Most of these publications are tendentious, written with a hostile attitude toward Jews and Judaism; indeed, some of them are tainted with antisemitism. The Qur'an, the Holy Scripture of the Muslims, also deals with the question of the status of Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel. Many of its exegetes, following in the tracks of Islam's holy book, have done so as well. Somewhat surprisingly, perhaps, these Islamic sources express an approach asserting that this land is promised exclusively to the People of Israel. This book explores these sources and discusses them in light of the recent developments Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes English Print version record SUBJECT Qurʼan -- Criticism, interpretation, etc. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85072959 Qurʼan fast Bibel Pentateuch gnd Subject Islam -- Relations -- Judaism.
