Yes, you read that right.
Contrary to what some might want you to believe, it turns out that American Jews have positive feelings about Muslims, and the feeling is mutual.
The 2019 American Muslim Poll, conducted in January, found that 53 percent of Jewish Americans reported having positive views of Muslims — the highest of any non-Muslim faith group surveyed — compared to 13 percent with negative views. The same percentage of Jews reported that a candidate’s endorsement of a Muslim ban would decrease their support for that individual.
And as regard to Muslims, 45 percent of the Muslim-American respondents had favorable views of Jews, while just 10 percent reported having negative views
Information on the poll:
The poll was commissioned by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a research and advocacy organization for Muslim Americans. Among the 2,376 respondents were 804 who identified as Muslim and 360 as Jewish.
The margin of error was 3.6 percent, but higher for Jews and Muslims: 7.6 percent for the former and 4.9 percent for the latter.
As a religious Jewish American with many friends who throughout my life have had many positive interactions with my Muslim brothers and sisters all I can say is Amen.
