Demonstrations by Swedish Moslems turned mostly peaceful and included chants in Arabic about killing Jews. In the rioting, several cars were set ablaze and at least 10 people were arrested.

"The chants reference a massacre of the Jews in the town of Khaybar, in northwestern Arabia, in 628 C.E." Wow, and I thought the folks who got their undies in a bunch over Confederate Statues were hung up on the past...

Muhammad died in 632 CE, so islam is barely older than this battle.

Are we seriously supposed to believe that there is a 1400 year old grudge by the Muslims (who won) against the Jews (who lost).

The Khazars didn't convert until 740 CE or so (at the earliest), so the Jews in this massacre are ethnically distinct.
No relation to what is currently considered "Jewish" in the west.

It's possible this chanting happened, or whatever.

I would think that anyone familiar enough with jewish history to know about this obscure massacre, would likely also know about the Khazarian history, etc.

Seems like a bit of a stretch to think that Syrian, Iraqi, and Afghani refugees would pick this historical event for an antisemetic protest.

An antisemetic protest, in arabic, against swedish Jews?

Certain groups will often try to appear to be victims. This seems more probable.

IDK. It doesn't make sense to me.

    I bet you could quote the Quran before the new testement. It's not long. At least Muslims believe Yeshia to be a prophet and an example to follow. Jews killed him and hate him. Say he is boiling in seamen.
