Anti-Semitism is mostly Muslim
The week's news at a glance.
Brussels
An E.U. group refused to release a report it commissioned on the recent resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe, because the report concluded that Muslims were to blame for most incidents, the Financial Times reported this week. The European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia decided in February not to publish the study because it disagreed with the authors’ focus on the identity of the perpetrators, mostly immigrants from Muslim countries. Some members of the center’s board said the center should not release a report on anti-Jewish incidents unless it also mentioned anti-Muslim incidents. The center has already issued three reports on anti-Muslim violence since the 9/11 attacks, although such incidents are far rarer than anti-Jewish violence.
