Report: Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes Jumps 52 Percent (CAIR Manufactures News Report -- The Big Lie)

WASHINGTON, D.C., 5/11/05)- A report released today by a prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group indicates that anti-Muslim hate crimes in the United States increased by more than 50 percent in the past year, from 93 cases in 2003 to 141 in 2004.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations' (CAIR) report - the only annual study of its kind - outlines 1522 incidents and experiences of anti-Muslim violence, discrimination and harassment in 2004, the highest number of Muslim civil rights cases ever recorded in the Washington-based group's annual report. (Hundreds of anti-Muslim incidents reported immediately following the 9/11 attack were detailed in a separate report.) According to the study, called Unequal Protection,” that figure is a 49 percent jump over the preceding year.

CAIR said factors contributing to the sharp increase in reported incidents included the lingering impact of post-9/11 fears, increased awareness of civil rights issues in the Muslim community, a general increase in anti-Muslim rhetoric, growth in the number of local CAIR chapters reporting cases, and abuses associated with the implementation of national security policies. (The complete report may be viewed at: Civil Rights Report)

Ten states accounted for almost 79 percent of all incidents reported to CAIR in 2004. Those states include: California (20 percent), New York (10 percent), Arizona (9 percent), Virginia (7 percent), Texas (7 percent), Florida (7 percent), Ohio (5 percent), Maryland (5 percent), New Jersey (5 percent), and Illinois (3 percent). (All figures are rounded to the nearest whole number.)

By far the greatest increase over last year, in both real and proportional terms, occurred in the areas of unreasonable arrests, detentions, searches/seizures, and interrogations. In 2003, complaints concerning law enforcement agencies accounted for only seven percent of all reported incidents. In 2004, however, these reports rose to almost 26 percent of all cases.

There were drops in certain categories from the previous year's report. For example, workplace discrimination complaints constituted nearly 23 percent of complaints in 2003, but dropped to just under 18 percent of total complaints in 2004. Complaints involving governmental agencies decreased from 29 percent in 2003 to 19 percent in 2004.

These disturbing figures come as no surprise given growing Islamophobic sentiments and a general misperception of Islam and Muslims,” said CAIR Legal Director Arsalan Iftikhar, the report's author. Iftikhar said the phenomenon of Islamophobia will be addressed at a CAIR conference, called “Islamophobia and Anti-Americanism: Causes and Remedies,” to be held this weekend in Washington, D.C. SEE: http://www.cair-net.org/2005conference/

“We call on President Bush, whose statements after the 9/11 attacks were so important in helping to protect the well-being of the American Muslim community, to once again speak out against Islamophobic attitudes,” said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. Awad also called on Congress to hold hearings on the findings of CAIR's report.

Once again CAIR distorts the truth by ignoring federal and FBI crime reports in order to lowball the number of reported crimes in 2003 so they can show a dramatic increase in 2004. The number of hate crimes against muslims committed in 2003 as reported by the FBI in its annual Hate Crime Statistics: 2003 is 149. Therefore if you accept the FBI's 2003 figures and compare them to CAIR's 2004 figures you acually have a five percent decline in hate crimes against Muslims. This just another case of CAIR manufacturing the facts and the news to suit its perverted, Islamist political agenda.

If you would like to research FBI reports on hate crimes they may be found at Hate Crime Reports. Warning: the average file size for these reports is approximately 14Mb.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations' (CAIR) report - the only annual study of its kind

I'll need to see a report from an impartial source. CAIR doesn't pass muster with me.

Anti-muslim hatred has risen about oh, 9-11%.

If you catch my drift.

[End Times Sentinel]

Something needs to be done about this great injustice!

Be a muslim brother injured:

• By broken glass shards while smashing the window of a Jewish owned business.
• Burned while torching a synogogue.
• Blinded by errant spray paint while writing "Jews = Apes + Pigs.
• Pulling a muscle while beating his daughter for leaving the home unescorted.
• Scarred by partaking in the self mutilation of eid.

For the sake of diversity, these injuries must be prosecuted, and logically, I blame the JOOOOOS!!!
