anti-semitism is not necessarily hatred of Jews

The term "anti-Semitism" was coined in 19th century Germany by a Jew-hater, who wanted a more "scientific" term than "Jew hatred." It was meant originally, and is still understood today, to mean the hatred of Jews, not of Arabs or other semitic peoples.

I understand that but taking the term, "semitec" and thinking that it is only Jews is wrong.
