A national Muslim advocacy organization yesterday blamed a "negative and politically charged" environment on the Internet and talk radio for the 30 percent jump in anti-Muslim incidents reported to the group last year.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations received 1,972 complaints of harassment, violence and discriminatory treatment in 2005, up from 1,522 in 2004, according to an annual report released yesterday.

Any word of protest about the damage being done to Islam via the behavoir of those who profess they are following the teachings of Islam? None? Have any of the so-called "anti-Muslim" incidents included the shooting in the back of a muslim cleric? No? Are there any mosques in flames?. . Hmmmmmm. ..

Perhaps they should start to get the hint that their welcome is wearing thin.

No worries. Their elected officials here in the socialist-communist democratic party here in America will create more and more hate, mean, ruffled feathers laws to protect their beloved Islumic murders.

These numbers for CAIR have been proven to be made up nonsense, time and time again. And yet they keep shoveling them out to credulous reporters, who can't be bothered to check.

Well, any time I see a woman in a hijab I roll my eyes and think 'what an idiot'! When I'm behind the car with vanity license plate SHARIA (I have actually seen this vehicle) I may be inclined to tailgate a little bit. According to CAIR those are 'incidents'. And since this report comes from CAIR, it has all the validity of a three-dollar bill!

I personally think, muslims have a different "truth" than Christians and Jews.

If some Muslime tries to take out the Pope or if another attack happens on US soil, expect that number to jump to 200%

Aggressive ideologies such as Communism, Nazism and now, radical Islam have frequently employed the tactic of claiming to be "victims", while fomenting violence against those they accuse. Communists targeted the "bourgeosie", and Nazis blamed the Jews. Radical Muslims now blame everyone who is not a radical Muslim and issue threats and demands all the while. History repeats.

I am amazed at American restraint shown so far.

Sawing heads off tends to have this effect.

"...blamed a "negative and politically charged" environment on the Internet and talk radio for the 30 percent jump in anti-Muslim incidents reported to the group last year. "
First, I agree with you. No mention of the evil done in the name of islam as being part of the problem. The problem is the infidels, according to this group and CAIR, and any other muslim you care to ask.
Second, who can believe them? muslims lie and then lie about lying. It's in their book that it's ok to lie to infidels. So, are incidents against muslims up? I don't know, but I do know I don't believe this bunch of pond scum.
And finally, I'm not a big fan of vigilantes. I understand the problems that come from that. But, in this PC world, maybe that's just what it's going to take? Let these death cult members know that we aren't all signed up for dhimmitude.
