Top Iranian imam says Quran presents Jews as the enemies of the muslims. Is it right for a peaceful religion to have enemies named in its texts?

Khamenei’s Representative in Iran’s Fars province, Lotfollah Dezhkam, said in a Friday, February 3, 2023 sermon that aired on Fars TV (Iran) that the Quran teaches Muslims that Jews and Zionists are their enemies….

Lotfollah Dezhkam: “Today, global arrogance is your enemy. Whether you like it or not, those arrogants are your enemies.

[…]

“Jews – particularly Jews and Zionists – are presented [in the Quran] as your enemies. You see, recently they attacked our military site with one of their drones. They are your enemies, if you sit by and say that you want to befriend them, they will not become your friends. They want to destroy you. We have to get to know these enemies.”

 

[Charlie99]

A religion, or all faith and religion, should not and never state, encourage and promote emimity and hate.
Look at it logically, why are the Jews and Israelis, in many aspects smarter, more intelligent, and more successful, than a very significant of the majority of Muslims.

That is rubbish. Nothing mentioned sbout hating jews. Tehran snd baghdad had a huge jewish population before israel was created which caused animosity between jews and muslims.

Qur’an 5:51
O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends of one another. He among you who takes them for friends is of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.”

Qur’an 5:82
“You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe.”

I cannot believe that the Koran has those statements in it.

So the word 'zionist' is in the moslem qurans?

The jews and christians were part of the arab army as they conquered the southern portion of the Mediterranean. But during that time, the quran was not readily available yet. It was in the process of being compiled.

The peaceful koran name calling jews as apes and swines and curse non-believers:

2.111
And they say: None sh all enter the garden (or paradise) except he who is a Jew or a Christian. These are their vain desires. Say: Bring your proof if you are truthful.

2.88
And they say: Our hearts are covered. Nay, Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief; so little it is that they believe.

2.98 Whoever is the enemy of Allah and His angels and His apostles and Jibreel and Meekaeel, so surely Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers.

5.60
Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in retribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and of whom He made apes and swine, and he who served the Shaitan; these are worse in place and more erring from the straight path.

Before the compilation of koran, middle east and the silk route from middle east, afghan, north india to central asia are more peaceful and less killing.

bro @Loofydralb would be able to give you an answer.

Jews and Arabs are all children of Abraham. The Iranians are not, they are an Aryan people. We too are not. So why not we leave it to the brothers and cousins to resolve their own issues among themselves?

Allah will resolve this or Jews and Arabs will?

Even if all the jews moved out of israel and settled in a remote territory in south american, muslims will still continue to hate jews as the hatred is imprinted in the 'perfect' Quran. You will be surprise if i tell you sinkieland muud kids also know how to hate jews.

Utter rubbish, jews fled christian persecution and found safety in muslim ( or arab) land.

During the CaliphatesEdit​

A Jew and a Muslim playing chess in 13th century al-Andalus.
During the Middle Ages, Jewish people under Muslim rule experienced tolerance and integration.[8]: 55  Some historians refer to this time period as the "Golden Age" for the Jews, as more opportunities became available to them.[8] In the context of day-to-day life, Abdel Fattah Ashour, a professor of medieval history at Cairo University, states that Jewish people found solace under Islamic rule during the Middle Ages.[8]: 56  The Muslim rule at times didn't fully enforce the Pact of Umar and the traditional Dhimmi status of Jews; i.e., the Jews sometimes, as in eleventh-century Granada, were not second-class citizens. Author Merlin Swartz referred to this time period as a new era for the Jews, stating that the attitude of tolerance led to Jewish integration into Arab-Islamic society.[8]: 56 

Social integration allowed Jews to make great advances in new fields, including mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, chemistry and philology,[9] with some even gaining political power under Islamic rule.[8]: 55  For example, the vizier of Baghdad entrusted his capital to Jewish bankers, Jews were put in charge of certain parts of maritime and slave trade, and Siraf, the principal port of the caliphate in the 10th century, had a Jewish governor.[10] Increased commercial freedom increased their integration into the Arab marketplace.[8]: 58  Leon Poliakov writes that in the early ages of Islam, Jews enjoyed great privileges, and their communities prospered. No laws or social barriers restricted their commercial activities, and exclusive trade and craft guilds like those in Europe did not exist. Jews who moved to Muslim lands found themselves free to engage in any profession, resulting in less stigma than in Europe where such restrictions were still in force.[8]: 58  This, coupled with more intense Christian persecution, encouraged many Jews to migrate to areas newly conquered by Muslims and establish communities there.
