Welcome to the Jewish-Islamic Dialogue Society (JIDS) of Washington Jews and Muslims have much in common. Both faiths are profoundly monotheistic and values-driven, which also means that both can be profoundly iconoclastic. Muslims and Jews trace their spiritual lineage to some of the same ancestors; indeed, Muslims accept the Jewish Patriarchs as prophets of God. Muslims and Jews additionally share many of the same core principles, including honesty, justice, mercy, generosity, respect for the sanctity of life, and the commitment to scholarship. |
