MUSLIM TEXTS TEACH ANTI-JEWISHNESS

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

“As to when there will be peace with Israel? Never, according to the schoolbooks,” per Jerusalem Post’s Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook.
Instead of teaching Muslim children that one day there could be peace between Muslims and Jews, the school texts instruct just the opposite.

“Anyone who hopes for peace should be horrified by the content of the latest set of Palestinian schoolbooks. In many respects, these new books for Grade 12, written by Fatah-appointed Palestinian educators, are the worst of the textbooks produced by the Palestinian Authority since 2000.”

Interestingly, this is in keeping with most evangelical understanding of biblical prophecy, that is, that there is no man-made peace in the Middle East. The biblical students conclude that peace will come to the Middle East only when the Prince of Peace, Christ, returns in His Second Advent. Then He will establish a global holy reign, ruling both politics and religion from the Holy City, Jerusalem.
Until then, war will escalate in the Middle East, primarily between the ancestors of Ishmael and Isaac.


Ishmael started the line of Arabs. Isaac started the line of Hebrews. Ishmael was the illegitimate child of Abraham and servant girl, Hagar. Isaac was “the child of promise” born to Abraham and Sarah after they had passed child bearing age.
Now these Palestinian Authority texts foster increased tension between present-day “Ishmael” and “Isaac,” just as the two men fought one another as recorded in the Book of Genesis.

“These newest books deny Israel’s right to exist, anticipate its destruction and define the conflict with Israel as religious, not merely territorial.
“Israel’s right to exist is denied and Israel’s founding is called a theft: ‘Palestine’s war ended with a catastrophe that is unprecedented in history, when the Zionist gangs stole Palestine and expelled its people from their cities, their villages, their lands and their houses, and established the State of Israel’ (Arabic Language, Analysis, Literature and Criticism, grade 12, p. 104). Israel is called: ‘the Zionist entity,’ and ‘Zionist Enemy.’ Israel’s existence since 1948 is an ‘occupation’ (ibid pp. 104, 122).”

Is there then, according to the Muslim texts, any hope for the future? Yes. It is the hope that Muslims will extinguish the Jews from the planet. Other than that, all will be war. Israel will be destroyed. Palestinians will find their eventual freedom due to the disappearance of the Jews.

Biblical prophecy states nothing of the sort. Instead, New Testament prophecy, especially in the apostle Paul’s Letter to the Romans, holds that there will be a genuine spiritual revival among the Jews when they recognize Jesus as the true Messiah. Paul prays for his own people that even in the first century that revival will start.

Today we witness Jews for Jesus, messianic Jews, and evangelistic agencies given over to convince Jews via the Holy Spirit that Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah / Christ.

The Muslim texts “anticipate this future destruction of Israel by painting a picture for the Palestinian child of a world in which Israel already does not exist. The place of Israel is marked as ‘Palestine’ on all maps, and ‘Palestine’ is defined as a dawla - the Arabic word for state,’ not a geographical region.
“This ‘state’ is said to have water access to both the Mediterranean and the Red seas, a situation possible only in a world without Israel. (Physical Geography and Human Geography, grade 12, p. 105) Likewise, the size of ‘Palestine,’ the ‘state,’ is said to be more than 10,000 sq. km., a situation possible only if Israel does not exist, since the West Bank and Gaza Strip together total only 6,220 sq. km.
“Because Israel has no right to exist, and must be fought and destroyed for Islam, violence and terror against Israel since its founding are justified and glorified as muqawama, resistance.”

Such texts go hand-in-hand with television programming for Muslim children in which Jews are called “pigs” and “descendants of monkeys.” Muslim boys and girls are taught from birth that the Jews are anathema, must be eliminated, and are enemies to Allah. Therefore, generation upon generation, Muslims are instructed that the chief plague on the planet is embodied in the Jews.

“It is clear that the newest PA schoolbooks are a tragic recipe for incessant war. Israel is presented as an illegitimate enemy to be hated, fought and destroyed. Even the most well meaning student is left with no justification or religious option to accept Israel as a neighbor to live beside in peace.”

ALLAH: “Fight, slay Unbelievers wherever ye find them.Seize them, beleaguer them, lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war.”
Qur’an, Sura 9:5

CHRIST: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

  1. Thanks for your very well texted post. Now let's live in a world where Muslims stop calling people (Jews) Sons of pigs and monkeys, no homicide bombers, planes into buildings, slavery of black people in sudan, murdering of people in the name of Allah in ...

    India and the Sudan and Algeria and Afghanistan and New York and Pakistan and Israel and Russia and Chechnya and the Philippines and Indonesia and Nigeria and England and Thailand and Spain and Egypt and Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia and Ingushetia and Dagestan and Turkey and Kabardino-Balkaria and Morocco and Yemen and Lebanon and France and Uzbekistan and Gaza and Tunisia and Kosovo and Bosnia and Mauritania and Kenya and Eritrea and Syria and Somalia and California and Argentina and Kuwait and Virginia and Ethiopia and Iran and Jordan and United Arab Emirates and Louisiana and Texas and Tanzania and Germany and Australia and Pennsylvania and Belgium and Denmark and East Timor and Qatar and Maryland and Tajikistan and the Netherlands and Scotland and Chad and Canada and China .
