Jewish leaders are calling for new editions of the Bible and Koran to carry warning messages which highlight anti-Semitic passages in the holy texts.
The recommendations have been made in a new document called ‘An End to Antisemitism! A Catalogue of Policies to Combat Antisemitism’.
It was produced following an international conference organised by the European Jewish Congress, at which academics gathered to discuss how prejudice and discrimination can be tackled.
Among the policies mentioned in the document was the idea of warning messages in holy texts, a topic discussed in a chapter entitled 'recommendations regarding Religious Groups and Institutions'.
The document reads: 'Translations of the New Testament, the Qur’an and other Christian or Muslim literatures need marginal glosses, and introductions that emphasize continuity with Jewish heritage of both Christianity and Islam and warn readers about antisemitic passages in them.
'While some efforts have been made in this direction in the case of Christianity, these efforts need to be extended and made consistent in both religions.'
There are several themes in the New Testament that have come under fire for their use as justification for anti-Semitic attitudes.
These include the blame of Jews for the death of Jesus and the seemingly stubborn nature of the Jewish people and their disloyalty to God.
While there are some negative remarks about Jews in the Koran, and negative portrayals of the people.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has previously spoken of how religious texts can be exploited or misinterpreted to promote discriminatory attitudes.

Catholics faced a lot of discrimination as well in the early 20th. Fortunately they were able to grow their way out of it.
I think you miss the point - it’s perfectly fine with the Jews for the Apostles to go after the goyim. They don’t like ANYTHING that suggests he said to go after the choisen people.
Both the Bible and the Koran were written by Semites.
Oh the irony.
I am not aware of one anti Semitic passage in the Bible. In fact the King of Kong’s and Lord of Lords is Jewish in His human lineage
“CAUTION: The following passage may save your soul!”
That may be but none of that is in the Bible
Ugh should be King of Kings
I read somewhere that the difference between Allah and Yahweh is that Allah instructs his followers to commit the atrocities that Yahweh reserved for himself.
Wow, critical difference in terms of the impact on everyone else!
The prophet Micah doesn't pull any punches either. Habbakuk?
How so? The Great Flood drowned everybody except Noah and crew, for one example of OT atrocity.
Like?
Atrocity? How about righteous judgement
That’s definitely a title I wasn’t familiar with!
Allah’s minions think their judgement is righteous, too.
Is that sufficient to commit mass murder?
John, 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
