Although there have been surveys investigating Muslim attitudes to Jews, there is very little fine-grained, detailed research on this issue . . . Jikeli has uncovered a disturbing phenomenon but not a hopeless one. European Muslim antisemitism is not set in stone and, through the efforts of scholars such as Jikeli, by investigating it in more detail we can develop responses accordingly.5\/8\/15\u003c\/p\u003e (Jewish Chronicle) \u003cp\u003eEuropean Muslim Antisemitism is a brilliantly researched and highly accessible book. It makes a valuable contribution to an ongoing scholarly and moral debate on anti-Semitism. It is a book that should be read by everyone – especially students, scholars and policymakers interested in Muslim-Jewish relations7\/16\/15\u003c\/p\u003e (Times Higher Education) \u003cp\u003eA milestone in the scholarly investigation of this phenomenon [i.e., European Muslim antisemitism] is the new book of the historian Günther Jikeli, the leading German expert on this subject. . . . His book has the potential to be the standard work [on its subject].\u003c\/p\u003e (Juedische Allgemeine) \u003cp\u003eThis thorough, well-presented, social scientific study focuses on the causes of anti-Semitic violence largely carried out by young Muslim males. . . . Jikeli . . . performs an important service for those who seek answers to an extremely troubling problem. . . . Essential.\u003c\/p\u003e (CHOICE) \u003cp\u003eThere is a great deal of empirical data in this academic study that will be useful to track general patterns of anti-Semitism, and anti-Jewish behavior in Europe.

Too little is known about the subject, so Günther Jikeli is to be heartily thanked for his pioneering and earnest efforts to supply some basic empirical evidence in European Muslim Antisemitsm. . . . Jikeli has gone to great efforts to make human contact with his subejcts, and his tact and his obvious empathy are much to his credit.\u003c\/p\u003e (Times Literary Supplement) \u003cp\u003eJikeli presents the most thorough and systematic study of his topic to date. He writes pellucidly and calmly.

Looking for insights into the views and rationales of young Muslims toward Jews, Günther Jikeli and his colleagues interviewed 117 ordinary Muslim men in London (chiefly of South Asian background), Paris (chiefly North African), and Berlin (chiefly Turkish). The researchers sought information about stereotypes of Jews, arguments used to support hostility toward Jews, the role played by the Middle East conflict and Islamist ideology in perceptions of Jews, the possible sources of antisemitic views, and, by contrast, what would motivate Muslims to actively oppose antisemitism. They also learned how the men perceive discrimination and exclusion as well as their own national identification. This study is rich in qualitative data that will mark a significant step along the path toward a better understanding of contemporary antisemitism in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
