Yes, Islamophobia is the real issue, while antisemitism is relatively normal. In fact, attacks on Jews create Islamophobia, it appears. Either that or stabbing Jewish teachers is a normal "backlash" after Islamist terror attacks.
The article is not much better:
A Muslim woman was wounded with a box cutter in a race-hate attack following the Paris terrorist atrocities, France's interior minister has said.I am in no way condoning the attack on the Muslim woman, but the framing here is completely backwards. A backlash against terror attacks is one story; antisemitism that is part of the fabric of a segment of French Muslim society is a much different (and much more important) story. The Mirror is trivializing, and even to a small extent justifying, the antisemitic attack.
Bernard Cazeneuve condemned the assault and another attack on a Jewish teacher as "cowardly" and urged French citizens to remember the "values of the Republic".
