No violence or hatred directed at an innocent Muslim or non-Muslim is ever justified. The fact is that there is far less of it than Islamic supremacist groups and the mainstream media would have you believe. We heard it yet again not just after, but during the Sydney jihad hostage crisis: there would be a “backlash” against Muslims, a wave of Islamophobic hate crimes. There has not been, of course. Leftists and Islamic supremacists use the specter of “Islamophobic hate crime” to shut down honest discussion of how jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism, and intimidate people into thinking that there is something wrong with resisting jihad terror.
“New FBI Hate Crime Stats: Another Blow to Islamist Fictions,” by David J. Rusin, Islamist Watch, December 15, 2014 (thanks to Bob):
The FBI’s newly released hate crime statistics for 2013 offer a fresh example of how reality refuses to conform to the dubious narrative of widespread Muslim victimization at the hands of American bigots. As in previous years, most hate crimes were not religiously motivated, most religiously motivated hate crimes were anti-Jewish, and Muslims suffered fewer total incidents than many groups and fewer per capita than gays or Jews. Anti-Islamic crimes did not involve greater violence than others and have not become more frequent. A glance at the details:
- Of the 5,928 incidents of hate crime tabulated in 2013, 135 (2.3 percent) were anti-Islamic, an increase of five over the prior year but still slightly below the annual average of 139 from 2002 to 2011.
- The small rise in recorded anti-Islamic incidents could be attributable to improved data collection rather than a true uptick. Reports submitted by law enforcement agencies covered a population of 295 million Americans in 2013, 18.6 percent higher than in 2012.
- There were 1,031 incidents inspired by religion last year, 625 (60.6 percent) of which were anti-Jewish. Anti-Islamic ones constituted just 13.1 percent.
- Anti-Islamic incidents were also outnumbered by those targeting blacks (1,856), whites (653), gay men (750), lesbians (160), LGBTs in general (277), Hispanics (331), and people of other ethnicities (324). Anti-Asian incidents (135) equaled anti-Islamic ones.
- Based on a 2013 estimate of 2.95 million Muslims derived from Pew’s 2011 figure and typical growth of 100,000 per year, there were 4.6 anti-Islamic incidents per 100,000 Muslims in 2013, the same as 2012’s rate and lower than the average of 6.0 per 100,000 for 2002–11. The 2013 rate for Muslims was less than half that for Jews (9.6 per 100,000 for a population of roughly 6.5 million) and homosexuals/bisexuals (11.0 per 100,000, assuming that they comprise 3.5 percent of the U.S. population). The rate for blacks was similar to that of Muslims (4.5 per 100,000 for a population of 41.6 million).
- Anti-Islamic hate crimes were no more violent than others in 2013. Of the 6,933 offenses spanning all hate crimes, 734 (10.6 percent) were aggravated assaults and 1,720 (24.8 percent) were simple assaults. The 165 anti-Islamic offenses mirrored this breakdown: 17 (10.3 percent) were aggravated assaults and 41 (24.8 percent) were simple assaults. Further, none of the five deaths in 2013 resulted from anti-Islamic hate crimes.

Victimism is a sign of immaturity. The chiild when he or she does something wrong they usually blame somone or something else. So, this whole narrative “islamaphobia ” should be undertood for what it is. INFANTILE.
Zebo says
If you create a religion that is so full of flaws that it can’t even meet lowest logical and primitive human standards than you have to turn your followers into ignorant &/or violent infantiles who always consider themselve innocent victims
That’s why muslims get angy much faster than any other people.
Islam is about outsoucing guilt:No matter what bad happens a muslim will try to blame a non muslim.
If a women is raped? Well-blame her.She didn’t wear a burka.
If something bad happens in islam(like terror) blame others and live in denial.
If there is something good that has nothing to do with islam(like new technical or medical inventions) muslims praise allah.
Everything good comes from allah,everything bad from non-islamic things.
And this primitive black&white thinking prevent people from self awarenessand independence and growing up.
Rob Porter says
Zebo, Good stuff. Gave me a chuckle. And just think of it, this is the low-grade, mentally-defective mob who Barack Obama favours, is promoting and assisting at every turn – and to whom David Cameron cow-tows, and about whom Australia’s Tony Abbot talks absolute scheit.

