Approximately 85% of the world’s refugees are Muslims. But they don’t seek asylum in any of the 56 Muslim countries, they only seek asylum in non-Muslim countries.

Publisher’s rating: False

The review says the 85% figure is unsupported, noting that UNHCR does not report refugee statistics by religion and citing estimates that Muslims comprise about 29–30% of the world’s migrants. It also says Muslim-majority countries host large refugee populations, including Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and that proximity and host-country capacity shape where refugees seek safety.

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says the viral post falsely presented a claim about political participation for people naturalized from South Korea as a party announcement. The party policy cited in the post discusses considering how foreigners may participate in politics, but does not mention South Korea or naturalization; people who naturalize acquire Japanese citizenship and are no longer foreigners.

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The viral post claimed that JICA and Sanjo City had agreed to promote foreign residents’ settlement. The review says the agreement’s settlement provisions concerned Japanese JICA regional revitalization fellows, not foreign migration: “定住・定着の対象は日本人の地域おこし研究員” and “外国人の定住・定着を促進するものではない。”
