I think the phrase includes Judaism since its texts were inherited into Christianity without many changes, but Islam and the Qur’an have a lot of differences in the stories of the Tanakh and Nee Testament so there is less of a continuity there.
Especially considering the history of persecution that the jews faced in Europe and that, most ironically, the only area in Europe were jews we're allowed to prosper in peace was the islamic state of al andalus.
As a Muslim I have become a fan of your videos I love understanding the history and tradition of my Jewish brothers and sisters Keep up the great work 👍🌙
Most Jews are appalled by that word in America! There is no similarity between the 2 but actually butting heads most of the time. Xtians use Jewish terminology but changed their meanings to suit their doctrines.
@@infotruther Xtianity is idol worshiping while Judaism is belief in ONE and only G-d of the universe. We live by the laws of G-d and xtianity thinks it is abolished. The Jews have a mission to rectify the sins of Adam while your man-god defiled and violated some laws of Judaism rendering him a heretic. What is there to debate or even reconcile between a 4K years old Judaism to a far flung 2K religion called xtianity who violated all the 10 commandments as the TORAH says and sees it.
@pardes7342 American Protestantism just being bizarre as usual. Heck, they consider Catholics non-Christian because we have saints, when us Catholics and Orthodox never worship the saints. If we do worship them, we'd say so.
I taught English in Indonesia with a Jewish guy and we all had to pick a religion on our ID cards. Since Judaism wasn't an option he chose Islam because as he said it was the closest religion
Screw politics i as a muslim always love jews they are victums in history and history was cruel to them .We muslims are with our Jewish brothers in history and they are with us and we fight together against our enemies in history but unfortunately now because of politics we hate each other i hope by the time pass this hate will end ☪️🤝✡️.Long live Judism and long live islam together against crusaders . Remember in crusades we muslims and jews protect jeaursalam side by side
Top tier collaboration and very interesting video, as always! I must admit that I never thought about the term "Judeo-Christian" as excluding Islam, rather simply acknowledging the Jewish roots of Christianity, often as a synonym for "biblical" or "having its origin in the Bible". You certainly gave me something to think about.
Arther M. The term may have originated before the invention of Islam. Additionally, Christianity is wholly dependent on Jewish scriptural tradition albeit a reinterpreted mangled version where they insert Jesus all over the Hebrew Bible.
I think that when people say "Judeo-Christian" they mostly mean that Christianity literally came OUT of Judaism, it essentially started off as a just another Judaic sect. Islam, while drwaing inspiration from Judaism, was born independentally.
Of course, Muhammad wasn't jewish but Jesus was. Jesus sent to speak to Jewish in Jerusalem initially while Muhammad preaching to arabic people who never been jewish but still have bond with Abraham through Ismail tradition
It's not an inspiration from Judaism, it's a continuation of the same message as Noah, Abraham, Isaaq, Joseph, Moses, jeaus. It is the uncorrupted final word from God
Regardless of that though (and I think its a fair point), I think we can agree that the term obscures the close relationship between Islam and Judaism, which contributes to the securitisation of Muslims in the West
Ironically when a Sunni and Shia dispute about Omar, with the Shia cursing Omar - Sunni will revert to Jewish sources describing Omar as a "good ruler"
Coming from a Syriac-Palestinian Christian background whose ancestors followed Rabbincal tradition (along with Aramaic Targums) before the NT was eventually compiled and standardized, I personally feel somewhere in between Judaism and Islam. Both had a major influence on us and vice-versa, and all of us at some point and still do have conflicts with western fundamentalist "Christian" sects with warped and quite often bigoted views.
we jews do not believe in jesus as G"D who became flesh. We do not believe in the heritage of the original sin see pls the prophet Ezehiel chap. 18. G"D is a merciful G"D who accept a sincere repentance see psalm 51 in the Jewish bible. We observe shabbat.
@@mariawolf5843 Some Jews do believe in Jesus and the first Christians were largely Jews. The whole "original sin" thing is more of a later emphasis by the western churches. Redemption for us is not merely about individual sins committed but about transforming the root causes behind what leads us to sin in the first place. Anyway, not all Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc believe the same exact way, and although that has led to conflicts, diversity of thought is what makes us human.
Amazing work Sam ! As a muslim who use to love studying christan works and history in the past. Now, I study more and more of Judaism works and history. Peace brother.
As someone coming from a Christian background, I always found the phrase "Judeo-Christian" weird, especially when used in contrast with Islam. If anything, both Judaism and Christianity have more in common with Islam than they do with each other. I can't think of much that they share that neither shares with Islam. So, are soldiers fighting over whether Isaac or Ishmael was on the altar? From what I can tell, the phrase was used in WWII (in contrast to Nazism), the Cold War (in contrast to Communism), and the War on Terror (in contrast to Militant Islam). The first two made some sense, but the last one seemed odd to me. It seems like just a way to talk about the Abrahamic religions to the exclusion of Islam. On a related note, from what I can tell, the term at one point used to refer to Christians of a Jewish background. My family has an old Bible with commentary in the NT talking about the contrast between "Judeo-Christians" and "Gentile Christians" in the Church. I found that interesting.
While there are certainly people on both sides who would like it to be otherwise, the Arab-Israeli conflict has never been about religion- rather it is a conflict over land, national self-determination, and regional influence/political vision. Both Israel and (at least at the outset) its primary enemies are predominately secular societies, and in fact Israel was the first non-Communist country to have a non-religious majority.
@@SamAronow please check the aramaic targumim on jersulam, targum neofiti targum jonatham. research the 2 temple belief of judaism , 1 enoch etc etc and you will see why it is called ¨judeo christian´ oh andcheck the nazarene sect mentioned in acts 24
@@SamAronow wrong on too many levels. Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and Iran are secular? Their narrative that the Zionists are white European converts that have no claim to the land. Even their narrative is faith based. The Mufti of Jerusalem, a major Nazi collaborator from Mandate Palestine, was also a clerical. For the early conflict that might be somewhat true, PanArabism was mostly a nationalist movement that wanted the land "arab exclusive", but the justification for the conflict is faith based in its roots. Take a look on early pogroms that happened in that area or ban on Jewish immigration to prevent "judaization" of the region that local Muslims feared.
@Julio Altamiranda according to Islam, a Jew or a Christian can live under the Islamic rule, but s/he has to pay jizya, a tax on being non Muslim under Islamic protectorate of sort, if you can call it this way. Also the idea of non Muslims ruling over Muslims is unacceptable too. Hence why we see total disregard towards western 'regimes' by the Muslim immigrants. Islam has come to replace Judaism and Christianity that it considers corrupted, they only get a pass because they too are monotheistic, so a Muslim man can marry a non convert women of these religions, but they have to raise their children Muslim to get them away from corruption of the two. The point is, the Muslim perspective is that these two should be completely taken over by Islam.
@@SamAronow religion still has a role in the conflict, the right wing government continues to build settlements and calling the west bank "Judea and Samaria" , Naftali Bennett was literally holding the Bible and saying that the West Bank is a part of the promised land in an interview with Mehdi Hassan, Islam also influences the Arab side, many verses in the Quran and Hadith speak about the 2nd rise of the Israelites and the war at the end of times between the Muslims and the Jews
1:10 "The idea of having a relationship with God influenced by worldly affairs is simply foreign. If Jews lost the willingness to believe because bad things happened, this series would have ended a long time ago." How does this statement apply to anything other than the heretical prosperity gospel?
Historically speaking, Jews were quite more safe in Muslim lands than Christian ones. Be it in conquering Jerusalem from the Romans to the Reconquesta when Jews found refuge in the Ottomans. . Only in recent times (post ottoman) due to foreign intervention, the relation between Jews and Muslims became somewhat uneasy.
Don't forget the Zionist Movement and Balfour declaration, expulsion Palestinians from their homes, ongoing confiscation of Palestinian lands, this is the reason for the uneaseness

