Anti-Semitism and the War on Terror

In the ongoing discussion of the war against the terror masters, anti-Semitism remains a central theme. As this prejudice continues to gain strength all over the world, its relationship to the preeminent threat against the West deserves special consideration.
German scholar Matthias Küntzel is the author of the widely discussed book Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11 (Telos Press, 2007). Küntzel's central thesis is that a great deal of contemporary Islamist anti-Semitism comes directly from the Third Reich, that it was institutionalized in the Middle East during the Second World War, and that is has grown ever since, thanks to organizations and individuals who--in many cases-- received direct ideological, political, and financial support from the Nazis and who are still very active.
Please join us as Matthias Küntzel and AEI's Michael A. Ledeen and Michael Novak discuss this argument and its implications for the struggle against violent fundamentalists and anti-Semitism in the world today.
