2 It is important to note that odds ratios and logistic regressions describe correlation and not “cause.” For example, a belie that

Muslims do not want peace increases the likelihood o expressing prejudice, all else being equal, but does not mean that one causes

the other. This fnding only shows that the two variables are related statistically. When a variable has no signifcant relationship

to prejudice or non-prejudice, it means that the given variable does not increase or decrease the likelihood o prejudice or non-

prejudice, when all other measured variables are held constant. This does not mean that the variable is not related to prejudice; it just

means that it does not contribute anything beyond what the other measured variables already do in explaining prejudice. For a ull list

o measured variables used in the logistic regression, see Appendix B.

3 Muslim Americans: A National Portrait 

The variable most strongly linked to self-reported prejudice

toward Muslims is self-reported prejudice toward Jews.
