◆ユダヤ人と反ユダヤ主義─第９回：イスラーム圏におけるユダヤ人
ムハンマド（モハメット）は、ユダヤ教から多くのことを学び、彼らを手厚くもてなした。彼がヒジュラ（聖遷）の場所としてメディーナを選んだのも、そこがユダヤ教徒の多い地域であったことが一因。
しかし、メディーナのユダヤ学者はムハンマドを嫌っていた。これは彼もある程度予想していたことでもあり、当初はユダヤ教に対して妥協的な態度を示していた。ヨム・キプール（贖罪日）での断食や、エルサレム礼拝などはその一例。
ところがユダヤ人側は、これに好意的な反応を示さなかったばかりか、ムハンマドと敵対するメッカのクライシュ族と交易関係をもっていたメディーナのユダヤ人の一部は、彼を裏切る行為に出た。この結果、ユダヤ人に対する彼の態度は硬化。礼拝方向をメッカに変更。
以後、ムハンマドによるユダヤ３部族（ナディール、クレイザ、クゥエイヌカ）個別撃破開始。
というわけで、イスラム教徒たちは、ユダヤ人虐めに熱意を燃やすようになるわけ・・・。はあ〜、宗教って何だろう？人間て何だろう？

Book Description
Truelove and Homegrown Tomatoes is a down-home story celebrating the enormous healing power of the Southern garden. Imogene Lavender, her daughter, Jeanette, and her niece, Loutishie, wage their individual battles with grief and find the answer to many of life's questions deep in the red-clay dirt of Euharlee, Georgia.
After forty-eight years of marriage, Imo's life is shattered when Silas, her beloved husband dies. She deals with her grief by throwing herself into nurturing both her vegetable garden and her girls. Imo's concern for Jeanette and Lou supercedes any desires for self-fulfilment, and she determines to go on with the "fever of this life on earth" solely to guide Jeanette and Lou through the perils of adolescence and too many visits to the Dairy Queen.
However, the longings of Imo's lonely heart and the persuasions of well-meaning friends send her off on a man-hunt. After a beautician at the Kuntry Kut 'n Kurl transforms Imo into a woman who looks two decades younger than her sixty-four years, Imo cruises the frozen food aisle of the local grocery, looking for single men buying TV dinners.
Lou records her aunt's man-hunt and her love for her vegetable garden in her journal, "Loutishie's Notebook." She also ruminates here about her own grief and her all-consuming fear of the Rapture of the Saints and store-bought tomatoes. Her story is about the family's passage to wholeness and brings us lessons on love, death, disappointment, and acceptance of change.
Imo's search for love leads her on a journey that is sometimes painful, sometimes comical, and always surprising. When life gets too complicated, she turns to her vegetable garden for solace and for distraction. The seasons of life, death, and love reflect the seasons in her garden, and ultimately, it is the garden that gives Imo a feeling of connection with her departed lovers and hope for the future.
