Listen to Me: Islam Does Not Command War Against Jews

Turkish political and religious commentator Sinem Tezyapar.
In an op. ed. piece for the Jewish Press, I cited from the Qur’an to show that war is an exceptional matter for Muslims, an unwanted obligation to be fulfilled in limited circumstances, and for defensive purposes only.
In response, I’ve been denounced and accused of being a Trojan horse, the wolf trying to devour Little Red Riding Hood, of not being a Muslim or being the worst kind of liar, misguided, deceiver, of practicing taqiyya, of disseminating propaganda with the intention of deceiving Israelis & Westerners, of using jihadist tactics in disguise, etc.
The most moderate reaction has been that I am young, naive… and don’t know my religion and the real world.
Despite the criticism, I stand behind my words, and I say further that Hamas or any other Islamic group that uses violence against civilians is doing wrong according to the Qur’an and that Jews, Christians, and Muslims must and can live co-exist together in harmony and peace. The reactions to my statements have been along the following lines: “What about the jihad verses in Qur’an? What about taqiyyah? What about abrogation of the verses which counsel peace?”
Let me clarify these misconceptions about Islam so that there is no excuse for warmongers and those who wish to shed oceans of blood.
War and violence in the Holy Books - Admittedly, there are commandments about war in the Qur’an, and those verses pertain to self-defense. The Tanakh and the Gospel also contain provisions about war and violence, and there are verses full of killing, especially in the Torah. The passages about war in those are, just as with the Qur’an, in regard to self-defense. The Torah and the Gospel command peace and love, and contain commandments about love and affection too. A person of love will interpret that in one way, and a cruel person in another. One can interpret it truly if one looks at it sincerely. For instance the Gospel speaks of blood up to the manes of the horses; it speaks of nobody being saved apart from 144,000 Jews. These are actually metaphorical and must be elucidated within the general tone of the Gospel, which is one of love and affection prevailing. But if someone insists on interpreting it in terms of violence, if he adds additional things to it out of his own mind, then a climate of violence will of course ensue. But a real Jew or a real Christian would never murder innocent people simply because there exists verses regarding killings in their Holy Books. In the same way, people who will look at Islam and the Qur’an through the eyes of love will not come up with violent interpretations.
Dictators against Prophets’ divine message - Let us not forget that the Prophet Mohammed was a prophet who sought to spread the pure faith of the Prophet Abraham, which is faith in God, the One and Only and ascribing no equals to Him, in a pagan society which had been dominated by idol worship. Like many prophets whose names appear in the Tanakh, the Prophet Mohammad has been commissioned for transmitting the message of God. It was impossible for the prophets to make any concessions on this, and they carried the true message, even at the cost of their own lives, to the most extreme leaders of their times and the most perverse communities. Conveying this message sometimes meant to oppose the tyrant Nimrod, as in the case of the Prophet Abraham, and sometimes to oppose dictators such as Pharaoh, as with the Prophet Moses. At all such times, believers found opposition from people who sought to take their lives. Despite circumstances where no one enjoyed freedom of expression, all the prophets communicated God’s message without regard to the cost. And this is no different in Islam as well.
War (qital) and jihad are not the same - The basic claim of the accusations and reactions trying to portray Islam as violent -God forbid- is that there are verses about jihad in the Qur’an and that these speak of killing. First and foremost, jihad and war are entirely different concepts: Jihad is not synonymous with holy war, as some misguided people think. Jihad means rather exertion, which is to strive, to make effort toward some object identified to the will of God as revealed in the Qur’an. Some worthy objects of jihad include strife against one’s egoistic passions, or to make an intellectual challenge against irreligion, radicalism or fanaticism. One convinces people with scientific and intellectual evidence. To expose the signs of God’s existence, to convey His revelation, to explain the malice of atheistic ideologies etc… These are the legitimate objects of the “jihad” for a Muslim, not beating someone about the head, killing someone or forcing a person to embrace Islam as an act of coercion.

My dear Sinem, you should go and live in Gaza under Hamas rule, I am sure you will be singing a different tune about Jihad, and Muslim religion.
