The city has a higher percentage of Muslims than the other two large Swedish cities. Among the population of around 250,000 inhabitants there are 45,000 individuals of Muslim background in Malmö. Including the surrounding areas, the number reaches around 100,000. Though the anti-Semitic sentiments are not shared by a majority of the Muslim population, indications show that such sentiments are more common there than among the rest of the population. Several incidents were directed towards the Jewish cemeteries in Malmö.

"Ny rapport om antisemitismen i Sverige: 41 procent har en helt
eller delvis negativ syn på judar. 25 procent av svenskarna är
negativa till tanken på en jude som statsminister. Lika många
anser att judarna har stort inflytande över världsekonomin,
15 procent anser att judarna har för stor makt i världen i dag.
Det visar en ny undersökning från Forum för levande historia
och Brå, som genomförts bland närmare 3 000 svenskar och
som publiceras i dag."

Bland muslimer i Sverige har 82,6 % en "helt eller
delvis negativ syn på judar", d v s är vad vi i dagligt tal
kallar antisemiter !

In Sweden, the Jewish center in Helsingborg was attacked by arsonists twice in one week and the Israeli embassy in Stockholm was covered with graffiti. Jews living in Sweden have been urged to take extra precautions when out on the street.

The poll of 5,000 adults in Sweden on their attitude to Israel and Jews found that over a third had "somewhat ambivalent attitude towards Jews," with 5 percent admitting to strong anti-Semitism.

Horden clearly disagrees with the assessment of the former ambassador. "Mazel does speak of anti-Semitism in Sweden," the rabbi said, but I don't think that's a problem," Horden says.

"Six percent of the population is Muslim and this causes problems, like attacks in graveyards, but you don't feel an anti-Israel situation."

Lena Posner-Koeroesi, president of the Stockholm Jewish community, claimed that whenever officials want to take action on antisemitism, they group it together with Islamophobia and homophobia. Researcher Mikael Tossavainen drafted a report issued by the Council Against Anti-Semitism that surveyed antisemitism among Muslim immigrants. The report aroused controversy due to Tossavainen's interviewing of school teachers, who noted Muslim pupils' objection to studying the Holocaust. He also stated that Swedes were unaware of what was going on in the large Muslim communities in the suburbs. Swedish Islamic studies scholar Jan Samuelsson claimed in the mainstream Dagens Nyheter (20 Oct. 2004) that Arabs would hate the Jews as long as Israel occupied Arab lands, an idea that met with understanding among Swedes.

Holocaust denier Ahmed Rami, the operator of Radio Islam, remains the chief disseminator of propaganda denying the Holocaust, although most of his activities in recent years have been limited to the Internet. In spite of his Moroccan background, Rami has gained the approval of several white power groups, including the NSF. In 2004 Rami was invited to speak at the Nordic Association where he accused Judaism of "everything that is evil."

The Malmö city library hosted an exhibition in April 2004, which presented Israel as a state built on "expulsion and terror" and which justified suicide bombing. At its inauguration, the display was supported, inter alia, by a Malmö politician from the Conservative Party, who said killing Jewish children was justified, and a Social Democrat, who said bombing Jewish civilians was self-defense, Jewish terrorists had created the State of Israel and the task of his party was to represent Muslims, not Jews, in Malmö's high-immigrant density suburb of Rosengård.
