CAIR Slapped Down Again - FBI "Hate Crime" Data Proves Islamophobia Almost Entirely Nonexistent By WILLIAM MAYER and BEILA RABINOWITZ October 27, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - The FBI has just today released its annual statistical audit of "hate crimes," covering the 2007 calendar year. The category of hate crime is a relative newcomer to a database which heretofore concentrated on hard data relating to the incidence of unambiguous lawbreaking activity, crimes such as murder, theft and rape. This study is part of the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program [UCR], a nationwide cooperative survey that encompasses 17,000 American cities and has been in effect since 1930, though not in this specific format. "Hate crimes," were added to this index as a category, per legislation passed by Congress in 1990 and many professional grievance mongers look forward to the yearly release of these statistics because they are used as fodder to argue the wholsesale existence of racism in America. Anyone familiar with the MO of the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR, a Hamas friendly jihadi mouthpiece and unindicted co-conspirator in the ongoing Hamas terror funding prosecution U.S. vs Holy Land Foundation] knows that one of their tactics is to allege that American Muslims are under daily attack, a siege motivated by Islamophobia, forcing them into the fearful world of second-class citizenship. These writers have extensively covered the myth of wanton Islamophobia, explaining the purpose behind such claims. For example:
And:
CAIR uses its 35 offices [many of which are simply mail-drops] as a network devoted to creating the myth of anti-Muslim hate and violence. CAIR's legal team [the group is funded by Saudi Wahhabist extremists] is continually soliciting examples, most of which are fraudulently represented, in furtherance of this phony claim. With this as background let's take a look at the 2007 figures as reported by the feds: The total number of "hate crimes" committed in 2007 was 7,624. Of that number the following statistics were compiled on crimes whose origin was determined to be based on religious bigotry:
Religion: 1,400 total As noted above, CAIR alleged in 2006 that nearly 2,000 Islamophobic incidents took place, yet a year later, with a bigger population base the FBI only could find 115 incidents in an unbiased, controlled study. That this miniscule number of cases took place in a nation of 300 million is, rather than serving as a damning testament to intolerance, actual proof of an overwhelming degree of racial and religious harmony. As perhaps the lead American Islamist organization, CAIR was created to serve as Hamas' American public relations wing, with a goal of Islamizing the country and forcing recognition of Shari'a; all of its tactics flow from that mission statement. The FBI, by debunking CAIR's chief claim, that Islamophobia is rampant and expanding, has inadvertantly gone a long way in exposing the group's core assertion as mendacious, undermining whatever shard of credibility the organization still has. http://www.pipelinenews.org/index.cfm?page=cairid=10.27.08%2Ehtm |
