The decision to place it on the Council’s agenda was solely that of Pope John XXIII who wished to address the Christian “teaching of contempt” for Jews which gave rise to the Holocaust. The Catholic Patriarchs and bishops from the Arab world, however, feared the statement would be interpreted politically as in the Middle East politics and religion were intertwined. If the statement was construed as the beginning of the Vatican’s recognition of Israel, the Church’s numerous educational and religious missions in the region would be jeopardized. The Eastern bishops argued that a statement on the Jewish people should be accompanied by a statement on Muslims. Little understood in the development of the declaration, especially the statement on Islam, is the influence that scholars, missionaries, and centers for Islamic learning in Cairo and Tunis had on Nostra Aetate. This chapter reveals the role of these missionary scholars and institutions and concludes with a section on current trends in Muslim–Christian relations.
