Here's an article from the Guardian (a left-wing UK newspaper) about
growing anti-Semitism in the Arab world, and how it is spreading to the
US and Europe.

sample quote:

"Does it matter to the west that absurd conspiracy theories like this
one [that Jews were warned not to go to work on Sept 11] have taken
hold, not just in the Middle East but throughout the Arab and Muslim
world? Aren't they just the posturing of the powerless? Perhaps, but
three months after September 11, some of its complex causes are
starting to be revealed. As we dig deeper we find that one root of the
assault lay in the emergence of the doctrine of Islamism, a fusion of a
narrow, intolerant fundamentalist reading of the Koran with a political
movement opposed to all western social, economic and cultural
influence. One of its central beliefs is in the enduring evil of
Judaism and the Jews, irrespective of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
and transcending borders or national disputes. Why Jews? Because if
America has been branded the enemy, the Great Satan, and Jews are
widely believed to "control" America, in the gruesome logic that
follows, it becomes "obvious" that Jews have a "secret plan" to destroy
Islam and the Arab world."
