A link in another thread about Antisemitism and "Islamophobia" in the media, etc, got me thinking why the author doesn't devote one line in her article to Antisemitism in the Middle East, particularly the media.

I am curious: why do we read about so many articles and conferences on "Islamophobia" by Muslim writers and organizations, many which cynically compare it with Antisemitism, but never any articles by these same individuals and groups on Antisemitism/general bigotry in the Middle East?

Anyway, here's a selection of Antisemitic caricatures in 1930's Germany...errr, Middle East today:

Anti-Muslim views "Everyone should dislike and not trust Muslims. Islam is inherently bad." Anti-Jew views, "Everyone should dislike and not trust Jews. Judaism is inherently bad." Spot the difference?

And a much longer list of similarities between Islamophobic and Anti-semitic propaganda:

Tell me if you can spot the difference on this thread:
