Is Musilm hatred of Jews anti-semitism?

Dear Dr Pipes,

My knowledge of anti-semitism in Europe is very limited. My knowledge of why some Muslims oppose Jews is also limited. But I think that though both these phenomenons are despicable, they are not the same. Many times the term anti-semitism is used to describe the Muslim hatred of Jews. I will arreciate if you or if some other reader can explain Muslim hatred of Jews same as European anti-semitism.
