Historic anti-Jewish anti-Catholic stereotypes now target Muslims

Evidence

Some of the stereotypes of Jews, Catholics, and Mormons in the early twentieth century apply today to the Racial Muslim: disloyal, antidemocratic, and unfit for self-governance. The material consequences, however, differ, depending on the historical context and predominance of certain stereotypes associated with a particular faith community. — Sahar F. Aziz, The Racial Muslim, 875
