Worth a thousand words
Remember the FBI hate crimes report released a few weeks ago that exposed the continuing myth of the Muslim hate crime epidemic?
IBDeditorials.com put the data in a few handy charts today:
Send them to CAIR. With love.

Amazing! I am soo surprised. I am sure the MSM will pick this up and make it a lead story.
sarc off
It appears God’s chosen people are once again number one when it comes to hate crimes. I never could understand why so many people in the world hate Jews. They have contributed so much, but continue to be treated so poorly. I would like to hear what the members of the religion of perpetual outrage or their front group CAIR have to say about this. Oops there I go using facts and reason again.
on the flip side…any numbers on anti-semetic hate crimes?
feebs — there is no anti-Semitism, didn’t you know that? After all, the Jews have everything, and the Arabs have nothing…right???
(/sarc off)
Okay — should have ‘previewed’ — meant to say Muslims up there instead of ‘Arabs’
The chart doesnt show hate crimes against Bloggers, ie, spitting, trolls, etc.
Feebs,
The pie chart shows 967 anti-semitic hate crimes, almost twice as many as all other anti-religion hate crimes combined. Happy Chanukah!
AJ, come on. There is no such thing as a troll.
/sarc off
It is hunting on trolls.
huntin season…
Just thinking of them make me lose my twain of thought.
Interesting and telling graph, thanks MM.
The FBI should look at its own list. It acts as if protecting Muslims against “hate crimes” is its number one mission and that “hate crimes” towards Muslims is the number threat facing America. It seems awfully proud that it is so sensitive when hiring Muslims: http://www.fbijobs.gov/043.asp
and http://www.fbijobs.gov/048.asp
I’ll bet anything most of the “hate crimes” against Muslims are phony, invented crimes in order to cement their status as “victims” to help their jihad and that most of the “hate crimes” against Jews are from Muslims, just as they are in France.
You would think that what with controlling all the media, all the medicine, the government of the United States and all the world etc., that the Jews would at least be able to keep all those hate crimes against them down to a minimum. Seems that they need to control the Police Chiefs next.
All kidding aside,
I too have never understood why so many people hate Jewish people and have for so many millinia. Is it really just as simple as the jealousy of being called “God’s Chosen People”? Hitler, according to Mein Kampf, began his hatred of the Jews by simply looking at a dirty ol bum…sorry, I mean a “Residentially Challenged Urban Nomad” and making the random assumption that the person was Jewish and thus a lifelong hatred of Jews was born. Christians for the longest time based their hatred of Jews falsly on the mistaken fact that the Jews killed Christ forgetting that not only was Christ not Christian but Jewish, but also it was the romans and Pilate that ultimately made the decision and committed the crucifixtion and had that event not occurred, then the scriptures and prophesies would not have been fulfilled, Heaven’s Gates would have remained closed and our sins would have remained unforgiven, thus it was required and Christ knew as much and even begged for their forgiveness with his dying breath, (Father, fogive them..they know not what they do.) and apparently most still don’t.
So what? What is this universal hatred of the Jews? Where does this belief that they control everything come from? Just because they actually encourage their children, on a large basis, to go out and get an education to become doctors and lawyers and such? this is a bad thisng? i just don’t get it. Could someone explain it to me?
Retfireman funny “PC” description of a bum.
By the way, encouraging your kids to do their best and excel isn’t a big liberal trait, so that’s why it is attacked and discouraged. They might hurt the other kid’s feelings if they do too well. Waaaaaaaa
And that’s another thing…with so many Liberals in the Palestinian corner, completely against Israel being an independant nation…what the heck are so many Jews doing being Democrats?

Obviously this chart only covered the United States … because if you were to include all the Muslim on Muslim hate crimes you’d have to count all the terrorist attacks in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., and there would be many times more of that category than the total shown in the chart for everything else combined.
It’s interesting to compare these values against the U.S. populations of these religions. I found population estimates from 2000, and Jews make up 1.3% of US Pop, but are 66.1% of Hate Crimes. Muslims are 0.5% of Pop, but 10.7% of Crimes. Christians are 76.5% of Pop, but 9.2% of Hate Crimes. I wish there were figures on the religion of people committing the Hate Crimes.
