Abstract: This chapter analyses the position of Jews and Judaism in a new dialogic perspective. The first part defines Qur’anic terms that were frequently used to describe the Jewish population in Mecca and Medina. This part is followed by a discussion of the political and social circumstances that caused considerable tension between the Muslims and Jews in Medina. The chapter highlights the fact that the verses about Jews, like the other Qur’an verses, must be understood within the particular context, since all the verses were revealed in response to the existing circumstances at the time of their revelation. Based on those verses, together with other sources, including the Constitution of Medina. In fact, as the chapter points out, some of the verses speak directly to the Jews, reminding them of their promise to accept God’s messages. The chapter ends with an examination of their shared history, particularly in Medina. The chapter concludes with an examination of the present-day significance of the Qur’anic verses for Jewish-Muslim relations in the European context and the relevance of anti-Semitic education for Islamic religious education.

Abstract: The rise in antisemitic incidents across Europe has reached a new dimension through recent migration from predominantly Muslim countries. In public and media discourses, the role of imams and practicing Muslims has repeatedly come under scrutiny. This book explores the theological and historical foundations of Jewish–Muslim relations and examines attitudes shaped by Islamist thought toward Judaism, Jews, and the State of Israel. Using Austria as a case study, it presents qualitative interviews with 33 imams and 64 mosque attendees, whose statements are analyzed in accordance with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism.

Abstract: Die Zunahme antisemitischer Vorfälle in Europa hat durch die neue Zuwanderung aus islamischen Ländern in Europa eine neue Dimension erreicht. In den medialen Debatten wird immer wieder auf die Rolle von Imamen oder praktizierenden Muslim*innen in den Fokus der öffentlichen Debatte gerückt. Dieses Buch geht auf die theologischen und historischen Hintergründe der jüdisch-muslimischen Beziehungen ein und untersucht mögliche antisemitische Hintergründe der aktuellen antisemitischen Ausschreitungen in Europa, aber auch in islamischen Ländern. Dazu wurden am Beispiel Österreichs mit Imamen und Moscheebesucher*innen gesprochen und ihre Aussagen analysiert.
