There is considerable debate about the nature of antisemitism in Islam, including Muslim attitudes towards Jews, Islamic teachings on Jews and Judaism, and the treatment of Jews in Islamic societies throughout the history of Islam. Islamic literary sources have described Jewish groups in negative terms and have also called for acceptance of them.[1][2][3] Some of these descriptions overlap with Islamic remarks on non-Muslim religious groups in general.[4]
With the rise of Islam in Arabia in the 7th century CE and its subsequent spread during the early Muslim conquests, Jews, alongside many other peoples, became subject to the rule of Islamic polities.[5][6][7] Their quality of life under Muslim rule varied considerably in different periods, as did the attitudes of the rulers, government officials, the clergy, and the general population towards Jews, ranging from tolerance to persecution.[5][6][7]
An antisemitic trope found in some Islamic discourse is the accusation of Jews as the "killers of prophets".[8][9] This accusation is often interpreted as a condemnation of the entire Jewish people, believed by many[who?] to be an eternal charge.[9]
