I see little resemblance between the two, Crow Sister, but I guess if you're looking for anti-semitism in something, you'll find it.

How about the usual caricatures I see of Osama Bin Laden and the typical "Muslim terrorists" in western political cartoons? It seems rather along the same general lines (hairy, creepy, nasty, gloating, grasping, etc), so is that all "anti-semitism" too?

Every age and every society has its chosen favorite scapegoats and black sheep to pick on. "Muslim religious fanatics" are at the top of the list in North America these days....so I think that Muslims have even more to be paranoid about lately than Jews, should they be inclined toward paranoia. Hopefully, they won't be. It doesn't help.