Loved this video. I am of one of the ancient Christian sects that to this day still rejects the idea of a trinity. Many of our teachings originated from Jewish practices that the disciples of Jesus still observed.
Christian here (specifically Catholic) who also dislikes this term. It disrespects our differences and glosses over both past and current anti-Semitism among Christians. Anti-Islamic bias (such as claiming Allah isn't God when 'Allah' is the Arabic word for God) also infuriates me. Love and blessings to you.
@Bhi fee Allah is the Arabic translation of god and you could be considered the same way how Jews (the ones from Israel since I’m not 100% sure on all Jews) refer to god as Elohim
@Bhi fee it is short for Al Illah which means the god. Actually God has no name in the Tanakh either. YHWH means he will be. Haya/Hawa means being existing. It's the same as Yihyeh. God cannot be named and put into a box. This is why it was said to Moses:I am who I am. Your bias is unfounded.
It's important to note that not all Christians believe in the trinity, I certainly don't according to Deuteronomy 6:4 it says "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might"
That's true, but during this historical period I'm fairly certain that all extant churches (Orthodox, Celtic, Coptic, Syriac, Armenian, Ethiopian, Nestorian, and Malankara) did.
Unitarianism is as old as Christianity but has never gained a foothold within Christian societies. Trinitarianism is the predominant belief of all major Christian sects since the Council of Nicea onwards. Edit: there are also theories stating that early forms of Messianic Judaism(Ebionites), which was notably Unitarian laid the foundation for Islam, and the reason why Christianity was predominantly trinitarian was because early Unitarian Churches in the Middle East became assimilated into Islam as they shared a common belief.

Thank you for this video! I've always felt that the Judeo-Christian moniker was silly for the reason you cite, the closer similarities to Islam, but I also object to the name because it is used by some Christian groups to minimize Judaism as its own religion, to instead be treated as a vestigial branch of Christianity! Unfortunately my understanding lacks the historical context, but your video has helped alleviate my lacking in this regard.
I get where youre coming from, but lets just look at the facts of the matter. The descendants of many different pagan groups living quite far from the levant adopted the abrahamic tradition and believe a jew to be their prophet, and follow the teachings of said man. As much as those beliefs evolved away from judaism, thats still very much the basis of christianity, its wholly derivative of abrahamic tradition. Antisemites are most likely to divorce christianity from judaism in their beliefs in my experience. Ive never seen judeo christian used in a way that does anything but acknowledge the root of western abrahamic religion, and how a set of values far more similar to jewish ones than former european values was adopted. I believe the muslim exclusion to be far more attributed to the holy wars and especially the attempted conquest of southern europe than anything else. Jews never invaded europe, and longstanding conflict separates people even if their beliefs are similar, see catholics and protestants in ireland. It can be argued that acknowledgment of jesus makes christians more similar to muslims than jews, its the conflict and its role in european history from crusades, to iberian islam, to barbary pirates, to present day friction between the two, while at the same time christian states were instrumental in israels creation and continued existence that causes christians to see more in common with jews than muslims. In short, the actual theology takes a backseat to real world events in the christian eye, especially when actual jewish philosophy is so hard to grasp. Sams videos really put it into context that between maimonides, The bal shem tov, and so many others, the average christian only knows yahweh is their god too and that means theyre related. Unlike jews, the majority of christians do have central authority especially pre reformation; its just not that nebulous. Such is the nature of a belief in which the messiah came vs one where he will come someday. Many might view muhammad as exterior and later to the tradition, as a false prophet perhaps, meanwhile all ancient jewish prophets are revered in christianity, even though that sentiment doesnt flow both ways. This creating a situation where they view jews as more similar than jews view them, in the same way mormons feel they are christian while many christians dont agree. Essentially c grows out of j, i is a different outgrowth and not part of c's tradition, begetting similarity between c and j, j is the base and sees it totally differently, and takes a theological approach to which one is closer to them, given both have a spotty record of treating jews in general. Theologics aside, the actual demographics of where jews leave and where they go in more modern times shows who they feel safer around, and maybe that counts more, food for thought.
I believe whatever the religions on Earth the truth lies in Monotheism and the kind of God Islam and Judaism describes. For me these 2 are the only Monotheistic religions (or 3 including Sikhism) that really give a satisfactory explanation of God.
you are free to believe what do you like but pls as I respect you respect jews and other beliefs avoinding vengeance or destructive ideology. Thks for your kind attention

