"It is this guilt by association that has created a sense of siege in the American-Muslim community," he added.

Then I suggest the American Muslim community start doing something constructive, instead of simply whining about people being mean to them. How about policing their own communities and turning in imams and other infidel haters for a start? How about not donating money, earned in America's capitalist society, so that it can fund terrorists wishing to destroy that same capitalist society?

I bet there's really been no change at all. I bet you most of the new complaints stem from the government now watching Muslims more closely, and interviewing them - thereby leading to complaints of anti-Muslim discrimination. (No proof here, just speculation.)

Does this surprise you that CAIR is Saying this, I think the NAACP, ADL and CAIR all have the same statisticians

[Alouette]

its office received 602 reports of discrimination against Muslims

Let's see now, I gave the One-Fingered Salute to a hijab-wearing lady who almost backed her SUV smack into my headlight in the Fairlane Mall parking lot. So that probably counts as one "hate crime." Then I compounded the "hate crime" when I yelled "Watch where you're going!" when she rolled down her window to yell "kiss my @$$!" in Arabic.

A 15% increase in one year -- a meaningless statistic that can be disected in a dozen ways. Here's just one:

Between immigration and births and Muslim converts, it's probably safe to say that the Muslim population in this country increased by 15% as well. Therefore, no net increase.

" ... a new school bus for the Islamic Academy of Peace was torched."

Here's the difference: if a Muslim had torched a school bus, it would have been full of innocent infidel children.

Haven't almost all (if not all) major acts of terror since 1970 been commited by young arab males between the age of 18 and 35? I believe its something like that? So to all you moron commie-lib one world B.S. types......AT THAT POINT IT'S NO LONGER A STEREOTYPE!!!!! IT'S A BLOODY DEMOGRAPHIC!!!!!!

that is all........

[DPB101]

Yeah..yeah...we know. Homophobia, antisemitism, racism are terrbile problems in America too. Amazing anyone wants to live here.

I wish more didn't.

WHAAAAAAAAA!

Cry a river, muslim pondscum! Until you stop celebrating in the streets, stop partying at american universities where you are students and, instead, loudly denounce stupid muslim death tricks ("homicide bombings", et.al.), you can all, collectively, eat nasty solids and die!.

Your koran tells you to kill infidels, and none of you say this is not so, rather you follow the koran and prove your intentions daily, worldwide.

You are a danger to civilization and, like other dangers to civilization (smallpox, for example), you should be eradicated. You're lucky all you're getting is a little "discrimination" when, as your actions, and/or lack of action against violence, prove unequivocally, you don't even desrve to exist!

There, now. I feel SO much better.....

[Persia]

Fails to mention that in spite of the massive rise of hate crimes against Muslims the # is still far lower than Jews.
So i don't get what all the whining is about either.

[Old Sarge]

Thank you to Eala, mil-vet, and especially to Pro-Bush, for the insights.

It's gratifying to know I'm not alone in my thoughts...

[BattleFlag]

"Anti-Muslim violence rises in U.S."

...possibly, but it has an aweful long way to go before it approaches the Anti-American violence commited by devout Muslims on 9/11/2001. (This instance among others)

[dennisw]

BLLSHT!!!!

[xm177e2]

Most of these incidents have nothing to do with "violence," they are about Muslims with hurt feelings.

[stboz]

You know, the first thing that came to my mind when I read the title of this thread, is the scene in Crocodile Dundee where Mik & the Sheila are accosted by the little punk who says, "Gimmie yo' money!"

The Sheila says, "Mik! He's got a knife!"

This is of course followed by Mik reaching into his vest and producing a fine Bowie-knife blade and responding, "Oh, no, love! That's not a knife. Here's a knife!"

At which time Mik slices and dices the punks clothes to rags. The punk then departs.

Anti-Muslim violence? Oh, no, love....not even close.
