Studies

Atif Farraj presents a book on the Jewish culture in the Middle East, how it has been formed and integrated historically. The book goes into the Western exploitation of the Jews and also the history between the Jewish and Muslim people, including the complicated and often ambiguous relationship. It discusses how the Muslims enabled the Jews to integrate into the community, in contrast to the Christian societies, for example the first major massacres of Jews in the West were at the hands of the First Crusade, destined for the Islamic East in the year 1096, which led to more persecution in the Western nations. These issues and more are discussed.
