[ April 18, 2024 ]
November 21, 2019, the ADL released its 2019 survey data on the prevalence (occurrence) of extreme Antisemitism (defined, below) within 18 countries assessed between April 15 and June 3, 2019. Six of these countries—Belgium, The United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, and Italy—included a Muslim over-sample, allowing for a direct comparison of Muslims vs. Christians, those professing no religion, and the overall populations.
As ADL’s own press release stated:
“Muslim acceptance of anti-Semitic stereotypes was substantially higher than among the national populations—on average almost three times as high—in the six countries tested: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and The United Kingdom”

In sadly typical fashion, however, the ADL downplayed these findings in its press release, effectively concealing them as the last of six bullet points, i.e., # 6 of 6.
The ADL also failed to expressly note how compared to Western European Christians, specifically, Muslims were also ~3-times more likely to harbor extreme Antisemitic attitudes as gauged by abiding at least 6 of 11 Antisemitic stereotypes queried. (see tabulated data)
In brief, the ADL presents respondents with the following questionnaire:
“Jews are more loyal to Israel than to [this country/to the countries they live in]
Jews have too much power in the business world
Jews have too much power in international financial markets
Jews still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust
Jews don’t care what happens to anyone but their own kind
Jews have too much control over global affairs
Jews have too much control over the United States government
Jews think they are better than other people
Jews have too much control over the global media
Jews are responsible for most of the world’s wars
People hate Jews because of the way Jews behave”
The “Index Score” determining the occurrence of “extreme Antisemitism” in each population surveyed is calculated as follows:
“survey respondents who said at least 6 out of the 11 statements are ‘probably true’ are considered to harbor anti-Semitic attitudes. The Index Score for each country represents the percentage of adults in that specific country who answered ‘probably true’ to a majority (i.e., at least 6/11) of the anti-Semitic stereotypes tested”
I have tabulated the data from the 6 Western European countries which included a Muslim oversample, Belgium, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, and Germany, just below.
Predictably, this disproportionate occurrence of extreme Muslim Antisemitism within Western Europe has begotten an excess of Muslim violence targeting Jews. A lone study of its kind (conducted by FRA – European Union for Fundamental Rights, in 2012) queried Jewish victims directly about the identity of those who attacked them, or threatened them with violence, asking them to recall their past 5-year experiences:
“Thinking about the incident where somebody attacked or threatened you in a way that frightened you because you are Jewish – who did this to you?”
Compared for example, to those with “extremist right wing views”, the excess rate of Muslim violence or violent threats ranged anywhere from 3- to 13-fold! Indeed other than in Germany, where the percentages of left wing vs. right wing attacks were essentially equal, left wing Antisemitic violence or threatened violence also exceeded right wing Antisemitic violence, or threatened violence. Violent acts or threats perpetrated by those with “Christian extremist” views were negligible, in absolute terms, and even more so relative to those dubbed “Muslim extremists”.
Cardiologist Vera Kosova, a German Jewish immigrant from Uzbekistan, provided these balanced, pellucid insights on such findings when interviewed recently at the Frankfurt Book Fair, 10/19-20/19 (posted with English subtitles 11/7/19):
“It is important that the Antisemitism debate be led openly, honestly and broadly. There’s a right-wing Antisemitism; there’s a left-wing Antisemitism, and there is Muslim Antisemitism. Muslim Antisemitism clearly dominates in the statistics, and also does especially among the surveys done among the Jews. The German police crime statistics don’t apply, because they do not represent the reality. That’s because as soon as the perpetrator cannot be clearly identified the crime is assigned to the ‘right’ end of the spectrum. We’re not going to solve these problems in this country by doing this, and that’s certainly not going to stop Antisemitism.”
Finally, it is imperative to acknowledge and hold accountable the most authoritative, mainstream Islamic religious teaching institutions—Sunni and Shiite alike—that continue to promote canonical Islam’s most virulently Antisemitic tropes from the Koran, and traditions of Islam’s prophet Muhammad. Sunni Islam’s Vatican, Al-Azhar University, and its previous and current Grand Imam Papal equivalents, Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi (d. 2010), and Ahmad Al-Tayeb, respectively, epitomize these trends.
Tantawi, arguably the greatest modern commentator on the Koran, in addition to serving as Al-Azhar Grand Imam from 1996 until his death in 2010, provided this summary gloss on the Koranic depiction of Jews, emphasizing its timeless relevance:
(The) Koran describes the Jews with their own particular degenerate characteristics, i.e. killing the prophets of Allah (see Koran 2:61/ 3:112 ], corrupting His words by putting them in the wrong places (4:46) , consuming the people’s wealth frivolously (4:161), refusal to distance themselves from the evil they do (3:120; 5:79), and other ugly characteristics caused by their deep-rooted (lascivious) envy (2:109)…only a minority of the Jews keep their word…[A]ll Jews are not the same. The good ones become Muslims (Koran 3:113), the bad ones do not.
More ominously, Tantawi’s exhaustive modern analysis of Islam’s defining, canonical sources concluded by sanctioning bigoted—even violent—Muslim behaviors towards Jews.
[T]he Jews always remain maleficent deniers….they should desist from their negative denial…some Jews went way overboard in their denying hostility, so gentle persuasion can do no good with them, so use force with them and treat them in the way you see as effective in ridding them of their evil. One may go so far as to ban their religion, their persons, their wealth, and their villages.
Tantawi’s successor, current Al-Azhar Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayeb, shares Tantawi’s Jew-hating virulence. Al-Tayeb has labeled the Jews eternal Koranic enemies (per Koran 5:82), blamed Jews for the rise of ISIS and other jihadist groups, and claims “the issue of Antisemitism is a lie.”
Not surprisingly, both Tantawi and Tayeb (then Al-Azhar Mufti) sanctioned homicide bombing against Israel’s Jews even in the immediate aftermath of the horrific Netanya Passover massacre in April, 2002.
Such “sacralized” hatred, preached authoritatively by the avatars of institutional Islam, continues to fuel the global pandemic of Muslim Antisemitism, and is being promulgated, unchallenged. The abject failure of Jewish and other religious and civic leaders to denounce this institutionalized Islamic Jew-hatred is a lingering disgrace.