Retfireman, that’s something I really don’t get either. I’d love for someone to explain that to me too.
If the FBI is tracking hate crimes, does that mean they’re tracking love crimes too?
In spite of the Muslims attempt to fabricate.
I can’t explain the hatred for Jews except to say that
someone somewhere along the line misinterpreted
the Bible and began teaching hatred in churches.
Sounds familiar doesn’t it?
Now, now. Everybody know those charts were produced by Jews so are slanted – right?
/super sarc off
That’s a question I’ve been asking for years. I can’t figure it out myself.
Probably for the same reasons so many Blacks are Dems instead of belonging to the party of Lincoln.
I stand by my personal belief that all hate crime legislation is … criminal by its very nature. If someone commits a crime, they are a detriment to society and should face punishment. The punishment should fit the crime however but not based on perceived thoughts or notions on the part of the criminal. Their actions speak volumes about their ability to integrate in society and play by the rules or not. If they are a danger to society, incarceration is available albeit costly. I do not care what someone’s “motivation” is or “feelings” are when they break into my home. My position is to defend myself and my family from their actions no matter what their cause du jour is. We need to enforce the laws we have and get away from this hate crime crap. A lie is a lie no matter how it is told. A crime is a crime no matter how (or why) it is perpetrated. Enough of the thought police already and let’s enforce the laws we have.
As many of y’all have alluded to (and as Scripture says), they are God’s chosen people — not because they’re anything great and special, but because He’s determined to show the world that He can do a whole lot with relatively nothing.
If God is for something, you can bet that God’s adversary is firmly opposed to it and will stop at nothing to try to derail God’s purposes.
Ever heard of first degree and second degree murder and manslaughter? The main difference between them is intent, i.e. the thoughts or notions on the part of the criminal.
And of course, then there’s justifiable homicide, once again reflecting the thoughts and intent of the killer.
On the other hand, I agree that categorizing crimes as “hate crimes” is wrong, because such laws are intended and used mainly to discriminate against WASP males, hence in effect criminalizing ethnicity and gender.
#25 least: I was thinking a similar thought to yours. Have any people had such a long history of success and persecution as the Jews? I’m not Jewish but it seems as if they are being pulled back and forth in some sort of cosmic tug-a-war between God and Satan.
If you were a sworn enemy of God, would you not attempt to bring about a Holocaust to destroy the People of the Covenant? And wouldn’t you make your greatest effort to do so right before they are about to fulfill prophesy and reestablish Israel in their land of promise? If the Bible is a fable and there is no God, why has there been such a persistent, longstanding hatred against the Jewish people? Just random chance?
Actually, I think the chart omitted at least one “Muslim Hate Crime.” That of CAIR’s assault on Michael Savage.
Yeah, a couple of thousand years ago. The Jews have been ostracized since the establishment of Christianity because the Jewish mob called for the crucifixion of Christ and the release of the thief Barabas. Doesn’t matter that it was preordained, they were (in theory, anyway) exercising free will, and therefore were culpable. As a result, they became literally a people without a country for many centuries, being scattered throughout the civilized/semi-civilized world (although many remained in and around the Middle East). The traditional Jewish lands remained under foreign rule, first under the Romans and later the Arabs and finally the British until the re-establishment of Israel after WWII. The perception that they were/are “in charge of everything” (from RetFireman) reflects the fact that they have been perenially associated with skill in handling financial matters, and in the accumulation of wealth and power, which naturally caused widespread resentment among those lacking such skills. The perception endures, with good reason, as does the resentment, although not quite as virulently (outside the Muslim world) as before the Holocaust.
One of the things that bothers me about hate crime legislation is that it requires Lady Justice to remove her blindfold and become a respecter of persons. Since we cannot read minds, I believe the amount of “hate” involved can best be judged by the nature of the crime, not by any external characteristics of the perp or the victim. Why should a racist, sexist or an anti-Semite criminal be punished more severely than someone who just hates all of humanity and picks his victims at random?
