Well, at least Mr. Lauder admits that Moslems have _something_ to do with anti-Semitism in Sweden . . . some commentators manage to tiptoe lithely completely around the "Religion of Peace" when decrying European anti-Semitism. Acknowledging the presence of the elephant in the parlor, however delicately, is epistemological progress of sorts.
Unfortunately, he seems unable to face head-on the full import of Islam's contribution to the surge of European anti-Semitism during the last two decades; note how he neatly inverts cause and effect, attributing Moslem anti-Semitism in Sweden to pre-existing Swedish attitudes that somehow contaminated the thinking of Moslem immigrants. That really is a pathetic denial of reality.
