The shared underlying logic of racialization persists across Jew and Muslim targets

Evidence

In the contemporary period, we find that the ‘good Muslim/bad Muslim’dichotomy has achieved significant traction, especially in the ways with which boundaries of legitimate and illegitimate Muslim political descent are drawn (Mamdani 2004). … Drilling deeper still, Weaver shows that while the stereotypes and exclusions of Jews and Muslims presented in the humour under study are not the same, having both different histories and different trajectories, he nonetheless argues that the underlying logic of racialization is the same (and can be split into inclusive and exclusionary jokes, the former using stereotypes solely while the latter show death or removal). — Nasar Meer, Racialization and Religion, 40
