More "hate crimes" from p. 52 of the report:

April 24th, 2004 – A Muslim woman and her son were harassed, threatened and attacked by another woman while shopping in Pennsylvania. The woman yelled that American troops were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan so that women did not have to dress like her and also hit her with her cart repeatedly. Employees of the store refused to call security when she requested that they do so and did not assist her in finding a phone to call the police.

• May 27th, 2004 - A Muslim man and his family were verbally harassed by a patron while eating at a restaurant in Florida. The offender called them ‘terrorists’. When the Muslim man complained, the manager elected to remove him from the premises instead of the offender.

• June 21st, 2004 – A Muslim man reported that while riding on a van that runs from New York to his home in Paterson, New Jersey, a group of Latino males harassed him. They hit him on his arm and made comments like, "take the bombs off before I kill you." The driver did not say anything until they began cursing him in Spanish at which point she asked them to stop.

• June 26th, 2004 – While driving home in Illinois, a Muslim woman was harassed and physically assaulted. Three individuals asked her for a lighter. When she replied that she did not have one, they became angry and said, “Stupid Muslims. F-cking Muslims” as they surrounded her car and repeatedly kicked it. When the victim stepped out of her car to confront them, one of the individuals punched her in the face and tore her hijab from her head.

• July 14th, 2004 – A Muslim-owned grocery store was torched and completely destroyed. Anti-Arab slurs that read, “F-ck you Arab” were found spray-painted on the scene.

• July 30th, 2004 – A Muslim woman from New York was soliciting donations on behalf of a charitable organization when she was verbally and physically attacked.

• August 6th, 2004 – A Muslim-owned market was burned down in Texas.

• August 13th, 2004 – A cabbie in New York was punched in the face while driving a cab near Ground Zero after the offender said to him, "You are Muslim." The offender was drunk and later charged with third degree assault and harassment.

• August 23rd, 2004 – In Tucson, Arizona, a Muslim family of Jordanian origin reported that their car was vandalized in the parking lot of their apartment building. Allegedly the car's tires were slashed and the windshield was smashed. A note taped to the vehicle read, “You are not welcome here. Go back home you stupid f-ckers.”

• September 12th, 2004 – In California, a Muslim man and his children placed an order at a drive through Burger King, when he overheard an employee say to his co-workers, "Look, Osama Bin Laden" is here.

• October 27th, 2004 – A community member filed a report of graffiti on a METRA stop in Illinois that read, “Kill all Muslims B4 they kill U.”

• October 29th, 2004 – Two Staten Island men were arrested and charged with hate crimes for allegedly hitting a Muslim student at Stony Brook University while shouting anti-Muslim slurs. Suffolk County police charged the 19 and 20-year old with criminal trespass in the second degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree as a hate crime. The two men allegedly knocked on a student's door and awoke him at about 4 a.m. The victim said he opened the door and the two men went into his room and began throwing items at him, hitting him and overturning furniture, all the while calling him anti-Muslim names.

• December 1st, 2004 – In Chesterfield, Virginia, a Sikh-owned gas station was destroyed by fire and anti-Muslim graffiti was found on a nearby trash container and shed. The fire is being investigated as an arson and possible hate crime.

• December 21st, 2004 – A fire that took place at a used car lot in Nebraska is being investigated as arson and a hate crime. Swastikas were spray-painted on the walls. Most of the graffiti involves derogatory references to Latinos and Arabs.

I wonder how many of these alleged arsons were set for insurance purposes?

And to think that we invite these people into our country! How much longer will it take before these pictures will also originate in the US? Oh, I forgot, Islam is a religion of peace. For crying out loud, when will the western civilizations wake up and realize that they are living with a cancer.

Well Alouette,

It is obvious that CAIR has their own definition of hate crime...like if you don't use a Kleenex to cover your nose while sneezing in the presence of a Muslim you have committed a hate crime...now, let's talk about Auschwitz...

Sigh ... Try telling that to a young lady who's gotten pregnant out of wedlock, is scared out of her mind, and is seriously considering murdering her unborn child.

have already researched the FBI Uniform Crime Reports on hate crimes from 2000-2003. Muslims are not the major target of hate crimes

You mean CAIR is lying taking liberties with the truth! I'm shocked..but then I am so easily shocked.

Thanks for the heads up. Should be interesting reading. Will query Professor Daniel Pipes on this. He should have an interesting critique on this real soon.

Let me take a wild guess.

Muslims in America are jailed for proseletyzing.

Muslims in America must pay a heavy tax to practice their faith.

Muslims in America are burned to death in the streets if they criticize American culture.

Muslims in America see their women gang raped by roving bands of American men for wearing their head scarves. (Hey, they were asking for it!)

Muslims in America are regularly captured and sold into slavery.

Muslims in America are blown up by American suicide bombers.

Muslims in America are captured and beheaded on videotape, which is subsequently shown on ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN.

/ smirking, spitting sarcasm

Oh, I'm sorry! That's what happens to non-Muslims in Muslim countries. Silly me!

I know, I know. Now, looking over shoulder. LOL

At least I didn't call him a "raghead," so maybe I'll escape the "Fatwa?"

I may be getting a little long in the tooth and my flexes aren't what they used to be, but ask me if I'm going to loose any sleep over it?

Did I tell you that me and John Kerry were in Nam?

Of course, he was there for 4 months; me for 18!

BRING IT ON!!!!

If they REALLY want to have their civil rights violated, let them knock on my door unexpectedly. Instructions could be provided to them regarding how quickly a two inch incision along the femoral artery can "bleed out".
