Rosenzweig’s thought made Islam both the invisible and the political enemy.

Evidence

By enacting the exclusion of Islam, by making visible the becoming of the theologico-political as the Judea-Christian, Rosenzweig made Islam into the invisible enemy. He also made Islam the political enemy. With the Star, with what can be seen as a certain culmination of its history, the enemy draws away, and with him, the Jew, the Arab. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 505

Categorization

  • QUESTION: What exactly in the Star of Redemption performs this exclusion, and how does ‘the enemy draws away’ change the status of both Jew and Arab?
  • XREF: Connects to the broader discourse on the Judeo-Christian as a constructed category excluding Islam, echoing work by Aamir Mufti on secularism and the minority question.
