The Gnostic tendency is a traditional remedy against Judaic influence, and that is why
Simone Weil followed Marcion into rejection of the God of Jews and the Old Testament.
Gnostic influence is particularly strong in Islam: Muslims, like Docetist Gnostics, believe that
the Crucifixion was just a vision, and that God brought Christ to Heaven while leaving an image
of a man on the Cross. By excluding the Bible from its Canon, the Muslims saved themselves
from the letter-bound Judaic tendency; by banning usury they blocked the way of the
Mammonite-Jewish alliance. By having neither Pope nor Vatican, they avoided concentration of
spiritual power in one place to the impoverishment of the rest.

The Muslim victory over the Jews was so complete that the Jews ceased to be a threat to
Islam. A small community dealing with the forbidden (interest, loans and magic spells) was up to
a point similar to the Burakumin of Japan, the pariah caste which engaged in animal slaughter,
forbidden by Buddhist law. But only up to a point: the Burakumin could not improve their lot by
strictly adhering to the Buddhist norm, while the Jews in the Muslim world could join the society
by accepting Islam. In The Thousand Nights and a Night tales composed in Abbasid Baghdad, a
rich, mean and nasty Jewish sorcerer, whenever defeated by Muslim hero, is required to forego
his evil creed. Jewish women were easily converted and given in marriage to Muslims.

That is why anti-Judaic ideology in Islam hardly exists at all; the Muslims do not need
and do not understand the anti-Judaic thought of West European or Christian Orthodox society;
and no amount of Protocols in print, not even the Jewish-led anti-Islamic propaganda can change
this fact. For Muslims, the Jews present no ideological danger; and the Jews have to fight them
with tanks and missiles instead of the more subtle means they use against Christendom. Talks of
‘Muslim antisemitism’ are not only misleading, they are simply wrong. But it also means that
Muslim influence is not liable to help besieged Christendom against its oldest enemy.
