I tried to support accq's point that Einstein's "schema violation" was a joke compared to what's happening in case of Syrian refugees mentioned by the article. Those people migrate between vastly different cultures and relating their experience to Einstein's doesn't make sense. And I think you can't really compare Syria with Nazi Germany either. Nazi Germany was a government gone rogue, while in Muslim cultures, for some reason, the kind of stuff I mentioned is just the way things are and have always been. |

The West had its own problems long enough with antisemitism, almost for two thousand years, supported by the texts from the New Testament.
(Here some quotes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_and_the_New_Testa... )
The view of Jews really changed only after WW II, and only as Christian religion started to be taken less seriously. Hitler didn't invent antisemitic ideology.
What West today tries to ignore is that Islam as religion is actively antisemitic too and it bases it on its own "holy" books (quotes here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_antisemitism ). Hitler is surprisingly (at least for those who never tried to read Quran) popular in Muslim-majority countries.
And even if "all religions are fine and peaceful in essence" is repeated ad nauseam it doesn't make the claim true.
