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.

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.

We are not at war with peoples' religious beliefs ... You have no choice. The people with those religious beliefs are at war with you. You may not believe it yet, but you will, when they are pushing you back in line.

In America - which is the scope of this report- it is usually drunken teens spray painting.

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?

That's some scary stuff, and I actually remember Ibrahim Hooper's quote from an interview with Hannity and Colmes.

What is that supposed to indicate to your fevered imagination? I see a pretty accurate depiction of the war in that NY street mural (besides that he drew Bush with a goatee).

Yes. And that's just their public face.
They are terror front organizations with mosques as their base of operations.

I don't know, I'm still looking. But the drunken teenagers are very angry at my ancestors, that much is clear.

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.
