The Foundation for Ethnic
Understanding (FFEU) released
a study that provides a national
benchmark measuring opinions
and behaviors of Jewish and Muslim
Americans.
The study showed that the gaps
between the two groups were smaller
than previously thought and that
the more devout the person was,
the closer he aligned with the other
religion. The one issue where there
was dramatic disagreement was over
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
American Jews and Muslims who
interact often with the other faith
are more likely to see the similarities
between the religions and commu-
nities. The majorities of both faiths
recognize the similarities between
them — and the study found that
this increases with exposure to the
other.
Nearly three-quarters of Muslims
who interact with Jews frequently say
that Judaism and Islam share more
similarities than differences. More
than two-thirds of Jews (69 percent)
who interact with Muslims frequent-

ly agree. The study found that those
with more exposure to the other faith
are more likely to see it as inclusive
and progressive.
Both faiths see the importance
of working together to combat dis-
crimination and are optimistic that
America can be more tolerant. Both
see the merits in combining forces
to achieve this goal. Three-quarters
of Muslims who interact with Jews
frequently, say that it is “very impor-
tant” for the two faiths to work
together on strengthening the laws
to prevent discrimination. Nearly
three-quarters of Jews (73 percent)
who interact with Muslims frequent-
ly agree that it is very important.
“Muslim-Jewish relations are
thought to be in conflict, but this
study shows that they are in a state
of cooperation,” said FFEU President
Rabbi Marc Schneier. “This is the
first definitive study of its kind to
quantify that with cooperation and
dialogue between the two groups, we
are stronger together. This is the mis-
sion of the FFEU and the study shows
our success in this area.” •
