I like the article and the general tone, however....

You say Islam is not an antisemitic religion but go on to mention several people quoting it in a way that looks awfully like it is. I know you would want to avoid the wider implication, but isn't it more likely that the Qur'an and Hadiths can indeed legitimately be interpreted in an anti-semitic fashion, but that most Muslims simply deal with the cognitive dissonance and try their best to ignore those bits in the same way as lots of other bits of any religion that contradict eachother and clash with modern sensibilities?

This is good until your last sentence, which seems to equate any criticism of the IDF with antisemitism.
