This Muslim scholar wants to revive the 'Judeo-Islamic tradition,' starting with Moses

Mustafa Akyol's new book, 'The Islamic Moses: How the Prophet Inspired Jews and Muslims to Flourish Together and Change the World,' explores the parallels between Moses and Muhammad and the historical encounters between the Jewish and Islamic worlds. Akyol highlights the peaceful and fruitful nature of the Judeo-Islamic tradition, which has often been overshadowed by the Judeo-Christian tradition. The book examines theological parallels and historical encounters, including the mass migration of exiled Iberian Jews into Muslim lands and the celebration of the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem by Jews. Akyol also discusses the challenges faced by Jews and Muslims in the modern era and the relevance of the Judeo-Islamic tradition in today's geopolitical climate.
