==== Origins ==== {{See also|Rashid Rida#On Zionism|Aftermath of World War I|Rashid Rida's World War Era Activities#Condemnation of the Post-War World Order|label 1=Anti-Zionist Campaign of Rashid Rida|label 3=Rashid Rida's Condemnation of Post-World War Order}} The origins of modern antisemitic trends in the [[Muslim world|Islamic World]] can be traced back to the ideas of the [[Syrians|Syrian]]-[[Egyptians|Egyptian]] [[Salafi movement|Salafist]] theologian [[Rashid Rida|Muhammad Rashid Rida]] (1865β1935 CE), who turned highly antisemitic after the [[British Empire|British imperial]] designs on the [[Arab world|Arab World]] after [[World War I|World War 1]] and their co-operation with [[Zionism|Zionists]] to further British objectives. [[1988 Hamas charter|The 1988 Hamas Charter]], and particularly its Articles 7 and 22, represented a condensed version of the [[Pan-Islamism|pan-Islamist]] anti-Jewish ideas cultivated by Rashid Rida. Rida believed that the international Jewry [[Stab-in-the-back myth|contributed to Germany's defeat]] in the First World War; in exchange for [[Balfour Declaration|Britain's promise]] to grant them Palestine. Furthermore; he asserted that they controlled Western Banking System and Capitalist system, created [[Communism]] in [[Eastern Europe]] and led [[Freemasonry]] to plot against World Nations. He also drew from Islamic traditions that displayed hostility to Jews and popularised them; rendering the conflict with the Zionists an apocalyptic religious dimension. Rida would persistently cite ''[[hadith]]s'' regarding the [[Islamic eschatology|End Times]] Jewish-Muslim conflicts; some of which would be included in the future Charter of [[Hamas]], such as:<ref>{{Cite book|last=McHugo|first=John|title=A CONCISE HISTORY OF THE ARABS|publisher=The New Press|year=2013|isbn=978-1-59558-950-7|location=The New Press, 38 Greene Street, New York, NY 10013|pages=162β163}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Achcar|first=Gilbert|title=The Arabs and the Holocaust:The Arab-Israeli War of Narratives|publisher=Actes Sud|year=2010|isbn=978-0-86356-835-0|location=26 Westbourne Grove, London w2 5RH, UK|pages=208, 250}}</ref> <blockquote>The Jews will fight you and you will be led to dominate them until the rock cries out: "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, kill him!"</blockquote>Rashid Rida condemned the Jews for their arrogance towards the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Prophets]] and arraigned them for abandoning religious values for materialism, all which made them recipients of Divine Wrath; which led to their downfall. He asserted that [[Allah]] decreed Muslims to construct [[Al-Aqsa Mosque|Masjid al-Aqsa]] in the ruins of the [[Temple in Jerusalem]] and favoured Muslims to rule the [[Holy Land]]s by implementing ''[[Sharia|shari'a]]'' (Islamic law) and upholding ''[[Tawhid]]''. Rashid Rida's anti-Zionism was part of his wider campaign as a towering figure in the [[Pan-Islamism|Pan-Islamist]] movement and would immensely impact subsequent Islamist, Jihadist and anti-colonial activists.<ref name="Ryad 2022 1β18">{{Cite journal |last=Ryad |first=Umar |date=2022 |title=From the Dreyfus Affair to Zionism in Palestine: Rashid RiαΈΔ's Views of Jews in Relation to the 'Christian' Colonial West |url=https://er.ceres.rub.de/index.php/ER/article/view/9762/9312 |journal=Entangled Religions |volume=13 |issue=2 |pages=1β18 |doi=10.46586/er.11.2022.9762 |s2cid=251877486 |via=Ruhr Universitat Bochum|doi-access=free }}</ref> He also severely rebuked [[Christian Zionism|Christian Zionists]], writing: {{Blockquote|text="It was astonishing that the intrigues of the Jews seduced many of the Christians of Europe and America by convincing them that believing in the Bible requires helping them to return to Palestine and the possession of Jerusalem β¦ etc., as a confirmation to the prophets and a realization of the appearance of Jesus regarding whose person and deeds the two groups [Jewish and Christian] differed [in their interpretation]. The Jews refer to their Messiah as the earthly king who will come to restore the kingdom of Solomon, whereas the Christians refer to Jesus, son of Mary, who will return in His kingdom to judge the world."|title=Al-Manar 30/7 pg. 555|source=<ref name="Ryad 2022 1β18">{{Cite journal |last=Ryad |first=Umar |date=2022 |title=From the Dreyfus Affair to Zionism in Palestine: Rashid RiαΈΔ's Views of Jews in Relation to the 'Christian' Colonial West |url=https://er.ceres.rub.de/index.php/ER/article/view/9762/9312 |journal=Entangled Religions |volume=13 |issue=2 |pages=1β18 |doi=10.46586/er.11.2022.9762 |s2cid=251877486 |via=Ruhr Universitat Bochum|doi-access=free }}</ref>|character=Muhammad Rashid Rida}}
