Hate crimes against American Muslims have soared to their highest levels since the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to data compiled by researchers, an increase apparently fueled by terrorist attacks in the United States and abroad and by divisive language on the campaign trail.

Quite so. The obvious conclusion to be drawn from this (if its real, and it can be hard to determine whether a crime is a “hate crime”) is that the Moslem community in the US has a serious PR problem. That is what people would be saying if it were any other grouping, some of whose members regularly showed their utter hatred for the US.
The site is gated (pun intended). Can you access it to identify the group providing this ‘research?’
What utter crapola.......How many of those so called hate crimes were perpetrated by the so called victim????
If it exists, there might be a good reason for it.
“...according to data compiled by researchers”.

The way we talk about Islamophobia every 9/11 anniversary is maddeningly oversimplified
http://www.vox.com/2016/9/9/12856912/islamophobia-september-11-oversimplified
‘A May 2016 report by Georgetown’s Bridge Initiative counted approximately 174 reported incidents of anti-Muslim violence and vandalism during 2015. These included 12 murders, 29 physical assaults, 50 threats against persons or institutions, 54 acts of vandalism or destruction of property, eight acts of arson, and nine shootings or bombings.’
A “phobia” is an “irrational fear” of something...Nothing irrational about what many Muslims feel and do to Americans....
that includes verbal...
And of those, do we know how many of those were committed by other maniacal murdering rapists?
Apparently about 5 incidents turned into 9.
And they were probably comics of bomb turbans.
Manufactured bs is right. No facts, no evidence and lots of lies. The press gleefully goes along. Never saw this before....scream victim and everyone buys into it without a scintilla of proof.
The MSM will report THAT truth when pigs fly out of Mohammed’s azz.
Where ?
Oh that’s easy,
Just look around,,
You infidels just oozing hatred eyes
for the peaceful mooselimbs.
A little “ Aloha Snakebar” never hurts.
//sarcasm squared
Excellent point JB.
I dont care.
And if that’s really IT since 2001, that’s shows incredible tolerance!!!!!
####ing traitor paper whose owner should be tried, tied, and dropped.
>>estimated that there were about 260 hate crimes against Muslims nationwide in 2015.
Now, if these were actual crimes, there would be no need to estimate.
That’s 260 in a nation of 330 million people, spread out over 365 days. Not really something that concerns rational people.
Must have been El Cajon,,,
More like 4 and there were three more with one of them a little more determined. The Moslem attacks on Mosques of which there have been several are surely included in that statistic.
Prolly in response to 80% more terrorist incidents.
Incredible tolerance indeed.
