Saturday, May 19, 2007 BOSTOM'S BOMBSHELL <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized /2007/05/18/legacyofanitisem.jpg> Legacyofanitisem Andrew Bostom's latest tome <http://www.andrewbostom.org/content/view/27/1/> is completed. Enormously important and explosive in its revelations on Islam. I am plowing through the manuscript and it is astonishing. The cover act is Dehodencq's. "Execution of a Moroccan Jewess" is based upon the actual execution of a Jewess from Tangier, Morocco, Sol Hachuel, believed to have occurred in 1834. 3 Accused, falsely, of having become a Muslim, upon adamantly and steadfastly maintaining her Jewish faith ("A Jewess I was born, a Jewess I wish to die"), the 17 year-old Sol was beheaded publicly for this contrived apostasy from Islam. A detailed, near contemporary account of Sol Hachuel?s heroic martyrdom, based on eyewitness interviews was published in 1837 by Eugenio Maria Romero. The following <http://www.andrewbostom.org/content/view/26/1/> is a summary of Romero's narrative. Read Bostom's explanation of the cover <http://www.andrewbostom.org/content/view/26/1/> here. It is wildy fascinating. The younger of two children of Chaim and Simcha Hachuel, Sol was described as a beautiful young woman. 8 Her father was a merchant of very modest means, but also a highly educated man who conducted Talmudic study groups in the Hachuel household. Through these community gatherings, Sol acquired enough Jewish religious instruction to develop an unyielding confidence in her own Judaic beliefs. Typical of families that were not prosperous, Sol?s mother kept house, leaving her daughter practically to herself. Sol developed a friendship with a Muslim woman Tahra de Mesoodi. Apparently Tahra entertained the pious Muslim hope?a particularly important impetus under the code of Maliki Islamic Law predominant in Morocco?to convert infidels to Islam. 9 Romero elaborates: 10 Read more here <http://www.andrewbostom.org/content/view/26/1/> . This comprehensive, meticulously documented collection of scholarly articles presents indisputable evidence that a readily discernible, uniquely Islamic antisemitism-a specific Muslim hatred of Jews-has been expressed continuously since the advent of Islam. Debunking the conventional wisdom, which continues to assert that Muslim animosity toward Jews is entirely a 20th-century phenomenon fueled mainly by the protracted Arab-Israeli conflict, leading scholars provide example after example of antisemitic motifs in Muslim documents reaching back to the beginnings of Islam. The contributors show that the Koran itself is a significant source of hostility toward Jews, as well as other foundational Muslim texts including the hadith (the words and deeds of Muhammad as recorded by pious Muslim transmitters) and the sira (the earliest Muslim biographies of Muhammad). Many other examples are adduced in the writings of influential Muslim jurists, theologians, and scholars, from the Middle Ages through the contemporary era. More <http://www.andrewbostom.org/content/view/28/1/> here. Ibn Warraq writes the forward <http://www.andrewbostom.org/loj//content/view/61/44/> here. Excerpted below. Dr. Bostom is the first scholar to have had translated from the Arabic the works of commentators on Sura IX.29 like al-Baydawi, al-Suyuti, al-Zamakhshari, and al-Tabari. Other primary sources translated for the first time into English include documents on Jihad such as the one written by al-Ghazali , the celebrated Islamic Mystic or Sufi , laying to rest the myth that Sufis always interpreted jihad as an inner moral struggle against one's lower instincts. Muslim jurists and philosophers include Shiites al-Hilli and al-Amili (the latter translated from Persian), and representatives of all four Schools of Sunni Jurisprudence, Averroes (Maliki) , Ibn Taymiyya (Hanbali) , Shaybani (Hanafi), al-Mawardi (Shafi`i) , Ibn Qudama (Hanbali), and Ibn Khaldun (Maliki). Similarly, Dr Bostom is the first scholar to have overseen the translations of important , and in some cases , neglected or forgotten secondary sources from French works on Jihad by Edmond Fagnan, Roger Arnaldez, Charles Emmanuel Dufourcq, Clement Huart, Dimitar Angelov, and Maria Mathilde Alexandrescu-Dersca Bulgaru . Thus Dr.Bostom`s collection is truly wide-ranging, combining Shiite and Sunni , Classical and Modern, Koranic Commentators and Islamic Jurists and philosophers. There are regional examples of jihad campaigns , as well as analyses of jihad slavery by some of the most learned modern scholars of the Holy War. Dr Bostom has even taken care to find and reproduce beautifully color coded maps, with an accompanying chronology, depicting the initial five centuries of jihad conquests, and further primary documents detailing the havoc wrought by Muslims in the name of Jihad across three continents, over a period of a millennium . Both scholars and non-specialists should be grateful to Dr Bostom for making these documents available for further research. I wrote "should be grateful", but will everyone be pleased to have this comprehensive anthology that gainsays the myth of Islamic tolerance in an irrefutable way? And why did it take a non-specialist like Dr Bostom, a scholar from another discipline - clinical epidemiology, and randomized clinical trials in medicine - to discover, have translated and published for the first time in English, primary and secondary source material ? Where were the Orientalists 1, Islamologists and Professors of Near Eastern Studies?
