Islam is why antisemitism made a comeback
Anti-Semitism's prevalence in the West is positively correlated with the size of its Muslim demographic, said Ayaan Hirsi Ali in a Monday-published interview with Dave Rubin, speaking specifically of anti-Semitism in Europe:I would just note that it's really not possible to reform a religion built on worship of a vile man who married an underaged girl (Ayesha). That aside, I would also note that the failure of Judaists to prosyltize is another reason why antisemitism wound up making such a horrific return. Similarly, the vehement refusal of many Jewish community reps to be realists with regards to every belief system's led to this.
"We thought that after 1945, the end of the Second World War, that there was this enormous insight in the West; no more anti-Semitism. Never again ... But in Europe anti-Semitism is back, and it's back because of Islam."
Left-wing and Democrat-aligned news media outlets regularly ignore or deny anti-Semitism as a social pathology prevalent among Muslims, opting instead to present false narratives of “the world’s oldest hatred” as primarily acute among white Christian conservatives and Republicans.
Ali exposited on contemporary manifestations of the West’s interactions with Islam and Muslims, particularly focusing on mass migration of Muslims to the West in recent decades. She offered a broad division of Islam's adherents into two categories: Mecca Muslims and Medina Muslims; the former more interested in personal and mostly apolitical elements of the faith (i.e. praying and fasting), the latter more motivated by Islamic tenets promoting Islam's fusion with politics (i.e. dawa, Muhammed's military conquests of the Arabian peninsula) and prescribing its domination of the world.
Rubin proffered that leftists “hold Islam hostage” through their reflexive degradation and intimidation of Islamic reformers, effectively preventing reformation efforts to promote less overtly political brands of Islam. “It’s the liberals, unfortunately, the Left, that is holding the more extreme elements of Islam in power," he said.
Islamic reformers, said Ali, are “marginalized, sidelined, and threatened” by wide swathes of Muslims and leftists.
