Given that Jews are 0.2% of the population of Ukraine (i.e. 2 out of every 1000), and 3 out of 100 demonstrators killed were Jewish, you could say that Jews were highly over-represented among the dead. Heck, Yanukovich was telling his underlings that that the Maidan demonstrations were a Jewish plot, while calling the demonstrators Nazis.

“What religion were the 97 killed?”

Almost all were - if they held to any religion at all - Catholic or Ukrainian Orthodox.

Not that it's an interesting conversation but I'll speculate.

Jewish organizations tend to track these things, given a history of persecution. Including Europe. And Russia and the Ukraine. So I'm ok with 3.

Muslim organizations tend to track these things too, When it's non Muslims doing the killing, likely here, or when they can reasonably blame it on Zionists. Someone suggested 1, can't argue.

That leaves 96 others. I don't know how many self identify as athiests, agnostics, Hindu, et al in the Ukraine, but I'd guess it's not a majority, so who's left.

I'd love to see Christian groups raise h*ll a bit more about the religious based genocide going on in the Islamic world, but there's no indication religion was an issue here, Christians or Jews. So it's moot.
