The '''blood libel''' is the superstitious belief that [[Jewish]] people needed the blood of [[Christian]] babies for varied reasons.  The [[Papacy]] has formally declared the blood libel to be untrue, and it no longer persists in the [[West]].  However, the blood libel has resurfaced in Islamic countries, and is even taught in Madrasahs in [[Saudi Arabia]].  [[Syria]], Saudi Arabia, [[Iran]], and [[Egypt]] have all had recent reports of the blood libel being promoted in books and/or state sponsored media.
