The following is a headline from Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet:
It reads: New Wave of Anti-Muslim FeelingsIn smaller letters: Synagogue outside Paris attacked with firebombs.
The article mentions two attacks against Jews, one in France and one in Switzerland. It also says as follows:
Interior Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie said that France was experiencing a new wave of anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim episodes as a result of the Gaza-war.
"We must do everything to stop the import into our country of the situation taking place in the Middle East," says Alliot-Marie after meeting president Nicolas Sarkozy and Catholic, Muslim and Jewish leaders.
After a bit of digging I found the original quote. France-Info/AFP reports the minister was interviewed on RTL. She said there was a resurgence of acts against syngagogues in France, but also against mosques. to the question: "There's a resurgence of attacks against mosques?" she answered: "Yes, there is also a resurgence of acts against our Muslim compatriots and against a certain number of (Muslim) places of worship".
I haven't heard of anti-Muslim attacks related to the Gaza war. If anybody has more info, please let me know.
