| Hate Crimes Against Muslims "rare" Study Shows |
| 2010-11-23 |
| The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has claimed that "anti-Muslim hate crimes" have risen sharply in the U.S. since 9/11. In fact, the rate of such crimes has actually dropped, and as this new study shows, it is quite low compared to hate crimes against other groups. CAIR exaggerates the number and seriousness of hate crimes against Muslims because it knows that victimhood is big business: insofar as it can claim protected victim status for Muslims in the U.S., it can deflect unwanted scrutiny and any critical examination of how jihadists use Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism."Blacks, Jews most likely victim of US hate crimes: FBI," WASHINGTON (AFP) - Blacks and Jews were the most likely victims of hate crimes driven by racial or religious intolerance in the United States last year, the FBI said Monday in an annual report. Out of 6,604 hate crimes committed in the United States in 2009, some 4,000 were racially motivated and nearly 1,600 were driven by hatred for a particular religion, the FBI said. Blacks made up around three-quarters of victims of the racially motivated hate crimes and Jews made up the same percentage of victims of anti-religious hate crimes, the report said. Anti-Muslim crimes were a distant second to crimes against Jews, making up just eight percent of the hate crimes driven by religious intolerance.... |

| #6 solution: get all the biggest hate crime victims - jews, blacks and muslims, and put them in a nice sunny island in the caribbean or south pacific. Plenty of fresh water, good land to till, teeming fisheries, grazing land for livestock. then sail away i wonder what would be there in a thousand years? |

| #4 "Hate crimes" shouldn't even exist as a legal entity. One law governs all or you're asking for problems. |

| #3 From the methodology section of the FBI report: Only when law enforcement investigation reveals sufficient evidence to lead a reasonable and prudent person to conclude that the offenderÂ’s actions were motivated, in whole or in part, by his or her bias, should an incident be reported as a hate crime. This means the data includes incidents where some "offenders" haven't been charged much less convicted of a crime. So even if much of the erroneous public claims of bias motivated crimes are filtered out the report still relies on subjective judgments by law enforcement. A true representation should factor convictions vs reported incidents. The numbers would then prove the folly of so-called hate crime legislation. |

| #1 Yet hate crimes against Christian are not even documented. Hate crimes globally by Islam is off the chart! This whole hate crime tracking is really crimes by Christians only and is a fraud! Go back to our dear leaders "Human caused disaster" and see if it is a hate crime since in his mind it was not a terrorist act. |
