People who don't like Arab Muslims are anti-semitic, because it's about race, not religion. If you are of the Jewish faith, that doesn't make you of Semitic heritage and vice versa.
This phrase is such an enormous buzzword for Jewish victims only, it draws away from the Afro/Arab claim to the term, and ultimately blankets over the relevancy and cloaks history of the term with complete misuse and misconception. It is a dangerous trend to ignore ignorance.
If those people on the subway knew not everyone believes as they do, why not keep their ideas to themselves in a public forum? Or, at least be prepared for the consequences of being in public. Go start a secret society or get on internet forums or something, if you want to be truly protected in your speech.
...Unless, of course, your *idea* involves exemplfying a real *ideal*, like being good to your fellow man, like the Muslim did (based on his PARENT'S way of raising him, not necessarily his 'faith' but through that vehicle).. or defeating ignorance.
A chauvanist, for instance, is not someone who is prejudiced against women. A chauvanist is someone who is strongly for *their* group: any group (and not just men).
So yeah, it's weird, and perhaps regrettable that semitic and anti-semitic don't mean opposite things, but that's the way the English language is, and trying to make anti-semitic make sense by correcting people who use it in it's original and more than century long sense is just wrong and pedantic.
