Muslims urge end to anti-Semitism
Prominent British Muslims have denounced anti-Semitic attacks amid fears of a backlash against Jewish communities in Britain over Gaza.
The leaders said that British Jews "should not be held responsible" for Israel's actions in Gaza.
Jewish groups say there has been a record rise in anti-Semitic incidents since the crisis began.
A letter to mosques comes as muslim leaders urge ministers to do more to stop extremists recruiting young men.
In that letter, a broad range of scholars and progressive thinkers appeal to British Muslims to stand by British Jews, rather than allowing extremists to attack them.
