Said already linked antisemitism and Islamophobia in 1978

Evidence

In 1978 Edward Said drew attention to the connectedness of antisemitism and aspects of what we would now call Islamophobia when he observed that ‘Orientalism’ in its ‘Islamic branch’ and antisemitism ‘resemble each other very closely’ (Said 1978: 28). — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 693
