A recent landmark study by the EU finds that radical Muslims caused 50% of the incidents involving anti-Semitism in Europe. The Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs also confirmed to the Jerusalem Post that "a large percentage of anti-Semitic incidents" are linked "to radical Islam."

The winter 2007 edition of inFOCUS takes a close look at radical Islam in Europe. Lorenzo Vidino describes the tripartite threat of radical Islam in Europe; terrorist attacks are but one threat. Daniel Pipes' "Europe's Future," gives several scenarios for the future of Islam in Europe.

Fear of radical Islam is spreading among Europeans. According to a recent poll, as noted in the Daily Express (UK), an"overwhelming majority" of Europeans believe immigration from Islamic countries is a threat to their traditional way of life.