Huck Folder says
This reminds me of a gaffe by LoonWatch. From an FBI Report, they TRUMPETED that 94% of terrorist acts WEREN’T by moslems – only 6% were. I wouldn’t brag about that. When you are, even by your own over-inflated count, just 2% of the population, that means you are three times over-represented.
But the real kicker was that 94% of deaths and 94% of injuries WERE caused by the worshippers of mo.
Their head-prick Danios wouldn’t publish that.
mortimer says
Islamic pseudo-victimology is mere psychological projection and role reversal as well as Marxist disinformation invented in Moscow in the 1960s.
Muslims are the perpetrators according to Allah and the kafirs are their targeted victims. This is jihad.
270 million deaths (real victims…not pseudo-victims) were caused by jihad since the caliphs fabricated the absurd legends of Mohammed and foisted their vicious amorality upon the world.
Stand Fast in the Liberty says
Actually, that type of projection is as old as mankind itself. In the garden of Eden, Adam told God, “the woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.” Likewise, Eve told God, “the serpent beguiled me and I did eat.”

“The small rise in recorded anti-Islamic incidents could be attributable to improved data collection rather than a true uptick”
— and/or due to a flexible definition of what a “hate crime” actually is. My favorite was one where a Muslim woman was in a toy store (I think in the DC area) and she reported that a white man looked angrily at her, then threw a Mr. Potato-Head doll at her. That’s it. That was the “hate crime”. Small potatoes compared with the truly horrific shit Muslims are doing to other people around the world.
And of course CAIR has been in the hate crime manufacturing business for years:

Yep. We had something exactly similar in the UK, when two young people got *18 months* in jail for putting a rasher of bacon on a mosque door knob.

Someone should ask muslims who is responsible for most anti-jewish and anti-gay crimes and who is turning most women into sex slaves.
i am pretty sure we all know the answer and muslims know it best.
But as no religion is better protected from criticism than islam we will never get those official numbers.
R Cole says
That no one really cares one way or the other day to day – about Muslims – baffles them.
But if you are already on an anti-western bend – this sort of thing fits in nicely. The world is against us – the west hates us and on and on… even poisoning their children’s minds with it.
Most western Muslims are immigrants – and back in the old country – anyone saying – Islam is a problem – would have to be either imprisoned or even sentenced to death. So it is like – adjusting to freedom – or life in the free world.
But more if you believe the world will be brought under Islam – by a violent battle – then they begin to project – what some have in mind to do to the non-believer. Further there is the fact that the freedom to practice one’s non-Muslim religion in the Islamic world is severely curtailed – with this in mind Muslim immigrants believe that the west wishes to do this to them. Although in some cases where Muslims believe under Islam a person should be harmed or killed – or an individual’s freedoms restricted – such as with women’s clothing or forced marriages – then western law looks harshly on this – as the ISIS members are saying – in the west we can’t practice our religion freely.
This Islamophobia campaign is another form of an attack.
There is no clear definition of what the word means – it was supposed to at one time mean – those unknowledgeable about Islam speaking out of turn so-to-speak – but then we find ex-Muslims are also called Islamophobes. The meaning of Islamophobia clearly has its roots in sharia law – such as those governing apostasy and blasphemy – and western governments should steer clear of the expression.
Besides the violence – which is the number one reason Islam is criticized – there is the fact that Muslims believe that they should rule – that their way is perfect. So it’s a religious ego trip by a factor of 10.
Islam ain’t what it used to be!
Muslims are immigrants because they sought a life that was better than within the Islamic world. Yet they still believe in the religion’s supremacy – while others – the critics do not.
Perhaps Muslims need more help to adjust. It is not that people are attacking you – they simply don’t wish to live under your sharia laws – however much you may believe in them.
Equality under the law – contradicts Islam.

