Muslim Brotherhood front, Hamas funder CAIR tries to club non-Muslims over the head with this non-existent "backlash" and "hate crimes against Muslims" propaganda.
Time and again, we find the rare incidences of mosques that were spray painted or Muslims targeted are done by Muslims (ie here and here). There is no there there.
The Muslim cabdriver was slashed by a mosque worker and fierce supporter of the Ground Zero mosque. He worked for Cordoba/Park 51. Who can say who, if anyone, put him up to it? CAIR's offices are right next door to the Cordoba Conquest Initiative/ASMA offices on Riverside drive. I hope the police are investigating -- or will CAIR demand they take more "sensitivity training"?
All of this Goebbels-style propaganda (the Nazis played the victim card too) is, in fact, to gin up their significant fringe elements (of which their are millions) to hurt, attack, those fighting the forces of Islamic supremacism and stealth jihad.
Americans are getting wise and they are sick of it.
What is a fact, is that antisemitism is at the highest levels not seen since World War II. Thanks in large part to virulent Islamic Jew-hatred.
Check this out from the Bee, a notoriously pro-CAIR newspaper. So you know the facts are overwhelming.
FBI data: Hate crimes against Muslims rare Sacramento Bee
Numbers have declined over recent years
WASHINGTON — Hate crimes directed against Muslims remain relatively rare, notwithstanding the notoriety gained by incidents such as recent vandalism at the Madera Islamic Center.
Jews, lesbians, gay men and Caucasians, among others, are all more frequently the target of hate crimes, FBI records show. Reported anti-Muslim crimes have declined over recent years, though they still exceed what occurred prior to the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
"We see hate crimes generally go in spurts, and are often in relation to international or domestic events," Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said Friday.
In 2008, 105 hate crime incidents against Muslims were reported nationwide. There were 10 times as many incidents that were recorded as anti-Jewish during the same year, the most recent for which figures are available.
The number of anti-Muslim hate crimes leaped to a record 481 in 2001, apparently prompted by the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. It hasn't been nearly that high since.
All told, 7,783 reported hate crime incidents occurred in 2008, including 1,381 in California. These incidents can take many forms.
Lodi resident David Halla, for instance, was arrested Monday and charged with assaulting a 76-year-old charter bus passenger while en route from Modesto to Chukchansi Gold Resort-Casino. This could count as a hate crime, as witnesses say Halla was shouting racial epithets at the Spanish- speaking victim.
On the other hand, if Halla had called the alleged victim old, that wouldn't have been recorded as a hate crime, because age is not covered by federal hate crime laws.
By itself, hate is not a crime.
Congress, though, has specified that a criminal act becomes a hate crime when it is "motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation." Stiffer penalties can result.
