If you are antisemitic does that make you panislamic?

@BohemianBabe which native American tribe did this? Not all native American tribes did this, the Hopi are the most peaceful native American the word "Hopi" means peace

@BohemianBabe So did Europeans too.

@ChipmunkErnie it's a word that was invented in the era of the rise of eugenics in Europe. It was meant as a good thing, like eugenics.

@EarthlingWise Found this: '“Antisemitism” came about (in its Germanic form) in the mid-nineteenth century. In 1860, an Austrian Jewish scholar, Moritz Steinschneider, introduced the term antisemitische vorurteile (anti-Semitic prejudices). He used the expression in a piece he wrote countering the ideas of French philosopher Ernest Renan, who claimed that the Semitic race was inferior to the Aryan race.

The term antisemitism was made common by Wilhelm Marr, a German publicist and agitator. Unfortunately, his 1879 pamphlet, “The Way to Victory of Germanism over Judaism,” in which he used the term Antisemitismus, was very popular. That same year, Marr founded the League of Antisemites. It is interesting to note that Marr’s first three wives (he was married four times) were all of Jewish lineage and that, in 1891, he published an essay titled “Testament of an Antisemite,” apologizing for his mistaken antisemitic notions.'

@ChipmunkErnie very interesting, I only had a vague notion of it.

@Dshhh Those Christian missionaries weren’t exactly leaving indigenous people alone when they showed up, either.

@bijouxbroussard I don’t agree that your second sentence follows from the first. And this is an issue I care about A LOT. Many religious denominations, including large ones, still have this issue. But others have evolved. I think it would be hard to argue that, say, Reform Judaism or the UCC (formerly Congregational) are in any way misogynistic in present times.

@Harmonium1923 That was why I said they at least have that history (what’s a ghet ?). Perhaps the second sentence was hyperbolic, and I apologize; I do know that there are female rabbis now, and some Christian denominations allow women as heads.

@bijouxbroussard I fully agree with respect to history, and in many cases—sadly—in the present day. But there are exceptions.
