Islamic Empires. The major confrontations began again during the Rise of Arab Nationalism in the Arab World. (There were not enough Jews in India or Indonesia to be bothered by those countries' nationalistic movements.) Arab Nationalism made a link between Arab Identity and Muslim Practice. This alienated Jews, Christians, and other minority religions from really participating.

The anti-Semitic nature of Arab Nationalism was only increased when Nazism became prominent in Europe. Arab Nationalists opposed British and French Imperialism and saw the Nazis (who also opposed British and French interests) as an ally and ideological equivalent. As a result of the increasing Anti-Semitism, many Jews in the Arab World felt uncomfortable and a small wealthy minority of them were bullied, stolen from, and executed.

Another political bone of contention was the establishment of the State of Israel. The Arab-Israeli Wars, which are primarily a political confrontation, put Jews (who consider the State of Israel to be part of their ethnic identity) and Arab Nationalism (considered by most Muslims to be a political extension of Arab ethnic identity) against each other.

Muslim attacks against Zionism were and are still construed as attacks on Jewish identity and Jewish attacks against the Palestinian People and their rights were and are still construed as attacks against Muslim and Arab identities. Each attack (either verbal or physical) would inflame the other party to act more aggressively and to reach out less. As a result, there remain bitter tensions between the Jewish and Muslim communities because of these political struggles.

Answer 2

There is a conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. It is a land conflict, not a religious one. However, because of this conflict, there may be a tension between the two religious groups, but this tension is not necessarily true among all. There are many Jews and Muslims working together, not only to resolve this issue, but in everyday tasks.

Answer 3

Judaism is not at war with Islam or vice versa; it's the followers of the respective religions that are. It's also not because of their respective faiths but because of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

Answer 4

All God religions should not lead to conflicts as in priinciple they all call to worship God as the one and only one God with neither a partner nor an associate and all God religions call for same morals and same one-to-one behavior principles. However, main differences between Islam and Judaism are:

• Muslims believe in all God prophets including Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Ishmael, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, ..., Jesus, and Muhammad. Jews believe in all prophets except Jesus and Muhammad.
• Muslims believe in all God holy books including Psalms, Torah, The Bible, and Quran. Jews don't believe in Quran.
• There are other differences in ritual worships and what is forbidden to eat and what is allowed.

The above shows that both religions are different only in some faith issues that are regarding the relationship between yourself and your God which is a matter to be resolved by God on the Day of Judgment. However, both religions are quite similar in all issues regarding relationships among all people. In reality, there are no differences between the two religions regarding the way that people of different religions should treat each other. This, logically and spiritually, calls all people to live together in love, peace, and harmony regardless their different religions or beliefs.

Answer 6

If you're asking about one religion splitting off from another (like the way that Christianity came from what had been a group of Jews), it never happened with Judaism and Islam. Islam began among non-Jews and has remained that way.
