Anti-Muslim Prejudice among Jews
Fear of and prejudice against Muslims can also be found, in varying de-
grees, in some segments of the Jewish community, including some in
positions of religious leadership. This is more of an undercurrent that
might be expressed by Jewish children or individuals. However, there
has been no known incident of Jewish violence against Muslims in Aus-
tralia while the official Jewish leadership, both religious and lay, opposes
any discrimination toward Muslims and is highly critical of verbal and
physical attacks. Indeed, a number of Jewish leaders have been active in
promoting interfaith initiatives that aim to counter anti-Muslim feelings
in the community, as will be discussed in the next section.
