Quite so. The obvious conclusion to be drawn from this (if its real, and it can be hard to determine whether a crime is a “hate crime”) is that the Moslem community in the US has a serious PR problem. That is what people would be saying if it were any other grouping, some of whose members regularly showed their utter hatred for the US.

The site is gated (pun intended). Can you access it to identify the group providing this ‘research?’

"Islamophobia"

If it exists, there might be a good reason for it.

The way we talk about Islamophobia every 9/11 anniversary is maddeningly oversimplified

‘A May 2016 report by Georgetown’s Bridge Initiative counted approximately 174 reported incidents of anti-Muslim violence and vandalism during 2015. These included 12 murders, 29 physical assaults, 50 threats against persons or institutions, 54 acts of vandalism or destruction of property, eight acts of arson, and nine shootings or bombings.’

A “phobia” is an “irrational fear” of something...Nothing irrational about what many Muslims feel and do to Americans....

12 murders, 29 physical assaults on muslims in 2015. TOTAL.

And of those, do we know how many of those were committed by other maniacal murdering rapists?

Apparently about 5 incidents turned into 9.

And they were probably comics of bomb turbans.

Manufactured bs is right. No facts, no evidence and lots of lies. The press gleefully goes along. Never saw this before....scream victim and everyone buys into it without a scintilla of proof.

>>estimated that there were about 260 hate crimes against Muslims nationwide in 2015.

Now, if these were actual crimes, there would be no need to estimate.

That’s 260 in a nation of 330 million people, spread out over 365 days. Not really something that concerns rational people.

More like 4 and there were three more with one of them a little more determined. The Moslem attacks on Mosques of which there have been several are surely included in that statistic.
