Much of what we know today about how Islam views Jews comes from news sources reporting from areas of political conflict. But what does Islam really have to say about Jews? And about Judaism? This 6 session course will present students with a more in depth discussion of and analysis of Islamic materials relevant to this issue. We will look at a variety of topics including: the Qur’an on Jews and Judaism; the portrayal of Jews in the classical and later Islamic sources; the relationship between Muhammad and the Jews of Medina; medieval polemics against Jews; legal rulings on Jews and Judaism; and modern Muslim antisemitism.