Very good video! I'm also bothered by certain christian-americans using the term "Judeo-Christian". The adjacent growth of Judaism and Islam in the middle east has greatly influenced both religions.
There's a lot of pressure in certain American fundementalist circles to position their version of Christianity as a logical conclusion of Judaism. You see this in things like misappropriation of the shofar, books like the Left Behind series depicting Jewish rejection of Jesus' divinity as irrational and purely spiteful, or a certain member of Congress past publicly calling Jews "incomplete." Of course, this belief requires ignoring endless volumes of Jewish law and the lived experience of Jews whom most of this persuasion consider unreliable sources for reasons having nothing to do with religion, but that's nothing new; after centuries of hosting a Jewish population, Medieval France was scandalized to the point of national crisis by the discovery that the Talmud even *existed.*
@@SamAronow Lmao I find it funny that medieval france was shook by discovering the talmud existed. Anti-semitic conspiracy theorists have recently found out about the talmud and they use it to justify claims about world domination.
Here's a great book for research if you're not already using it: In Ishmael's House. It is a history of Jews and Judaism in Muslim lands from the birth of Islam until the modern era.
Great minds think alike. Simon Schama is not really doing it for me and I'm transitioning into using as much Martin Gilbert as possible. I'll be asking around Tel Aviv's used bookstores tomorrow.
and do you study the true history hidden by this video??? Pls consult the historical researches of prof Bernard Lewis. And you will be surprised... by the way christianity was in some way worst than Islam even it considered jews DHIMMIS. thks for your attention
I don't believe it's true that Christians are the ones using the term Judeo-Christian. I believe it's secular people that use the term, secular Jews too.
But doesn't christianity also have the exact same hebrew bible? It cannot be denied there is at least a significant shared heritage. But keep in mind it's from the first century and as with most things history doesn't stop there, and later theologians in both traditions tried to emphasize the distinction at varies points.
Depends on the version of Christianity. All extant versions of Christianity that I'm aware of use a translation of the Vulgate, which pre-dates the current Jewish version, the Masoretic Text (though it's closer than their initial version, the Vetus Latina, which was translated from the Septuagint). Additionally, most Christian versions have the books divided differently and in a different order, and Catholic, Orthodox, and Monophysite churches have various additional books in the OT that aren't canon in Judaism.
@@SamAronow Thanks for your answer 👍 Protestant Christians do use the Masoretic Text to my knowledge. Catholic and Orthodox I think rely more on the Septuagint. Regarding the order of books, it might be because they were originally scrolls and not in a standardized codex form at that time.
In Brazil "Judeo-Christian" is used as an excuse for conservatism hard line... it makes religious arguments sound like civilizational or cultural ones...
I know your point isnt to get bogged down in Christian theologocal issues, but you shouldn't group the theologies of the Oriental Orthodox Churches (Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Malankara, etc.) In with the Nestorian Churches saying they place a greater emphasis on Jesus' divinity like that. If you were you put them on a line the Catholic/Eastern Orthodox/predominant protestant position would be somewhere in the middle on classical analysis, and merely linguistically different according to many contemporary theologians. In fact the Oriental Orthodox's main criticism of the Catholic/Eastern Orthodox position was that it was too close to Nestorianism. Its also probably not right to say that they place a greater emphasis on Christ's divinity. All 3 groups are Nicean meaning they recognize that Jesus as fully human and fully divine, but they differ on how those 2 natures relate each other. The Church of the East's theology (Nestorianism) could be said to place a greater stress on Jesus' divinity by dimishing his humanity, but its probably better to just go with the standard 1 sentence explanation of (probably more accurate to say it underplays His humanity by seperating His humanity and Divinity into 2 persons). Catholic/Orthodox say He is one person with 2 natures one fully human one fully divine. Oriental Orthodox say He has 1 nature that is both fully human and divine. Obviously that glosses over a lot of debate and reasoning about why it matters as well as firther technical distinctions like the difference between Miaphysite and Monophysite, and later Christoligical issues like Monothelitism, but that is the 1 sentence version. Love the series though.
but they consider jr error i jesus as the mashiah of israel the savior of the humanity just to cancel the original sin consider by all christianity an heritage of all the human beings as after the fall of adam and eve so the death entered into the world and nobody now according to them can do the good and reconciliate with G"D except by accepting Jesus sact error sacrifice of the cross and his blood shedding. But pls consult Ezehiel chapt. 18. thks for your attention so there is deep difference between christianity and judaism secondary islam discriminated jews and this video is forgetting this.
"judeo-christian" refers to Chirstianity's Jewish roots, and depending on who you ask Christianity fulfills Judaism or just broke off from it. Most of Christian scripture is of Jewish origin, most of the old prophets were Jewish and Jesus and was a rabbi, and his disciples were all Jewish. Rabbinical Judaism and islam are more similar to each other than they are to Christianity in many ways though.
2 things of note for me, 1. I am 1000% in agreement that the term “Judeo-Christian” is absolute nonsense. 2. I am seething with anger every time you say “Roman” instead of “Byzantine”!!!!
I'm so glad that Al Muqaddima clarified that the Abu Qurayza were sentenced by one of their own, and the conflict with Jews of Medina were over what they did rather than over their religion.
Judeo-Christian is a purely American term. Born out of American disdain and ignorance when it comes to Islam, and Muslim values I have never heard that in English texts outside the U.S
5:03 Muhammad came to Madinah on the 10 Muharram, which would have corrisponded to the holiday of Tisha Be Av, not Yom Kippur. This day commemorates, among other things, the destruction of the Jerusalem temples. The description of the festival -being saved from the enemy and the mention of Moses - sounds a lot more like Pesach, perhaps the fast of the first borns. Usually jewish Holidays, especially the ones related to surviving, are celebrated with eating, not fasting. It seems several jewish holidays got mixed up... "It is related by Imam Bukhari on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas that when the Prophet came to Madinah he found that the Jews observed the fast of ‘Ashura. He enquired about it from them and was told that it was the day on which God had delivered the Children of Israel from the enemy and Moses used to keep a fast on it as an expression of gratitude to the Almighty. The Prophet thereupon, remarked that “Moses has a greater claim upon me than upon you,” and he fasted on that day and instructed his followers to do the same."
As a person who grew up "Christian" in the western world, I would say when we say Judeo-Christian, we don't mean Jewish and Christian, we mean Christianity, which acknowledges its roots in Judaism.

