Azerbaijan Becomes First Muslim-Majority Country to Define Antisemitism in Textbooks

If there is any hope for Jews and Muslims to live in peace, it clearly started/starts with Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan, a majority Muslim country, has made significant strides in its school curriculum, becoming the first Muslim-majority country to incorporate a definition of antisemitism into textbooks.

Azerbaijan’s textbooks show no signs of radicalism or Islamist rhetoric. Instead, the textbooks promote secularism, diversity, and inclusivity.

Azerbaijan’s textbooks criticized corruption and military failures in Arab states while adopting a more neutral language.

The textbooks also place Israel as a center for technological and agricultural innovation.

Azerbaijan’s Grade 11 Geography textbook positioned Israeli agriculture as a solution to global challenges, fostering a narrative of international cooperation.
