The only people I see attacking anyone are Muslims.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US Attorney General Eric Holder was Tuesday to meet with religious leaders from across all faiths to discuss ways to stem a wave of attacks against Muslims and mosques.
The talks would examine measures the Department of Justice "can take against rising anti-Muslim hate and acts of violence and intimidation against American Muslims," the broad coalition said in a press release.
The 4:00 pm (2000 GMT) meeting comes as an evangelical church in Florida vowed to press ahead with plans to burn a Koran on Saturday, to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Anti-Muslim tensions also appear to have been rising after a Muslim group proposed building an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero, the site where the World Trade Center once stood before it was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks.
The coalition called on Holder to make a strong statement underscoring the US government's commitment to religious freedom and condemning hate crimes.
"Religious leaders encourage the Department of Justice to be highly visible and unceasingly bold in protecting the guarantees of the constitution for minorities as well as for the majority," said Interfaith Alliance president Welton Gaddy in a statement.
"Having spoken to many families across the country over the last few weeks, I have heard many Muslim Americans say they have never felt this anxious or this insecure in America since directly after September 11," Ingrid Mattson, head of the Islamic Society of North America, told a press conference.
She was flanked by the other religious leaders who were to meet Holder later in the day in a coordinated show of support.

0bama and Holder would’ve done this regardless, HOWEVER, they would’ve had no real examples of anything that could be remotely considered “islamaphobia” w/o this nutjob preacher.
Look at it this way. Name one single positive thing that could come out of burning korans. This joker ought to go back to handling snakes or something.
Where the hell are all these attacks on muzz and mosques?
im sure if any mooselimbs wouldve been beheaded by anybody but other mooselimbs, we'd have heard something about it...
they physically kill CHRISTians across the globe, but a demand that they assimilate in this country is grounds for 'hate' crimes...
ISLAM is the NEW MARXISM and NAZISM.
But it is worse than the two former secular totalitarianist ideologies because it pretends to be a religion which can promise heaven to hese biggots who will do anything to defend it and because it is spread worldwide.
In addition Islamists are using the anti-racist and human-rights rethoric to promote their cause,silence their opponents while they try to appear as victims.
Burning Quran is a symbol meaning that we don’t want islam and its rules in our societies. It is nothing to burn a Quran beside the killing,the murder,the beheading,the stoning of innocent people, of women, of muslims who want to change religion....
ISLAM is also used by a bunch of liberal croocks to weaken and undermine western people’s and societies’ soul and identities and cultures. Liberals want people to become brainwashed,amnesic consumers who can be easily ruled by the fake “god” big government....
“Political correctness is killing this nation.”
See my tagline.

Remember, everyone, that ObaMao said in one of his books that he will side with the muzz if “the winds” drift against them. He has loudly proclaimed that his allegiance is to the muzz.
The last time I saw statistics there were far more so-called “hate crimes” against Jews than against Muslims. How about that, Eric?
Hate to break it to Holder, but hate crimes on muslims are DOWN.
Hate crimes on my tribe? Hmmm, about half of all the hate crimes.
Ah. I get it. Muslims can threaten us, blow hard against the Christians, and demand that a Mosque be built at Ground Zero, but Americans can’t retaliate. Do I have this right?
Until the Muslims realize that living in America is not a carte blanche to destroy the place they live (dogs would never do that) they need to understand that Americans are proud of this country and WILL defend it against all comers, inside or out.
The “Interfaith Alliance” is a leftist organization that uses religious sophistry as a means to push a humanist progressive agenda...
The guy who waves the bloodied shirt rules the west. The guy who wields a club rules the east.
Once again, the left is playing identity politics showing favoritism to some at the expense of others.

As recent threads have noted, this is a problem, worthy of a White House summit.
Inconvenient Truth: 10 Times More Hate Crimes Against Jews Than Muslims
Yeah! Let’s pull all of the FBI agents away from tracking terrorists and put them in the deep south chasing white guys with southern drawls. That’s really going to make us safer. /s
I was just thinking, when we get a republican as speaker of the house in Nov, can we impeach both zero and zero junior, then have a republican in the white house?????
” Look at it this way. Name one single positive thing that could come out of burning korans.”
....... giving the filthy muslims a chance to show the doubters what the UK already knows firt hand
It doesn't matter, they have the Constitutional right to do it, and if the muzzies don't like it, tough noogies.
The only people I see attacking anyone are Muslims.
There have been two attacks on christian churches in Ft. Wayne, Ind. in the last few months, I wonder if Holder is personally involved in solving those crimes?
