| Zusammenfassung: | "Uncovering the hidden history of Islamophobia and its surprising connections to the long-standing hatred of Jews. Hatred of Jews and hatred of Muslims have been intertwined in Christian thought since the rise of Islam. In Jewish Muslims, David M. Freidenreich explores the history of this complex, perplexing, and emotionally fraught phenomenon. He makes the compelling case that, then and now, hate-mongers target 'them' in an effort to define 'us.'

They did so not only to justify assaults against Muslims on theological grounds but also to motivate fellow believers to live as 'good' Christians.
