FBI: Hate crimes against Muslims rare

This is why they have to fabricate them. Remember: the thuggish Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has actually trumpeted fake anti-Muslim hate crimes in the past, in order to use them to score political points. They did this again just weeks ago in Georgia.

CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding case, 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. CAIR knows well that victimhood is big business: insofar as they can claim protected victim status for Muslims in the U.S., they can deflect unwanted scrutiny and any critical examination of how jihadists use Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism.

That's most likely why CAIR and others have not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating "hate crimes." They want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they can use them as weapons to intimidate people into remaining silent about the jihad threat.

"FBI data: Hate crimes against Muslims rare," by Michael Doyle in the Sacramento Bee, August 28 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

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....

True. Black-on-white and anti-Jewish crimes are the most commonly reported.

May I take this opportunity to plug one of my favourite bloggers, Sultan Knish AKA Daniel Greenfield

Always provides excellent background information and insight. He touches on the double standards of Bloomberg in "Friday Afternoon Roundup - A Convenient Stabbing, an Inconvenient Bombing."

Heh, you just can't make this stuff up. The Left understand that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"

CAIR (unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land case) is trying to make lies the truth. If they repeat the same lies enough times, many foolish people will believe them.

As someone else said, the only way to fight this is to demand proof every time you see the lies about "anti-muslim hate crimes" on the news boards.

Most of the "muslim hate crimes" I'm aware of are crimes against non-muslims perpetrated by muslims.

America is fighting a war against the ideology of hate crimes. She is doing so so that the fight is not brought to home soil like it was in 9/11.

Yet schizophrenically Americans are also expected to accept a place of indoctrination at the site of the 9/11 massacre for the followers of this ideology of hate crimes; the same ideology that sustains the terrorists, and the same ideology that advocates, in its scriptures, the killing of the Jews like another ideology of hate crimes did not so long ago.

This mosque is a symbol of the betrayal against those that where the victims of the heinous hate crime at 9/11, and the thousands soldiers that have died fighting the global advance of the supremacists.

Memo to all Muslims: Shame on Islam for embellishing, really lying, (as CAIR regularly does) about hate crimes against Muslims in America. Shame too on Islam for repressing non-Islamic religions and non-Muslims in Muslim-dominated lands while expecting to be accorded full rights in Western nations. Were I a Muslim (perish the thought) and had even a shred of objective reasoning left in me (a stretch to be sure), I would be ashamed of the Islamic record for fairness and an absence of hypocrisy.

Damn, Islam is just so repulsive. How can a person of sense and knowledge conclude otherwise?

"Hate crimes against Muslims rare" -

No surprises there.

While on the role. it is great deal more interesting to know "HATE CRIMES AGAINST NON_MUSLIMS BY THE MUSLIM". It is a curve worth watching and FBI should be as interested in it as any good American.

Somehow CAIR likes to create fake statistics on hate crimes directed towards Muslims in the U.S.

Muslims come to the U.S. with hatred imbedded in their DNA. Then hate groups like the CAIR have the
gall to create fake hate crimes, and better still want to paint the American Muslim as a poor abused
class of people.

You want a list of REAL hate crimes?
BY muslims Against NON-Muslims in the US....

Following is an incomplete listing of participants in jihad and adherents to Shari'ah law throughout the United States who have either been arrested, indicted, convicted, deported, are on the loose, or are deceased...

Pop quiz!

Spot the discrepancy in the following three consecutive paragraphs:

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.

One would think,from the second paragraph,that they wern't reports of hate crimes,but actual hate crimes!

Here's another jem:

Over the past week, a brick was thrown toward a window and several signs were left at the center north of town. One sign said "No temple for the god of terrorism," while another said "Wake up America, the enemy is here." The signs included a reference to a supposed organization called the American Nationalist Brotherhood.

"We're still investigating," Madera Sheriff's Department public information officer Erica Stuart said Friday. "We're still trying to get to the bottom of this group."

Put away your taser,Sherrif!
There is no American Nationalist Brotherhood!

Cash prize to the one who can prove it exists!

Stay classy,Sac-Bee!!

CAIR is the propaganda wing of Paliwood in the US...CAIR does not make up fake movies, they make up fake mental images, which have the same effect on the gullible...CAIR is so fake that not even CAIR is real...It's CAIRAN...Council on American Islamic Relations Action Network...

Yusef YK | August 29, 2010 9:02 AM

For what it's worth, few Muslims take CAIR seriously. They're in it for the money, I think.

At any rate it's good to know Muslims are still safe in your country.

Tonya_Greipenweiner | August 29, 2010 12:58 PM

Muslims would not HAVE to fake these hate crimes against themselves if you Islamophobic h8trs would do what we've been saying that you are doing.
