seriously, why do muslims hate jews? & do jews hate muslims just as much?
now this is a generalized question, and i am POSITIVE that not all muslims hate jews and vice versa. however, i have seen a lot of hate videos of muslim "preachers" (sorry, don't know the correct term) expressing how much muslims hate jews and how bad jews are. i have not seen any jewish videos along this line, but perhaps they also feel this way about muslims. so i guess, 1) why do muslims hate jews so much? 2) what started this hatred? 3) do jews hate muslims just as much? 4) do jews broadcast this hatred somewhere that i have just never seen? seriously, i am just very curious as to how all this started....
wow! did i start a debate or what? okay, just a couple of things....Sen B, if you check out the link from ru.jokin, and assuming these are indeed taken from muslim scripture, then yes Muslims are taught to hate jews. next, what i am actually looking for is the original reason, which nacsez seems to have answered. what i am gathering is that this started it all and the animosity grew from there. did the muslim religion begin with mohammed? or did he just take the religion and push it towards hating the jews even more? i wish i knew more about both religions, so please forgive my ignorance on the subject, me being a deist and all...
and also Sen B, i can perfectly understand why both religions would hate each other. it seems the majority of both attack each other constantly. it's almost like gang activity. no one remembers the animosity that started it all, but we will hate each other and hurt each other until death no matter what....
okay guys, here is the video that first sparked my curiosity
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWERS!
Sen B - thanx for the videos, i have never seen any taped mistreatment of the muslims like that before. at least there is proof this this is not one-sided. a human shield! how horrible!
Sen B - you're killing me here! my link was simply to show what sparked my curiosity. i pointed out the ru jokin's link because it had excerpts from muslim religious scriptures that indicate that hatred of jews is taught. i know i am ignorant of both faiths, which is why i asked the question in the first place, to try to cure some of that ignorance. i don't doubt at all that muslims have just as much reason as jews for the animosity that currently exists between them. i simply wanted to know how it all started. please don't be offended. i am simply trying to learn here, which is what i believe this site is for.
wolfkare - your link was very informative! lots of facts! loved the timeline! thank you!

the Muslims believe the Jews to be the decedents of the illegitimate child of their prophet Abraham. the Jews believe themselves to be the decedents of Abraham through his legitimate child. Ishmael and Issac. Muslims and Jews. Jews hate the fact that they have been persecuted by the Babylonians (current day Iran) and Egyptians for millennia. The Muslims are pissed cause the Jews killed a bunch of Palestinians and took "Arab land" from them and one of their holy cities. a great deal of animosity stems from Jerusalem. its all just too jumbled up by now.... its history and doctrine which pits these two peoples against each other.
edit: wow... what a video. thats quite frightening. and people wonder why the Jews feel persecuted? i cant help but wonder what The Prophet feels like the Jews did to him to warrent such punishment....

you got it wrong. its not muslims, it's people from palestine that hate jews. Palestine was an MuslimArab/ChristainArab country. When Jews came to Palestine, they moved the Arabs away to literally a small line strip of the country only. Jews took over the majority of the country and renamed it Israel/changed the flag to the jewish symbol. Til this day, Arabs(palestine) and jews still fight over the land. Palestine doesn't have anything to protect themselves, since jews are still planing to take the WHOLE country. So you can't really say Muslims hate Jews. you have to break it down

Islam and Muslims have nothing against Jews, Christians or any Faith or Race. But as Muslims we hate the zionist movement because it is built upon racist principles and in Islam we believe in the equality of all people. I assure you if there were Muslim zionists, We would hate them just as much. As for your question about why Muslims don't seem to really care about their brothers in China... 1.If you new one thing about Islam you would have known that Palestine is one of the most sacred places in our religion, so we would naturally feel more concerned about our brothers there and people invading it. 2.The case of our brothers in China doesn't get nearly as much media coverage... Maybe we retaliate against the ZIONISTS because they are the most people that "pick on us"... If they treat muslims equally why do they slaughter Muslims each and every day in Gaza? Why don't they let the Palestinians have their own state? The truth is that ZIONISM treats no one equally, not just Muslims.

Most Jews seem to try to defend Muslims actually...though most Muslims truly dislike them.

it started when the brits decided to change palestine into a jewish state and continued , so it's anti israeli government which kills off civilians , not jews who worship the same God .
i've met good jews , good people who take care of their families and went out of their way to be extra nice to me inspite of my being muslim , i've also seen jews who decided to say a few unpleasant words to me as i was walking in their western countries ,daring to with my arab features and islamic hijab.
i was never taught to hate people because of their religion or ethnic background as an arab muslim , but we are aware of what the israeli government has done to the palestinian civilians including the massacares. we are also aware of the jewish terrorists who barged into the mosque in jerusalem at the time of prayer to kill off muslims and the many jewish extremist rabbis who call to kill all muslims whom they call pagans, snakes and other names. you just won't see it on fox news or zionist controlled western media because being anti muslim is the only way to stay on top.
you can google it any time and see how they equate muslims with hitler and nazis, you can also check the religious warriors christiane amanpour on cnn a few months ago when the extremist jews mentioned a bit of what they had against muslims.
i still think iran . syria and hezbollah are worse enemies for islam and muslims than israel will ever be and have been fueling the israeli palestinian conflict even more than ever, maybe the peace talks would work better if there was no outside inerference from terrorist organizations with different agendas.
this is what many people i know say about the jewish muslim conflict , not to kill all jews or that all jews are bad and should be hated.

Because they killed Arabs ten times the number of Jews that Hitler killed during the world war II

This is the age old battle between Ishmael and Isaac. Ishmael was the first born but Isaac received the promise.
Abram should have waited for God, instead of taking his wife's advice. Shalom.

I don't hate Jews a lot. I mainly hate Zionists because they and the UN stole Palestine from the Muslims and oppressing the Palestine Christians and Palestine Muslims and are raping innocent Muslim women in their jails in Israel.
