New York’s WPIX11 is claiming that the Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has found that 64% of New York City Muslims have been the victim of a hate crime.
“The report found 64% of Muslims in New York City have experienced a hate crime, bias incident, or both.” – WPIX’s Ayana Harry
From CAIR-NY’s report:
“This report only considers the 295 participants residing in the five boroughs of New York City.”
Sixty-four percent of 295 is 188.8. So that works out to be .0024% of the 8,380,000 people in New York City.
CAIR doesn’t share any of its data with us. It doesn’t say how it selected the fewer than 200 participants in this report, or exactly what these people represent. Nor do they give us any examples of the hate crimes these 188.8 Muslims claim to have received.
CAIR does not compare its findings with statistics about hate crimes against other groups such as blacks, whites, Asians, Italians, etc., who might be reporting even higher percentages of hate crimes. That might make CAIR’s message seem trivial and manipulative, and we can’t have that.
Imagine if the news headline read: “CAIR Report Finds That Fewer Than 190 NYC Muslims experienced a Hate Crime.” That just doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it?
Talking in terms of percentages like this instead of actual numbers is something CAIR does in all its reports.
This has the desired effect.
This is classic CAIR media manipulation. These so-called reports are never meant to be read. They are only meant to be waved about, talked over, and misreported in the news.
“Many anti-Muslim crimes go unreported, study finds,” by Ayana Harry, PIX11, September 8, 2022:
NEW YORK (PIX11) — A new report examines hate crimes targeting the Muslim New York City residents.
The study, Feeling the Hate, was released by the Council on American Islamic Relations, New York. Legal Director Ahmed Mohamed said the organization wanted to see how often the Muslim community was targeted in bias incidents.
The report found 64% of Muslims in New York City have experienced a hate crime, bias incident, or both.
“We also learned, shockingly, and verified what we’ve been saying all along,” Mohamed said. “Muslims underreport; only 4% of Muslims are reporting hate crimes to law enforcement.”
It was distressing news to report co-author Asad Dandia.
“I’m sad because this report is so raw and so intense,” Dandia said.
During his research, Dandia said they learned “a significant number of witnesses were present in during these incidents and didn’t do anything.”…
A full copy of the report can be found online.

Oh, poo. we already know that mozlums are more likely to fear mozlums than Americans are to fear them.
so who is going to believe c.a.i.rats org members when they spout their lies? I know I don’t. I wouldn’t believe them if they said the …well, anything. They lie.
OT but interesting
“Crowdfunding the ‘Islamic State’ group”
“Fans of the IS group have helped families of former members, trapped in a camp in Syria, by raising money for groceries. But they also want funds to smuggle young men out of the camp, so they can learn to fight.
“This message is the beginning of an important call for donations,” said a note in German on the instant messenger service, Telegram, in late July. “In the camp there are two brothers, 15 and 17 years old, in hiding. Their family in the land of the unbelievers has published their pictures and wants to bundle them back to their homeland.”
But the mother of the boys wants “to bring them to safety,” the note said, and to do so she would need a total of $14,000 (€14,000). The money would be used to pay people smugglers to get the teenagers out of al-Hol, a camp in northeastern Syriafor displaced people.”

CAIR Manipulates the Media with New Hate Crime Report
New York’s WPIX11 is claiming that the Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has found that 64% of New York City Muslims have been the victim of a hate crime.
…………………………………
So almost *two-thirds* of Muslims have experienced a hate crime? I call bs, even if this wasn’t such a tiny sampling.
What “hate crimes” were these, exactly? This conjures up the image of people being stabbed while the assailant screamed anti-Muslim slogans–or at least the same while having their Hijabs or skull caps pulled off.
Or is the reality that someone might have looked at them sideways at one time?
More:
“We also learned, shockingly, and verified what we’ve been saying all along,” Mohamed said. “Muslims underreport; only 4% of Muslims are reporting hate crimes to law enforcement.”
…………………………………
Well, *that’s* convenient, isn’t it? That means there is no record of this wave of anti-Muslim hate crimes, nor any actual police investigations.
Of course, you are supposed to assume that the police are so “racist” that reporting these heinous crimes would have done no good…
More:
During his research, Dandia said they learned “a significant number of witnesses were present in during these incidents and didn’t do anything.”…
…………………………………
Oh, the humanity! Of course, this may have less been the callousness of Infidels than the fact that these crimes never happened…
And what do we know about Asad Dandia? His “charity”, “Muslims Giving Back”, was investigated by police after 9/11. He was of course enraged that anyone could suspect Muslims of terrorism. So he sued the police, because no pious Muslims wants to see potential Jihad terrorists stopped. So this false implication about police is just more of the same.

Several years ago after an FBI report came out indicating that Jews are subject to the worst level of hate crimes, I think it was Doug Hooper the supersized comms director said “we gotta work on getting our numbers up”.
CAIR is a terrorist organization.
