Utopia or Dystopia? The Truth About Jewish-Muslim History

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas talks to Marc David Baer, Professor of International History at the London School of Economics, about his new book Children of Abraham: The Story of Jewish-Muslim Relations. 

Marc discusses:

 The recent stabbing in Golders Green, North London

 The myth of utopian co-existence and the counter-myth of total antagonism

 The earliest encounters of Jews and Muslims in Arabia

 The Qur'an's mixed messaging about Jews

 The reality of Sharia dhimmitude laws

 Jewish-Muslim relations in the Khazar Kingdom, in Al-Andalus, and in the Ottoman Empire

 Colonialism and the rupture of Jewish-Muslim relations

 Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and Jewish-Muslim solidarity today
