The Islamophobia Phobia of Islamoleftists By Lance Fairchok

In 2006, the FBI reported that hate crimes against Muslims numbered 156 or about one for every two million people, which is certainly unfortunate and tragic for the victims, but hardly an epidemic of hate against Muslims. After 9-11 and two ongoing and brutal wars against Islamic fanatics, Americans are remarkably tolerant, well-behaved and eminently multicultural. Yet, groups like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) want you to believe Muslims in America are afraid to leave their homes for fear of violence, and their allies on the far left want you to believe that an Islamophobic epidemic is sweeping the nation, equal to the violent Jewish persecution of Nazi Germany.

However, in perspective, hate crimes against Jews numbered about 967 and for Christians, 135, though with the terrible attacks on churches and Christians this last week that number goes up to 137. Not one Muslim has been murdered by anti-Muslim fanatics, Christian or Jewish. If you tally all the reported hate crimes against all other religions (not Islam); the grand total is 1299 or one in every 231,000 people. Most of those are against property. Americans seem to take freedom of religion seriously and despite ample fuel for the ignorant, the reactionary or the deranged, we let Muslims live their lives and prosper in peace.
