Kurzfassung:
Traces how Muslim antisemitism, politically generated by the Middle East conflict, has adopted and integrated traditional European antisemitic stereotypes, including racial prejudice, which was initially foreign to the Islamic world. Emphasizes the importance of conspiracy theories in anti-Israeli Islamist strategies. The "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" have been republished with state support in Iran and are commonly presented in Muslim media as "proof" of Zionist plans to take over the world. The "Protocols", present in all Islamist media contexts, are used with particular aggressivity by the Sweden-based "Radio Islam" over the Internet and are also quoted in Hamas's charter of 1988. Discusses Malaysian Prime Minister Mahatir Mohamad's recent propagation of conspiracy theories. Presents examples of antisemitic programs on Syrian, Lebanese, Egyptian, and Iranian television, and denounces the flagrantly anti-Jewish series "Diaspora" and "Horseman without a Horse", broadcast in 2002 and 2003. Concludes by condemning an award-winning book for teenagers, published recently in Germany, which, echoing Islamist views, portrays the Jews as fundamentally evil and denies Israel's right to exist.
