Wow a whole 260 so called hate crimes a year.Hate crimes against American Muslims have soared to their highest levels since the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to data compiled by researchers, an increase apparently fueled by terrorist attacks in the United States and abroad and by divisive language on the campaign trail.
The trend has alarmed hate crime scholars and law-enforcement officials, who have documented hundreds of attacks — including arsons at mosques, assaults, shootings and threats of violence — since the beginning of 2015.
While the most current hate crime statistics from the FBI are not expected until November, new data from researchers atCalifornia State University found that hate crimes against American Muslims were up 78 percent over the course of 2015. Attacks on those perceived as Arab rose even more sharply.
Police and media reports in recent months have indicated a continued flow of attacks, often against victims wearing traditional Muslim garb or seen as Middle Eastern.
Gee thanks, Mr. Trump. Thanks for a glimpse into what an American future would look like in your reich.
Anti-Muslim attacks up 78%
I guess we should try to see what the requirements are that a crime is a "hate" crime
I have the feeling any crime where muslims are the victim will be labeled a "hate" crime
FYI spraying graffiti on a mosque is not a "hate crime" it's vandalism
Meanwhile in Chicago......
How does crime in Chicago justify the persecution of innocent Muslim Americans?
Well let's look at the numbers
Iraq 2015: A Catastrophic Normal :: Iraq Body Count
We can't compare a city to a country, so let's compare cities in Iraq to Chicago.
In Baghdad, there were 3,426 killed in 2015 but in Diyala there were only 1,315 killed.
In Chicago, there were 468 homicides. However, there were 2,900 shot.
Chicago Shootings and Murders Surged in 2015
That means gang bangers are either worse shots or the US has better medical care
You be the judge.
I would dare say that there are much more dangerous places in Chicago than in Iraq. That is a no brainer.
Just so long as you stay in the rich fat cat sections of Chicago where Barak Obama and company used to live you will be just fine.
