Study shows that Muslims are the least tolerated minority in Belgium

The Jonathas Institute, a center for study and action against anti-Semitism, has published the results of the first survey ever carried out in Belgium on the perception of minorities, particularly Jewish communities.

Some Belgian media have focused on singling out anti-Semitism emanating specifically from Muslims, but the study reveals that anti-Semitic prejudice is present in all sections of Belgian society, and antipathy towards Jews concerns 14% of Belgians.

While the focus of the study is on the perception of Jews and antisemitism, it also provides important information on other ethno-racial, sexual, and religious minorities. Thus, according to the results, Muslims are the minority group that elicits the most antipathy among Belgians: 32% of respondents declare having antipathy towards Muslims, 29% towards Roma, 22% towards Turks, 19% towards North Africans, and 17% towards foreigners.

The study highlights a worrying trend of Islamophobia and xenophobia in Belgian society.