Don’t worry if they ever kill off the Jews they will line up to exterminate all non-muslims next! Can’t fix STUPID with ignorant libturds.

If Trump is smart enough , he should pass E.O to ban all terror/crime/illegal/drug linked persons from coming to America and those who advocate for them should lose their assets/citizenship and deported/jailed as terror agents.
Unless this is done there will be never ending cases . And America will become like canada/EU
Like this Left/Liberal Loons Run Country has been turned into ISIS/jihadi base https://tinyurl.com/y74v5327

Although the questions themselves seem to me to have been
inflammatory to begin with as outlined in this article, the results certainly
do no surprise me. From my perspective, the information contained in this
article establishes that the main trigger of violence based on anti-Semitism
can directly be associated with the belief system that is Islam. My take from
the findings set forth above merely confirm that the Islamic believers have a
built in mentality of hate that promotes violence, especially towards the
people of Jewish persuasion, and after taking on the Jews, they will direct
that hate and violence to all others out there. They come from a culture that
trains them to hate and be violent, though no rational basis exists for the
animosity they direct at non-Muslims. Therefore, they do not belong in our free
societies, and they should be very carefully vetted before being given any
status that will enable them to emigrate here. We have already seen those
Muslims who have taken office cause much consternation with their vitriol
directed at anything Jewish. With that proof, I respectfully believe that these
dangerous believers must not be allowed here, lest we open a Pandora’s box to un-American violence.

Plus they are so ugly to look at. Most of them would be perfect for roles in horror movies. They would not even require any make up.

If a given muslum were to reject antisemitism then why do they choose to subscribe to an overtly and excrementally antisemitic creed?

ALL THE QUESTIONS AND ATTRIBUTES APPLY TO ISLAMIC MIGRANTS AND BUSINESS PEOPLE BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE IN SALES, I CAN TELL YOU THAT! THE ISLAMICS ARE A CULTURE OF TAKERS AND DESTROYERS WHO GIVE NONMUSLIM SOCIETIES NOTHING THAT IS POSITIVE! THEY ARE A DANGEROUS, PERNICIOUS CULTURE TO ENCOURAGE IN SOCIETY! IT IS WHAT IT IS!
I HAD AN EXPERIENCE LATE LAST WEEK INVOLVING A FOOD TRUCK PARKED IN FRONT OF A CONVENIENCE STORE IN AN AREA OF SAN ANTONIO, TX THAT WAS NICE 30 YEARS AGO THAT IS NOW LITTLE MOGADISHU, SOMALIA! I FOUND OUT THAT THE MEAT THAT WAS BEING SERVED IS HALAL. THE DUDE AT THE WINDOW WAS A HISPANIC VETERAN WHO WORKS FOR THIS ORG BUT IT WAS A MUSLIM THAT WAS RUNNING THE FOOD TRUCK. SOMETHING TOLD ME TO WATCH HIM PREPARE MY FOOD AS HE DIDN’T LIKE ME ASKING QUESTIONS OF THAT VETERAN AFTER HE TRIED TO GET ME TO LEAVE THE WINDOW AND NOT WATCH HIM PREPARE MY FOOD. APPARENTLY ALL THE RESTAURANTS AROUND THERE MUST SERVE HALAL BECAUSE THERE IS A COMMITTEE THAT GOES AROUND INSPECTING THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY BUY HALAL MEAT FROM A FAVORED SOURCE THAT IS TIGHT WITH THE MUSLIM COUNCIL THAT IS NOW IN AN UNMARKED BUILDING SINCE PRES. TRUMP BECAME PRESIDENT . IT HAD A SIGN IN FRONT OF IT UNDER THE OBAMA SAYING IT WAS THE SA ISLAMIC SOCIETY AND IS THE ONLY BUILDING AROUND THERE THAT HAS A FENCE ALL AROUND THE BUILDING AND PARKING LOT TOO. IT WAS ONCE A NORMAL OFFICE BUILDING! I CAN’T HELP BUT THINK THAT 30 YEARS AGO IN PARIS AND LONDON, TODAYS NO-GO ZONES STARTED OUT LIKE THAT! WOW!
