Russian authorities framed Jewish and Muslim threats through different conspiracy narratives

Evidence

Over time the tsarist secret police, in particular, would associate both Jewish and Muslim populations with conspiracy in the early twentieth century, but they imagined their paths to the destruction of the empire to be quite different. Thus Muslims, too, faced scrutiny for ostensibly posing a threat to the Russian nation. But here critics tended to place the accent on Islam as an impediment to their integration. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 545
