Totally inaccurate.
Care to explain?

Well for starters the United States has the largest practicing Jewish population in the world. This map says otherwise and the only area highlighted with the Judaism color is Israel. There are practicing Hebrews and even those like myself scattered all over the world. Whoever made this map is way off. To call it flawed would be a gross understatement.
You are correct Yuri, it might be the place with the biggest population practicing the Jewish religion but you are also wrong. The biggest population doesn't mean the majority does.

Hmm. I guess that makes sense. I suppose I would be part of an even smaller minority since Messianic only consists of thousands (350k estimated) of people around the entire planet as far as I know. Its not Christian and not really Judaism either. In fact its not even categorized as a "religion" although Messianic Judaism is the closest thing to it. Heck, I don't know what to call it since I don't even know if I am Jewish or otherwise.
There should be a Judaism mark in Florida.
JUDEN? Most probably because the community is not big enough to warrant space on the map and if you look closely there are jewish stars all over certain areas of the map
Hmm. I could have sworn those stars weren't there before. Terrible eyesight ftw.