To me, any intentionally violent crime is by definition a hate crime and should be punished by the degree of violence and cruelty involved. The greater the cruelty, the greater the punishment, regardless of what triggered the hatred. I’ll agree with current hate crime legislation when someone can give me an example of a premeditated crime of violence that is not a hate crime.
I get in a bar fight, I hit the guys nose and drive the cartilage into his brain. Manslaughter. An unintentional act.
I grab a gun and shoot him, 2nd degree murder. Heat of the moment, temp insanity perhaps nowadays. May be that I am just an ornery drunk.
I go home, unlock my gun safe, remove the trigger locks, go buy ammunition (Since being a responsible citizen I would not want my gun to endanger anyone of its own free will) and return to the bar and shoot him, 1st degree murder.
All of these are defined by actions and circumstances which can be independently verified and corroborated.
“He brought a knife to a gunfight!(My home)” IMHO Justifiable homicide and possible inclusion for the Darwin Awards.
Quantifiable actions are not based on perception of my thoughts.
Could not agree more!
Mind you, I grew up in West Virginia where “He needed kill’t” was actually a viable legal defense back in the day.
Wartip, there are conservitives in West Virginia, If your still there get out before they dump you in #1 holler or is that Robert Bird holler now? Hope no Muslim revenuers show up. LOL
135 total hate crimes against Christians to 156 that’s a difference of 21. Ok who’s volunteering we need 21 more Christian’s to be victim’s of hate crime. Nix the volunteer’s there are thousand’s of hate crimes against Christian’s everyday worldwide. Jew’s and Christian’s have to hide to worship if they are in a Muslim country. Pretty sad state of the world when you have to hide to worship. Thank God we live in the U.S.
Tom Lehrer wrote this back in the 60′s. This sort of behavior will be with us always.
Partner, I do not know if that was a typo or what but I am faaaaaaaaaar to the right of simply conservative. I believe the Constitution and the Bible were both written the way they were for a reason. All we have to do is go back to the original language and EVERYTHING is spelled out in both of them.
As for Robert Byrd and Muslim (Or any other revenuers? I would have to set my sights on the Byrd first. I imagine most of the people I grew up with would be in the same ilk.
Just for the record … this racist conservative speaks four languages (Five if you include Hillbilly) lived in Mexico for three years and currently lives in the Philippines with a very beautiful wife who shares my conservative and Christian beliefs.
Mind you, I would set my sights just as straight were any conservatives to come after me or my family as well. I would only hope that if it ever came to that, they would be doing it for the right reasons and not backing up some socialist wannabe dhimmicrap …… I mean democrat.
Then again, if the conservatives were coming after me for the right reasons, I suppose I would have to go peacefully, but highly doubtful in today’s political climate.
Would be nice to see pre-2001 numbers as well, to see if we’re back to normal after 9/11 backlash.
Are those numbers available?
And how about pre-2001 numbers (kind of a hate baseline)?
I was going to say something along the lines of Mark (#36) and least (#37).
This is no different from the global warming religion, using a relative low spot in global temperatures as a starting point for themany of the figures they base their warming claims on.
Of COURSE it’s dropped since 2001. In 2001 there would have been a huge spike due to 9/11.
All we can truthfully derive from that graph, is that it the number has stayed stable since recently, instead of rising rapidly as CAIR would have us believe.
This is how old Byrd is, My Grandfather who has been deceased for 40 years, told a story about how he and my Father went out and saw Byrd standing on a tree stump, playing a guitar and singing during his election run for ? office. My Grandfather commented to my Father as he watched “Ya know I could blow on a horse hair stretched across a pig’s a$$ and play better music than that. Needless to say he did’nt vote for him or any other Dim in his lifetime.
LMAO, Hillbilly is definatley foriegn language so five it is.
Glad to hear it, I thought I was going to have to drive from Missery (Missouri) to rescue you.
