The media has put out numerous pieces based on bad data and hate crime hoaxes claiming that President Trump was responsible for a rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes. Now the FBI data is out and it actually shows that anti-Muslim hate crimes under Trump are below Obama levels in 2014.
Does that mean that Obama was actually responsible for anti-Muslim hate crimes while Trump is a beacon of tolerance? If the media were logically consistent, instead of narratively consistent, then sure. But since the media is narratively consistent, that’s not the conclusion it will draw.
By the numbers: Of 4,571 reported attacks the bureau tracked, aggravated assaults were up 4%, simple assaults up 15% and intimidation up 13%. The report also shows that assaults targeting Muslims, Arab Americans and African Americans have gone down, while violence against Latinos has risen.
The report says 485 hate crimes were reported against Latinos in 2018, compared to 43 in 2017.
270 hate crimes were reported against Muslims and Arab Americans — the lowest since 2014.
1,943 hate crimes were reported against African Americans — the lowest since 1992.
Guess which one of those numbers the media will play up and blame on President Trump?
Hint: It’s the negative one of the three.

Look at the whole picture. Latinos are being hated because they came here illegally and do whatever they want, because we don’t want to look like racists, but all in all Mexicans are white also, so the narrative of white supremacy does not fit. Muslims are always getting away scot free as in absolutly no investigations against Muslims, no criticism, no accusations of any kind… We don’t want to be called Islamophobic which means afraid of Muslims which CAIR made up to further Islam all over the world. Yeas we are afraid of Islam coming here to rebuild the Ottoman Empire all over again, that was the mistake made when Muslims were defeated and ran back to the sand pits. Then as dumb as the West is they went over to drill for oil and rebuilt the Ottoman Agenda again, and they are getting stronger again. We are under attack and the West is afraid of being called names? What is wrong with America’s value if we give that value away for money. Money is fake and we do everything to get it, even murder. War is deceit say’s the Allah. We are being deceived with lies and embarrassment by the Muslims another line of theirs is to deceive all the Infidels with false words that are not what they actually believe. Islam is not compatable in any way shape or form of a freedom loving people. Islam is Deceive, conquer, rape and pillage, convert, kill, take what does not belong to them, take over masses of property and make those lands into slums as the lived in their own lands 1600 years ago.
“How many people know that Thomas Jefferson read the Quran?,” he [Yahya Hendi] asked.
No one knows if Jefferson read the Qur’an he bought, as he bought thousands of other books, because he was a curious and learned man. Muslims have made much of his owning a Qur’an, suggesting slyly that he must have read the book and admired it. But the evidence is strong that he did not read it, for he habitually left notes on all his reading, and there is nothing he wrote about the Qur’an. Instead, there is evidence that in his dealings with the North African Muslims, he was horrified by their attitude toward non-Muslims. When he and John Adams were negotiating with the envoy from Tripoli, that envoy informed them that “it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their [Muslims’] authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.” That was enough for Jefferson, and when he became President, he was determined to go to war against the North African Muslims – the Barbary Pirates — in order to suppress their attacks on Christian shipping. He had no admiration for the Muslims; he understood them to be an enemy of the Christians, as the Tripoli envoy said,and in making war on the Barbary Pirates, Jefferson acted on that understanding.
They are now continuing their conquest to take over the world. The Quran is a book of Conquest and subjugation. All people who refuse to take Allah and his henchman Muhammad the self proclaimed prophet to a god that was a created entity of man as the Supreme race, will be taken slaves as we are being slowly taken now, but it is being politically corrected to mean tolerance and peaceful. LIES ALL LIES.

The question is: Who decides what crimes are caused by “hate” of any particular race, ethnicity or religion?
If a person harasses another to the point the person being tormented strikes back, the striker may “hate” the other person. However, it both are White guys, it won’t be called a “hate” crime.
If a person torments another and they are of different races, ethnicity or religion, and the victim strikes back at his tormentor, it will most assuredly be labeled a “hate” crime.
A person who attacks another may do so due to hatred of that person’s characteristics, or he may do so simply because he wishes to attack someone…to rob, molest, take out frustration, etc.
I’m not at all sure that all of these crimes listed above are caused by “hatred” of the victim. And since moslims lie like cheap rugs, and have been known to fake crimes against themselves, the real attacks are probably much lower in number.
And other groups have lairs mingled in, so it’s all in question as to how many are actually “hatted of the victim’ crimes.
But, whatever the media can throw against those they “hate,”…it’s most likely political in nature.

Ah, yet another RealFact that’s inconvenient for The Narrative, and thus will be memory-holed pronto. We all know by now (or should) that progressives hate RealFacts, their preferences is for GoodFacts. And the GoodFact that’s pertinent in this instance is #OrangeManBad.

Grimly true, Barguest.

And this includes fake hate crimes…

First of all, the term “hate crime” is a liberal invention. All crimes are committed out of hate. To say otherwise is nothing but a form of mental illness.
