How Kosher are Muslims? The Image of Muslims in Traditional Jewish Sources

Armin Langer, Berlin / Germany

Language: English

Session:
Is a Jew allowed to go into a mosque? Can he/she pray there? If yes, only alone or also next to Muslims? In our shiur we will discuss these and similar questions using traditional Jewish sources, in order to get a better picture of how our Sages viewed our Muslim brothers and sisters.
