Evidence

What appears to be equally problematic for the development of Jewish– Muslim dialogue is the political Right portraying Jewish people as potential ‘allies’ of European Christians in the fight against the ‘Islamisation’ of Europe, and the mass media constructing Muslims as the ‘natural’ enemies of the Jews and levelling blanket accusations of antisemitism at the entire Muslim community. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 1758
