No hate crimes are ever justified. The “Islamophobia” industry, however, wildly exaggerates the threat to Muslims and falsely portrays them as subject to widespread discrimination and harassment in the US, in its indefatigable pursuit of protected victim status.
“Anti-Semitic hate crimes in LA increased by 60 percent,” JNS, January 24, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
(January 24, 2020 / JNS) Reported anti-Semitic hate crimes in Los Angeles increased by a little more than 60 percent between 2018 and 2019—the highest total for hate crimes on the basis of religion, according to data released on Wednesday by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Of the reported 81 total hate crimes that targeted religious groups in 2019, 69 of them were anti-Jewish, compared to 43 of the 52 total hate crimes in that category the previous year as anti-Semitic—or a 60.5 percent increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes.
There are more than 500,000 Jews in Los Angeles, according to Brandeis’s Steinhardt Social Research Institute.
There were five reported hate crimes that targeted Muslims in 2019, compared to just two the previous year, followed by four hate crimes targeting other religions not listed….
The unexpected voice says
the lies called ‘Multiculuralism’ and ‘Diversity’ need to be stopped.
abad says
All crimes are committed out of hate. Calling a crime a “hate crime” (a phrase invented by the liberal establishment) is redundant.

‘Unexpected Voice, I agree 150% especially if the culture they invite and praise is based on decepton and terror. what resulted was a plan of chaos.and near future deadly results to weaken a society after they have enought population to do so. Sort of like a cartel….invade, infect and conquest.

Los Angeles: Anti-Semitic hate crimes 14 times more frequent than anti-Muslim hate crimes
………………..
This does not surprise–even though the two populations are of roughly the same size.
James Lincoln says
I wonder what CAIR thinks of these statistics…
Northern Virginiastan says
CAIR will note that hate crimes against Muslims have gone up 150%
underbed cat says
2 hate criimes to 5 hate crimes is 150%.increase muslim hate crimes.
Battle says
CAIR is a hate crime.
underbed cat says
Agree Battle. It is the use of lawfare and omitting the connectivity of jihad warfare by two types of settlement.
Alain says
CAIR, or should I say the Muslim Brotherhood, will not care.
notnolib says
CAIR is a terrorist organization. It’s officers, supporters, and members are terrorists, and should be treated as such.
mortimer says
I would like to know the percentage of such bigoted crimes against Jews by the religion of the perpetrators.
gravenimage says
Me too, Mortimer.
Battle says
+100
Alain says
Excellent point.
Bob Shillman says
Seems some folks here can’t do basic arithmetic or stats. What is the proportion of Muslims in LA vs Jews? I agree anti-Semitism is a more common issue than Islamophobia but if you normalize by the population of Muslims and Jews, the amount of hate is similar. So it makes sense for Muslims to have organizations like CAIR to represent them just as the ADL is a watchdog for anti-Semitism (among other forms of bias and hatred).
gravenimage says
According to Wikipedia, there are 500,000 Muslims in Los Angeles, and according to the New World Encyclopedia there are 490,000 Jews there. So the populations are roughly equal.
So your implication that the numbers are higher for Jews because their population is larger in Los Angeles is inaccurate..
Then, the idea that CAIR–which is linked to Hamas and is actively involved with Isamizing the US–is no different from groups like the ADL is much mistaken.
Alain says
Another excellent point.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
A precise analysis, my compliments.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Alain and James. I;m glad I looked up the figures.

Democrat run cities are in competition for the Anti-Semite of the year award.
“The “Islamophobia” industry, however, wildly exaggerates the threat to Muslims and falsely portrays them as subject to widespread discrimination and harassment in the US, in its indefatigable pursuit of protected victim status.”
I must note that democrat whiteophobia overshadows the discrimination and harassment of both Jews and muslims combined. However, there is plenty of hatred to go around in democrat run cities. What on Earth could be the root cause of all that hate?
Thinking…
Battle says
tausa: “Democrat whiteophobia”
+100.
libertyORdeath says
5 reported hate crimes against muslims…but how many were actually true???
gravenimage says
Another important question, given how many fake hate crimes Muslims have ginned up.
underbed cat says
Agree gravenimage…..who said “I have been made victorious thru terror”…or” Allah is the greatist deceiver.” Couldn’t succeed with one without the other.
Kurt says
I bet it’s much higher, the hard-left has increased anti-semitism across the world. BTW: A great background shot of LA without the smog!
elee says
If any Muslims or any Jews were surprised, now that would be news.
ronyvo says
The ‘natural’ result of the hate against Muslims is a re-action of the extreme hate of Muslims. The Muslims are ‘just’ hateful ‘people’, a hate which originated from their evil faith. Their hate is, not only, towards Jews it has no limits. They start with the Jews and ALL the rest WILL follow.
underbed cat says
Los Angeles has 24 mosques in the county..
gravenimage says
Yes–and many more in the greater Los Angeles area.
OLD GUY says
Islam always the “VICTIM”. We really need to look at the victims of islam, men, women and children of all races and religions. Islamics have to hate and abuse anyone who is not following islam and sharia law. The main point of islamic leadership is the takeover of all other societies through their ideology that non-islamic people are of a lower species and are therefore to be enslaved or killed at their discretion.
Are all muslims and followers of islam bad, of course not. However many of the leaders at the state and mosques levels are supporting the hate towards non islamic people, with little or no push back against their radical teachings by the general muslim islamic followers. The muslim peoples silence about radical islamist teachings in their mosques speaks volumes as to their support for the hate towards Jews and Christians around the world.
Islamist have created this problem and are not the victim.

500k saracens in LA, how many of the 500k, are refugees, illegals, migrants, dhimmicrats, on welfare, have crimminal records, etc.?
Ole Pederson says

gravenimage says
Ole, the Muslim and Jewish population in LA is roughly equal–please see my post above.