Angemon says
I believe that a description of those 135 incidents would make an entertaining reading. Entertaining on the sense that it’s quite likely the reader would find out that the religion of the victims played no role in some, if not many, of the alleged “hate-crimes”. The actual number of anti-islamic hate-crimes is probably smaller than 135.
duh_swami says
Considering Islam has such a pitiful reputation, I’m surprised there aren’t more ‘hate crimes against Islam than there are. No religion(?) is more deserving.

Bear in mind when Muslim men rape women, the rapists are seen as the victims.

You mean muslims are about as safe as your average asian, which are usually hard working peaceful people and not associated with murder? Most Americans aren’t hanging Muslims from a tree? Who would have known considering ALL I see is people so desperate they are to prove they don’t hate muslims to a sickening nauseating degree.
Arthur says
It must be frustrating for some people, full of hate, rage, and contempt, to be ignored by the vast majority of the population who are preoccupied with living their own lives. Where freedom of speech dominates, people seem to have learned to ignore and dismiss viewpoints they consider invalid. Being ignored is surely one of the most primitive forms of rebuke in society. The exercise of ignoring someone essentially proves the ignored person’s lack supremacy or authority over others. Ironically, in order to feel more important, some are more comfortable with the notion of being persecuted. This shows how hate and contempt are themselves empty emotions which only feel reward if the hated persons can be provoked into some kind of response. Contrast that to love and joy, which are so rewarding even when the subject of the emotions remains indifferent. It stands as a clear difference between the sociopathic and the socially healthy mindset.
Charles R.L. Power says
I’ve been checking these hate crime stats for years. Jews have always been the most likely victims of religiously based hate crimes, and are about three times as likely to be victimized as Muslims. The ratio was much higher before 2001 since anti-Muslim hate crimes were so rare. (Curiously, hate crimes against us unbelievers are barely existent.)
I’d kinda like to have a statistical base of religiously based hate crimes in dominantly Muslim countries, but they apparently have no agency comparable to the FBI interested in gathering such information….
Charles R.L. Power says
If you visit the FBI’s hate crimes page, you’ll find that the one story they use to exemplify hate crimes is naturally from a Muslim woman: “On October 2, 2006, one of my employees sent me a very, very hurtful letter at my office where she tended to say that…remember 9-11, you and your kids we’ll tie to the fence and you will die. So my first reaction was to call the Police Department of the city which I reside in, and they pretty much told me that if I wasn’t shot or dead, there’s not much they can do for me.” So she got a threatening letter from someone who worked for her, which, however despicable, could well have been motivated in large part by something other than religion. I’m tempted to think that the reason a more violent hate crime example wasn’t used is because they couldn’t find such a crime against a Muslim.
Richard James says
“No violence or hatred directed at an innocent Muslim…is ever justified.”
Robert, which innocent muslims might those be? The ones who don’t believe that Muhammad was the Last Messenger of Allah, whose instructions to hate, lie, deceive, extort, enslave, rape, behead, make unprovokesd war, whose example to molest children, rob, commit genocide are all to be followed and emulated?
By reciting the Shahada, by becoming, being or remaining muslim, all muslims are guilty of planning and conspiring to do these things and are deserving of all the expressions of loathing and hatred they receive.
There are NO innocent muslims.
To be a muslim is to be a hate-criminal, islam is a squirming bundle of hate-crimes.
You as a christian are welcome to love evildoers despite their evildoing. Many of us are not christian and will meet the evildoers with all the the contempt, disgust, and hatred they deserve.

Do you have some sort of evidence for what you’re hypothesizing? I’m asking this because, last time I checked, there is no quiz to assess one’s level of knowledge of islam when converting to islam. In fact, I remember seeing a video where Robert mentioned a ex-muslim he knew who left islam precisely because what he was told about islamic theology changed after he converted.

If Muslim leader would effectively say “Stop beheading school children” to their fellow Muslims this would help stop Islamophobia.
But, of course they can’t do that because the Taliban also have bloodbath Qur’ans.
