This article looks at the history of Jewsih-Christian relations in
terms of how the emergence of anti-Semitism within the Latin Catholic
Christian world can also be linked to the existence of a strong anti-Islamism in the Western Christian world throughout the middle ages up until the nineteenth century. The roots of this anti-Islamism can be traced back to the popular belief among the Christians that ‘Jews and Muslims were allies with each other against the Kingdom of Christ’ as they both were ‘Semites’. Both popular and academic as well as art culture reflect the ‘anti-Semitism and anti-Islamism’. The 18th and 19th century Orientalism seems to have borrowed this anti-Semitism and anti-Islamism as subtle attitudes in dealing with the Biblical and Islamic sources. The orientalist arguments on Islamic history, the Qur´an, the Sunnah and Muslim societies can be taken as examples of anti-Semitic representations of the so-called exotic Middle Eastern religion and culture, namely Islam.
