Background:
Earlier today I was eating lunch with two friends of mine, a Muslim man and a Hindu girl from India (no idea which part), and we were discussing how Hindus and Muslims interact in their country....
While we were conversing a young man from Russia (Jewish, from Moscow, studying logistics in the university that I work for) came into the coffee shop... He had just returned from a brief trip to Indonesia (visiting an internet friend of all things... Scary how stupid young people are) and came over to say hello..
Hearing me joke about him visiting the largest Muslim population country in the world and the dangers involved (he claimed to have had an excellent time... the friend really was a young woman
) my Muslim friend asked him about Islamaphobia in Russia... This then continued on to a discussion on anti-semitism in their respective countries... Both made some interesting claims and it became a rather provocative discussion...
After a while I had to leave... But the conversation has been in my mind all evening..
So...
For my "Definitions" post this week I would like to invite the members of the OPP to give their personal definitions of the terms 'anti-semitism' and 'islamaphobia'...
I would further encourage members to define what indications there would be that an individual was either 'anti-semitic' or 'islamaphobic'...
My thanks in advance to all the members who take the time to share their understanding...

'Definitions "Anti-semitism and Islamaphobia"'
Quite a complex subject.
On "islamaphobia"
A term used with political overtones used by the "Left"/Liberal media to describe anti-Muslims/Moslems.
On "anti-Semitism"
A term used with political overtones used by the "Left & Right"/MSM to describe anti-Jews.
Something I have written extensively on:
IMO: "anti-Semitism" is a term used by many to hide behind.
I add the following regarding “Jews” so all “Jews” are not lumped together:
Zionism is a political movement, and Communism is a tool they used.
All Jews are not Zionists, and all Zionists are not Jews.
It is important to differentiate the different brands/sects of "Jew". The term "Jew" is misused a lot, fraudulently, and confusingly.
Judah is one of the 12 tribes of Israel. A Race (Hebrew)
Judaism is a religion (Torah/Old Testament and Talmudic/Babylonian Rabinism)
Jews are also a nationality (Nation of Israeli)
All categories attempt to claim they are the chosen people. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Many hide behind that claim. Most fundamentalist Christian churches don't teach the differences, and fall for that misrepresentation.
Hence, we have impotent churches, and ignorant Christians, that are not aware of the enemies of God/Yahweh within our nation.
Think about who has been trying to drive God out of public education and the public square?
Atheists? Who do you think these atheists are?
The ACLU and the anti-Defamation League (ADL) for starters.

The above causes problems of missing the truth, by lumping them all together.
