german-arab connection is in reality was a oil deal.
1942 any Arab speaking to a arab german audience is very questionable indeed.

Berman provides 3 accounts for emergence of radical Jew Hatred in and around ideology of Al Quaida and terrorist organizatons/rhetoric of Ahmadinejad

1. argument that anti-semitism is simply hard wired into Islam; its a fundamental part of Islam; Al Quaida gets it right
2. not Islam but Islamism --the politicized Islam that dominates the terrorist subculture which emerged with muslim brotherhood in 1930s; not about Koran but an extremist interpretation of Islam plugged into various political agenda; and a variant of it is influence of European Totalitarian movements on Isalmism.
3. this is not anti-semitism, but it is a policy dispute, anti-Zionism;

he disagrees with #1 and finds #3 the policy dispute least interesting that its anti-zionism but its interesting because its the position of 911 report which dwells on ... He feels that there is a significant antisemitims built into the culture.

I believe all three are important explanations for anti-semitism. Furthermore, anti-semitism is a smoke screen for exploitation of oil in middle east by Israel and Europeans.

It's ironic that Prof. Berman omits any reference to one country in the "Arab or Muslim" world in 1930s through 60s -- Pahlavi Monarchy -1924-1979 -whose policy was pro-Israel and was fighting muslim brotherhood.
