IBD: CAIR Hyping Hate Against Muslims
I found this story via Little Green Footballs. Investor’s Business Daily has written a great editorial that looks at how much CAIR (the NAACP for Muslims) is hyping hate crimes and discrimination against Muslims.
Among other things the article highlights some very interesting stats from a new FBI study. CAIR is constantly throwing a fit about hate crimes against Muslims in the USA, but the evidence just doesn’t show it.
In 2006, a whopping 66% of religiously motivated attacks were on Jews, while just 11% targeted Muslims, even though the Jewish and Muslim populations are similar in size. Catholics and Protestants, who together account for 9% of victims, are subject to almost as much abuse as Muslims in this country.
Last year’s anti-Islamic hate crimes totaled 156. While just one hate crime is one too many, that’s a 68% drop from 2001.
The FBI report gives lie to CAIR’s alarmist narrative of “Islamophobic” lynch mobs marching on mosques across America. In reality, Americans have been remarkably, and admirably, tolerant and respectful of Muslims and their institutions since 9/11.
By crying wolf, CAIR shows it cares more about furthering its own political agenda than protecting ordinary Muslims. When real abuses occur, few Americans may pay attention. So CAIR is actually doing the Muslim community it claims to represent a disservice by hyping hate crimes.
While the figures that CAIR like release may be false, but the organization’s continued support for terrorist groups is very real. I can’t believe Bush didn’t shut these people down a long time ago. The worst thing anyone can do is bow down to these Islamic thugs. The ACLU is bad enough, we don’t an Islamic version.
If the Council on American-Islamic Relations really cared about “American-Islamic Relations” it would focus it’s attention stopping Islamic militants from murdering Americans all over the world.
Stop killing us and our “relations” will just fine.
