A few months back I caught Mark Cohen's amazing lecture on anti-Semitism in Muslim societies at the Jewish Theological Seminary. (Can't get a link right now, can't get on the site). It looks like he's reprising the lecture next Tuesday night at Queens College in Flushing. This is an opportunity to see a truly fine scholar in action.
From the press release on a week of Middle Eastern Arts and Culture, at the school:
April 28, 6 - 9 pm
Lecture/Discussion, “The New Muslim Anti-Semitism?”
Mark R. Cohen, Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University , explores from a historical perspective the issue of anti-Semitism that is rampant in certain segments of Muslim communities in the Middle East and Europe .