Sister Ofra, True Islam is a loving Faith, The Holy Qur'an speaks against the violence, as does the Torah. Hard to accept, having endured 1000 rocket attacks upon your communities before a military response, I understand. The Qur'an calls for a restrained defense. The Jewish state seems to have met that requirement. The Radicals will have no place to turn, in time. We are working to combat the ignorance, bigotry, hatred, and the hijacking of Islam to wage war. The Turkish-Islamic Union, which will likely include Israel, will cause terror groups such as the 3 in question, to become extinct. This is God's will. The Holy Qur'an states that the Jews will live in the Holy Land til the end times. The threat of force cannot compare to Gods will. Education is key. We and our Jewish brothers and sisters will prevail. This is the only viable approach insha'Allah, God Willing.

More like 10,000 rockets Jimmy.
My dear Sinem, you should go and live in Gaza under Hamas rule, I am sure you will be singing a different tune about Jihad, and Muslim religion.
I say to every Jew to not believe in Islam because our sage, the Rambam, Rabbi Mosheh Ben Maimon (Maimonides), wrote a formal didactic (teaching) letter to the Yemenite Jews in 1172 informing them that Muhammad (Islam) as well as his predecessor, Jezeus (Xtianity), are false prophets and insane.
Brother Liad, you are a Man of great faith, it is plain to see. No one is trying for conversion, only to draw upon the similarities of the 3 books of Faith. Not to dismiss any teachings, the Status Que cannot stand. Our Jewish brothers and sisters will be out numbered 10 to 1 by Muslims before this decade is out. Regardless, The Holy Qu'ran states that the Jewish people will be in the Holy Land ( Jewish State) until the end times. No one can alter God's will. The Turkish-Islamic Union will cause peer pressure in many Positive ways. The Ottomans protected the Jews, so it shall be again. We are together Brother Laid, in what Allah, God, Hashem wants for us, Peace and unity.
Sinem Tezyapar, you and your associates/managers, Ceylan Ozbudak, Adnan Oktar, et al, really should be making youtubes of interviews with people like Hasan Nasrallah, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the main financier of Islam, Saudi King Abdullah Alsoud. Concentrating your efforts on the Jewish Press instead gives the impression that you’re out fishing for those who are ignorantly lost from the general consensus of religious beliefs and practices. For your organization to state that they will set up Turkey as the spiritual center for the world just throws up red flags all over the place.
Thank you , Brother. I am an American Muslim that has come full circle since 9/11. I was here to witness the Attacks,the murder of 3000 innocents, spent the best years of my life in pursuit of killers, and then found Allah, our creator. I would like to invite you to visit www, buildingbridges.com. This is A9 in Istanbul. We have guest scholars and Rabbis from around the world. Many from Israel itself. You are seeing a intellectual war being waged against bigotry, ignorance, and hatred that is far more effective than any military unit I ever served with. Brother please, A9 has a long history of Scholars and Leaders, even having won a Nobel Prize for Peace. Join us, it is in our own interest that our Jewish brothers survive and Flourish. God Willing. insha'Allah.
is coleman a jewish name, are you jewish by origin?
Thank you for asking Brother Roc. My Mother is an American Indian, My Father is Geman.
I received this comment from a friend by Email:
Reading the comments on Sinem's article, one gets the impression that most Muslims here seek peace, while many comments by non-Muslims are negative, skeptical and pessimistic.
As a proud Zionist and an Orthodox Jew from Jerusalem, I am rather confused and sad to see this.
Yes, I know that most vocal Islamists preach violence and hatred, but I fail to understand why some Westerners are so eager to push ALL Muslims into the radical camp.
Do we not want to encourage peace and tolerance? Have we fallen in love with being hated and terrorized?
Sinem is saying that the Muslim radicals that preach hatred and violence are WRONG! Do we want her to shut up and join them?
What on earth for?
And how do we have the CHUTZPAH to tell this Turkish intellectual that we know HER religion better than herself and her friends?
Let's be honest – Jewish and Christian sources also have tones of war and tones of peace. But we are free to choose the right path in every historical period. So why do we reject peaceful Muslims when they insist on adopting tolernace and acceptance? What do you hope to gain from this arrogant approach?
We should be doing the exact opposite: Encourage people of good will and embrace them. This is the only hope for a better future for all humanity!
Absolutely. People would rather consign themselves to a future of endless conflict that admit to themselves that their preconceptions are less than 100% true.
Yori and Bob you both have a lot to learn about the two main religions in this world which are based from its inception on destroying the Jews. You both will probably not understand this but I will say it anyway. Before these religions wanted to kill us with swords and some still do; however, now they want to kill us with love. In other words they both have the same objective…..to kill us via their religion. What you read here is pure taqiyya (concealing) of their world take over by this very destruction however "sweet" and seductive it may appear. No matter what kind of spin Islam puts on it, it's all a lie and if you both think not, then it has become an illusion in your heads. You both can see for yourselves that Islam has NEVER EVER "walked the talk" when the word peace was mentioned. Peace has been ALWAYS used as deception and instructed to do so by Muhammed, so as to buy time in order to build up forces ONLY for eventual war and dominate takeover of the world.
