Arabs and Jews are cousins by blood. I am an arab muslim and the Quran tell us that we are both decendents of the Prophet Abraham (Peace be onto him). Their faith is also the closest to Islam in it's foundation and source. So we are cousins in blood and faith.

[@Falamu445]

But are today's Jews really from the Children of Israel mentioned in Bible and Qur'an?

[@FeralglanceBengals]

Falamu445 From an Islamic point of view it doesn't matter. Islam doesn't care about people's race, skin colour ect. However it's relevent when it comes to jewish claims about being the chosen people of God, that God made them his favourite and that he promised them the land of Palestine. There is a strong theory backed with genetic evidence that between 80-90% of the jews today are not connected to the midle east. They are called Ashkinatzi Jews. They are from Europe by blood and history and it is said they originally come from Khazaria which is south of Rrissia/Ukraine.

[@eldadmaster]

FeralglanceBengals Actually genetic tests showed that 89% of Ashkenazim are indeed descended from middle east. Only 11% had a gene that could mean that one of their ancestor was east European convert. Notice that it's a single gene. But it really doesn't matter, because Judaism doesn't discriminate people over skin color. Even if you converted yesterday, you're still Jewish. According to Judaism stance, converts are people who were born with Jewish souls and just happened to be born into non-Jewish families and found their way back. For most intents, they're considered just as jewish as those that were with Moses at mount Sinai... So racial doctrine don't apply. The flesh don't matter, only the soul.

[@eldadmaster]

sn00piedog That's the whole point... It isn't. One of the origins of Jew-hatred is BECAUSE their communities were relatively closed, and didn't mingle with their non-Jewish neighbors. When looking for a match (they often used arranged marriage, as the majority of the world did, and some still do) they would sometime travel hundreds of kilometers to other Jewish communities. There were exceptions, sure. For children born of rape, the community still took them in, and raised them as Jews. And of course in the case of converts. But since unlike Christianity and Islam, Judaism isn't a missionary religion (meaning they aren't actively trying to convert people), the conversion process is very long and rigorous, meant to test the convert resolve as well as his knowledge of Judaism. So, this two cases represent the exception rather than the rule. As I said, barely 1 in 9 Ashkenazi Jews can be scientifically claimed that one of their ancestors wasn't born Jewish.