unfornatelly the descrepancies in the theology are really huge as jesus is considered the true savior of all humanity and secondary G"D who became flesh just to save from original sin of adam und even considered a heritage only to be cancelled by baptisme and cruxifiction of Jesus blood without this sa error acceptance we jews are nor reconcilaited with G"D neither saved according to them. So in eretz israel the missionaries are very activ as Islam in europe. Thks for your attention
I am unsure about the legitimacy of her sacking, but the professor is wrong. The idea that Christianity worships the same God as Jews and Muslims is untenable. I rarely use the phrase 'Judeo-Christian' nowadays.
we are brothers because we jews consider all human n beings G"D s creature Israel is in some way in At arzabaijan just to control Iran threating israel to exterminate. Not because we do not consider Armenia despite we are supporting arzabaijan because it selling us oil for air aircraft as the rest the world particularly the radical islam and EU s policy are denying us. The relationship with arzabaijan is based only to a strategic military decision just to control iran s borders. We love all G"d s creatures with the hope one day to live in peace together by stopping bloody wars in name of policy and religion. Thks
The fact that Islam has used both Jewish and Christian scriptures and traditions - especially Jewish traditions, makes it no surprise that Islam and Judaism are very similar. Hebrew and Arabic are very similar too, whereas eventually Christianity stopped using Aramaic/Hebrew and used Greek and Latin instead. The problem is that the Jewish tribes of Madina rejected Muhammad's claim to prophethood and the Qur'an as of divine origin. This led to extreme anti-semitism amongst Muslims so that the Jews were not treated well by Muhammad and the Muslims. We now have the paradoxical situation of two major religions which are very similar but so far apart.
Also, some scholars suspect that the Christianity that existed in Arabia around the time of Muhammad seems to be closer to Gnosticism (including Mandaeism, AKA Sabaeanism, which is mentioned many times in the Qur'an) than the mainstream Christianity that was prominent further north and around the Mediterranean.
This is one of your most contentious videos in my personal opinion, collaborating with someone who undeniably opposes the existence of Jewish autonomy in the Land and has spoken about such matters.
Who are the Banu Qurayza? Are there any Jewish documents that would back up the slaughter of this tribe? How would you describe King David's relationship to HaShem?
I have a question I always wanted to ask to a Jew or someone who studies judaism: Islam in the Qoran claims that Jews universally believe in a certain "Ozair", Arabic عزير who is the son of God in the same sense of traditional Christianity.. Quran 9:30.. For somebody who reads the bible only, like me, never finding something like that, my question is: Was there ever even in some minority Jewish sect or anything in the Jewish classical literature, religious or not, anything about that? Please point the reference.. I'd be thankful..
Well I’m not sure abt my knowledge of islam but Jews only believe in 1 god. Allah equals our Hashem if the Quran does say this and points us as the same as Christianity then it’s an obvious mistake
It is likely a simple error made by Muhammad. No disrespect meant to Muslims by that statement. There is simply no evidence of a Jewish sect worshiping Ezra.
100% confirm! We as muslims have so much in Common with Jahudis that we are allowed to pray in synagogs when no mosque is there. And many rabbis said the same ...when jahudis have no synagoge, they can pray in mosques... Jahudis have the same God like muslims...we don t pray to anyother than God/Allah/Elahohim/Yahwe or Ilah in older jewish aramaec scriptures... We are the descendants of Prophet Ibrahim/Abraham as...the Jahudis through Prophet Isaak/Ishak as and we through Prophet Ismail/Ischmael as.... The only difference is that we accept Prophet Isa/Jesus as and Prophet Muhamad saw, too.... In the Quran Prophet Musa/Moshe as from Banu Israel is more mentioned than Muhamad saw...and we love Prophet Jacob/Ya'cub as and his son Yusef/Josef as and Zakariya as and we follow all Prophets of Banu Israel sometimes more than Yahudis do...for example the Laws of Musa as are till today the basis of Islam...first Law is our Shahada "La Ilaha Ilalah" "There is no god(s) except Allah/God"... And our foreforefathers said: and Musa is His Messenger and Prophet"....today we say "and Muhamad is His Messenger and Prophet" but without to reduce the rank of Musa as. And our biggest festival when we Slaughter a Cow/Sheep or something like that...we did it to remember Abraham as cause he was the first who did it and we cut our pen... after Ibrahim as did it.... And we lived with jahudis in peace and Harmony till today except the sad situation of Israel....and we are NOT against a jewish state...we are against the Things that happen to muslims....if Israel could respect the rights of the muslim cititizens, NO muslim would be against Israel... The history between Christians and Jahudis were always bloody because they re jahudis... But when something happend between muslims and jahudis; that was NOT because of their race or religion...it was anythingelse like political problems or broken contracts like in the times of Prophet Muhamad saw...they didn t fight the arabian jews because of their religion like europeans told us in schools...it was because they betrayed the peace contract and they helped the arabian pagans of Mekka to fight the Muslims of Yathrib(today: Medina).... Oh Banu Israel Descendants, never forget that we are since thousands of years friends and neighbours....when we were the most powerful Civilization...you lived comfortable and in peace with us.... Give us the same right after you are the most powerful Civilization today
Just a correction: "Judeo Christian" is mostly used by Jews or Jewish organizations, like Ben Shapiro or Praguer U. Traditional Christianity has always treated Jews as no more than heathens, not some close ally (no offense).
Judeo-Christian refers to values not theology. You have to decide for yourself if your values are reflected better in sharia law or Christian tradition today, not 1,000 years ago. Sharia law is not compatible with modernity for most westerners today. There’s the decent and the indecent, like Victor Frankel said, choose the decent.😊
The berbers were largely christianized at the time of the Muslim conquest. Additionally, I feel like your video makes it seem that the Byzantine empire was some sort of corrupted state… it had fought a three decade long war with Persia, stating “destroyed itself is inaccurate.” It also seems like it glosses over the massacres of Jews in Arabia, and the loss of status the Jews had in Yemen. I feel like this topic always veers into orientalism. Like that the caliphate was benevolent, Jews and their status fluctuated with the time, but Jews were always second class citizens.
12:45 as a Jew from Israel grown up in a religous modern-orthodox household, I have never ever in my life seen the Hamsa being used as symbol of Judaism, it is generally used here by Jews from north Africa as an amulet against evil-eye (Ain Ha'ra עין הרע) Great video!
I believe it was much more commonly used before the formation of modern Israel when people switched to the star of David. It is also a very common symbol for Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews and is very common in diaspora communities like mine in Australia as it is slightly more subtle and more known as a symbol amongst the Jews. Rather than a star which everyone can recognise. Many of my family wear it instead of a star.
shalom brother, you have a nice channel with good content. I have a question tho, do you ever go live and allow discussion/question via skype (or other medium) that would be interesting. have a nice day God bless
Very good video, however you made a slight mistake in the map of North Africa post anit-ummayad revolution, and it is that the Bargwhata didn't control all of Morocco, they only controlled the coast. Most of the country was controlled by the proto-Shia dynasty of the Idrissids. And Algeria was controlled by the Ibadi sect under the Rustamid dynasty.
The Barghawata, Ghowara, and Miknasa were all part of the Great Berber Revolt, and while they were initially united under Maysara, I decided to simplify the map by skipping ahead to 749, after he had been deposed.
I never really understood the Judeo-Christian thing. Obviously, Christianity stems from its roots in Judaism but it's has a whole different theology and sensibility. So thank you for that. Indeed the links between the Jews and the Muslims around the question of Jerusalem are long running and profound. Christians are far more bit players in that area.
It was originally promoted by President Eisenhower as a signifier that Jews and Catholics had become unequivocally part of the American mainstream after World War II, whereas prewar politics had been largely defined by rural, white, English-speaking Protestants trying to protect their declining political power from everyone else. Of course, the US has to a great degree reverted to the pre-war political order, just with some slight adjustments, so what began as a term of inclusivity became one of exclusivity.
Interesting video, but just one point. You claim that both Monophysites and Nestorians put more emphasis on Jesus's human nature, but this is incorrect. The Nestorians certainly did, but the Monophysites actually went in the OTHER direction, placing more emphasis on his divine nature than his human nature. The current mainstream (Calcedonian) position is generally seen as the middle ground between the two, placing equal emphasis on both.
As an observent, practicing, and [one would say Orthodox other than the fact that I'm] Sephardic Jew living in America, I don't see the Hamsa as a prominent symbol for Jewish religious tradition. In fact, I (along with other prominent Rabbinical figures) view the Hamsa as "'aboda zara" or idol worship, noting it's Islamic origins and the notion that the Hamsa itself has the intrinsic "power to ward off evil" rather than God or man's actions.
As a Muslim, there is nothing Islamic about that symbol. It seems to be Egyptian folk thing, maybe from when the Shias ruled, as it is known as the 'Hand of Fatima' apparently. Most Muslims will not have heard of this thing.
I prefer the term "Abrahamic" because they all come from the same place, though since I'm an atheist, I find all religions equally idiotic no matter what similarities or differences they have.
Christian here: agree about the term "Judeo-Christian" being mostly just a political term. I can see why westernized jews would see Christianity as more similar to judaism as many have assumed the values of western civilization which definitely grew out of Christianity as their own. The Christian and Talmudic traditions both have a common source in second temple Judaism, but to call Christian values "Judeo" does a disservice both to Christians and to Jews.
It's admittedly more complicated than I make it here. The original context of the term was an effort by Eisenhower to project the idea that Jews and Catholics would no longer be treated as exotic curiosities in American politics following the Second World War, but obviously its usage has shifted since.
I'm Christian and view occasionally that Daoism and Tengriism are more similar to Christianity than Islam and rabinic Judaism. Albeit ancient temple Judaism reminds me more of High Church Liturgy and our very ritualised cycles in mass and outside (Lenten fasting etc)
I'm *loving* this video (I'm only at 2:23 so far), but I had to look up "Hasmonean Period" because I needed context; didn't know if this was during the time of Solomon or of Augustus.
Judeo-christian is a veeeery recent term. I thought it was from the 1950s, an american political invention/cold war propaganda, but I looked it up and the wiki says it is 19th century german, Judenchrislich, used by Friedrich Nietzche, which isn't much better...
Great video! I was wondering why in your videos about the early middle ages, your refer to the byzantine empire in your maps as the Roman empire? Is there a debate as far as naming or is it your personal choice to refer to it as such?
A bit of constructive-criticism regarding your videos, if you're okay with it: my least favorite part of your videos is the parts where you just cut to what I assume is just an animated drawing of yourself sitting in a dark room. It's actually really distracting from the rest of the video, and I feel the videos would be much better if you just kept the visual content limited to things that the video is actually about: such as the maps, etc. There have been several of your videos that I have wanted to watch, but then I decided not to because I'd rather not look at the animated drawing of yourself sitting in a dark room for half the length of the video.
I think there's a lot of--or used to be a lot of--people in the non-religious/atheist/agnostic community that have used the term "Judeo-Christian," also. (I don't know how common it is now, because I haven't really kept up to date on the goings on in that community.) In my experience in that community, it seems to be used to describe religious influence in Western (particularly American) culture and politics. As a former Christian, I've used the term myself in this manner. Having been a Christian once, I think it's because many Christians (the ones who aren't anti-semitic) see Christianity as having been born from Judaism, though with a very Christian p.o.v. of the process. I think you're right, though. Whatever Christianity and Judaism may have had in common back in antiquity, Christianity moved away from it almost completely, to where they have very little in common except for some names and details. And listening to your take on that term, and having watched you series thus far, I can see how that would be problematic. Thank you again, Sam, for putting together this series. I'm learning so much more than I ever have before about Judaism and the Jewish people., exponentially more than I ever could have in my previously religious life.
I do think that term (I think I heard Mr Beat saying about this) is used for how these religious dogmas influenced secular Western countries now rather than necessarily the similarity between the two, the so-called "Western values" (add some Roman Empire dogmas too).
I love your point about the term "Judeo-Christian" and that Jews & Muslims actually have more in common. I agree with you 100%.
th-cam.com/video/Cap4Wn8rj1U/w-d-xo.html
I think the phrase includes Judaism since its texts were inherited into Christianity without many changes, but Islam and the Qur’an have a lot of differences in the stories of the Tanakh and Nee Testament so there is less of a continuity there.
Especially considering the history of persecution that the jews faced in Europe and that, most ironically, the only area in Europe were jews we're allowed to prosper in peace was the islamic state of al andalus.

