During the Asian crisis, I recollect the Muslim premier of Malaysia blaming the financial troubles of his country on Jewish international bankers, or was it Jewish speculators? Does Asian antisemitism have its root in European antisemitism and/or does it have something to do with Israel?
Indonesia now has a moderate muslim leader in Wahid. This seems to be another variant on the Jihad vs. McWorld theme.
