Mohammed set the example for anti-Semitism. The oldest extant biography of Muhammad, that of Ibn Ishaq, as narrated by Ibn Hisham, is replete with the Prophet’s manifest hatred of Jews. He had individual Jews murdered if he felt they had offended or disobeyed him in some way. When Muhammad ordered “Kill every Jew who falls into your power,” one of his followers, Ibn Mas’ud, murdered Ibn Sunayna, a Jewish merchant. Other followers of Muhammad were happy to obey similar orders from their leader: “Our attack on God’s enemy caused fear among the Jews, and there was not a Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.”
Islamic hatred of Jews has its roots back 1400 years, to the time of Mohammed.

The Qur’an acknowledges that Allah helped the Israelites cross the Red Sea 10:90,
and settled them again in a sanctified land 10:93.
He further gave them the Scriptures, wisdom and prophethood 45:16,
without evil motives 11:110.
The Jews who wanted to understand the Quran would enjoy the blessings of Paradise 27:76-81.
However, those who did so were few,
so that the Jews had wronged themselves. 16:118
by losing their faith 7:168
and by breaking the covenant 5:13.
The Jews are a people who have “passed away” 2:134, 2:141.
God sent the Assyrians and the Romans to punish this perverse people 17:4-5,
and their spread over the face of the earth is the proof of his rejection. 7:168.
For those Jews who still claim to be His chosen people, the Qur’an instructs:
“If you Jews claim that you are the friends of God apart from other people, then you long for death. If you speak the truth.’” 62:6.
In addition to breaking the covenant, “they denied the revelations of Allah and killed their prophets unjustly 4:155.
In Surah 2 the Jews are asked: “Why did you kill the prophets of Allah if you are true believers?” 2:91.
Jews are punished for conspiring against Jesus. 3:55 in 4:157.
In a long rant in the Surah of the Cow, Jews are characterized as one
“jealous” people. 2:109
whose hearts are “hard as stone.” 2:74,
they confuse the truth. 2:42,
the deliberate distortion of Scripture. 2:75
and telling lies. 2:78.
like illiterate, unfeeling people of little faith. 2:89
they are occupied with vague dreams. 2:111.
Shame and misery are pressed upon them because of their transgressions. 2:62
including usury. 2:275,
breaking the Sabbath. 2:65,
sorcery. 2:65. and 2:102,
hedonism. 2:95,
and idolatry. 2:53.
their lack of faith, disobedience and distortions. 4:45,
their monstrous falsehoods. 4:156,
usury and fraud. 4 :160.
to be evildoers. 3:111
and deceived by their own lies. 3:24,
and try to keep believers from the path of Allah 3:99.
Deceiving Jews 3:69
confuse the truth 3:71
twisting with tongues 3:79
and say: “We are not obliged to believe in the heathen.” 3:75
believers are advised not to take these people as their friends 5:51.
as the most implacable in their enmity towards the faithful, 5:82,
Jews are blind and deaf to the truth 5:71.
we have placed among them enmity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. 5:64
All these accusations lead to a denouement (as if part of a theological indictment, a conviction and condemnation process) in Quran 58:14-19, which states:
Do you see those who have befriended a people [the Jews] with whom Allah is angry? They are neither yours nor theirs. They knowingly swear to falsehoods.
Allah has prepared for them a severe plague. Evil is indeed what they have done.
They use their faith as a disguise and exclude others from the path of Allah. A shameful plague awaits them.
Neither their wealth nor their children will protect them from Allah in the slightest. They are the heirs of hell and there they will dwell forever.
On the day when Allah will bring them all back to life, they will swear by Him as they now swear by you, thinking that their oaths will help them. They must all be liars.
Satan has taken possession of them and caused them to forget the warning of Allah. They are the allies of Satan; Satan’s allies will certainly be lost.
The “ultimate sin” committed by the Jews, and their appropriate punishment:
They are among the devil’s minions. 4:60.
Cursed by God, their faces will be blotted out. 4:47
They will be made into monkeys on the day of judgment. 2:65 in 7:166
They are the meanest of all creatures.” 98:7
And will burn in hellfire. 4:55
As a result of Nazi hatred of Jews in the Quran, the following cry of arms has been included in the HAMAS charter:
”From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”
This slogan is taken from Arafat’s PLO.
Israel interprets the slogan as “the total removal of Israelis from the territory, from the river to the sea”
Muslim organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah have shown that they believe there is no room for Jews between the river and the sea through barbarism and the extermination of Israeli citizens. For this reason alone, the use of this slogan should be avoided.” It is a call for war, violence and genocide.
Alternative text for Jew-hatred. Quran :
The Koran is by far the world champion of Jew-hatred.
What does the Quran say about Jews:
Sins and Punishments: wronged the Jews (16:118) by losing faith (7:168) and breaking their covenant (5:13). The Jews are a nation that has passed away (2:134; repeated in 2:141). Twice Allah comes with His servants to punish this perverse people (17:4-5) – their wandering across the earth is proof of Allah’s rejection (7:168). The Jews are found to be the chosen people of God (62:6), and are referred to as disobedient and “corrupt” (5:32-33).
Other contributing verses: breaking a covenant, disbelief in Allah and killing prophets (4:155; 2:91), including Jesus (3:55; 4:157). The Jews ridiculed Muhammad as being a Ra’ina (the evil one, in 2:104; 4:46), and cursed for their disbelief and slandering Islam (4:46). Very few of them are believers (also 4:46). Cursed (9:30)
Additional issues: the Jews are characterized as a “jealous” people (2:109), whose hearts are as hardened as rocks (2:74). Jews distort the truth (2:42), pervert the Scriptures (2:75), and are liars (2:78). Wicked people of little faith (2:89), they pursue dreams (2:111). misery and fortification was their reward for disobedience and failure (2:61 and 3:112) including usury (2:275), sorcery (2:102), hedonism (2:96), and idol worship (2:53).
Most Jews are ‘evildoers’/’transgressors’/’wicked’ (3:110), deceived by their own lies (3:24), trying to turn Muslims away from Islam (3:99). Jews are blind and deaf to the truth (5:71), and what they have not forgotten they have perverted – they deceive (3:69), confuse the truth (3:71), twist with their tongues (3:79) ) and deceive the Gentiles without remorse (3:75). Muslims are accused of not taking Jews as allies (5:51), and of being wary of the deep-seated hatred that Jews harbor towards them (5:82).
The ultimate sin and punishment of the Jews : they are the minions of the devil (4:60), cursed by Allah, their faces will be mutilated (4:47), and if they do not accept the true faith of Islam, they will be made into monkeys (2:65/7:166), or apes and pigs (5:60), and burn in hellfire (4:55, 5:29, 98:6 and 58:14–19).

Sahih Bukhari 4: 52: 177 Verteld Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said : “The day of judgment will not be determined until you fight the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew hides will say:” O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me, so kill him.”
[ This is not an end-time prophecy. Instead, it argues that Muslims can hasten the Day of Judgment and the Muslims’ eventual victory by killing Jews.]
This authentic hadith gives legitimacy to killing Jews. The progroms in North Africa, Spain, and the Middle East were the result of the above hadith in combination with the hatred of Jews in the Quran.
