"Others have also questioned the notion that Muslims are the new Jews. See Cesarani, “Why Muslims are Not the New Jews,” on why a comparison between Jews in the Britain of the 1890s and Muslims in contemporary Britain is inapt. Walzer argues in “Islamism and the Left” that an analogy between Jews of the past and Muslims today is misleading because “Muslims in today's Western Europe have never been attacked by Christian crusaders, expelled from one country after another, forced to wear distinctive dress, barred from many professions, and slaughtered by Nazis." --Modernity and the Jews in Western Social Thought (2017), page 184, Chad Alan Goldberg "Last weekend, Felix Klein, Germany’s anti-Semitism commissioner, said that he can no longer “recommend to Jews that they wear the skullcap at all times everywhere in Germany.” "--The Spectator "Muslims aren’t Europe’s new Jews. They’re Europe’s new anti-Semites" Daniella Greenbaum Davis [1], May 30, 2019 "I have heard Muslims called the “new Jews.” That’s not a helpful analogy, since Muslims in today’s Western Europe have never been attacked by Christian crusaders, expelled from one country after another, forced to wear distinctive dress, barred from many professions, and slaughtered by Nazis."--“Islamism and the Left” (2015) by Michael Walzer |
