re: #55 Charles

The idea that German antisemitism was imported from the Islamic world simply ignores the long, long history of antisemitism in Europe and the Germanic region in particular. Europe didn’t need to “import” antisemitism from anywhere, it was part of the social fabric for MANY centuries.

Please don’t start this here. It’s beyond silly.

I didn’t say that they imported antisemitism from the muslim world.
Please don’t judge me that harshly. It is not so simple a concept.

There are historians who say that the Mufti had an influence on “the final solution”. An influence that should not have allowed him to die a natural death in freedom. I linked to a review of a perfectly fine book that makes the case.

However, if this is a completely forbidden discussion, I will respect that.
