Jewish–Muslim Dialogue

Abstract

Dialogue as conversion and the exchange of ideas and opinions has been taking place between Muslims and Jews since the emergence of Islam in the seventh century. From the earliest years of Islamic emergence to the present, Jews and Muslims have lived together and communicated with one another. This is dialogue in the broadest sense, and social and economic intercourse has always included discussion about personal issues such as religion. It is only in the past century that inter-religious dialogue has begun to be viewed as a means for transcending historical and theological tension between religions in order to find common cause for building community and positive civic engagement. This chapter talks about differences and hurdles that affect Muslim–Jewish dialogue, some shared attributes and their impact on dialogue, and current trends and observations in Muslim–Jewish relations in North America.
