Hate crimes against Muslims vs others

Submitted by stanley b (United States), May 21, 2012 at 22:23

The preponderance of hate crimes against everyone but Muslims is easily verified. In fact, Muslims experience less hate crimes than gays, blacks and Jews and yet they continue to fan the flames and try to make something out of nothing. It is not illegal to have bad thoughts or opinions about something or to disagree. There has been ridiculously little violence against Muslims, given the acts of Jihadis around the world. It should be proportionally much bigger numbers than what it actually is, and we should be proud of our civility, restraint and humanity. We do Not tar everyone with the same brush and we do not run around in the streets burning flags and effigies and screaming death threats. We do not.
