["The increase in anti-Semitic incidents in Europe has reached a new dimension due to recent immigration from Islamic countries. In public and media discourse, the role of imams and practising Muslims is repeatedly brought into focus. This book sheds light on the theological and historical background of Jewish-Muslim relations and analyses potentially Islamist attitudes towards Judaism, Jews and the State of Israel. Using Austria as an example, qualitative interviews were conducted with 33 imams and 64 mosque visitors, and their statements were evaluated using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism."]
