More recently we've been the spectators of war in the Middle East by both tribal natives and the West. We then started to see terrorist attacks on our own shores and suddenly we were all talking about Muslims. Every day for years we have had something in one paper or other condemning the Islamic faith and on every political forum we've had many debates about the sinfulness of Islam. Is that a stirring up of anti-semitism? and if not why not?

Is it any different to how everyone was talking about the IRA in the 90s, Muslims lived in the UK then as well but they weren't talked about. there was plenty anti Irish rhetoric in the DM though, its just what is relevant at the time, there was no name for anti Irish rhetoric either
