If you are antisemitic does that make you panislamic?
Islam in Europe is proving to be oppressive to all and especially Jews and women. Does being pro/pan-islamic make you a misogynist?

@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.
