They don't cater to languages that barely anyone speaks. English and Spanish remain dominant.

There used to be a large Jewish community in Iran; a lot of them moved here after the revolution. I personally know a couple. There are still Jewish people in Iran...fewer than there used to be though!

Agreed.

Now for irony: the country receiving the largest number of Jewish immigrants these days is Germany.

It certainly wasn't meant to be funny---how could you think so.? It was meant as a "stab" at the constant claims we hear that Islam is a tolerant religion because "Jews and Christians live in Islamic countries".

Sorry if it sounded disespectful---it was supposed to sound sarcastic.....something like saying "the American Indians once allowed illegal immigration--and look where it got them"...

I really only guessed about Germany--but somewhere recently I read that the once-large Jewish population of Austria has never recovered from the Holocaust (remember the "Kurt Waldheim" affair?--I think that was his name)
