Rosenzweig structurally excluded Islam by casting it as pure political war

Evidence

What I have sought to demonstrate is that the status of this exclusion, as it occurs in The Star of Redemption, is anything but contingent. Rather, it constitutes Rosenzweig’s political theology, the theologico-political configuration that links three, rather than two entities commonly referred to as “religions.” This term, “religion,” means of course very little to Rosenzweig, who recasts each “element” (God, world, and man) as privileged in its relation to one of the three “religions.” Judaism is with God, Christianity is man on its way to God, Islam is the war of the world. Judaism is theological, and it therefore experiences war as political. Christianity is the embodiment of the theologico-political, unable to know the difference when it comes to war. Islam, finally, is fully detheologized and can therefore spread nothing but holy war. Constituting history as a “warring temporality,” as a war that is a political war-the history of nations at war, the history of nations as war-Rosenzweig casts Islam as at once the most obvious and the most hidden figure of the world as political. He casts Islam as the most extreme opposite, the most distant figure in its relation to Judaism, in relation to the theological space that Judaism occupies. Rosenzweig casts Islam as the political enemy. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 500
