Some interesting results:
-The least antisemitic country in the islamic world isn’t turkey but Iran (56%).
-The most antisemitic country in western Europe is Greece (69%). In fact, the percentage of greeks with antisemitic views/beliefs is as high as in some arab countries.
-Antisemitism is higher in eastern Europe, but no country ranks as high as Greece. Not even Poland (45%).
-Asia and subsaharan-africa are less antisemitic than Europe (slightly less than western. europe,…much less than Eastern Europe).
-The least antisemitic country in the World is Laos. (0.2%)
-The most pro-jewish country in the West in Sweden (only 4% of antisemites) followed by the Netherlands (5%).

Greece doesn’t surprise me either, considering that they literally elected a Neo Nazi party into parliament.
I doubt that 0.2% of Laos even know what a Jew is.
May 19, 2014 8:09 pm at 8:09 pm #1015915ben_DavidParticipant^^
And I doubt that 0.2% of greeks have ever seen a Jew in real life.
Greece is definitely off my list of countries to visit.
Laos has a literacy rate of 75% so I guess most people there know what a jew is.

Actually there are many that are lower:
Ivory Coast (Muslim plurality of about 39%) is at 22%
Bosnia-Herzegovina (Muslim plurality about 44%) is at 32% which is lower than any of its Christian neighbors.
Kazakhstan (70% Muslim) is also 32%
Azerbaijan (93% Muslim) is at 37%
Senegal (96% Muslim) is at 53%
Bangladesh (90% Muslim and the third largest Muslim country in the world) is at 32%
Indonesia (87% Muslim and by far the largest Muslim country in the world) is at 48%
Pakistan was not surveyed.
May 19, 2014 9:43 pm at 9:43 pm #1015917nishtdayngesheftParticipantWhat is interesting to note is that only 56% of the Iranians that the Neturei Karta partnered with are anti Semites. On the other hand 100% of the “Rockland Clergy” group that Ari Hart aligned with in his hateful crusade ( he announced it in a church, the term is appropriate) against frum Jews are anti Semetic.
Seems that there is a temple in Riverdale that has to do some serious soul searching.
May 19, 2014 9:57 pm at 9:57 pm #1015918jbaldy22Memberactually surprisingly enough 100% of the iranians the the NK aligned themselves with are anti-semetic…..
May 19, 2014 11:07 pm at 11:07 pm #1015919nishtdayngesheftParticipantJbaldy,
I can only point out the facts that I know. I do not know that all are anti Semites, they may all be anti Israel. Which is not the same. Ask Rick Jacobs.
I do know about the anti Semitic rabble rousers of “Rockland Clergy”. I have read what the attention seeking rebellious child who is the associate “rabbi” at HIR has himself written and listened to him make a bigger fool of himself on the Zev Brenner show. So there I know that there is 100% hate.
May 19, 2014 11:10 pm at 11:10 pm #1015920👑RebYidd23ParticipantThe many Jews in Iran may contribute to the lower rate.
May 20, 2014 12:15 am at 12:15 am #1015921Sam2ParticipantThe survey was poorly done and skewed the results in favor of a receiving an antisemitic answer.
May 20, 2014 1:15 am at 1:15 am #1015923charliehallParticipant“skewed the results in favor of a receiving an antisemitic answer.”
Did you actually look at the survey questions?
Worthy of note is that every Arab country surveyed scored more poorly than every non-Arab country.
May 20, 2014 1:27 am at 1:27 am #1015924DikDukDuckParticipantSweden isn’t anti-semitic?
May 20, 2014 1:50 am at 1:50 am #1015925charliehallParticipant“Sweden isn’t anti-semitic?”
Apparently not. It was the least anti-Semitic country in Europe and less anti-Semitic than any country in the Western Hemisphere.
May 20, 2014 2:40 am at 2:40 am #1015926popa_bar_abbaParticipantI do not think the survey was poorly done. I read an article by a Harvard Law professor arguing that, but he is incorrect.
May 20, 2014 7:46 am at 7:46 am #1015927ben_DavidParticipantYou’re right, I should have said “the least antisemitic country in the MENA region”.
My conclusion is that, the main factor behind muslim antisemitism isn’t Islam per se, but arabism. Albanians or Bengalis aren’t that anti-semitic simply because they can’t watch Aljazeera in arabic, can’t read the Arab press….and have zero contact with rabid mullahs from Saudi Arabia or Egypt.
“Apparently not. It was the least anti-Semitic country in Europe and less anti-Semitic than any country in the Western Hemisphere.”
What’t really interesting, is that only 5% of people in Sweden hold antisemitic views, even if the country has a large muslim immigrant population from the middle-east (10% of the population).
May 20, 2014 10:32 am at 10:32 am #1015928DikDukDuckParticipant@ben_David: So a mere 0.5% of the Swedish muslim immigrants are antisemitic?
May 20, 2014 11:33 am at 11:33 am #1015929ben_DavidParticipantYou’re obviously not good at math.
May 20, 2014 5:15 pm at 5:15 pm #1015930👑RebYidd23ParticipantWhich Muslims don’t want to live in an Islamic country?
May 20, 2014 6:19 pm at 6:19 pm #1015931nishtdayngesheftParticipant“Worthy of note is that every Arab country surveyed scored more poorly than every non-Arab country. “
Interesting to note precisely because you are the individual who has so often stood up for Muslims, on this and other web sites.
Also worthy to note is that the assistant “Rabbit” at HIR is busy joining with these Jew haters and writing in Al-Jazeera, yet we do not see you waving this in his face and demanding that he be terminated and thrown out to the street.
May 20, 2014 7:01 pm at 7:01 pm #1015932ben_DavidParticipantWell,…we should also differentiate between antisemitism out of racism (European antisemitism),….and antisemitism driven by politics (arabs).
May 20, 2014 7:38 pm at 7:38 pm #1015933charliehallParticipant“Interesting to note precisely because you are the individual who has so often stood up for Muslims, on this and other web sites.”
I’ll stand up for Muslims who aren’t anti-Semites any time!
May 20, 2014 8:57 pm at 8:57 pm #1015934nishtdayngesheftParticipant“I’ll stand up for Muslims who aren’t anti-Semites any time! “
You did not make that distinction in the past.
And you keep avoiding the Ari Hart issue.
May 20, 2014 9:16 pm at 9:16 pm #1015935DikDukDuckParticipantben David, I’m a duck. You can’t expect much from me.
May 21, 2014 2:24 pm at 2:24 pm #1015936ben_DavidParticipant20.000 antisemitic tweets from Spanish fans following Maccabi Tel Aviv victory over Real Madrid.
