Just as 50 is the "new 30", Muslims are the "new Jews".

Discuss.

The point about Antisemitism is that the Jews are small in number not only in whatever country they happen to reside but in the world as a whole. There are over 1 billion Muslims and each individual Muslim has multiple countries to which he or she can travel where Muslims are in the majority. Jews, until very recently, had nowhere to turn, and still number only 13 million worldwide. Given that large disparity in numbers, the situation you describe is impossible.

the new black.

but you have a good point.

guess gas was a little harder to find.

echo blogs, I would say that the "new jews' are "minorities".

In what MPG?

Cuz my knees tell me it ain't in human years. Not unless we went bionic and no one told me.

People who get a mad-on about Muslims tend to use lots of classic antisemitic tropes (conspiracy, alliances with the extreme left, vile practices) in their screeds.

Pam Geller (that atlasshrugs200 lady) is particularly bad for this.

In the UK at least, the most virulent bigotry isn't against Muslims or Jews - it's against *immigrants* and their descendants. According to fairly recent polls: only 6% of Brits directly admit to negative attitudes to Jews, and only 14% to Muslims. But 50%, yes, you read it correctly, support 'voluntary' repatriation of immigrants! Much Islamophobia in Britain is really IMO secondary to hatred of immigrants, especially though not exclusively non-white ones. People are not so much against certain immigrant groups because they practice Islam, as against Islam because it is practiced by some immigrant groups.

Surveys suggest that in other Europaean countries, explicit antisemitism and Islamophobia are commoner than in Britain. And it tends to be the same people who demonstrate both forms of bigotry.

Anti-semitism has definitely not gone away- here or in Europe. In the U.S., particularly among so-called "progressives", distaste for Israel often translates into anti-Jewish sentiment, admitted or not.

giant fail.

Both claims are equally spurious.
