Secular bans on conspicuously religious practice in Europe target both Jews and Muslims

Evidence

The Islamic practice was outlawed in Germany until 1979 and even today is tolerated but not sanctioned. These prohibitions affect Jews and Muslims in oddly similar ways when Western responses to ‘slaughter’ are measured. What is very different is how the meat is used, whether in ‘traditional’ dishes or in a Big Mac. The question is: How did and will these two groups respond to such confrontation with the secular, ‘modern’ world? — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 872 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
