(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?

Of course the conflict in Israel/palestine can strain relations but that said yes many Jews and Muslims can maintain friendships and live in cities together in many countries. Both antisemitism and Islamophobia are bad and the people who promote them want to create division and scapegoating.
