Friends or Foes? Attitudes of the Czech Antisemitic Scene towards Islam and Muslims

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article aims to tackle the antisemitism vs. Islamophobia debate from a fresh perspective by exploring the complicated attitude of the Czech antisemitic scene to Islam and Muslims. For this purpose, an analysis of the Czech antisemitic cyberspace was undertaken in combination with a qualitative analysis of the particular websites, as well as non-participant observation of the activities of the European Solidarity Front for Syria (ESFS) in the Czech Republic, the latter being established by neo-Nazis, even though it is supported by the radical left as well. The main conclusion is that the discourse of Czech antisemitism on Islam and Muslims is dominated by a clash of two incompatible stereotypes (the Muslim as either the noble warrior or immigrant). On the example of neo-Nazi attitudes towards the Arab Spring, the article further documents the affinity of neo-Nazi and far-right movements towards particular regimes in the Muslim world, namely Syria, Libya and Iran, as well as hostile attitudes with regard to Sunni Gulf monarchies. The research for this article had been performed before the 2015 Migration Crisis in Europe.