Yori, I am sure that the Sephardic Jews of Yemen thought as you back in the years of 1172 when they were loosing Jews and having great troubles. They asked the Rambam for help and he did and saved them from their troubles. The Rambam wrote a formal didactic (teaching) letter to the Yemenite Jews in 1172 informing them that Muhammad and his predecessor, Jezeus, are false prophets and insane. If someone says otherwise and makes you believe otherwise then you are right back in the same situation of 1172 but it has become worse because you are influencing many more people on an international basis with the internet.
Yori Yanover, it is good that your Orthodox friend sent you this email for otherwise he would be embarrassed to publish his name after showing such ignorance of Torah and Judaism. It’s been proven that not all Orthodox raised children remain Orthodox as can be seen from your friends’ email. Granted not all of us have the time to study Torah and do what we study so that we do not lose what we have studied. Neither do we have the time and interest to study other religions and learn how they might impact our lives and those of our loved ones; so, we rely on our sages knowledge to help guide us through the many unknowns in our lives. When a sage, such as the Rambam for instance, stated that a certain man, Muhammed, is a false prophet and insane, it would behoove us to stay far away from him and his followers. Maybe we don’t have what it takes to intellectually fight against this false prophet and his followers but the Rambam does have “the CHUTZPAH to tell this Turkish intellectual that we know HER religion better than herself and her friends”. The Rambam was closer to HaShem than any one of us; so, to follow the Rambam’s advice is not “an arrogant approach” as your friend termed it but rather a very wise and humble approach.
Your friend asked: “Have we fallen in love with being hated and terrorized?” It seems that your friend is tired of being hated and terrorized much like Olmert was tired of fighting and winning wars; so, he made sure that Israel didn’t win any more wars much like your friend would believe the Islamists than fight them so long as there is some delicious lavishly looking sex pot to give him his daily dose of ego pills and testosterone evocations during his present day male menopause stage of life.
Brother Yori, it is a Blessing to see you again, it has been a long time. Last time we spoke I was examining Judism as a possible faith for conversion. Thank you for keeping an open mind. I understand how hard it can be. i have served with Brothers that have sacrificed much due to Radicals. I do understand. Trust takes time. God bless you, Brother
Liad Bar-el
Dear sir,
I think you are indoctrinated with hate and full of ignorant teachings. What ever it might be, I am in great doubt that you know the love of God. But, even if so, then, I wish you the best and pray for your wellbeing. Reading your pessimistic statements and false accusations is merely a stomach-killer.
My grandmothers and fathers, died, destroying railways in Kosovo and Albania, Albania, the only recognized country (even if small) by the State of Israel and civic movements to have deported 0% Jews. I take your statements as an insult to me, and them, may they rest in peace.
I fought and experienced the genocide in Kosovo, and we never, ever, killed any civilians nor did we massacre, urinate on corps, or deceived people into massgraves. Serbs who surrendered, we helped with clothing and passports to get them to Italy in order not to get killed by their one governmental institutions and paramilitary groups.
Turkey today, as a pure Muslim country, is the only one, who has installed a defense missile system, solely, to protect Israel and its population, due to the fact, that they are our brothers and sisters in faith. Turkey has everything to lose on this project, but has chosen to follow the teachings of the Quran and the recommandations of our Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him).
I will still protect, Jews, Christians and Muslims, and all others, from ignorant, hateful, people, and strive i nthe best way possible to achieve the Pleasure of Allah till my lest breath.
I suggest you do the same…
Liad: I have graduate degrees in Jewish and Islamic thought/history, study regularly with Moslems, meet and work regularly with Palestinians, and derech agav also served for five years in an anti-terror unit of the IDF. But I'm sure you know far more about all this than I do. So I wish you all the best, and thanks for enlightening us, really.
I agree Yori Yanover, this is essentially a conversation about how we Jews are wrong again. And it's sickening to watch it here in the Jewish Press. Would the Jewish Press have published an article by Germans extolling to Jews the Beauty of German culture (Goethe, Wagner, Handel, etc.) and how they just want everyone to understand how peaceful real Germans are as opposed to those poor misled Nazis (who aren't really good Germans because they killed some who didn't deserve death). As I said earlier, if Sinem or one of the other journalist girls from Turkey wants to help, they should help us fight the bad Germans, I mean the bad Moslems. If they are sincere they'll stop making excuses for their fellow Moslems and disavow them.

