Spinoza

Some researchers think that Battle of Granada and sunset of Islamic era in southern Europe was the starting point to eliminate the consequences of Islamism in the region which was organized by the name of inquisition so that "Inquisition court in September 1480 in Seville began activities which was considered as an important center of Muslims. In the year 1486, Alfonso Delakav al-Raya from Jewish house of Levi, and sovereign Minister of Ferdinand, held the court of Inquisition in Barcelona. The Jewish Encyclopedia after saying the point clearly talks about his relationship with the Jews that [... means] he formed inquisition to prosecute Muslims and opposition to Jewish oligarchy." the fact is more clear when the situation of Muslims became worse after the fall of Granada and backgrounds for increasing abuses by Christians on Muslims were provided to the context that the persecution and torturing and the Inquisition of Muslims' million groups started so that till the first decade of the seventeenth century, about three million Muslims were displaced. The Muslims were not the only victims of inquisition because the Jews at this time found the opportunity to have the same threat they had with Muslims with some of the Jewish sects. These people were Qarayeeyun and apostates. After them Spinoza came. Spinoza is one of serious critics of Judaism, and in some cases, his criticism led to referring him as anti-Semitic, whereas he has been Jewish and one of the famous Jewish scholars as well.
"His ancestors were expelled from Spain and his parents emigrated from Portugal to the Netherlands." In fact, in a way, he is from generation of inquisition's victims in the Iberian Peninsula, which later rose against Rabbinic Judaism; in the fact, he cannot be called as Qarayeeyun and nor can we refer apostate word to him; however, he had homogeneous with Qarayeeyun and renegades which has led him be called even as anti-Semitism. Of course, Jews try to purify the title. They believe: criticism of Judaism and views of the Jews does not mean anti-Semitism in sight of these philosophers; neither Spinoza was anti0semitism and nor later Hegel, Kant, Fichte, Schleiermacher, Heine, Nietzsche and others who expressed their view for Jewish history and vote. In fact, the Jews in criticizing Judaism are trying to separate anti-Semitism from expressing their personal views. They also believe that "Spinoza was not altogether opposed to Jews and he did not oppose with the Jewish religion; his issue was Jewish synagogue and imposed dogmas by them which turned into the bells of danger to Jews to wake up and make them grow and do not stay behind." Jews without elaboration analysis of Spinoza's ideas, do not try to make him mythical opponents of Jewish and Judaism and nor absolve him of any errors that he has made.
Spinoza for his outstanding scientific personality is an honor and because of his critical opinions he is source of conflict, and what requires further reflection is that why Judaism with this approach, with this dual approach, does not prepare an answer to his criticisms? Why is not the reason of his opposition to the philosophy related to religion of Ibn Maymun is not clear? Who do not Jews represent a respond or a justification to Spinoza's disagreement about the election of the Jewish people? Though Jews accept the criticisms and in spite of Spinoza's behavior, they ignore it with the connivance and specific intention.
"Spinoza did not become a Christian. [...] but his attitude was no similar to the behavior of Jews who had converted to Christianity." He "believed in revelation and philosophical reason and thought. However, the answer to the question that why did not he stay in the Jewish community? Must be searched in conflict of his thinking with temple guardians' thoughts; according to the conditions Spinoza suggested for staying in the temple, he was allowed to stay, but he was blamed in charge of insult against God and Moses (though he believed that five books of Moses [pbuh] are not in the Torah of Moses [pbuh]) and his untoleratable acts (most likely due to not following the rules related to religious rituals), and they cursed him." Maybe this attitude has led him to believe that the Jews have evil nature, and even good features of Jews are the result of their evil nature. He stressed that unity of Jews and their support for one another is due to their hatred for all other people, and as a result, others hate them as well. Their state became extinct in Palestine, because God also hated them.
In 1656 Jewish community was outraged of the Spinoza lifestyle so much that it could not tolerate it anymore. So they excommunicated him and in continue, "the head of the temple, who was called Morteria, wrote to the municipality of Amsterdam that Spinoza's ideas about Bible is incompatible with Christian religion and according to this issue, he asked for his exile from the city, and the churches of one of the Christian sects also reiterated this demand. "Spinoza" was exiled from Amsterdam for a few months and went to Orkerk where was under the support of municipal authorities.
Shortly before leaving Amsterdam, an extremist Jewish intended to kill him and Spinoza survived from killer with the presence of mind and subtle move." According to a narrative, after the attack on him on the steps of the synagogue, he still wore cloak torn with a dagger. Although in anti-Semitism we cannot discuss Spinoza, the Jews in this regard act with elegance. They put responsibility of "historical misuse of anti-Semitism from Spinoza on shoulders of the Jewish community of Amsterdam." However, for rejecting Spinoza's thought, there is no choice other than it.
Inquisition had other consequences in the Span as well. The most important movement revising along with reconsidering Jewish points of view, was the advent of the Messiah by Shabtai Zui that despite its acceptance by the Jewish community, it had adverse effect on countries that Spanish Jews had migrated to. The story of Shabtai Zui started at the age of 22 in 1648, which was the year that in the book of Zohar, the Messiah's exact year of raise was introduced and ending years of thirty years of bloody wars, and treaties of Rhine was signed, and from then on, we can see the removal of the Christian Empire and the rise of nation-states in the sphere of international relations.
In fact, by the end of the Thirty Years War, the nation with the ethnic characteristics was replaced by people with religious characteristics and the opportunity was very welcome to Judaism that was based more on ethnicity than religion.
the Ottoman Empire welcomed many of the Jews that eventually by Jewish political and financial shenanigans he had sentenced them to embrace Islam, or death, and many Jews apparently converted to Islam; from this time we can see the rise of false Muslims in the Ottoman Empire as "dönmeh" that had an important role in future developments of the empire.
By inquisition, Judaism omitted inner and outer obstacles and by immigrations after that, they created a whole new chapter of present alternations in history of the sect; because by Jews' immigration, some of them came to Palestine and the issue led to some Jewish circles once again have the sweet dream of returning to the Promised Land. The first cry that arose in this way was cry of the "David Rubin" and his disciple, "Solomon Moloch" who tried in 1501 to 1532 AD composed Jews for immigration to Palestine, and from the same date, Judaism turned into a tribal connection which called the Jews from every nation and every country towards itself. The development was one of the premises of advent of Zionism, which soon revealed its chauvinist nature".
Inquisition and Jewish immigration from Iberian Peninsula and being in the same time with journey of Christopher Columbus to America was the turning point of a political change which formed in Spain under the excuse of inquisition, and eventually, in the twentieth century it led to focus of political and economic activities of Jews in tow important spots of the world. Half of 14 million Jewish populations were settled in America and the other half were in Middle East and in this way, immigration to West and East made Jewish oligarchy closer to its purpose.
