FBI: Hate Crimes Against Jews Outstrip Crimes Against Muslims 9-to-1

The FBI reported that there were 931 hate crimes committed against Jews in 2002, while 155 were committed against Muslims. Anti-Jewish incidents decreased only slightly from 2001, but anti-Muslim incidents fell sharply from 481. The good news is that the overall count of hate crimes decreased about 25 percent from 2001 to 2002. The bad news is that hate crimes against Jews held almost steady.
This is further evidence that anti-Semitism, especially in the context of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, has become a widespread phenomenon, especially in Europe, the Arab world, and on American college campuses. One only need to note the vicious bombing of two synagogues in Istanbul today, which killed 23 and wounded 303. Fourteen Muslims were killed also.
Anti-Semitism on college campuses is perhaps a most disturbing trend. Universities are supposed to be places of higher learning, tolerance, and open-mindedness. When it comes to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, they are not. Just look at the history of the so-called Palestine Solidarity Movement on campuses. Things had gotten so bad in 2002 that Harvard president Lawrence Summers publicly condemned as anti-Semitic various pro-Palestinian groups' attempts to get universities to divest from Israel.
Despite documentation showing these pro-Palestinian groups' anti-Semitic activities, universities continue to permit such organizations to meet on campus. But some are fighting back, and doing it effectively. Organizations like Campus Watch, the Anti-Defamation League, FrontPage Magazine, and my own organization, netwmd.com, LLC, have been turning the spotlight on these anti-Semitic activities.
But anti-Semitism will not die until people of good conscience actively oppose it. I encourage readers to click on the links shown in this article, get informed, and get involved.

You may find this interesting. While groups like CAIR and the AMC run around screaming "discrimination," the numbers just don't add up. Incidentally, half the directors of CAIR and the AMC are in jail or under indictment for terrorism charges.

Anti-Semitism on college campuses is perhaps a most disturbing trend. Yep, it's an in vogue, politically acceptable stance. But often it dresses itself up in anti-Zionism.

for the innumerate:
931 to 155 is actually a 6 to 1 ratio ... which is a signifcant enough number in itself that you don't have to inflate it

Yes, Lenin's "useful idiots" strike again. These schleps don't even know what "Zionism" means (simply that Jews need a homeland). They think that if dictatorships like Syria, Lybia, and Iran say, "Zionism = racism," then it must be true.

Even at 6:1 which is more mathematically correct, this is an interesting ratio. It seems that Americans are showing a significant amount of restraint (which we should encourage as much as we possibly can). We should systematically bring this figure to zero attacks on muslims, but the difference already speaks volumes.
Look at the stark contrast in Germany in the 1930s. While America is now accused of being "fascist," attacks on Jews, whose only crime was to be Jewish, were rampant in Germany. In America, we face a minority population led by CAIR and AIM that refuses to credibly denounce terrorism against Americans. We face a minority population whose religion has been associated with countless acts of violence are committed against Judeo-Christians world-wide. We face a minority population who is itself confused about its future and finds conflicting loyalties in an increasaingly global war between its religion's extremists and modernity.
And yet we accept these people on the basis of their individual humanity, and even protect them as they live among us. Because we are Americans, and we abhor race and religious hatreds. Let this ratio stand in stark contrast to intolerance shown to Jews and Americans in Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, Nigeria, and Kosovo.
This is America. This is not Nazi Germany. This will never be a political hate machine that systematically identifies a minority as an arch enemy. Bringing to zero the number of hate crimes against muslims will speak out even more strongly the brilliant truth that is America: this is a beacon of freedom to the world. We are not at war with peoples' religious beliefs. We are at war against intolerance, and it will not be accepted here, or in the mideast. Note: I'm not advocating that we encourage additional Islamic immigration, not on the basis of what we're seeing in Europe. But that's a different issue.

CAIR cites a Muslim woman "receiving a dirty look" as evidence of a Hate Crime.
It's especially hilarious to see Wahhabists complaining about Repression in the USA.

You have no choice. I may have personal views that differ from what President Bush states, but I will support his public policy. We shouldn't seek to make enemies since we have enough as it is.
In any case, I'm going to claim that anti-American Americans (non-immigrants) are our worst enemies. We should be thinking ahead now: what are we going to do to prevent another domestic war support crisis like what happened in Vietnam? What are we going to do about the hate America press? What are we going to do about the hate America academic tradition? How will we stop our own congressmen from dismantling the second amendment, or from revoking the Electoral College?
The real war is one of ideas. Are we winning?

By the way that swastika is a legit native American symbol as old as time itself (and found all over the world). So I hope you don't think it is an ode to the Nazis in that particular picture.

Indeed, I've never seen so much hatred against Jews as I have in the past year or so. What happened? Because Bush is taking a hard stance against the Middle East, and "the enemy of my friend is my enemy"?

The headline says 9 to 1. The article states "931 hate crimes committed against Jews in 2002, while 155 against Muslims" 931/155.is a 6 to 1 ratio almost ecactly.

This report should be forwarded to CAIR and the AMC. That's like telling Albert Speer in 1934 that good Jews loved the German nation that hosted them, and would have done anything they could to support its vitality if it hadn't turned on them instead.
CAIR and AMC are vectors of our impending downfall, defiling our committment to free speech and democracy. They would spit on these numbers and twist them around to show that Jews were behind attacks on themselves or some other such vile lie.
Pipes on CAIR and AMC:
- CAIR: 'Moderate' friends of terror
- Faces of American Islam -- "...American Muslim Council, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and the Muslim Public Affairs Committee... all three organizations are Islamist and so seek to forward goals deeply at variance with mainstream American principles"
- Senator Robert Torricelli and the AMC -- "The problem is that the American Muslim Council is not a legitimate group."

I forgot the sarcasm tag on that post. Talking to CAIR or the AMC is a waste of time. I'm hopeful that the FBI is working diligently to shut them down.
