Antisemitism: Part IV: Arab Antisemitism vs. Christian Antisemitism: Intro
Summary:
In today's episode, we explored the relationship between Jews and Muslims throughout history, particularly under traditional Islamic rule. We discussed how Jews, while being second-class citizens, were granted certain rights and protections that allowed them to coexist with their Muslim neighbors. We also touched on the fact that, unlike Christianity, Islam didn't see Judaism as a significant rival, which shaped the way Jewish communities were treated. Instead of hatred or fear, the Jewish experience was often marked by a kind of condescending tolerance that could turn into repression if boundaries were crossed.
