A question to Jewish scholars (whether Jewish or Christian or agnostic or ...) - what do you see as the differences between modern Judaism and Islam?

I see the differences as (in no particular order): 1. Differences in whether Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac or Ishmael 2. Was the snake in Genesis, was it a fallen angel (Judaism - I think) or a Djinn - Iblis (Islam) 3. Was the Torah corrupted - Judaism "no of course not"; Islam "yes, everything before the quran" 4. Islam - Abraham built the Kaa'ba; Judaism "Nope" 5. Halal and Kosher differ 6. Animal sacrifices are not in place in Judaism any more. In Islam they still are - during Bakri Eid.

There are many others, but I'd like to learn more from those who have a deeper knowledge of Judaism

The difference is Islam is a curse upon the world and Judaism is a blessing (except for how Jews vote).

You left out the positions of each regarding hitting women. Mad Mo’s plagiarised garbage says its just fine

Just examine known mythology.The rather hilarious meme by Muslims in the West is that they try and convince Westerners that Allah is the dame entity as the Christian God.Nothing could be further from the truth. The Christian God and his son Jesus are in fact Yahweh and son.

Jehova or Yahweh is a completely different god than Allah. Yahweh is a God who arose in connection with the Jewish people over millennia.

Yahweh:

Allah evolved as a composite god, an amalgamation of Baal and Nannar/Sin. This is so readily apparent , Islam still displays the crescent moon that represents the old Mesopotamian goddess Sin.

Researcher here, and there are more: one partial list and another here (but true to form, if you search Google or Bing for islam contradictions of the bible then they will provide you as its top result and most others with links to alleged contradictions in the bible, and an overall poor results for what you actually are searching for)

And Quranic contradictions of the Bible are more significant in the light of the fact that the Quran claims to be a successor to Biblical revelation and affirms the integrity of the Book which it builds upon, and thus it cannot truly contradicted it, which it does, esp. the NT.

And in contrast to men such as Joe Smith whose writing also claim to be successor to the Bible, Christ did not truly contradict Scripture but prophetically and doctrinal He and His NT church were built upon the prior revelation of the established authoritative Hebrews Scripture it abundantly invokes and references. Thus the first Christians were devout Jews.

Also, at less than 80,000 words, (figures vary: 77,701 in Arabic by one source,[3] 77,439 by ‘Ata bin Yasar[4]) the Koran is much smaller than the Bible, (602,585 words in the Old Testament; 180,552 in the New = 783,037,[5] with the total words in just the verses in the KJV being counted at 788,258.[6]) The Qur'an is also far more restrictive in in its scope of communication,[7][8] lacking the manner of extensive historical narratives of the Bible, and the context it provides for its commands, as well as genealogical records which helps provide historical chronology. In addition, absent from the Koran are extended doctrinal discourses on salvation, such as are especially seen in the New Testament. (https://www.conservapedia.com/The_Bible_versus_the_Qur%27an)

It seems that when it was discovered that the illiterate Muhammad was ignorant of how he contradicted the Bible then Islam had to come up with the absurd claim that the Bible was corrupted wherever it conflicted with the Quran. But which would entail not simply some changes to the OT but almost a complete rewritting of the NT, which centers around the principle Truth Islam denies, that of the atoning death and resurrection of the Divine Son of God.

That Catholicism could and did engage in such is absurd, for even if it could, then she was extremely negligent, since it would not be hard to add to its texts clear statement to support distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels).

Hope this helps. Peace By Jesus.

I missed the part about blowing people up,chopping heads off,and stabbing.

I'm a Jew. You left off Judaism worships life and islam worships DEATH. Islam is garbage.

"Hamas: "Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah"

This article is garbage, trying to equate the two. Mohamed was a psychopath baby-raping beheader.

And re "islam's view of Jesus". That is MORE BS from someone who never read the koran. NOTHING in the koran makes sense date-wise. They have Jesus in the same time frame as Moses.

This is the essence of the koran:

If you took all weapons from Islamists, there would be peace. If you took all weapons from Israelites, there would be genocide.

You should add how does a conquering nation treat the conquered.
Under Islam, the conquered are given 3 choices:
1. Convert to Islam
2. Dhimmitude
3. Be Beheaded.

Under Judaism
1. Force you out
2. Stay and vote and protest.

Comparisons work best with things that share some degree of similarity.

I know this might sound a bit insensitive, inflexible, and certainly not PC, but they are both false religions. There are no differences between the two.

There is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ. Any religion that denies Christ as the Son of God, as we're told, suppresses the truth.

Not a popular message for today but the truth never the less.
