| | Semitic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The word "Semitic" is an adjective derived from the Greek Σημ (Sēm), of Shem, one of the three sons of Noah in the Bible (Genesis 5.32, 6.10, 10.21); the noun form referring to a person is Semite. | | | In a religious context, the term Semitic can refer to the religions associated with the speakers of these languages: thus Judaism, Christianity and Islam are often described as "Semitic religions," though the term Abrahamic religions is more commonly used today. | | | The concept of a "Semitic" peoples is derived from Biblical accounts of the origins of the cultures known to the ancient Hebrews. |

| | Anti-Semitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | While enlightened European intellectual society of that period viewed prejudice against people on account of their religion to be declassé and a sign of ignorance, because of this supposed 'scientific' connection to genetics they felt fully justified in prejudice based on nationality or 'race'. | | | Christian theological anti-Semitism was stimulated by the New Testament's replacement theology (or supersessionism), which taught that with the coming of Jesus a new covenant has rendered obsolete and has superseded the religion of Judaism. | | | The argument for such extension comes out of the claim that since the Semitic language family includes Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic languages, and the historical term "Semite" refers to all those who consider themselves descendents of the Biblical Shem, anti-Semitism should be likewise inclusive. |

| | Semitic peoples referred to Egypt as "Mitzrayim", after Kham's son, that is identified with the first Pharaoh, Menesh, "the Embanker of the Sea (the Nile)", that is another meaning of Mitzrayim. | | | Arabs are the most recent Semitic people according to their appearance in history. | | | It is probable that the Chaldeans were the result of intermarriage between Semites and the no longer existing Sumerians, and that their priestly caste, descending from Nimrod, were still ruling the Babylonian religious system. |

| | Finally, because of their Semitic origins, the Ethiopians believed that they were descendants of the Hebrews, who were also Semitic. | | | So the Ethiopians, unlike other Christians, really saw themselves as inheriting the covenants that Yahweh entered into with his chosen people (as a side note, the Ethiopic Church claims to have the Ark of the Covenant which is the chest in which the Decalogue was kept by the Hebrews). | | | They spoke a strongly Semitic language and wrote in Semitic characters; Ethiopia, in fact, has one of the longest continuous literate traditions in Africa. |

| | Semites |
| | In time nearly all of the Semitic people in Europe abandoned their religion, language, tradition or culture and were absorbed into European life. | | | Thus, people of all races and religions from as far away as Mongolia, India, Ethiopia and even the unconquered lands of Germany were welcomed if they came in peace. | | | For the next 500 years, while the Semitic people fought against themselves, a revived Egypt, raiders from the north, and Aryans from today's Iran, Europe for the most part was still considered nothing but a land of primitives and little attention was paid to it. |

| | What IS Anti-Semitism? |
| | The Arabs are also a Semitic people because they came from Shem, the son of Noah. | | | As the Anglo-Saxon-Scandinavian and kindred people are the descendants of the lost Tribes of Israel, they could not be called "Anti-Semitic," because they (or we) are Semites, through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob-Israel and their descendants. | | | Like their father, they were both Hebrews and Semites, as would be all of their descendants. |

| | This message of Islam (the eternal religion) was sent to all people in the world, but the names of the prophets of the Semitic people alone have been mentioned in the Bible and Qur'an, obviously because the Semitic people of the time were acquainted with them only. | | | Similarly, there is a tendency among the Muslims to treat the People of the Book as those who do not believe in God (Kafirs). | | | Although the early Muslim scholars did not undertake any research about the scriptures of the major religions of the world and did not test them against the Qur’anic norms of surrender to God and righteous conduct, the Qur'an is very clear on this issue. |

| | Semite on Encyclopedia.com |
| | (sĕm´īt, sē´mīt), originally one of a people believed to be descended from Shem, son of Noah. | | | These peoples are grouped under the term Semite, chiefly because their languages were found to be related, deriving presumably from a common tongue, Semitic. | | | Later the term came to include the following peoples: Arabs; the Akkadians of ancient Babylonia; the Assyrians; the Canaanites (including Amorites, Moabites, Edomites, Ammonites, and Phoenicians); the various Aramaean tribes (including Hebrews); and a considerable portion of the population of Ethiopia. |
