I have often seen critics of financial capitalism attacked as anti-Semitic - in some cases quite rightly.

Equally I have seen genuine (not the increasingly prevalent ersatz variety) exponents of Islamic Finance classified alongside bin Laden, no doubt as Economic Terrorists...

A goal of propaganda is to create an association of something with an existing emotively high negative, such as "Terrorist or anti-Semitic," to what is being attacked.

quite rightly for Western Europe? I really haven't seen it other than the usual suspects like the German far right. No different than the US in parts of the paleocon and paleolib currents. Eastern Europe is a whole different story - there it is unfortunately quite common. I get the impression that the same is true in the Islamic world. Or in other words it's what you get with right wing economic populism. The old socialism of idiots model.
