Those Jordan results are ridiculous, or else the poll sample was too small. Having 0% for anything is suspicious.

Why does India have a greater dislike of Jews than Muslims? You'd think India would have a higher opinion of them given their joint troubles with muslims over the years. About 10% of Indians are Muslim so there's more to it than that.

India is 20% Muslim actually.

In fact, India's President is a Muslim and thier top actors are Muslims too.

I think what increases Pakistan's tolerance score for Christianity is that thier best cricketer was a Christian.

The first part may be true, but what I couldn't understand is why India's opinion of Jews is so low. Are Hindus anti-semitic? That doesn't seem likely.
My question wasn't really about the Muslims, I just wanted to discount them as a reason for the poll numbers.

I think its cool that India has a Sikh Prime Minister and a Muslim President. It shows that religious tolerance isn't just a Developed World phenomenon, and that we could take a few pointers from India.