Someone I 'know' on Twitter told me that there was an earlier Koran, but it got destroyed and it was peaceful and loving. Now I understand about abrogation – that earlier – loving – verses were abrogated in favor of violent and hateful verses. My question is: Will the real Quran please stand up?
Be careful about these people , this "Blonde" Sinem are part of a group following Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) a controversial Turkish Muslim Guru .
Tamar Yonah made a very good interview with one of them debunking their final agenda 1 week ago .

Turkey will take charge of the region??? They were kicked out by the British! What a joke….. I don't understand how it is that this woman hasn't been targeted yet….
It's a group , not only this woman, they have their own channel in Turkey A9
http://en.a9.com.tr/
They are starting to publish articles in Jewish internet news papers , Jerusalem Post, Arutz Sheva , Time of Israel etc……. many are believing their lunacies on this "Peaceful" Turkish Islamic Union .
And this is their agenda :

Well, Jews didn't accept him as a prophet because what was true in Mohammed's message at the beginning of his religion was NOT NEW. It had been said before, and what was new was not true. Mohammed's response to the rejection of him is obviously in the Koran. So yeah Mohamed was a fake prophet and Islam although monotheistic it is Untrue, auuntrue 'religion '
I want to know where you got that from. I've never heard about that. Maybe it's something they just say.
I don't know who told you such a thing, but you are terribly mistaken. The Quran has been the same since the days of the profit (pbuh). People that see hate and violence in the Quran are people that have hate in their hearts… People who actually open their hearts will see the reality of a peaceful religion that brought justice to the world

אהובה טייב Thanks for the tip.
I was wondering why they all look like refugees from a 1987 Robert Palmer music video "Addicted to Love"? Their Guru must play it while he does them.
Sinem I hope you can get your point across to the Jihadists and Hamas. You will do a great service to your people. If millions who follow Islam believe what you say than we have hope. Wishing you much success in explaining it to THEM.
Thank you Alan Kardon!
Your welcome. Now you can start by making sure that Hamas will stop firing rockets at Israel. You also can tell the Palestinians that Israel has a right to exist. Then we can sit down and have a conversation that will be meaningful. Thank you in advance for your help in getting the terrorist to stop.
Thank you for the enlightened article. I have always suspected your interpretation of Islam is correct, and truly wish there are more like you in the world. It would surely be a better place. Thanks again Sinem.
dumb ass
Thank you Angela!
Roc Diaz Why so Harsh? Why the Hate. Your last Name Implies you are Hispanic. Victums of Much hate? Whats up with that?
yea ok, sinem and her friends seem nice and benevolent, but in the end they would certainly agree to making all nations bow to islam, which is not to be. they will be defeated and forced to leave israel in peace. the muslims are violent and are permitted to lie and steal from a non muslim, even to take "non believers" as slaves. the israelis should start to play hard ball and clear out hevron and ramallah, its israeli land. we should push the gazans into egypt and jordan and take back our boarders according to what G-d has alloted us in the torah. we might not be able to do it all right now, but soon when the Redeemer comes forth from the north.
Regarding your comment, the Qur'an clearly forbid stealing and taking "non believers" to slaves, and most Muslims are peaceful, only the few violent gets media attention. May Allah/Elah/Elohim have mercy on your soul and guide you to the truth. May Allah/Elah/Elohim bring the Messiah/Imam Mahdi inshAllah. Salam/Shalom
Sinem Tezyapar is not only wrong, she's apostate! Of course she may simply be lying. Muslims do that. And thieve loot rob rape maim murder and diddle kiddies like their psychopath prophet! And why is she inviting rape? Get thee into a burka!
Sinem Tezyapar is a very pretty woman but in her case beauty and brains don't go together.
You know that, I know that, but tell the Jewish extremists that. The Qu'ran refers to both Jews and Christians as the People of the Book, who supplied the Scriptures. The Qu'ran will say those who violate the Sabbath is a despicable ape, not that jews are despicable apes, but only those who violate the Sabbath. An Orthodox rabbi can call you that, but how many of the Jewish extremists even go to a synagogue and follow the mitzvot of what is commanded on Shabbat?
