One in four of the world's Jews has migrated from one country to another, compared to 5% of Christians and 4% of Muslims who have left their native lands.
The findings are part of a comprehensive new study on religion and global migration, released Thursday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, which tracked the journeys of the world's 214 million migrants.

As for other trends in migration to the United States, this nation is:
• The No. 1 destination for Buddhists. About 1.7 million foreign-born Buddhists live in the United States, many of them from Vietnam.
• The top stop for immigrants with no religion, about 4.4 million people, many of who come from China.
• Second after India for its number of Hindu migrants, who number 1.3 million in the U.S.
Among Muslims, the U.S. ranks seventh as a destination, after Saudi Arabia, Russia, Germany, France, Jordan and Pakistan. There are about 2 million Muslim immigrants now living in United States, according to the study.

Of the 13.3 million Jews worldwide, 43% live in Israel and 39% live in the United States.

Interesting.

They move around a lot. Jewish explusions have occurred on a regular basis, England in 1290, France in 1306, Austria in 1420, Spain in 1492, Florence in 1495, Portugal in 1496-97, Naples in 1541, and Milan in 1597.

I am positive your ancestors there were leading the pogroms to cleanse the land. Just like you do with Muslims today.

[semen4her]

Are you saying a Jews in Europe joke may be in bad taste?

Too soon?

Interesting.

I hadn't realized that there are only 13.3 million jews worldwide. I expected that number to me much higher.

It was in 1939.

 

[KRCummings]

Did that cross the line?

 

[CHNOPS]

It was in 1939.

I get it, but I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the 6 million was half the world's Jewish population at the time.

point taken...thanks

Listen just because you got your 12 Angry Men joke all fucked up doesn't mean you gotta come in here and fuck with my Holocaust joke.

They're a sensitive lot.

Sorry, was out shooting up KRC's Benz with silenced uzi's from my motorcycle. What did I miss?

The son of god.

Pffft, like a Jew could ever ride a motorcycle.

 

[semen4her]

Can you wear a yamaka under a helmet?

 

[CHNOPS]

Shit, I forgot. It was a car bomb.

 

[KRCummings]

Shit, I forgot. It was a car bomb.

And it was a Peugeot. People who drive those deserve to get blown up.

 

[CHNOPS]

And it was a Peugeot. People who drive those deserve to get blown up.

Agreed.

They drive a lot of those in Canada. If I'm not mistaken.
