Abstract:
The Woolf Institute has collected nationally-representative survey data to study the impact of COVID-19 on British Jewish and British Muslim communities. Our survey asked questions concerning testing, symptoms, self-isolation and vaccination. Is the willingness to self-isolate and receive a vaccine higher or lower in Jewish and Muslim communities, and how do they compare to the general population? We asked questions about levels of trust in various sources of public health information: from family, friends and local religious leaders, to news and social media, to the NHS and local authorities. Are faith communities less likely to ignore official public health messaging and more likely to follow guidance from a local rabbi or imam? We heard media stories about ruling-breaking during the pandemic within both Jewish and Muslim communities. To what extent does statistical evidence support or challenge these accounts? Our survey included questions concerning adherence to Covid-19 rules and restrictions.

Abstract:
This article examines sensitivity towards antisemitism and Islamophobia within British Jewish and British Muslim communities respectively. It reports the analysis of data related to Jewish and Muslim respondents who were shown a series of statements and invited to report the extent to which the statements offended them. The study develops a growing body of empirical studies in two fields dominated by historical and theoretical perspectives. The analysis reveals differences between Jewish and Muslim respondents in terms of inclination to attach labels of antisemitism or Islamophobia respectively and their overall sensitivity. The analysis also reveals the differing effects of various demographic and socio-economic factors in determining sensitivity towards antisemitism and Islamophobia. The analysis focuses particularly on age, education and place of birth. It is the first known comparative study of antisemitism and Islamophobia to use statistics.
