re: #82 Destro

antisemitism IS EUROPEAN and European only. It is born of European civilization. It is a term coined by Europeans to describe how Europeans treated Jews.

Antisemetism has distinct forms and mthologies and folklore not found in the Muslim world until sadly the modern age. It was a European import into the Muslim world and it found a home sadly because of the conflict of Arab and Jew over Israel.

Ignoring your usual inability to keep a single argument going, and tendency to morph randomly as pleases your fancy:

All right. What you meant was the specifically EUROPEAN phenomenon of anti-Semitism, not any generic Jew-harassment that might have been found elsewhere.

So, who imported it? Why? Why was its impact so great? How was it disseminated? When did it begin to be introduced by these presumably European people?