I must admit that I never thought about the term "Judeo-Christian" as excluding Islam, rather simply acknowledging the Jewish roots of Christianity, often as a synonym for "biblical" or "having its origin in the Bible". You certainly gave me something to think about.
It's often used in the US to purposefully exclude Islam from what they claim is western and US culture.
I disagree. Maybe inadvertently
Arther M. The term may have originated before the invention of Islam. Additionally, Christianity is wholly dependent on Jewish scriptural tradition albeit a reinterpreted mangled version where they insert Jesus all over the Hebrew Bible.
I think that when people say "Judeo-Christian" they mostly mean that Christianity literally came OUT of Judaism, it essentially started off as a just another Judaic sect. Islam, while drwaing inspiration from Judaism, was born independentally.
th-cam.com/video/Cap4Wn8rj1U/w-d-xo.html
I agree, this is basically how it's used. And it's a pretty recently invented term.
Of course, Muhammad wasn't jewish but Jesus was. Jesus sent to speak to Jewish in Jerusalem initially while Muhammad preaching to arabic people who never been jewish but still have bond with Abraham through Ismail tradition
It's not an inspiration from Judaism, it's a continuation of the same message as Noah, Abraham, Isaaq, Joseph, Moses, jeaus. It is the uncorrupted final word from God
Regardless of that though (and I think its a fair point), I think we can agree that the term obscures the close relationship between Islam and Judaism, which contributes to the securitisation of Muslims in the West
As a Muslim I totally loved this video
Ironically when a Sunni and Shia dispute about Omar, with the Shia cursing Omar - Sunni will revert to Jewish sources describing Omar as a "good ruler"
Coming from a Syriac-Palestinian Christian background whose ancestors followed Rabbincal tradition (along with Aramaic Targums) before the NT was eventually compiled and standardized, I personally feel somewhere in between Judaism and Islam. Both had a major influence on us and vice-versa, and all of us at some point and still do have conflicts with western fundamentalist "Christian" sects with warped and quite often bigoted views.
we jews do not believe in jesus as G"D who became flesh. We do not believe in the heritage of the original sin see pls the prophet Ezehiel chap. 18. G"D is a merciful G"D who accept a sincere repentance see psalm 51 in the Jewish bible. We observe shabbat.
@@mariawolf5843 Some Jews do believe in Jesus and the first Christians were largely Jews.
The whole "original sin" thing is more of a later emphasis by the western churches. Redemption for us is not merely about individual sins committed but about transforming the root causes behind what leads us to sin in the first place.
Anyway, not all Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc believe the same exact way, and although that has led to conflicts, diversity of thought is what makes us human.

Peace brother.
As someone coming from a Christian background, I always found the phrase "Judeo-Christian" weird, especially when used in contrast with Islam. If anything, both Judaism and Christianity have more in common with Islam than they do with each other. I can't think of much that they share that neither shares with Islam.
So, are soldiers fighting over whether Isaac or Ishmael was on the altar?
From what I can tell, the phrase was used in WWII (in contrast to Nazism), the Cold War (in contrast to Communism), and the War on Terror (in contrast to Militant Islam). The first two made some sense, but the last one seemed odd to me. It seems like just a way to talk about the Abrahamic religions to the exclusion of Islam.
On a related note, from what I can tell, the term at one point used to refer to Christians of a Jewish background. My family has an old Bible with commentary in the NT talking about the contrast between "Judeo-Christians" and "Gentile Christians" in the Church. I found that interesting.
While there are certainly people on both sides who would like it to be otherwise, the Arab-Israeli conflict has never been about religion- rather it is a conflict over land, national self-determination, and regional influence/political vision. Both Israel and (at least at the outset) its primary enemies are predominately secular societies, and in fact Israel was the first non-Communist country to have a non-religious majority.

@@SamAronow wrong on too many levels. Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and Iran are secular? Their narrative that the Zionists are white European converts that have no claim to the land. Even their narrative is faith based. The Mufti of Jerusalem, a major Nazi collaborator from Mandate Palestine, was also a clerical. For the early conflict that might be somewhat true, PanArabism was mostly a nationalist movement that wanted the land "arab exclusive", but the justification for the conflict is faith based in its roots. Take a look on early pogroms that happened in that area or ban on Jewish immigration to prevent "judaization" of the region that local Muslims feared.
@Julio Altamiranda according to Islam, a Jew or a Christian can live under the Islamic rule, but s/he has to pay jizya, a tax on being non Muslim under Islamic protectorate of sort, if you can call it this way. Also the idea of non Muslims ruling over Muslims is unacceptable too. Hence why we see total disregard towards western 'regimes' by the Muslim immigrants. Islam has come to replace Judaism and Christianity that it considers corrupted, they only get a pass because they too are monotheistic, so a Muslim man can marry a non convert women of these religions, but they have to raise their children Muslim to get them away from corruption of the two. The point is, the Muslim perspective is that these two should be completely taken over by Islam.
@@SamAronow religion still has a role in the conflict, the right wing government continues to build settlements and calling the west bank "Judea and Samaria" , Naftali Bennett was literally holding the Bible and saying that the West Bank is a part of the promised land in an interview with Mehdi Hassan, Islam also influences the Arab side, many verses in the Quran and Hadith speak about the 2nd rise of the Israelites and the war at the end of times between the Muslims and the Jews

It's important to note that not all Christians believe in the trinity, I certainly don't according to Deuteronomy 6:4 it says "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might"

Unitarianism is as old as Christianity but has never gained a foothold within Christian societies. Trinitarianism is the predominant belief of all major Christian sects since the Council of Nicea onwards.
Edit: there are also theories stating that early forms of Messianic Judaism(Ebionites), which was notably Unitarian laid the foundation for Islam, and the reason why Christianity was predominantly trinitarian was because early Unitarian Churches in the Middle East became assimilated into Islam as they shared a common belief.

