Hyping Hate Crime Vs. Muslims
IBD ^ | December 3, 2007

Posted on 12/03/2007 5:17:38 PM PST by Kaslin

Discrimination: New FBI data on hate crimes reveal Muslim groups are crying wolf about exploding anti-Muslim abuses. They're actually shrinking, belying claims of mass Islamophobia.


Not only are anti-Islamic hate crimes way down, but they're a fraction of overall religious hate crimes. The overwhelming majority of such crimes target Jews, something CAIR and other Muslim groups don't seem all that concerned about.

In 2006, a whopping 66% of religiously motivated attacks were on Jews, while just 11% targeted Muslims, even though the Jewish and Muslim populations are similar in size. Catholics and Protestants, who together account for 9% of victims, are subject to almost as much abuse as Muslims in this country.

Last year's anti-Islamic hate crimes totaled 156. While just one hate crime is one too many, that's a 68% drop from 2001.

The FBI report gives lie to CAIR's alarmist narrative of "Islamophobic" lynch mobs marching on mosques across America. In reality, Americans have been remarkably, and admirably, tolerant and respectful of Muslims and their institutions since 9/11.

"Muslim groups are crying wolf"

This speaks poorly of our efforts to harass them.

Even one would be one too many.

Islam in the United States

Demographics

There is no accurate count of the number of Muslims in the United States, as the U.S. Census Bureau does not collect data on religious identification. There is an on-going debate as to the true size of the Muslim population in the US. Various institutions and organizations have given widely varying estimates about how many Muslims live in the U.S. These estimates have been controversial, with a number of researchers being explicitly critical of the survey methodologies that have led to the higher estimates.[31] Others claim that no scientific count of Muslims in the U.S. has been done, but that the larger figures should be considered accurate.[32] Some journalists have also alleged that the higher numbers have been inflated for political purposes.[33] On the other hand, some Muslim groups blame Islamophobia and the fact that many Muslims identify themselves as Muslims but do not attend mosques for the existence of the lower estimates.[34]

The following are a few of these disputed estimates:

My question would be, “What percentage of the hate crimes against Jews were perpetrated my Muslims?”

I’ll bet they don’t keep that statistic . . . in the words of Church Lady, “How convenient!”

I would say about the same as Ivory Snow’s pureness...99 44/100%.

I wrote about this fake issue about 3 years ago at www.frontpagemagazine.com. *roughly entitled “What Anti-Arab Discrimination”.

Nothing has changed, only the lies by the Moslem extremists have increased about non-existence discrimination.

And we have a swampful of careerist politi-creatures that'll suppress the hell out of the true percentage of those 'hate crimes' that the Islamo-maggotry is on the initiating end of - especially with the Jewish population. Sure, it'll be chalked up in large part to the skinhead faction, but Nazis and Muzzies have been sleeping in the same flea-laced tent for decades.
