Summary/Abstract |
Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, widely considered the most influential Islamic scholar alive today, is the author of over 120 books and a spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. He is a member of many international Muslim organizations and the sharia advisor for a number of Islamic banks. Qaradawi is considered a part of the political centre (wasatiyya), positioned between those relying on ancient sunna and Qur’an (salafiyya) sources and the more moderate new stream. His sermons are broadcast live on television to millions of Muslims throughout the world. He also appears on a popular weekly television show dealing with current affairs regarding the sharia on the Al Jazeera network. His beliefs about the Palestinian‒Israeli conflict exert great influence over the Muslim public across the globe. This article represents his views and explains why the war against Israel is so important to the Islamic world.

Summary/Abstract |
Various factors shape European and Muslim migrant relations; one of these is European‒Jewish and European‒Israeli precedents. Hitherto, this factor has not been thoroughly discussed. This article focuses on the use of recent and past histories, by all sides, when describing present and future relations between the European majority and Muslim migrant minority. This discourse often makes reference to European Jewry as a guiding precedent, as well as to Israeli Middle Eastern policies. As a result, a meaningful triangle has been formed, whose sides consist of Europeans, Muslim immigrants and Jewish communities. The shared issues between them include the painful record of European‒Jewish relations and its implications for the European‒Muslim encounter; the Holocaust; the European Right, its agendas concerning Jews, Muslim immigration and its surprising contacts with the State of Israel; European restrictions against Muslim and Jewish worship and religious rites; among others. Repeatedly, the Muslim issue in Europe is referred to as the Continent’s ‘new Jewish problem’. Moreover, the contemporary integration experience of Muslim migrants in Europe is compared to that of Jews in earlier ages.
