It's certainly not limited to those of Muslim faith.
Exactly!
From the Dreyfus affair to other examples France has not always cloaked itself with glory regarding anti-Semitism.
While not universal during WWII there were no shortage of French Christians that almost gleefully participated in on various levels with the Germans/Nazis in their extermination plans for France's Jews. Films like "Au Revoir les Enfants" tell a sad tale of French who gladly turned Jews into German authorities when given the chance.
Long story short as with the Revolution and other dramatic events the French often have this collective memory of wanting to forget the past, move on and see what they want to see. It happened post WWII and is still going on today. The state French railway (SCNF) would never have agreed to confessing it's role in the deportation of Jews to death camps during WWII if it did not come down to money. First thing we heard were denials. Then came "why drag all that ancient history up again?". Then finally when the USA market seemed to becoming closed off we heard another story.
Clearly France cannot protect it's own citizens from these attacks and the only solution will be for all the French Jews to continue emigrating to Israel where they actually have a government looking out for them. I have a feeling the Muslim Arabs will just move on to persecuting Christians once all the Jews have fled. I wonder if France will do something about it then?
France's future is terrible; even those who are not jewish are leaving in droves due to the dreadful economic outlook and lack of career opportunities:
All the best and brightest are leaving, and if history has shown us anything, any time the jews leave, that country is utterly f--ked. It is beginning to look like france will be europe's first country to fall to the islamic invasion.
That was not my meaning. France itself has not protected it's Jewish citizens, that is why they should worry, regardless of where the threat is coming from.
But no one here helped the Nazis round up their Jewish neighbors for extermination.
Unlike France, the Nazis never occupied the U.S., though.
Had the Nazis somehow magically managed to occupy the U.S., then there might have unfortunately been some Americans who would have helped the Nazis round up Jews for extermination.
1. Unfortunately, Yes. Not necessarily worse than that of some other countries, but still pretty nasty.
2. Well, considering that I myself am ethnically Jewish, if I lived in France, then chances are that I probably wouldn't be particularly open about my Jewishness. Perhaps this might cause me to have less problems in such a scenario.

This is an example of the unfortunate concept known as the "banality of evil".
France surrendered to the Nazis after they were beaten by them in battle.
Also, as for this French anti-Semitism, is there any data which states which percentage of anti-Semitic incidents in France were caused by Muslims?
