There were 627 anti-religios hate crime reports. Of those, 27% were against Jews, and 51% against Muslims.
Muslims make up about 8% of Sweden's population while Jews are only about 0.15%.
This means that the average Jew is 28 times as likely to be a victim of an anti-religious hate crime than the average Muslim., and over a thousand times as likely to be victimized for religion as a Christian in Sweden.
Interestingly, Sweden has a relatively low number of antisemites, according to the ADL - only 4% by their criteria, or about 300,000 people. But there are about 800,000 Muslims in Sweden, and usually more than half of Muslim population in any country is antisemitic. I'm wondering if the ADL poll included a relative sample of Muslims; they only reported on Christian and atheist responses.The police report didn't mention who the perpetrators of the crimes were, but the Jewish community has pointed to attacks by Muslims over the past decade.