Thank you for this video! I've always felt that the Judeo-Christian moniker was silly for the reason you cite, the closer similarities to Islam, but I also object to the name because it is used by some Christian groups to minimize Judaism as its own religion, to instead be treated as a vestigial branch of Christianity!
Unfortunately my understanding lacks the historical context, but your video has helped alleviate my lacking in this regard.
You are fully right
I get where youre coming from, but lets just look at the facts of the matter. The descendants of many different pagan groups living quite far from the levant adopted the abrahamic tradition and believe a jew to be their prophet, and follow the teachings of said man. As much as those beliefs evolved away from judaism, thats still very much the basis of christianity, its wholly derivative of abrahamic tradition. Antisemites are most likely to divorce christianity from judaism in their beliefs in my experience. Ive never seen judeo christian used in a way that does anything but acknowledge the root of western abrahamic religion, and how a set of values far more similar to jewish ones than former european values was adopted. I believe the muslim exclusion to be far more attributed to the holy wars and especially the attempted conquest of southern europe than anything else. Jews never invaded europe, and longstanding conflict separates people even if their beliefs are similar, see catholics and protestants in ireland. It can be argued that acknowledgment of jesus makes christians more similar to muslims than jews, its the conflict and its role in european history from crusades, to iberian islam, to barbary pirates, to present day friction between the two, while at the same time christian states were instrumental in israels creation and continued existence that causes christians to see more in common with jews than muslims. In short, the actual theology takes a backseat to real world events in the christian eye, especially when actual jewish philosophy is so hard to grasp. Sams videos really put it into context that between maimonides, The bal shem tov, and so many others, the average christian only knows yahweh is their god too and that means theyre related. Unlike jews, the majority of christians do have central authority especially pre reformation; its just not that nebulous. Such is the nature of a belief in which the messiah came vs one where he will come someday. Many might view muhammad as exterior and later to the tradition, as a false prophet perhaps, meanwhile all ancient jewish prophets are revered in christianity, even though that sentiment doesnt flow both ways. This creating a situation where they view jews as more similar than jews view them, in the same way mormons feel they are christian while many christians dont agree. Essentially c grows out of j, i is a different outgrowth and not part of c's tradition, begetting similarity between c and j, j is the base and sees it totally differently, and takes a theological approach to which one is closer to them, given both have a spotty record of treating jews in general. Theologics aside, the actual demographics of where jews leave and where they go in more modern times shows who they feel safer around, and maybe that counts more, food for thought.

Very good video! I'm also bothered by certain christian-americans using the term "Judeo-Christian". The adjacent growth of Judaism and Islam in the middle east has greatly influenced both religions.
There's a lot of pressure in certain American fundementalist circles to position their version of Christianity as a logical conclusion of Judaism. You see this in things like misappropriation of the shofar, books like the Left Behind series depicting Jewish rejection of Jesus' divinity as irrational and purely spiteful, or a certain member of Congress past publicly calling Jews "incomplete."
Of course, this belief requires ignoring endless volumes of Jewish law and the lived experience of Jews whom most of this persuasion consider unreliable sources for reasons having nothing to do with religion, but that's nothing new; after centuries of hosting a Jewish population, Medieval France was scandalized to the point of national crisis by the discovery that the Talmud even *existed.*

I don't believe it's true that Christians are the ones using the term Judeo-Christian. I believe it's secular people that use the term, secular Jews too.
I think it's people that want to claim the values of the west as their own but don't have an understanding of theology.
But doesn't christianity also have the exact same hebrew bible? It cannot be denied there is at least a significant shared heritage. But keep in mind it's from the first century and as with most things history doesn't stop there, and later theologians in both traditions tried to emphasize the distinction at varies points.
Depends on the version of Christianity. All extant versions of Christianity that I'm aware of use a translation of the Vulgate, which pre-dates the current Jewish version, the Masoretic Text (though it's closer than their initial version, the Vetus Latina, which was translated from the Septuagint). Additionally, most Christian versions have the books divided differently and in a different order, and Catholic, Orthodox, and Monophysite churches have various additional books in the OT that aren't canon in Judaism.
@@SamAronow Thanks for your answer 👍
Protestant Christians do use the Masoretic Text to my knowledge. Catholic and Orthodox I think rely more on the Septuagint.
Regarding the order of books, it might be because they were originally scrolls and not in a standardized codex form at that time.
Nah, nobody used the Septuagint or its derived forms anymore. Medieval churches realized it had problems.
But aren’t those Christian and Judaic differences much less significant than those between the texts of Judaism and Islam?

I know your point isnt to get bogged down in Christian theologocal issues, but you shouldn't group the theologies of the Oriental Orthodox Churches (Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Malankara, etc.) In with the Nestorian Churches saying they place a greater emphasis on Jesus' divinity like that. If you were you put them on a line the Catholic/Eastern Orthodox/predominant protestant position would be somewhere in the middle on classical analysis, and merely linguistically different according to many contemporary theologians. In fact the Oriental Orthodox's main criticism of the Catholic/Eastern Orthodox position was that it was too close to Nestorianism. Its also probably not right to say that they place a greater emphasis on Christ's divinity. All 3 groups are Nicean meaning they recognize that Jesus as fully human and fully divine, but they differ on how those 2 natures relate each other. The Church of the East's theology (Nestorianism) could be said to place a greater stress on Jesus' divinity by dimishing his humanity, but its probably better to just go with the standard 1 sentence explanation of (probably more accurate to say it underplays His humanity by seperating His humanity and Divinity into 2 persons). Catholic/Orthodox say He is one person with 2 natures one fully human one fully divine. Oriental Orthodox say He has 1 nature that is both fully human and divine. Obviously that glosses over a lot of debate and reasoning about why it matters as well as firther technical distinctions like the difference between Miaphysite and Monophysite, and later Christoligical issues like Monothelitism, but that is the 1 sentence version. Love the series though.
but they consider jr error i jesus as the mashiah of israel the savior of the humanity just to cancel the original sin consider by all christianity an heritage of all the human beings as after the fall of adam and eve so the death entered into the world and nobody now according to them can do the good and reconciliate with G"D except by accepting Jesus sact error sacrifice of the cross and his blood shedding. But pls consult Ezehiel chapt. 18. thks for your attention so there is deep difference between christianity and judaism secondary islam discriminated jews and this video is forgetting this.
"judeo-christian" refers to Chirstianity's Jewish roots, and depending on who you ask Christianity fulfills Judaism or just broke off from it. Most of Christian scripture is of Jewish origin, most of the old prophets were Jewish and Jesus and was a rabbi, and his disciples were all Jewish. Rabbinical Judaism and islam are more similar to each other than they are to Christianity in many ways though.
2 things of note for me, 1. I am 1000% in agreement that the term “Judeo-Christian” is absolute nonsense. 2. I am seething with anger every time you say “Roman” instead of “Byzantine”!!!!
Byzantium is a term that came mostly out german theologians. East Roman is the correct naming.
byzantine term was born later despite the orient roman empire was at the beginning more correct. Thks for your excellent question
Byzantines: I'm the true continuation of Rome!
Me: Shut up Greece, nobody was talking to you.
it's Roman.. byzantine is a fake name created by german
As a Christian I totally agree that Jews and Christians do not worship the same God. Well said.
Then you’re not really a Christian.
Monophysites believed Christ nature was altogether Divine and not two nature's in one body.
As a Christian I have to agree Judaism is closer To Islam.
I'm so glad that Al Muqaddima clarified that the Abu Qurayza were sentenced by one of their own, and the conflict with Jews of Medina were over what they did rather than over their religion.
Excellent video. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
Judeo-Christian is a purely American term. Born out of American disdain and ignorance when it comes to Islam, and Muslim values I have never heard that in English texts outside the U.S

