Reported hate crimes against Muslims rose in 2015 to their highest levels since those seen in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, according to FBI statistics released Monday.
Civil rights groups had been raising concerns about an anti-Muslim backlash in the U.S. even before the terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, late in the year. The reporting period covers calendar year 2015, but comes at a time of heightened tensions following last weeks presidential election.

included hate crimes are any mention of a sura from the koran or anything from their four other ‘holy’ books.

If by "hate crimes" you mean dirty looks, sotto voce mutterings, and an occasional middle-finger salute, then yeah, I can see that.

"In 2015, there were 257 incidents of anti-Muslim bias compared to 154 incidents the prior year, an increase of 67 percent. "
Big Bleeping deal! This nothing.

Right. How dare you quote our reasons for slaughtering infidels based on verses in the un-Holy Koran?

The reporting period covers calendar year 2015, but comes at a time of heightened tensions following last weeks presidential election. So after seven years of Obama hate crimes against Muslims were up last year. Clearly it's Trump's fault, because it's being reported now. Or something like that.

Try posting something negative about muslims at this newspaper site. I did so ONCE at the San Jose paper and was immediately banned.

This clearly depends on how you define “hate crimes.” If you look collectively at homowood, muslims, and the pervert crowd, heir hate crimes against Christians far exceed all others combined.

I walk up and say, “you live in a free country now, you don’t have to dress like that anymore” and walk away.
Guess that’s a hate-crime now?

Raise an eyebrow at a niqab’d Muslimah and you are a hate criminal.
