Maimonides ZT"L said Islam is a monotheistic religion , and happened to admire it more than Christianity. From what I've read, he even wrote that there is nothing wrong about Jews converting to islam since they would still remain Jewish. Is this particular statement true? What do you think caused Maimonides, one of the greatest Jewish scholars, to hold such an opinion? Was he not aware of genocidal anti-Jewish texts that exist in Quran and Hadith, or that Mohammed himself was a Jew-killing terrorist who slaughtered and enslaved thousands of Jews? Was there ever a Rabbi or Talmudic scholar in history who attempted to court islam for a Nazi religion it is? Also, what did Rabbi Kahane ZTL think of islam?
