Interaction with Foreigners from the Viewpoint of the Hebrew Holy Book, the Talmud and the Holy Quran

Nowadays the escalating conflicts between the followers of different religions have given rise to insecurity in the world. Considering the religious texts and thoughts and their impact on the external interaction, can be effective in recognizing the causes of differences and solving them. In Judaism, ((Foreigners)) are the people other than the Jews and there is a dual view in dealing with the foreigners. As mentioned in some parts of the Hebrew holy text (Tanakh) and Talmud, on the one hand the foreigners differ from the Jews and are inferior to them in terms of race and on the other hand they are considered as respected creatures of God. Due to their belief in the racial purity and excellence of their own people, Jews have an inappropriate attitude towards foreigners. Research into the Jewish scriptures show that one of the most important reasons for the inappropriate attitude of the Jews towards the foreigners is relying on wrong beliefs penetrated into their religious texts. On the contrary, Quran considers all mankind as the same and does not regard any special race superior to the others. Rather, only piety, faith and good deeds are the criteria for superiority.
