Yale To Hold Conference On Radical Islam And Anti-Semitism
Expected To Be Largest Gathering Of Its Kind In Post-Holocaust Era
More than 100 scholars from around the world will gather at Yale University on Monday for a conference on radical Islam and its connection to contemporary Anti-Semitism.
The conference is called Global Anti-Semitism: A Crisis of Modernity. Topics include the internet's impact, and terrorist media as tool to spread anti-Semitism. Charles Small is founder and director of the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Anti-Semitism. He says a movement of radical Jihadist Islam is sweeping to power in many societies.
"They use genocidal anti-Semitism as fuel, if you will, to fuel their social movement. And yet among intellectuals in the West, there is almost I would say a silence, if not an acquiescence to this global genocidal Anti-Semitism. So we hope the conference will finally put this issue on the academic map."
The three-day conference is expected to be the largest gathering of scholars to focus on anti-Semitism in the post-Holocaust Era.
