Is it true that many Muslims believe that the Jewish people are evil?

I don't mean particular Jewish actions or government or leaders but that the Jewish people as a whole are evil?

Update:

It's just that I heard someone expounding that view on the radio this morning

Update 2:

Would prefer to hear from Muslims

Update 3:

I agree that Hitler was an Occultist but Nietzche was not anti-semetic his work was manipulated by his sister after his death

What Europe owes to the Jews?—Many things, good and bad, and above all one thing of the nature both of the best and the worst: the grand style in morality, the fearfulness and majesty of infinite demands, of infinite significations, the whole Romanticism and sublimity of moral questionableness—and consequently just the most attractive, ensnaring, and exquisite element in those iridescences and allurements to life, in the aftersheen of which the sky of our European culture, its evening sky, now glows—perhaps glows out. For this, we artists among the spectators and philosophers, are—grateful to the Jews.

    Lol, no, of course not. Now, unfortunately, in every place on the earth exists those who aren't quite fully there upstairs if you know what I mean. These people exist in every nation, religion, race, creed, you name it, and Muslim and the Arab world are not exempt. There are some that hate them simply because of who they are, but it is neither an Islamic belief nor is it shared with all who share the same background. There are particular Jews who are considered evil in the minds of most Muslims because of their actions, but certainly not because of who they are. In Islam, God tells us that absolutely no one knows the eternal destiny of a certain person, because none of us have the same capabilities as He; to know what is in a person's heart and what the state of his mind is. These are what God judges us by, so only he has that power to do so. We are told to treat all equitably no matter what the religion or nationality or race, and to fight only in defense of ourselves or to fight an oppressive ruler, and we are told not to transgress because God does not love the transgressors. God also tells us in the Quran

    49:13 O men! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, God is all-knowing, all-aware.

    He says he divided us so that we can know and understand one another, rather than compete and fight against one another.

    Yes, many Muslim groups do believe that the Jews are evil. However, moderate Muslims are said to not share this belief.

    Also, Hitler was not a Christian. I wish people would stop making that erroneous claim. Hitler was an occultist who was greatly inspired by both Friedrich Nietzsche and Charles Darwin. Nietzsche, a known anti-Semite, claimed that God was dead, and that humans had advanced beyond the need for God. Darwin claimed, in "The Origin of the Species" that people of color, Jews, and women in general, were not as evolved as white men. There is nothing Christian about these philosophies.

    There have been, and are, "Christian" organizations that are anti-Semitic. However, all legitimate Christian denominations denounce these groups and all anti-Semitic belief systems.

    I haven't heard of any "fundamentalist" Christians blowing up Muslims or Jews. But I do hear almost every day of fundamentalist Muslims blowing up Jews and Christians.

    One more thing, this is how the Crusades started- Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land were being massacred by the Arabs there. The king of France sent knights to protect those pilgrims. The Arab attacks continued and the situation elevated into a full scale war.

    Please, people, read your history and get your facts straight.

    Not all Muslims are anti-Semitic or they will be against themselves. Only fundamentalists in Christianity and Islam believe that all Jewish people are evil, which is a myth. I feel personally that at the moment there is a push amongst fundamentalist Christians to engage in another crusade (massacre) against Muslims throughout the world and vice versa.

    Yes you are correct, and not only that but you know you are correct , so why did you feel it necessary to ask this question?

    Both you and I know this situation has been 'ongoing' for generations! I am an atheist, which only means that I do not believe in God I do however believe it is the right of all to practise their own religion, if it gives them comfort, and doesn't interfere with my lack of belief, I don't have much time for people who try to force their particular brand of religion down my throat !

    I haven't worked out your motive for asking this question but it certainly cant be a way to foster world peace can it?

    Anti-semitisim has been alive and well, not just with the Muslim community, but also between Christian communities (i.e. The Spanish Inquisition, or Hitler's Final Solution).

    Personally, I couldn't understand the reasoning for anti-semitism.

    Here's a Wikipedia article on Anti-Semitism:

    It is clearly written in the Koran that if your not Islamic or muslim you are an enemy or evil. My 2 cents is that this is a real sad religion, they want to kill us when we (Christians) wants to love them... Their mission is to make the world entirely Islamic, that is the reason why we can see so many muslim immigrants all around the world, they will live poorly, making lots of babies to dominate the world in years to come. The best example would be France, this country is almost Islamic now due to massive muslim immigrants.

    most muslims when they speak of evil jews they mean the tyranny of the Israelis.

    i'm a muslim and i have nothing against the good and honest jewish people.

    and there are many jews who oppose israel and the way they treat their arab neighbors.

    Yes it is true. Don't stop there though. Anyone that isn't following the will of Allah is evil, so it's not limited to Jews.
