"Antisemitism is widespread among Muslims today, both in the Muslim world and in Europe.  It extends from institutions of  Islamic government and religion all the way down to the man and woman in the street.  Where does it come from?  Is is rooted in the Qur'an and other classical Islamic sources, or is it something relatively new?  And what is its prognosis for the future?"
