Anti-Semitism versus anti-Islam

And the report noted an increase in anti-Semitism in Europe and the Middle East. In his remarks, Mr. Kerry announced the appointment of a new special envoy on the issue, Ira N. Forman, a former director of the National Jewish Democratic Council who also served as the director of Jewish outreach in President Obama’s re-election campaign....The report also chronicled a rise in anti-Muslim attitudes in Europe that have shaped government policies."  I hate to bother you but how come there is only a special envoy on the issue of anti-Semitism but not on anti-Islam?  How is that measured or decided?
