WEBINAR: Islamophobia and Antisemitism Today

February 18th, 11am - 1pm

Presented by Ahmed J. Quereshi, Executive Director, Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee, Miryam Rosensweig, President & CEO, Milwaukee Jewish Federation 

Ahmed J. Quereshi Miryam Rosensweig

This presentation will briefly explore the historical origins of Islamophobia and how it is defined. We will look at its growth in the United States and paying particular attention to its growth over the past 60 years and its current explosive growth, and its implications for American Muslims. 114 antisemitic incidents occurred in Wisconsin in 2023 (a significant rise since the previous year). Since October 7, a recent poll showed 1 in 4 experienced antisemitism and 75% have witnessed antisemitism. What does antisemitism look like in today’s world and throughout the state of Wisconsin. How does antisemitism manifest itself from the extreme right to extreme left of the political spectrum?
