Excellent- More about From Jews to Muslims: Twentieth-Century Converts to Islam
Twentieth-Century Converts to Islam explores the stories of Jewish intellectuals and activists who converted to Islam in the twentieth century, examining their religious and political motivations. It focuses on the work of late nineteenth-century European Jewish scholars of Arabic and Islam and their idea of the Convivencia as a model for contemporary inter-religious relations. It also highlights the emergence of Jews in Europe, the US, and Israel who left Judaism to become Muslims, rejecting the Biblical idea of Jews as a chosen people and joining a tolerant universalist religion that rejected Jewish particularism.

Twentieth-Century Converts to Islam explores the stories of Jewish intellectuals and activists who converted to Islam in the twentieth century, examining their diverse motivations and the impact of their conversion on their lives and the broader Jewish-Muslim relationship. The book focuses on the work of late nineteenth-century European Jewish scholars of Arabic and Islam, who were fascinated by Islam but chose to remain within Judaism. Their research explored Jewish-Muslim parallels and differences, and they proposed the Convivencia, a period of Muslim-Jewish intellectual and artistic cooperation, as a model for contemporary inter-religious relations. In the twentieth century, a new trend emerged of Jews in Europe, the US, and Israel leaving Judaism to become Muslims. Zionism, the political movement aimed at establishing a Jewish state in Palestine, was a significant factor in their conversion, as they rejected the Biblical idea of Jews as a chosen people and embraced a tolerant universalist religion that rejected what they saw as "Jewish particularism." The book's compelling narratives will reveal how the geopolitical events of the twentieth century confirmed, complicated, or refuted their aspirations.
