Putting Hate Crimes in Perspective


Data Source: FBI

The Big Media would have you believe that there is an epidemic of anti-Muslim incidents, but NewsBusters puts things in perspective:

In 2008, 105 hate crime incidents against Muslims were reported nationwide. There were 10 times as many incidents that were recorded as anti-Jewish during the same year, the most recent for which figures are available.

So, in 2008, the last year such statistics were available, there were 2,876 hate crimes against blacks, 1,297 against gays, and 1,055 against Jews.

As a conservative, I don't feel comfortable with punishing people for the thoughts of their mind, no matter how repulsive.
