Interview With Andrew Bostom: The Legacy Of Islamic Anti-Semitism
From Front Page, via Andrew Bostom's Blog:
FP: What inspired you to write this book?
Bostom: Nearing completion of my first book compendium, The Legacy of
Jihad, in early 2005, specifically the section about jihad on the Indian
subcontinent, I came across a remarkable comment by the Indian Sufi theologian
Sirhindi (d. 1624). Typical of the mainstream Muslim clerics of his era,
Sirhindi was viscerally opposed to the reforms which characterized the latter
ecumenical phase of Akbar’s 16th century reign (when Akbar became almost a
Muslim-Hindu syncretist), particularly the abolition of the humiliating jizya
(Koranic poll tax, as per Koran 9:29) upon the subjugated infidel Hindus. In the
midst of an anti-Hindu tract Sirhindi wrote, motivated by Akbar’s pro-Hindu
reforms, Sirhindi observes,
“Whenever a Jew is killed, it is for the
benefit of Islam.”
The biographical information I could glean about Sirhindi provided, among
other things, no evidence he was ever in direct contact with Jews, so his very
hateful remark suggested to me that the attitudes it reflected must have a
theological basis in Islam—contra the prevailing, widely
accepted “wisdom” that Islam, unlike Christianity was devoid of such theological
Antisemitism.
Having originally intended to introduce, edit, and compile a broader
compendium on dhimmitude in follow-up to The Legacy of Jihad, this stunning
observation inspired me instead to change course and focus on the interplay
between Islamic Antisemitism, and the intimately related phenomenon of jihad
imposed dhimmitude for Jews, specifically.
