Monday, 3 November at a London university and the House of Lords.
There are significant political movements which claim to speak for Islam as a whole, which organise in Muslim communities, which embrace antisemitism and anti-democratic values. We take that seriously. But we insist that opposing those political movements is political work. We should not reduce politics either to race or to religion.
We live in a time of increasing bigotry and racism against Muslims. The accusation is sometimes leveled against Muslims as a whole, that their religion or their ‘culture’ is essentially and unchangeably hostile to Jews and to democratic values. We contest that strongly.
We should oppose antisemitism and anti-democratic politics. To do that effectively, it is necessary to understand the particular forms that antisemitism and anti-democratic politics take in Muslim communities.
That is why we are organising these two panels on Islamist antisemitism.
