They are discussed in the Quran and the Hadith as well as i n many texts written by Jewish spiritual leaders. The alleged enmity betwe en Islam and Judaism and between Muslims and Jews\, proclaimed by some rad ical voices does not do justice to the rich and complex history and to tod ay&rsquo\;s reality of Muslim-Jewish relations. Generalizing Muslim-Jewish relations as either a relation of mutual hatred and war or as one of harm ony in the pre-modern era seem to be largely rooted in politicized views. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has often overshadowed Muslim-Jewish rela tions and has added to such a politization and polarization. However\, the re seems to be an increasing interest to look at Muslim-Jewish relations b eyond that conflict. Some initiatives of Muslim-Jewish dialogue have been established in the European and American diaspora. More recently\, ties be tween Israel and some Arab countries\, such as the United Arab Emirates\, Bahrain\, Sudan\, and Morocco\, have warmed with signing of agreements aim ed at normalizing relations. The latter has been controversial because the re is fear that they forego Palestinian interests. However\, they have led to new discussions in the Middle East and beyond about improving Muslim-J ewish relations. This might be related to another trend in some Muslim cou ntries to rediscover their Jewish heritage.\nWe invite scholars to reflect on today&rsquo\;s relations and trends of Muslim-Jewish relations. This i ssue will be focused on areas where Muslim-Jewish relations seem to be imp roving but we also welcome submissions that are more skeptical in their ou tlook. However\, we hope to receive well-argued pieces (5\,000 to 10\,000 words) that help us to identify trends and factors that determine Muslim-J ewish relations today. We especially welcome case studies that look at pro jects that rediscover the local or regional Jewish or Muslim heritage and case studies of interfaith projects.\nDeadline: April 30\, 2021\nFor more information\, please go to \;https://www.mdpi.com/journal/religions/sp ecial_issues/Muslims-Jewish\n DTEND:20210501T020000Z DTSTAMP:20240328T111029Z DTSTART:20210501T010000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:[CFP Journal] Special Issue of the journal Religions "Are Muslim-Je wish Relations Improving in the 21st Century?"

Muslim-Jewish relations have been di scussed throughout the past 1300 years. They are discussed in the Quran an d the Hadith as well as in many texts written by Jewish spiritual leaders. The alleged enmity between Islam and Judaism and between Muslims and Jews \, proclaimed by some radical voices does not do justice to the rich and c omplex history and to today&rsquo\;s reality of Muslim-Jewish relations. G eneralizing Muslim-Jewish relations as either a relation of mutual hatred and war or as one of harmony in the pre-modern era seem to be largely root ed in politicized views. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has often oversh adowed Muslim-Jewish relations and has added to such a politization and po larization. However\, there seems to be an increasing interest to look at Muslim-Jewish relations beyond that conflict. Some initiatives of Muslim-J ewish dialogue have been established in the European and American diaspora . More recently\, ties between Israel and some Arab countries\, such as th e United Arab Emirates\, Bahrain\, Sudan\, and Morocco\, have warmed with signing of agreements aimed at normalizing relations. The latter has been controversial because there is fear that they forego Palestinian interests . However\, they have led to new discussions in the Middle East and beyond about improving Muslim-Jewish relations. This might be related to another trend in some Muslim countries to rediscover their Jewish heritage.
\nWe invite scholars to reflect on today&rsquo\;s relations and trends of Muslim-Jewish relations. This issue will be focused on areas where Muslim -Jewish relations seem to be improving but we also welcome submissions tha t are more skeptical in their outlook. However\, we hope to receive well-a rgued pieces (5\,000 to 10\,000 words) that help us to identify trends and factors that determine Muslim-Jewish relations today. We especially welco me case studies that look at projects that rediscover the local or regiona l Jewish or Muslim heritage and case studies of interfaith projects.
