"Now, if you want to defend Arab anti-Semitism on the grounds that they treat Christians awfully too, you can. In my opinion, it's like defending Jim Crow because the white man was treating the Negroes better than the Sioux." Drawing the conclusions that you do are not justified and serve only to change the subject, something that belongs in a high school debate but not here. I was just pointing out that the xenophobia that the Muslim's religion shows applies to all non-Muslim groups. This larger perspective is important if one is going to find solutions which will lead the Arab world away from this perspective to a more tolerant and democratic society. This is because the problem is not anti-Semitism but rather anti-"other".