Muhammad came to Madinah on the 10 Muharram, which would have corrisponded to the holiday of Tisha Be Av, not Yom Kippur. This day commemorates, among other things, the destruction of the Jerusalem temples.
The description of the festival -being saved from the enemy and the mention of Moses - sounds a lot more like Pesach, perhaps the fast of the first borns. Usually jewish Holidays, especially the ones related to surviving, are celebrated with eating, not fasting.
It seems several jewish holidays got mixed up...
"It is related by Imam Bukhari on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas that when the Prophet came to Madinah he found that the Jews observed the fast of ‘Ashura. He enquired about it from them and was told that it was the day on which God had delivered the Children of Israel from the enemy and Moses used to keep a fast on it as an expression of gratitude to the Almighty. The Prophet thereupon, remarked that “Moses has a greater claim upon me than upon you,” and he fasted on that day and instructed his followers to do the same."
That is incredibly awesome!
Yeah, then he plagiarized other verses in a pathetic way and got poisoned.
MashaAllah nice job
I wish you had gone into more detail about the differences between faith and belief, as you see it. It is a deep subject so I totally understand.
As a person who grew up "Christian" in the western world, I would say when we say Judeo-Christian, we don't mean Jewish and Christian, we mean Christianity, which acknowledges its roots in Judaism.
OMG, this is Great!!!
You started off with stuff I've come familiar with over the years, then......boOOom! 💥 Educational Explosion!! 🤯
Dammit, I love Learning!!
High Five Guys! ✋🏼
Just would like to point out that the term "Berber" is generally not the prefered or used term for the people and can be considered offensive, most of them go by Amahzig
Hoped this video was about theological similarities between the two relegions as it started rather than the historical events that took place in the the region
This channel is about Jewish history...
unfornatelly the descrepancies in the theology are really huge as jesus is considered the true savior of all humanity and secondary G"D who became flesh just to save from original sin of adam und even considered a heritage only to be cancelled by baptisme and cruxifiction of Jesus blood without this sa error acceptance we jews are nor reconcilaited with G"D neither saved according to them. So in eretz israel the missionaries are very activ as Islam in europe. Thks for your attention
I am unsure about the legitimacy of her sacking, but the professor is wrong. The idea that Christianity worships the same God as Jews and Muslims is untenable. I rarely use the phrase 'Judeo-Christian' nowadays.
Theologically you’re wrong.
From a fellow lover and student of Jewish history, this channel is great
Azerbaijan and İsrael are brothers. Toda raba İsrael
we are brothers because we jews consider all human n beings G"D s creature Israel is in some way in At arzabaijan just to control Iran threating israel to exterminate. Not because we do not consider Armenia despite we are supporting arzabaijan because it selling us oil for air aircraft as the rest the world particularly the radical islam and EU s policy are denying us. The relationship with arzabaijan is based only to a strategic military decision just to control iran s borders. We love all G"d s creatures with the hope one day to live in peace together by stopping bloody wars in name of policy and religion. Thks
You're not brothers. Just acquaintances.
The fact that Islam has used both Jewish and Christian scriptures and traditions - especially Jewish traditions, makes it no surprise that Islam and Judaism are very similar. Hebrew and Arabic are very similar too, whereas eventually Christianity stopped using Aramaic/Hebrew and used Greek and Latin instead. The problem is that the Jewish tribes of Madina rejected Muhammad's claim to prophethood and the Qur'an as of divine origin. This led to extreme anti-semitism amongst Muslims so that the Jews were not treated well by Muhammad and the Muslims. We now have the paradoxical situation of two major religions which are very similar but so far apart.
Also, some scholars suspect that the Christianity that existed in Arabia around the time of Muhammad seems to be closer to Gnosticism (including Mandaeism, AKA Sabaeanism, which is mentioned many times in the Qur'an) than the mainstream Christianity that was prominent further north and around the Mediterranean.
This is one of your most contentious videos in my personal opinion, collaborating with someone who undeniably opposes the existence of Jewish autonomy in the Land and has spoken about such matters.
Could you explain more about Banu Qurayza and their origins? Great Animations btw
Who are the Banu Qurayza? Are there any Jewish documents that would back up the slaughter of this tribe? How would you describe King David's relationship to HaShem?
I have a question I always wanted to ask to a Jew or someone who studies judaism: Islam in the Qoran claims that Jews universally believe in a certain "Ozair", Arabic عزير who is the son of God in the same sense of traditional Christianity.. Quran 9:30.. For somebody who reads the bible only, like me, never finding something like that,
my question is: Was there ever even in some minority Jewish sect or anything in the Jewish classical literature, religious or not, anything about that? Please point the reference.. I'd be thankful..
Well I’m not sure abt my knowledge of islam but Jews only believe in 1 god. Allah equals our Hashem if the Quran does say this and points us as the same as Christianity then it’s an obvious mistake
It is likely a simple error made by Muhammad. No disrespect meant to Muslims by that statement. There is simply no evidence of a Jewish sect worshiping Ezra.
@@teehee4096 That Muhammad made errors is nothing new, happens to all humans, especially when they are schizophrenic.
100% confirm! We as muslims have so much in Common with Jahudis that we are allowed to pray in synagogs when no mosque is there. And many rabbis said the same ...when jahudis have no synagoge, they can pray in mosques...
Jahudis have the same God like muslims...we don t pray to anyother than God/Allah/Elahohim/Yahwe or Ilah in older jewish aramaec scriptures...
We are the descendants of Prophet Ibrahim/Abraham as...the Jahudis through Prophet Isaak/Ishak as and we through Prophet Ismail/Ischmael as....
The only difference is that we accept Prophet Isa/Jesus as and Prophet Muhamad saw, too....
In the Quran Prophet Musa/Moshe as from Banu Israel is more mentioned than Muhamad saw...and we love Prophet Jacob/Ya'cub as and his son Yusef/Josef as and Zakariya as and we follow all Prophets of Banu Israel sometimes more than Yahudis do...for example the Laws of Musa as are till today the basis of Islam...first Law is our Shahada "La Ilaha Ilalah" "There is no god(s) except Allah/God"...
And our foreforefathers said: and Musa is His Messenger and Prophet"....today we say "and Muhamad is His Messenger and Prophet" but without to reduce the rank of Musa as.
And our biggest festival when we Slaughter a Cow/Sheep or something like that...we did it to remember Abraham as cause he was the first who did it and we cut our pen... after Ibrahim as did it....
And we lived with jahudis in peace and Harmony till today except the sad situation of Israel....and we are NOT against a jewish state...we are against the Things that happen to muslims....if Israel could respect the rights of the muslim cititizens, NO muslim would be against Israel...
The history between Christians and Jahudis were always bloody because they re jahudis...
But when something happend between muslims and jahudis; that was NOT because of their race or religion...it was anythingelse like political problems or broken contracts like in the times of Prophet Muhamad saw...they didn t fight the arabian jews because of their religion like europeans told us in schools...it was because they betrayed the peace contract and they helped the arabian pagans of Mekka to fight the Muslims of Yathrib(today: Medina)....
Oh Banu Israel Descendants, never forget that we are since thousands of years friends and neighbours....when we were the most powerful Civilization...you lived comfortable and in peace with us....
Give us the same right after you are the most powerful Civilization today
That oriental-y english font in the thumbnail goes hard
Just a correction: "Judeo Christian" is mostly used by Jews or Jewish organizations, like Ben Shapiro or Praguer U.
Traditional Christianity has always treated Jews as no more than heathens, not some close ally (no offense).
Many pro-Israel Christians and Christian Zionist organizations are very anti-Semitic.
It's the other way around - Mistaaravim comes from the Arabic Musta'arab which means "Arabized" or "Arabicized". I discuss it in my thesis.
Great video, these collaborations are great!
Judeo-Christian refers to values not theology. You have to decide for yourself if your values are reflected better in sharia law or Christian tradition today, not 1,000 years ago. Sharia law is not compatible with modernity for most westerners today. There’s the decent and the indecent, like Victor Frankel said, choose the decent.😊
The berbers were largely christianized at the time of the Muslim conquest. Additionally, I feel like your video makes it seem that the Byzantine empire was some sort of corrupted state… it had fought a three decade long war with Persia, stating “destroyed itself is inaccurate.” It also seems like it glosses over the massacres of Jews in Arabia, and the loss of status the Jews had in Yemen.
I feel like this topic always veers into orientalism. Like that the caliphate was benevolent, Jews and their status fluctuated with the time, but Jews were always second class citizens.
12:45 as a Jew from Israel grown up in a religous modern-orthodox household, I have never ever in my life seen the Hamsa being used as symbol of Judaism, it is generally used here by Jews from north Africa as an amulet against evil-eye (Ain Ha'ra עין הרע)
Great video!
Devils: What in God’s name is this? Why don’t you just say God’s words?
As a Muslim, it means nothing to us either...apart from some superstitious Egyptians maybe
@@Snailryder This is magic, brother
I believe it was much more commonly used before the formation of modern Israel when people switched to the star of David. It is also a very common symbol for Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews and is very common in diaspora communities like mine in Australia as it is slightly more subtle and more known as a symbol amongst the Jews. Rather than a star which everyone can recognise. Many of my family wear it instead of a star.
I also hate that word, Islam is "almost" Judaism except with a universal message.
Love the new animation,keep the great work
Thanks for this video, it’s hard to find an unbiased Jewish source on things like this
It is through the TRUTH that peace can be reached in the middle east. You are getting close to the truth, but not fully there yet.
shalom brother, you have a nice channel with good content. I have a question tho, do you ever go live and allow discussion/question via skype (or other medium) that would be interesting. have a nice day God bless
Very good video, however you made a slight mistake in the map of North Africa post anit-ummayad revolution, and it is that the Bargwhata didn't control all of Morocco, they only controlled the coast. Most of the country was controlled by the proto-Shia dynasty of the Idrissids. And Algeria was controlled by the Ibadi sect under the Rustamid dynasty.
Not in 749. The Idrisids and Rustamids established themselves 30-40 years later. I've already made the maps for that period.
@@SamAronow but neither did the Bergwhata. All Imazighen (Berbers) west of Tunisia were joined under one single Kharijite Imam.
The Barghawata, Ghowara, and Miknasa were all part of the Great Berber Revolt, and while they were initially united under Maysara, I decided to simplify the map by skipping ahead to 749, after he had been deposed.
@@SamAronow wow you did your homework. Few people even know that happened, congrats! I'll subscribe to your channel.
@@SamAronow best channel ever dude, i like the depth of details!
Judeo-Islam
I never really understood the Judeo-Christian thing. Obviously, Christianity stems from its roots in Judaism but it's has a whole different theology and sensibility.
So thank you for that. Indeed the links between the Jews and the Muslims around the question of Jerusalem are long running and profound. Christians are far more bit players in that area.
It was originally promoted by President Eisenhower as a signifier that Jews and Catholics had become unequivocally part of the American mainstream after World War II, whereas prewar politics had been largely defined by rural, white, English-speaking Protestants trying to protect their declining political power from everyone else.
Of course, the US has to a great degree reverted to the pre-war political order, just with some slight adjustments, so what began as a term of inclusivity became one of exclusivity.
Interesting video, but just one point. You claim that both Monophysites and Nestorians put more emphasis on Jesus's human nature, but this is incorrect. The Nestorians certainly did, but the Monophysites actually went in the OTHER direction, placing more emphasis on his divine nature than his human nature. The current mainstream (Calcedonian) position is generally seen as the middle ground between the two, placing equal emphasis on both.
As an observent, practicing, and [one would say Orthodox other than the fact that I'm] Sephardic Jew living in America, I don't see the Hamsa as a prominent symbol for Jewish religious tradition. In fact, I (along with other prominent Rabbinical figures) view the Hamsa as "'aboda zara" or idol worship, noting it's Islamic origins and the notion that the Hamsa itself has the intrinsic "power to ward off evil" rather than God or man's actions.
As a Muslim, there is nothing Islamic about that symbol. It seems to be Egyptian folk thing, maybe from when the Shias ruled, as it is known as the 'Hand of Fatima' apparently. Most Muslims will not have heard of this thing.
Very informative and no biases thank you! 🙏
I prefer the term "Abrahamic" because they all come from the same place, though since I'm an atheist, I find all religions equally idiotic no matter what similarities or differences they have.