Well, given how many innocent people muslims slaughtered world wide in 2006; given the Danish cartoon riots; given their riots against Pope; given, well, here, MM has a post about it and called 2006 the “year of perpetual outrage” due to all the muslim riots around the world.
http://michellemalkin.com/2006/12/20/2006-the-year-of-perpetual-outrage/
The only surprising thing is that there are not a whole lot more hate crimes against muslims. The fact that we are not out in the streets protesting them at every turn and don’t have news about random acts of violence against their communities nightly despite their continuous violent and petty provocations, shows what a restrained and truly great country America really is.
I have said it before, I’ll say it again, and I’ll keep saying it until it is shouted from the mountain tops: the root cause of islamaphobia is islamic behavior.
the reason that anti-semitism lives, is that they are a sign to the world that God exists and that He blesses. when you have evil, they want to blot out the truth that yes God does exist and yes He blesses.
ROFLMAO.. that is too funny..
In Texas, WarTip, its ” Wayell, Jedge, he jest needed
killin’.”
I don’t like the term Hate Crimes because it makes it
seem as if it is somehow worse to hurt one group in
society as opposed to another. If you kill a person,
how is it worse that he’s an homosexual, or black than
that he is white or Asian?
I am very bothered by this thinking for several reasons:
1). Jesus said Himself that no one would take His life from Him, but that He would give it up freely. The whole reason that He came was to be a sacrifice for our sins. His death wasn’t a mistake, it was the culmination of God’s plan for our ultimate redemption. It was made necessary by me, personally, by you personally, and by everyone who has ever sinned, personally. I cannot fathom blaming a group of people for that which I myself caused and from which I benefit.
2). Acts 2:23 tells us that God Himself handed Jesus over to a group of Jewish people who handed him over to a group of Roman people who put Him to death. As a parallel, think of the story of Joseph being sold into slavery: his brothers (the Jewish patriarchs) gave him to Ishmaelites, who in turn sold Joseph into slavery in Egypt. But as Joseph himself made clear, God was the one who allowed it to happen, “in order that many lives would be saved.” (Gen. 50:20).
3). The “Jewish mob” that you seem to say brought punishment upon the whole Jewish people was likely not very large, considering that it was very early in the morning, still dark. In addition, I don’t believe that they had the ability to bring all the guilt on themselves (let alone on all Jewish people) by the “curse” they uttered anymore than Pontius Pilate had the ability to absolve himself of all guilt by merely washing his hands and saying so.
4). Don’t dare discount that the horrors that the gentile followers of Jesus visited on the Jewish people the past 2000 years played a large part in their continued rejection of Jesus. To do so is like shoving them in the mud and then chastising them for being dirty. The “Christkiller” charge is one of the most insidious things that the church has allowed herself to be poisoned with and it has to be ripped up, root and all.
Lastly, in regards to your comment about Jewish involvement in financial matters: the Jewish people were forced by both Christians and Muslims into the role of banker and money-lender, as charging interest was considered wrong by both groups. Jews were also frequently prevented from various trades, both by law and by practicality; farming isn’t exactly a safe livelihood when you can be chased from your home and have your land and possessions seized at the whim of the Christian rulers around you. Money/jewels are much easier to flee with.
Excellent, Tikvah.
Someone’s got a new /sarcasm tag…oh how cute.
Oh and Blind_Mule…it’s not kosher to make fun of the way people talk while failing to spell correctly. All in the same sentence. (Especially because the comments “definatley” have spell check)
I’d like to see just what the FBI classifies as a “hate crime”. If I were a betting man, my money would back the pony that said the Muslim statistics are somewhat fudged to increase the numbers.
The government is more than overly sensitive when it comes to appearing to bend over (and not backwards) to appease Muslims. I mean, just look at the recent debacle at Annapolis – the Jewish delegates were not permitted to even use the same entrance as their Muslim counterparts. And the ridiculous BS with the FBI/CIA agent and her Marine Officer sister.
I am certain that murder is included in those staticstics. I am also certain that Jews have been murdered in this country by others. How many Muslim murders are in that data? Attempted murders? Felonious assaults? Other violent crimes? My guess is zero. My guess is based on the fact that if anything like that did occur, CAIR and the MSM would have made it page one news.
I’d like to see a breakdown of violent hate crimes, versus property hate crimes and other categories such as name calling or the like.
