Antisemitism and Islamophobia have always been a serious threat to the followers of the two Abrahamic faiths, Judaism and Islam respectively.
Unfortunately today, the differences between Jews and Muslims mainly arose due to the continued and ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, which has nothing to do with religion but pure politics.
However, there are various commonalities between the Jews and Muslims, for example both the religions worship one God, they don’t worship idols, they eat Kosher and Halal respectively, they don’t eat pork, etc.
Moreover, Jerusalem is respected and held in the highest regard as a holy city by the followers of both the faiths. Moreover, Muslims and Jews share a rich heritage and culture.
Director of Milli Chronicle Zahack Tanvir said, “Muslims and Jews can understand each other in a much better way, as we share common heritage and history”.
To fight antisemitism and to bring the Jewish and Muslim communities together Milli Chronicle holds webinars and publishes content that helps people understand each other better.
Meanwhile, some Muslim countries like UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan normalized ties with Israel as a foundation of goodwill and progress.
Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed Al-Issa visited Auschwitz and prayed there to offer condolence to the Jewish community on what happened to them during the holocaust.
On September 15, 2020, the UAE became the first Gulf nation to establish formal relations with the Jewish state, and the third Arab country ever to do so after Egypt and Jordan in 1979 and 1994 respectively.
The ongoing conflict and politics involved in this matter have led people to question each other’s legitimacy.
Tanvir said, “Muslims need to reassess their relationship and perspective towards the Jews, sometimes with the involvement of politics people tend to hate the whole community which is wrong”.
Hatred followed by the propaganda presented with the religious tag is the favourite recipe of the extremist groups all over the globe.
“Politics ignites the hate in people’s minds and the same hate feeds the organisations with their personal agendas in the name of the religion”, Tanvir added.
In today’s age Terrorist groups use the internet to establish their audience and present the hate in a justifiable manner, Propaganda aimed at potential or actual supporters may be focused on recruitment, radicalization, and incitement to terrorism, through messages conveying pride, accomplishment, and dedication to an extremist goal.
Milli Chronicle’s Tanvir always uses his Twitter, Facebook and Youtube platforms to educate people especially Muslims to understand how they are played in the hands of Islamists, and the only way to find the light is to leave extremism and follow traditional Islam preached and practiced by Prophet Mohammed and his four rightly guided caliphs.
New-York based Rabbi Poupko said in a podcast hosted by Milli Chronicle, “We need to work on expanding cohesions through religious tolerance”.
Rabbi further said, “This can be only built by like-minded people coming together and working towards building a world for future generations that is not filled with divisiveness rather with people who are focused on making this world a better place through cohesion, tolerance and understanding”.
Milli Chronicle was established in 2018 as an online portal, however in October 2021 Tanvir registered it in England under the banner Milli Chronicle Media. The portal features original reporting, world news, analysis, and op-ed columns. It primarily focuses on MENA affairs.
