Like Me Not

Here are some interesting results from a survey among Israeli Jews regarding Christians from a Jerusalem Post article:

Q - How many Israeli Jews believe Christians are "missionaries" (a loaded perjorative term)?
A - 1 out of every 4 (25%)

Q - How many Israeli Jews are bothered by a Christian wearing a cross?
A - 1 out of every 4 (25%)

Q - For Israeli Jews, which is the closest religion to Judaism?
A - Christianity = 40%, Islam = 33%

Q - Are Jews allowed enter a church (according to Jewish belief)?
A - For secular: 1 out of every 5 (20%), and for Religious: 9 out of every 10 (90%), say NO

Q - Is Christianity idol worship?
A - For secular: 1 out of every 3 (33%), and for Religious: 3 out of every 4 (75%), say YES

Not very favorable, but actually better than I expected.
