The ADL just released, on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, their massive, worldwide assessment (58,000 adults from 103 countries surveyed) of the prevalence of extreme Antisemitism, i.e., defined as agreement with at least 6 of 11 antisemitic stereotypes. Sadly, just like 10-years ago in 2014, Muslim nations are the most Antisemitic in the world by wide margins, certainly relative to Western Europe and North America (see tables below). Perhaps the most ominous finding was that since 2014, the prevalence of extreme Antisemitism in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, still touted for its alleged “moderate and tolerant” Islam, doubled from 48% to 96%, the second highest prevalence in the world!
As reported in 2017, this threat, was issued to the barely ~200 Asian descent Jews in Indonesia, the country at that time exhibiting only an average level of extreme Antisemitism (48%) vis-à-vis the world’s Muslims: “We don’t want you to use your kippah in this country [Indonesia]. If you continue to use it, we’ll kill you.”
The 2017 report also warned of “faith-based tension mounting in Indonesia, undermining its pluralist reputation,” successive governments had failed to address for “fear of being accused of attacking Islam.” Although still deemed a “tolerant and moderate” nation, following Indonesia’s 2019 elections, Reuters noted, forebodingly,
Hardline groups that were once on the fringes of Indonesian politics, most notably the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), have increasingly muscled their way into the mainstream and arguably provide a political voice for conservative Indonesian Muslims. The FPI and similar groups call for an Islamic state, with Islamic law for all Muslims in the country. That may be popular with many voters – according to a 2017 study by the Pew Research Center, 72 percent of Muslims favor making sharia the official law.
ADL’s salient finding that 96% of Indonesians currently harbor extreme Antisemitism, in conjunction with recent prior data on popular (almost ¾) Indonesian longing for Sharia supremacism, and Indonesians’ overt menacing behavior toward the nation’s infinitesimal Jewish population, should put to rest the quixotic canard about “tolerant Indonesian Islam.”

Now consider how a country is reviewed if people have say, oh, a somewhat negative view of muslim murderers, Jihadists. Why immediately the call goes out to portray all such expressions as Islamophobia. If an American, say, a soldier, with ‘problems’ had become a muslim, and then decides to drive a car into a crowd of non- muslims, and people express some negative thoughts about Islam, why….. of course, it’s Islamophobia. Meanwhile there have been some 46,000 Jihadist atacks, slaughters, mass murders by Jihadists, muslim worldwide. I haven’t seen, nor will I ever see a muslim nation admit too, let alone denounce ‘Judeophobia’ since of course, disgust, and diminution of all others is what is the basis of Islam.

This is no surprise. Islam is against Jews, against Christians, and against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran. Non-Muslims are the lowest of creatures while Muslims are the best of creatures according to Islam. Allah in Qur’an 98:6-7 says, “6 Surely those who became infidels, from the People of the Book[Jews and Christians] and polytheists, will abide in the fire of hell forever. Those are the worst of the creatures. 7 Surely those who believed and did good deeds, those are the best of the creatures.” Allah in Quran 3:110 reveals that Muslims are the best of created peoples, and Allah in Quran 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], do not take the J * w s and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”

This is just ONE reason that proves that Islam should be banned from living or entering the U.S. and Western nations. They are taught a steady diet of hateful, cult- like lies! They are NOT compatible to live amongst others – not even their own! Why should there be mosques in our nations that spread this disease?
Some politician needs to finally stand up and admit that their book and bigoted beliefs is incapable with western beliefs.

I don’t think the 96% number for Indonesia is correct. Many of muslims in Indonesia are people who are registered as muslims but don’t care about religious issues, they just want to survive as they are poor. The sample used for the statistic data does not represent the population.
We should not just trust the survey data especially in third world countries, the data can be pulled from anywhere.

Every Muslim follows Allah and his Quran. Allah in Quran 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], do not take the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