The Muslim attitude toward Jews is reflected in various verses throughout the Koran, the holy book of the Islamic faith. "They [the Children of Israel] were consigned to humiliation and wretchedness. They brought the wrath of God upon themselves, and this because they used to deny God's signs and kill His Prophets unjustly and because they disobeyed and were transgressors" (Sura 2:61). According to the Koran, the Jews try to introduce corruption (5:64), have always been disobedient (5:78), and are enemies of Allah, the Prophet and the angels (2:9798).
Why is this woman being given an audience on the Jewish Press? Let her go peddle her daydreams to Al Jazeera, and see how many people agree with her there.
I'm sure this will all be news to the Taliban, and they will be ever so grateful and relieved to hear that they can lay down arms and take up stamp collecting.
FYI, Jews do not refer to Abraham or Moses or David as a prophets. So referring to them in that way, especially in a Jewish publication indicates that you have appropriated Judaism without actually absorbing Judaism accurately. That's rude. Furthermore, to expect Jews to accept Islam's repurposing of Jewish figures is disturbing, regardless of your so called peaceful intentions.
I'm not an expert on Islam but what I have learned from reading and listening to lectures is that Muslims consider Islam to be the final revelation of G-d and the goal is that Islam should rule the world, not be equal to other religions. According to the Qur'an Jews corrupted the Torah and Christians are misled by believing in the trinity and Christ's divinity, and both groups are banned to eternal hell fire unless they accept Allah and Mohammed as his prophet. Furthermore, according to Islam, since the Qur'an was a direct transmission to Mohammed by the angel Gabriel it can not be changed or modernized or interpreted according to personal whims. The Qur'an is not considered divinely inspired but the word of G-d. Islam is Islam. Sinem, it's not my place to tell you how to practice your faith, but please don't try to mislead people that what you are saying is authentic or mainstream Islam.
I do hope that Islam can be reformed by well intentioned Muslims who prefer to live in peace and recognize the spiritual paths of other people as equally valid.

Perfect piece, congratulations. But I think it also needs to emphasize that people need to open their eyes and see that thier hunger for hatred will take them nowhere. It baffles me to see that people hatefully respond to a piece calling for peace. How can they ever justify that? So I think, Sinem you need to focus on that hateful state of mind too, and maybe you can show them how to overcome their prejudices. People wake up! You were not born to hate, God created you to love.
The very first muslim migration took place because the non-believers did not want muslims to preach Islam in Makkah. If the non-believers had let the muslims continue following their newly found reliigion Islam, they were afraid masses would convert to be muslims seeing the way muslims behaved so well. And the very first war Badar took place because non-believers did not want muslims to flourish in Madinah and attract more people towards Islam.
Islam does NOT order killings of any non-muslims, unless they attack muslims. And even then there is no killing of women, oldies and children. Only fighters have to be fought against.
I believe that if muslims demonstrate in Europe and Americas how to live peacefully and in true Islam spirit, people there will quickly convert to Islam. My persona belief is that Islam starts where humanity reaches its height. Provided the muslims live as per Allah's way as shown by the holy prophet. Mere naming themselves as Muslims, but acting against Islam is not going to bring good name to Islam and muslims.
You're wrong Amir. Europe won't convert to Islam. You're going to have to kill them all as you usually do.
she looks just like salome who danced for the king to ask for John the Baptist head on a platter as her reward.
And there is no point in claiming otherwise because they have the right to live as unbelievers as God says there is no compulsion in religion. So if you don't believe in the Koran you are a nonbeliever, that is so stupid. Besides there is no God and if there was where has he been for the last 3000 years while millions have died in the name of religion. Irags killing Irags, same in Afghanistan, sorry it seems Muslims are the root of evil. Again there is no God, you just belong to a cult.
I do believe that God wants us to love ourselves and each other. But this is simply apologetics. It's like the Nazis telling the new arrivals at Auschwitz to go take showers. That was an idea provided by to Hitler personally by the Mufti of Jerusalem. Taqiyah.
It is forbidden in Judaism to proselytize; so why are Islamists proselytizing here on the Jewish Press?
Please stop calling evil good. Your blindness and twisted logic is nausiating.
Says the most loving nation on the planet that hasn't killed our brothers sister and children. My friend, when you guys were the outcasts of Europe the Muslims opened their doors for you… And sultan Abd al Hamid knew that he is opening the door to the wolves to slaughter the sheep, but he thought that the wolves might change. He was mistaken
