The "Jewish question", in general usage, usually refers to questions about the essential nature of Jews, often in reference to the nature of their relationship to non-Jews.

I don't really get your answer - discussing how Jews are different from non-Jews doesn't need to produce positive or negative attitudes toward Jews amongst non-Jews. I can discuss how the Chinese are different from me, and have no positive or negative feelings about the Chinese.

the half-amalgamated position of the Jews put them in a prime position to be seen as peripheral and disloyal as well as internally cohesive and conspiratory. Amidst rising anti-Semitism and the threat to the established Old Order, the Jews became a scapegoat - it did not help that a number of radicals of Jewish background were associated with these causes.

This sounds like well known or at least radical Jews became a threat to "the old order" - that would obviously cause the tendency to retaliate against them. But I'm unaware of the Jewish threat to the German "old order", if that's what the writer is asserting. What did the Jews do, en masse, that posed a threat to "the old order"?

However, as I mentioned it isn't inconceivable that serious discrimination could happen to some Muslim populations in various historically non-Muslim regions in the next few decades. If so, it would likely be because a number of radicals of Muslim background were associated with these causes. where "these causes" is today's Islamic radicalism. We all understand what that says today.

But my question is, was there some ongoing Jewish radicalism in early years which produced the anti-Jewish behaviour?
