I dont see Shinto or Bahai or any of a thousand other minor religions shown either. So what? The poll is an international poll and there are very few Jews in the entire world. Most are in Israel and the US. From a world standpoint, most people on this planet are Muslim, Hindu, Christian or Buddhist. Seems by claiming to find bias, you are showing an "ugly American" face born of ignorance or bigotry.
Look at other parts of the map and you'll see similar anomalies. Japan, for instance, looks mighty peculiar, and I'm still trying to figure out why Europe is divided into Europe and Rest of Europe/Russia categories, or why the Scandinavian countries are cut in two, etc. The cartographer/graphic artist responsible for this mess should be exiled to work in a permanent magnet factory in the Solovetsky Islands.
Get rid of the UN, get rid of the "Earth Summit", focus on the Free Market, individuals have to be the solution, NGO's are a crock, etc.
Liberty and the Free Market are incompatible with "sustainable" environmental, Agenda 21 initiaitives concieved of or implemented by anything like the UN or its marxist appendages.
FRegards.
These people at the UN consider themselves rulers. They care not a true whit about the environment. They care only about establishing a power structure that would make them part of the ruling elite. They seek to impose new laws over which they may adjudicate.
""There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws."
-- Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"
I roger every bit of that, spot on. Like Lennin, they will forment and apply many divergent issues with "Useful Idiots" to attain those goals at which time they will eliminate those whom they used and rode to get there.

Which do you think is the best way to help the environment:
1. A tax on rich countries to pay for poor countries infrastructure changes.
2. A tax on the US to pay for poor countries infrastructure changes.
3. A tax on north American countries to pay for poor countries infrastructure changes.
4. A tax on the rich people in north American countries to pay for poor countries infrastructure changes.
How do you freep something like that?!
5)Let 3rd world nations taken over by a US empire. The US would rule these nations by taxing their people, extracting their resources and building a new and prosperous economy.
PS: I am serious.
