The Jurassic Press reported that the Muslim cab driver in New York had his throat slit by a Muslim hating right wingnut, except it turn out to be a Leftist peacenik. Oops. The NY City Times Square bomber, before he was caught, was identified by Mayor Bloomberg as probably a right winger of some sort, probably a TEA Partier, and the sycophantic Jurassic Press, said yep, probably so. Nope, it turn out to be an Islamofacist jihadist. Oops.
With opposition to the NY Mosque of Triumph at ground zero, the NY city cab incident, the press is reporting that hate crimes against Muslims is up, even skyrocketing. I'm reminded of huge increase of church burnings in the 1990's and how they were skyrocketing. Even Bill Clinton said he remembered churches getting burned down when he was a kid. Of course there were no churches burned down in Arkansas when Clinton was a kid. Writer Jim Glassman actually looked up and tabulated the record of church burnings, I forget how many years he went back, but several years, and the instances had been trending down. The particular year in question, the one that the Jurassic Press was reporting as a "skyrocketing" year, was the lowest year for the number church burnings.
So it is for Muslim hate crimes. Want to guess what group suffers the most hate crimes in America ? I'll spare you. Jews. Amazing. Here's some numbers, the latest are from 2008. One would think that with $billions and thousands of employees the Federal government could have a little more up to date states, but we'll have to go with these.
1,606 religious hate crimes. 4.7% of those were against Catholics, 3.7% against Protestants, and a hard number of 105 hate crimes committed against Muslim. 105 out of 1,606. 65.7% of religious hate crimes were against Jews.
Race, anti-Black hate crimes were up, 8% of race crimes, 1 of 10 for a total of 2,876.
Blacks: 2,876 hate crimes
Gays: 1,297
Jews: 1,055
Muslims: 105
American citizens are Islamophobic, hating Muslims, and perpetuating crimes against them. Well, maybe not.
We do have this though. Who's advocating what? This last week on Sept. 3
Antisemitism is on the rise world wide, at levels seen before in the Middle East and
