HuffingtonPost Overall small increases hid significant spikes in bias crimes against Muslims, Arabs and transgender people in 2015, with hate crimes against Muslims rising 89%, statistically breaking out of range of between 105 and 160 in the years since 9/11. Jews, however, are still by far the most frequent target of religious hate crime, constituting 548 incidents or 12.6% of all hate crime in our sample.
What is behind the spike in anti-Muslim hate crimes? While the data is not as diagnostic or predictive as some would suggest, we can at least isolate certain relevant developments that took place during this period where attitudes were possibly impacted.
These include elevated levels of prejudice and fear directed against Muslims domestically, highly publicized Islamic terror attacks and bigoted pronouncements by violent Salafist Jihadist extremists directed at Americans and Europeans, and the coalescence of populist socio-political movements in the West that lean toward Euro-Nationalist identity and away from greater international engagement in such things as existing trade agreements to immigration.
As the election season commenced, immigration and national security often took center stage, with discourse frequently shifting towards Muslims collectively, and often, regrettably, with the invocation of incendiary negative stereotypes. These stereotypes help amplify where prejudice is directed communally within various subgroups, where certain out groups are negatively characterized.
With respect to Muslims, however, prejudice has been elevated for the better part of a decade. Muslims have been either the most negatively viewed, or among the top few socially recognized groups that are negatively categorized, with the most recent study released in August’s Social Forces journal having them top that list. In 2014, before the current election season, Pew research also found that Muslims were the least positively viewed religious groups. (Gee, I wonder why?)
Ignorance about the Islamic faith and its heterogeneity, coupled with a lack of meaningful interaction with peaceful Muslim neighbors, allows publicity about real events and the significant threat posed by a minority of violent fanatical extremists to skew attitudes towards Muslim-Americans as a whole. (Actually, the greater the knowledge of the Islamic faith, the greater the hatred against Muslims)

So against the population as a whole, excluding moslems and Arabs there were 2, 938 hate crimes. Against moslems and Arabs, there were 277. Sounds like they got off easy. Now, if they would separate it into violent crimes that resulted in property destruction or bodily injury I’ll bet that the moslems got off lighter still. Do they count victims of mozzie terrorists? Because that would make it even more interesting. Number of deaths and bodily harm committed by moslems against the general public as opposed to number of deaths and bodily harm committed against moslems. They manipulate the numbers by leaving out facts. I had my hat pulled off of my head too many times to count, but I never thought of reporting it as a hate crime! They skew statistics to promote their victim status and garner sympathy.

what is outrageous is that there is SO MUCH anti-Semitism STILL as muz continue to behead, rape, sharia-law, etc etc etc….it shows the warped brains of the human race, just as in Germany, the Germans MURDERED millions of Jews who had HELPED Germany build its economy and culture after WWI, but were hated…now Germany EMBRACES and allows muz rape etc, the downfall of German people…..caused by muz and pansy German leaders….so the muz ruin the world and the world still hates Jews…..The hatred of Jews, in my opinion is envy. So, to me, the human race is sick. Instead of creating their own literature, film, medical research at rate of Jews, the world just sits back and hates Jews while kissing tuches of beheading, raping MUZ….I am so disgusted. And yes, for the first time since I was a kid, I am experiencing anti-Semitism in person…..the world has gone mad….again.

ronyvo says
“Muslim lives matter”. LOL
So Christian lives, so Jewish lives, so American lives. Muslim lives do not matter because they come to the host countries and kill, rape, destroy and when things don’t go their evil way they start whining.
It is amazing that STILL there are those AMERICANS who are living in the LA LA land. The only thing that it would wake them up is if, or when, they are personally hit. That I call STUPID.
Paul says
Hey Muslims, don’t like the land of the free? Well one of the great things about the land of the free is that you’re perfectly free to fuck off to one of those 52 or so countries where they cut off your head because you don’t belong to the “correct” branch of your satanic death cult. Please go. And fast.

“lack of meaningful interaction with peaceful Muslim neighbors,”
Now there is an odd complaint, they come here, set up their own conclaves, destroy home prices, threaten everyone, demand their own sharia, flaunt heir nasty, loud, obnoxious, religion, and flaunt their stupid subservient female attire, insist on forcing us to accept their horrid mocks right in the middle of OUR communities, and then complain that we don’t accept them as neighbors. And the godless evil MSM always back the stinking muzslime. No logic needed just AGENDA!!!!
concerned canadian says
i always laugh at percentages lol

David says
LGBT! What a load of ignorant morons! Why don’t they plan a group holiday in Saudi Arabia to express their support of muslims. It would be enlightening.
