Dear Laurence,

I am compelled to respond to your article, which suggests that anti-Semitism is a pervasive issue within American Christianity. While I acknowledge that anti-Semitism is a grave injustice, I strongly disagree with your assertion that Christian Zionism is the root cause of this problem.

As Muslims, we believe that all prophets, including Jesus and Abraham, were sent by Allah to guide humanity.

We also believe that God Almighty said about the Jews that they will be the best of nations, if they work by enjoining good and forbidding evil and believing in God. But unfortunately, they did not accept the message of Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, and then Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be upon him.

In fact, the Quran states, "Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Muslim." (Quran 3:67)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "You will find the closest people to me in terms of affection and love among those who love Allah and his Messenger." (Bukhari) This hadith emphasizes the importance of loving and respecting all prophets, including Jesus.

It is unfortunate that some individuals may hold anti-Semitic beliefs, but we cannot generalize this to an entire faith or group. As Muslims, we believe in promoting love, tolerance, and understanding between all faiths and communities.

The Quran reminds us, "And We have sent you (O Muhammad) not but as a mercy for all mankind." (Quran 21:107) This verse emphasizes the importance of spreading compassion and mercy towards all humanity.

In conclusion, I disagree with your assertion that Christian Zionism is the root cause of anti-Semitism. Instead, we must focus on promoting love, tolerance, and understanding between all faiths and communities.

Thank you for your thoughts, Laurence.

Sincerely,

Mohamed
