All holocaust deniers that ... I have ever known in my life have all been religious fundamentalists, ...

Can we stop using the term 'anti-semite'? It has to be the single stupidest term in misuse today.
​
As is talking about a jewish "race" ... but the problem is finding another word.
​
quote:
American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source - Share This
an·ti-Sem·ite (n't-sm't', n't-)
n. One who discriminates against or who is hostile toward or prejudiced against Jews.
​
Not much wiggle there.
​
quote:
Synonyms:
anti-Semite, black supremacist, chauvinist, diehard, doctrinaire, fanatic, klansperson, opinionated person, prejudiced person, sectarian, segregationist, sexist person, white supremacist, xenophobe
​
And none of those work, the more general "bigot" is not related to any specific group at all.
