520    A liberal Muslim and critically acclaimed author explores 
       the historical, political, and theological basis for 
       centuries of Muslim animosity towards Jews, debunking long
       held myths and tracing a history of hate and its impact 
       today.  More than nine years after 9/11 and 60 years after
       the creation of the state of Israel, the world is no 
       closer to solving, let alone understanding, the 
       psychological and political divide between Jews and 
       Muslims. While countless books have been written on the 
       subject of terrorism, political Islam, and jihad, barely a
       handful address the theological and historical basis of 
       the Jew and Muslim divide. Following the terrorist attacks
       on Mumbai in November 2008, in which Pakistani jihadis 
       sought out and murdered the members of a local Jewish 
       centre, the author began an in depth investigation of the 
       historical basis for the crime.  In this book, he uses 
       extensive research to trace how literature from as early 
       as the seventh century has fueled the hatred of Jews by 
       Muslims. He debunks the anti Jewish writings of the Hadith
       literature, takes apart the Arab supremacist doctrines 
       that lend fuel to the fire, and reinterprets supposed anti
       Jewish passages in the Quran. In doing so he argues that 
       hating Jews is against the essence of the Islamic spirit 
       and suggests what needs to be done to eliminate the 
       agonizing friction between the two communities.
