There is this article in Malaysiakini, written by a Muslim
Is the Quran hostile to Jews and Christians?, by LEENA EL-ALI
I would answer it with a yes, due to it's adherents committing round about
14,000 acts of violence since Sept 11, 2001 . Why ? I will not dwell on the
violent verses and abrogations , for there are many which are hostile to the Jews and Christians, as I do not want to muddle the picture. The author tries her utmost to obfuscate. The very use of the 'out of context' term by itself is is obfuscating which means the author is trying to obfuscate a problem with extraneous information. 'She', I assume that author is a 'she'. She goes to great lenghths talking about the Jews and Christians being the 'people of the book', right? She talks about the the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ, very slick on her part.
She then insults the Christians by saying, yes she is insulting, as her article is addressed to Christians and other believers, "There is a theological difference with Christian belief: Jesus is a highly regarded prophet, rather than God's son. Still, the overall message is of coexistence, not division". Yeah right, whatever it is , he is the Son of God, not a Prophet as stated by her, that is insulting and blasphemous to Christians.
She then says, "If we listen to its words with an open mind, we might be reassured - if not left in awe - by its resonant and familiar message".
Okay I am going talk about "Enmity towards the Jews and Christians, 17 times a day". These are daily prayers, reciting "The Key" in Arabic unifies all Submitters of the world, regardless of their languages. A total of seven verses, look at the seventh…. . SIRAATAL LAZINA AN`AMTA `ALAYHIM; GHAYRIL MAGHDOOBI `ALAYHIM WALADDAALEEN (the path of those whom You blessed; not of those who have deserved wrath, nor of the strayers).
1:7 صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّين
The path of those whom you have blessed, not of those who have deserved anger, nor of those who stray.
Submission OrgOkay, Who is this addressed to ? This: The way of those upon whom You have bestowed Your grace, not (that) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray).
These two paths are the paths of the Christians and Jews, a fact that the believer should beware of so that he avoids them. The path of the believers is knowledge of the truth and abiding by it. In comparison, the Jews abandoned practicing the religion, while the Christians lost the true knowledge. This is why `anger' descended upon the Jews, while being described as `led astray' is more appropriate of the Christians. Those who know, but avoid implementing the truth, deserve the anger, unlike those who are ignorant. The Christians want to seek the true knowledge, but are unable to find it because they did not seek it from its proper resources.
This is why they were led astray. We should also mention that both the Christians and the Jews have earned the anger and are led astray, but the anger is one of the attributes more particular of the Jews. Allah said about the Jews, (Those (Jews) who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath) (5:60). The attribute that the Christians deserve most is that of being led astray, just as Allah said about them,
Source:TafsirThey do this 17 times a day during their prayers. Okay now, is not the asking of wrath upon Jews and Christians by itself not the instillation of enmity in the hearts of the "believers", 17 times a day, not hostility, I ask? The Christians pray the 'Lord's Prayer' an extract, " …forgive us of our sins as we forgive those who trespass aginst us". I forgive you, Leena El-Ali for your trangressions against the Jews and Christians, which was lying. When we pray, we do not seek the wrath of God on others. Anti semitism and hate is part of your prayer. You should not ask," Is the Quran hostile to Jews and Christians?" It is in the psyche, to be an anti semite even in prayers.... When it is you who are the problem!
Marina's excuse for anti semitism . Here is a better take of
Islam's tolerance of other religions from the mouth of an Arab .
