"There is no enmity between Muslims and Jews"- Yusuf al-Qaradhawi

Picture of an orthodox Jews.
World renowned Islamic scholar Sheikh Yusuf Al Qaradhawi has denied any enmity between Muslims and Jews, asserting that Muslims are only opposed to the hostile, expansionist Zionist movement.

In his recent meeting with Rabbis (A scholar qualified to interpret Jewish law) , the anti-Zionist movement Neturei Karta, he noted that for centuries Jewish citizens were living in peace and harmony in Muslims country. Even they were the wealthiest in many Muslims country.

The relation between Muslims and Jews are strained because of the emergence of Zionism and the establishment of Israel on the rubble of Palestine.

There are differences between Jews and Zionist. Judaism, which is based on the true teachings of Torah, does not recognize Zionism. Meanwhile,Zionism is an international political movement that spearheaded the creation of a homeland for the Jewish People in Palestine.

Muslims and Jews are agree in many rituals and religious practices such as male circumcision, Halal slaughtering, banning pork and prohibiting any statutes inside mosques.

In my opinion, there should more dialogues between Muslims and the Jews to avoid prejudices and improve relations between the two.
