Does that mean it's time to sell, or should I hold on to it a while longer?

Interesting... in this article there is no mention of the fact that most of the rise in reports is due to CAIR opening more offices for people to report to!

Radio Talk Shows, Iraq War Among Reasons

Yeah, it certainly wouldn't be jihads, Al Zazzera, Iran, fatwahs, terrorism, suicide bombers, babies pictured with bomb belts, cleric-sanctioned wife-beatings, radical Muslim connections to rebels/terrorism/riots in Jordan, Palestine, Saudia Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Spain, France, the Balkans, Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Phillipines, S. America, Sudan, or Salman Rushdie death threats, honor murders, low cooperation rate with anti-terrorism efforts, constaint CAIR whining, "mother of all" "drive them into the sea" rhetoric, etc....

"The war on terrorism is equated with a war on Islam," Nimer said. "Although the White House keeps saying this is not the case, a lot of the people who support the White House cannot think of it in any other terms."

Well, to be fair, the War on Terror is a direct response to the Islamic Jihad against the West, so...

"While the specific discriminatory incidents directly related to 9/11 have declined..."

...they are still going to moan to the media in ways that seem like this is as genuine a problem as the 1990s "church fires" that Bill Clinton had the FBI investigate.

Good. Maybe when it gets up *to* 70% we'll find the stones to expel them.

The trend is your friend! I'm hoping for a long-term bull market in this particular bias...

I've seen CAIR's idea of "discriminatory treatment" worthy of reporting as a hate crime: Dirty looks. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, if you give someone a dirty look and they happen to be muslim, you are committing a discriminatory act and as far as they are concerned, it's a hate crime. And it doesn't matter WHY you gave them that look. They may have just cut you off in traffic, but as far as some of these folks are concerned, we dhimmis have no right to raise our eyes at all.
