Anti-Jewish attacks 70% of hate crimes, anti-Muslim attacks 9% of hate crimes -- Senate to hold hearings on "anti-Muslim bigotry"

Watch for this to be an orgy of Muslim claims of victim hood and demonization of freedom fighters trying to defend Constitutional freedoms against Islamic supremacy. "Senate to hold hearings on Muslims' rights," by Stephen Dinan for the Washington Times, March 22 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Just weeks after House Republicans held a hearing looking at the dangers of radical Muslims in the U.S., Senate Democrats are countering with a hearing of their own, scheduled for after Congress returns from a 10-day vacation, to examine Muslims' civil rights.

Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, announced the subcommittee hearing Tuesday, saying there has been a spike in anti-Muslim bigotry in the last year that demands closer attention.

“Our Constitution protects the free exercise of religion for all Americans,” Mr. Durbin said. “During the course of our history, many religions have faced intolerance. It is important for our generation to renew our founding charter’s commitment to religious diversity and to protect the liberties guaranteed by our Bill of Rights.”...

In 2009, the latest FBi statistics available, anti-Islamic hate crimes accounted for 9.3 percent of the 1,376 religiously motivated hate crimes recorded. That's far less than the 70.1 percent that were anti-Jewish.

62.4 percent of the offenders were white. So should we hold hearings to talk about the dangers of white people?

"62.4 percent of the offenders were white."

I would have guessed 92.4 percent.

Oh.. and let's not get into a false equivalency about hate crimes. Painting the side of a building is not the same as shooting someone or beating the crap out of someone.

And don't forget the reporting percentage fractions. Why is it that muslim women almost never seem to get raped?? (according to the statistics, that it)

When you have a minority community that suspects that the police are the ones ready to commit hate crimes, what do you think the reporting ratio is going to be?

And finally there's the denominator. There are a lot more synagogues than there are mosques in the US.
What's a kid with a can of spray paint going to do?

"...demonization of freedom fighters..."

And anyone willing to fight against the 1st amendment is NOT fighting for freedom...

Perhaps you use the term to refer to the people fighting against freedom? Yes.. That must be it.
