Wow, that's never happened before.

Because in the rest of the world, that never happens. For example, in Israel, no group of Jewish kids have never beaten up a minority kid in a schoolyard fight because he/she is different...right?

The article might be dumb, but this thread is even dumber.
You might to educate yourself before commenting. Muslim anti-Semitism is a huge problem for European Jews right now. It's an utter disgrace. It's not just this kid. It's an entire community that constantly argues it has the right to hate Jews because it feels that Muslims are picked on in Israel. Pretending that problem does not exist or excusing it is what's dumb.

Good point, Eleanora!

This not an isolated or insignificant occurrence. There is a disgusting wave of anti-semitic crime and violence in Europe. European Jews are beginning to leave some European countries to Israel or the US because the situation is becoming intolerable.

I live in West Philadelphia and we have a sizable Muslim community here, not one but two Mosques within a mile of my house. The Jewish community has no problem with the Muslims (the synagogue is a few blocks up the street, and there is a fine kosher Deli three blocks away, also two Orthodox 'Chabad Houses'). Everyone gets along. A local Moroccan restaurant even donated catering services to a local Sephardic Jewish banquet (the owner 'Brahim, is very friendly to the Jews).

This is only anecdotal evidence that Muslims, Christians, and Jews can be on friendly terms.

However, I believe there is a growing campaign against the Jews by Muslims in many places around the world. They use Israel as an excuse, but they mainly target non-Israeli Jews.

Remember when two Jewish synagogues were bombed on the Sabbath in Istanbul, Turkey ... who suffered death and injury? ... Turkish Jews!
