A 22-year-old Jewish woman suffered a vicious anti-Semitic attack by two men of Middle Eastern appearance in a train station in Marseille, France on Thursday night.
The attackers tore the Star of David chain from around the young woman?s neck, lifted up her shirt, painted a swastika on her stomach and then fled the scene.
Local police opened an investigation into the attack but had not yet found the assailants.
Of course police have not found the assailants. When
Ilan Halimi was kidnapped and tortured for weeks, neighbors dropped by to participate in the torture, so knowledge of what was occurring was widespread. Despite this, no one called the police.
Head of the Jewish Agency delegation in France, David Roche, said the incident was the most severe anti-Semitic attack in France since the murder of the young Jewish male Ilan Halimi by a gang of Muslim youths in February 2006.
Because of the anti-Semitism which is an intrinsic part of normative Islam, these incidents are becoming more widespread as Muslims become emboldened in their attacks. Here are some depressing details:
Anti-Semitic Themes in Muslim Apocalyptic and Jihadi Literature
There is a connection between contemporary Muslim apocalyptic literature and jihadi movements. Both have a core belief in a grand anti-Semitic conspiracy theory designed to demonize the Jewish people. This theory has recently been exported throughout the Muslim world, where it fuels anti-Semitic tendencies and violent movements. Anti-Semitic and other conspiracy theories in the Muslim world are resistant to facts and even to education. Because these theories answer emotional needs, they are likely to keep growing in popularity. Anti-Semitism is a powerful force for radicalizing Muslims, and is even used in attempting to convince Christians to join in a grand alliance against the Jews. In doing so Muslims emphasize their belief that the Antichrist, or dajjal, is Jewish.
