Each year in Germany, it seems, some poor Turkish family gets their house/apartment bombed by intolerant people; I guess the Turks served their purpose in helping Germany rebuild, but after that, many young Germans would rather have the ?Ausländers? out.
USA: Anti-Muslim bias crimes rose 1700 percent after September 11
There have been press reports of more than fifteen arsons and attempted arsons that may be part of the post-September 11 backlash. Local law enforcement agents believe that fires at six houses of worship were September 11-related hate crimes. The other press-documented cases of arson involved places of business owned or operated by Muslims, Arabs, or those perceived to be Muslim or Arab. There have been three convictions and one indictment thus far for September 11-related arsons.
On September 15, 2001, James Herrick set fire to the Curry in a Hurry restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah, causing minimal damage. Herrick admitted to setting the fire because he was angry over the September 11 attacks and knew the restaurant owners were from Pakistan. A federal district court in Utah sentenced him on January 7, 2001 to fifty-one months in jail
full report is here
cheers
:beer:
"The federal government reported a seventeen-fold increase in
anti-Muslim hate crimes, from twenty-eight in 2000 to 481 in 2001."
Seems like it was pretty damn good in 2000. I guess it takes something 'catastrophic' to get people to become even crazier.
Your post was very misleading since you didn't even post the exact numbers. A 1700% increase seems like an epidemic, until you see that it's a 1700% increase from only 28!
maybe a typo???
anti-islam crimes in california 2001 -- 73 cases
The first report was issued on October 11, 2001 once it was clear that a widespread backlash, numbering ten incidents per day, was occurring in California; the second was issued on December 11, 2001, after the backlash had significantly decreased to one incident per day.
I suck at math but - 1 incident a day (I'm conservative) equals several hundred a year in California ALONE
section: federal hate crime statistics
from the same section
Nevertheless, the study found that many of those jurisdictions had hate crimes that were not reported to the FBI. 251 This "false-zero" reporting to the FBI is so severe that the study estimated six thousand hate crimes, almost 75 percent again as much as the total number of hate crimes reported nationwide each year to the FBI, are not included in reports to the FBI
all figures are from the justice dep from their hate crime reports
I'm really not in the mood to have another discussion with you, after all I'm a racist European pig and whatever I post is crap
read the federal hate crime section on the hrw site and do some research on the justice dept site
It's good that you're finally admitting it though. Hopefully you can be rehabilitated.