“I’m going to pretend for a moment that I know what that means.”
- Me when talking about anything ever
Christian here: agree about the term "Judeo-Christian" being mostly just a political term. I can see why westernized jews would see Christianity as more similar to judaism as many have assumed the values of western civilization which definitely grew out of Christianity as their own. The Christian and Talmudic traditions both have a common source in second temple Judaism, but to call Christian values "Judeo" does a disservice both to Christians and to Jews.
It's admittedly more complicated than I make it here. The original context of the term was an effort by Eisenhower to project the idea that Jews and Catholics would no longer be treated as exotic curiosities in American politics following the Second World War, but obviously its usage has shifted since.
I'm Christian and view occasionally that Daoism and Tengriism are more similar to Christianity than Islam and rabinic Judaism.
Albeit ancient temple Judaism reminds me more of High Church Liturgy and our very ritualised cycles in mass and outside (Lenten fasting etc)
I think it could be that Jewish-Christianity disappeared for the most part but was preserved in Islam. Hence the similarities.
So funnily enough, when the usual suspects talk of Judeo-Christian values they don't realise they're actually talking about Islam lol.

I'm *loving* this video (I'm only at 2:23 so far), but I had to look up "Hasmonean Period" because I needed context; didn't know if this was during the time of Solomon or of Augustus.
Just found your channel,your videos are great
Judeo-christian is a veeeery recent term. I thought it was from the 1950s, an american political invention/cold war propaganda, but I looked it up and the wiki says it is 19th century german, Judenchrislich, used by Friedrich Nietzche, which isn't much better...
Great video! I was wondering why in your videos about the early middle ages, your refer to the byzantine empire in your maps as the Roman empire? Is there a debate as far as naming or is it your personal choice to refer to it as such?
Got it. thanks
A bit of constructive-criticism regarding your videos, if you're okay with it: my least favorite part of your videos is the parts where you just cut to what I assume is just an animated drawing of yourself sitting in a dark room. It's actually really distracting from the rest of the video, and I feel the videos would be much better if you just kept the visual content limited to things that the video is actually about: such as the maps, etc. There have been several of your videos that I have wanted to watch, but then I decided not to because I'd rather not look at the animated drawing of yourself sitting in a dark room for half the length of the video.
Could someone tell me what the symbol in the thumbnail is called? Thank you in advance!!
It is called the Hamsa, or the Hand of Fatima.
I think there's a lot of--or used to be a lot of--people in the non-religious/atheist/agnostic community that have used the term "Judeo-Christian," also. (I don't know how common it is now, because I haven't really kept up to date on the goings on in that community.) In my experience in that community, it seems to be used to describe religious influence in Western (particularly American) culture and politics. As a former Christian, I've used the term myself in this manner. Having been a Christian once, I think it's because many Christians (the ones who aren't anti-semitic) see Christianity as having been born from Judaism, though with a very Christian p.o.v. of the process. I think you're right, though. Whatever Christianity and Judaism may have had in common back in antiquity, Christianity moved away from it almost completely, to where they have very little in common except for some names and details. And listening to your take on that term, and having watched you series thus far, I can see how that would be problematic.
Thank you again, Sam, for putting together this series. I'm learning so much more than I ever have before about Judaism and the Jewish people., exponentially more than I ever could have in my previously religious life.
I do think that term (I think I heard Mr Beat saying about this) is used for how these religious dogmas influenced secular Western countries now rather than necessarily the similarity between the two, the so-called "Western values" (add some Roman Empire dogmas too).
Will there be more videos in the "Israel Election series" in the future?
“I’m going to pretend I know what that means” really got me giggling that was funny
You mention toying with the idea of doing a Hebrew set. I would love to see that!
I find up when I look up Muslim scholars decisions on topics, their response is very similar to Jewish decisions.
love this kind of video like connecting Jews and Muslims
