SIKAP AL-QUR’AN TERHADAP YAHUDI

The issue that followed up by Ariel Muzicant, The Vice President of the European Jewishs Congress, that mounted in the newest paper by title An End to Antisemitism! A Catalogue of Policies to Combat Antisemitis. They uttered that Al-Quran and the Bible has to be revised for the point in which contain anti-semitic doctrine. Some Islamic and Christianic documents that discrimined the Jews must be eliminated and discard. And they argue that the cases of crime on the Jews followers are caused by the doctrine in that Holy Book. This letter will try to answer and explain accusations above, by showing the textual and historical context of the verse which related with the topic. And also showing the reality that happens now adays. Because the Quran in the most of its verses revelation is related with the case that happen in its time revealed (asbab an-nuzul). Without understanding the asbab an-nuzul, the verse meaning and message can be misunderstood. Also with no effort for understanding the verse textual context, to understand its purpose, is nil.
