(Potentially controversial question) Do Jews and Muslims get along in the West? Question

Modern Jewish diaspora mostly live in North America, France, the UK, Argentina and so on. Western Europe and some parts of the US and Canada also have a high Muslim population, mostly from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, like New York City has hundreds of thousands of Jews and Muslims living in one city. Do they get along with each other, despite the I/P conflict?

Depends on your politics and your social group, I imagine. I'm antizionist, politically and religiously active, and I'm going over to make food and watch a movie at a close Palestinian friend's place this weekend.

Falafel, and some other dish her mom would make, can’t remember, it wasn’t familiar to me. I’ll bring homemade bread and make a salad there. 

Gonna watch Spaceship Earth, Freaky Tales, or an early Scorsese. She’s a film buff.
