Despite its own survey findings, the ADL has downplayed or ignored the fact that Muslims around the world are disproportionately antisemitic.
In May 2023, the ADL issued a summary report of its most recent survey of six Western and four Eastern European countries. It made no mention whatsoever of extreme Muslim antisemitism. Instead, it emphasized an alleged “high concern over right-wing violence.” Yet the ADL’s own raw 2023 tabulations for the only two countries where Muslim data was provided—France and Belgium—revealed the same decade-old phenomenon: 62% of French Muslims exhibited extreme antisemitism vs. 15% of French Christians. For Belgium, the numbers were 52% of Muslims vs. 21% of Christians.
In 2019, the ADL heavily promoted journalist Bari Weiss’s book How To Fight Anti-Semitism. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Weiss failed to note that the 16 most antisemitic countries in the world are all Arab-Muslim and that Muslims are overwhelmingly more antisemitic than other religious groups. Weiss noted only that “a 2014 ADL survey which looked at attitudes toward Jews in 100 countries found that … only 8% of respondents in the Middle East and North Africa had heard of the Holocaust and believed it actually happened.”
