(CNN) - Gunshots fired into a mosque in Connecticut. Armed men protesting the "Islamization of America" outside Islamic centers in Texas. Death threats called in to mosques in Florida, Maryland and Virginia.
Anecdotal evidence suggests 2015, a year bookended by murderous attacks carried out in the name of Islam, has been one of the most intensely anti-Muslim periods in American history. A new study shared with CNN puts statistical heft behind that suspicion.
Through December 8, American mosques and Islamic centers have been the victims of vandalism, harassment and anti-Muslim bigotry at least 63 times this year, the Council on American-Islamic Relations says in the study. That's the highest number since the Muslim civil rights group began keeping track in 2009 and a threefold increase over last year.
The previous high was 53 incidents in 2010, during the controversy over the "ground zero mosque" near the site of the 9/11 attack in New York. But many of those incidents concerned bias at zoning hearings for new mosques. This year's hostilities have a sharper edge.

100,000 Christians killed by muslimes per year 2005-2010 and even more than 100,000 per year 2010-2015.
Yeah, cry me a free king river.
Antisemitic hate crimes in the US typically outnumber anti-Islamic ones by a factor of 6 or more. Where’s the outrage?
The only way to stop the hateful carnage:
Outlaw Islam
Expel all Muslims
Stop all aid to Muslim lands
Mohammed was a pedophile.
TRUE.
Why should ANYONE tolerate THIS truth?
I'd like to see how many Catholic and Protestant and Jewish and Mormon facilities were attacked...and being attacked continually...
Yeah, some pathetic hack “journalist” had a sob segment on ABC nightly news last night.
three whole incidents. the supposed arson, someone throwing a pigs head toward a mosque and a phone threat. that was BEFORE their segment on the 14 Americans slaughtered in San Bernardino.
The peaceful moslems, if there are any, had better get a clue, and clean house, lest the overwhelmingly non-muslim population of this country do it for them. I'm thinking they won't like that so much.
I guess you reap what you sow.
Women, children and Moslems hit hardest.
I’d appreciate a side by side comparison to the number of Jewish synagogues vandalized to mosques vandalized. I’m sure the media will be working hard on ignoring that request.
But hey, let’s open it up, let’s also find the number of Christian churches vandalized as well...
Going to bet that the number of Christian churches vandalized is going to dwarf either number, but I’m also going to bet that more Subway restaurants are vandalized each month than the total number of mosques vandalized in the past 5 years.
63 times this year? That’s just a little better than once a week. Shirley we can do better than that.

Religious bias
Of the 1,140 victims of anti-religious hate crimes:
56.8 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders’ anti-Jewish bias.
16.1 percent were victims of anti-Islamic (Muslim) bias.
6.2 percent were victims of bias against groups of individuals of varying religions (anti-multiple religions, group).
6.1 percent were victims of anti-Catholic bias.
2.5 percent were victims of anti-Protestant bias.
1.2 percent were victims of anti-Atheist/Agnostic bias.
11.0 percent were victims of bias against other religions (anti-other religion). (Based on Table 1.)

Aloha Snackbar!
Boohoo.
Woman beheaded at work my co-worker in Oklahoma City.
I cannot muster up an ounce of sympathy for them.
Paging the author of “Enemies Foreign and Domestic”: Do you think this is the work of a “STU Team”, ginning up false-flag events to create the clamoring for a government crackdown on gun ownership? Are we seeing your book play out before our very eyes?
