A European Union study conducted amid an upsurge in anti-Semitic violence
was blocked from publication because it concluded Muslims and
pro-Palestinian groups were responsible for many of the incidents.

The EU's racism watchdog, the Vienna-based European Monitoring Center on
Racism and Xenophobia, or EUMC, commissioned the report from the Center for
Research on Anti-Semitism at Berlin's Technical University, but its
conclusion was judged inflammatory, reports the Financial Times of London.

The British paper obtained a copy of the 112-page study, launched in October
2002 after a spate of anti-Semitic attacks and completed in February. Just
one week ago, a Jewish school near Paris was firebombed.

The EUMC has published three reports on anti-Islamic attitudes in Europe
since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the Financial Times said.

The anti-Semitism report's focus on Muslim and pro-Palestinian perpetrators,
however, raised objections with the Berlin center's staff and management
board.

The center also did not like the authors' definition of anti-Semitism, which
included anti-Israel acts.

"There is a trend towards Muslim anti-Semitism, while on the left there is
mobilization against Israel that is not always free of prejudice," a person
familiar with the report told the Financial Times. "Merely saying the
perpetrators are French, Belgian or Dutch does no justice to the full
picture."

Some of the EUMC board members also did not like left-leaning and
anti-globalization groups portrayed as harboring anti-Semitic motivations.

"The decision not to publish was a political decision," said the person
familiar with the report.

The EUMC board has 18 members, representing each EU state, the European
Commission, Parliament, and the Council of Europe.

U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Fla., wrote the EU's foreign policy chief, Javier
Solana, demanding the study be released, the Financial Times said.

A board member, Beate Winkler, insisted the report was rejected because the
time frame it used - between May and June 2002 - was too brief to be
representative. She also said the definition of anti-Semitism was too
complicated.

Romans 13
3     For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou
then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have
praise of the same:
4     For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that
which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is
the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
