Abstract

Nowadays Islam is focused as an extremist religion and a group of western thinkers and media is portraying Islamic teachings as war mongering extremist revelations. In this paper we will take a view of sacred texts of Islam and Judaism and analyze their approach towards extremism and practical context by using scientific primary and secondary documental research methodology. The reason of taking Judaism into research with Islam is that Judaism is the oldest Semitic religion and Jews have a hold over world media and economy. It concludes that if the extremism is related to the sacred texts and prophets then Judaism has a lot of sacred text which call upon extremism.
