Many Americans have been led to believe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a conflict over land when it is a religious conflict rooted in Quranic doctrine; a doctrine consumed with Jew hatred throughout its numerous passages.

The formation of Islam began with Mohammad in 610 A.D. in the city of Mecca where he attempted to convince the local pagan population he was sent by God to be his messenger.  During his time in Mecca his messages were relatively peaceful as demonstrated in the following verses: 

“You cannot guide those you would like to but God guides those He wills.  He has the best knowledge of the guided.” (Quran/28:56); “God does not forbid you from being good to those who have not fought you in the religion or driven you from your homes, or from being just towards them.  God loves those who are just.” (Surat al-Mumtahana,8);

Nevertheless, his messages were received with resentment by a population of idol worshippers.  He and a few of his followers were driven out of town and forced to flee to Medina where he gained a following with the aid of the three residing Jewish tribes (the Qurayzah) who falsely assumed their financial aid given to him would protect them from the fate meted out to others.

Mohammed’s attempts to mollify the Medina Jews resulted in a series of conciliatory passages that contradict the vast majority of Quranic references to Jews: “O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and that I made you excel the nations.” (Muslims try to explain away these through the Doctrine of Abrogation, which nullifies certain passages in the “perfect” Quran, something not required by either the Old or New Testaments.)

In fact, while in Medina, Mohammad and his followers were reported to have pillaged villages while raping and capturing the women to be used as sex slaves, and although the three Jewish tribes feared him, they continued to cling to their Judaism.  As a result, in 627, a mere five years after Muhammad arrived in Medina, he oversaw the beheading of approximately 900 Jewish men in the marketplace on trumped-up charges of conspiring with the enemy.  The captured Jewish women became sex slaves, and their children were taken into slavery.

Thus, it is worth noting, the refusal of Jews some 1400 years ago to accept Mohammad as a prophet has enshrined Islam with contempt and Jew hatred for all of eternity. The Quran stipulates that Jews were rebellious disbelievers to the teachings of Allah and that they sinned against him.  It can be found in the following passage:

“Those among the children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed.  That was because they disobeyed Allah and the Messengers and were transgressing beyond bounds.” Quran 5:78-82

Throughout the Quran Jews are depicted as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the wellbeing of all Muslims.  

“They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims” (5:82) “They fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah” (2:79; 3:75, 3:181) “They disobey Allah and never observe his commands” (5:13) “Hiding the truth and misleading people” (3:78); “Staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance” (2:55); “Giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad” (2:87).
