What does " intra-Abrahamic fault lines" mean?

Abraham is seen as the father of the Arab people as well as of the Jewish people. Muslims call him Ibrahim. Abraham has meaning to Christians also, but not one that could be seen as so conflicting—which it is if Muslims cannot acknowledge Jews as forefathers.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam all share a common link going all the way back to Abraham. If you look in the ancient texts you will see the same names appearing (even with Jesus in the Koran who is seen as being a very important figure and predicts the Prophet Muhammad will follow him)

We are all seen by Islam as people of the book.

They are just using the term to discuss the problems that exist between Muslims and Jews…probably influenced by what goes on with Israel and the Palestinians

I should add that you hear more about problems between Muslims and Jews due to the Middle East than you do about Jews and Christians or even Muslims and Christians (although there are problems just not as compared to what feels like almost a daily basis between Muslims and Jews)

So when they talk about the inter-abrahamic fault lines it is these relationships and how the Muslim/Jewish one is the one with the most arguing and fighting….and dangerous because you get things such as Iran wanting to blow Israel off the map…and Israel saying they would blow Iran off the map

Abraham was the father of both the Jews and Muslims. Read the Old Testament.

Abraham the father of Isaac whose descendants are the Jews (People of Israel) also fathered Ismael whose descendants include Mohamed, the great Prophet of the Muslim people.

The long-standing rift between these family lines is the subject of that expression.

“Fault lines” is a reference to plate tectonics, those being the places where the pieces of the Earth’s crust meet. They are characterized by tremendous amounts of pressure and friction. Earthquakes start at fault lines.

It’s an excellent metaphor; I’ll have to remember to use it myself.

I do not suggest that even an atheist use Time – or any other weekly publication – to get information about religions; they have neither the time, the resources, nor the inclination to do any of them justice.

It is joining together all faiths that point back to Abraham but separating Muslims from Jews over certain issues.

If you follow religious history (it seems you do not) then you know that Jews and Muslims did not exist the way Muslims say they did> there was terrible treatment

The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise is a non-fiction book written by Dario Fernández-Morera and published by ICI Books in 2016. In it, the author argues against La Convivencia, the hypothesis that the Spanish Islamic realms were religiously tolerant.
