Islamofascist Concern, Not Islamophobia

A New Dark Age is Dawning blog posts a report on the rise of Islamophobia in Canada since the arrest of 17 Islamofascist terrorist wannabees.

Islamophobia on the rise in Canada

Incidents of Islamophobia are on the rise following the arrest of 17 Toronto-area men and boys on terrorism charges, Ontario human rights commissioner Barbara Hall says. Islam attacks rising

The comments that follow are the real food for thought. The huge point that I appreciate is the Mohammedans in America and Canada are playing the victimhood card when the statistics do not prove the victimization.
Here are the comment posts as of my reading of A New Dark Age is Dawning:

From the article:Members of the Arab and Muslim communities report numerous cases ranging from verbal harassment on the street to job firingsHere in the States, many such reported incidents have proven to be false, CAIR's claims notwithstanding.

MarkI did check the FBI hate crime statistics. Muslims are more likely to perpetrate a hate crime then to be the victim. The last time I checked there were eight times more hate crimes commited against Jews and around six times more commited against Gay men. There were also far more crimes comitted against Blacks.Check the FBI hate crime stats and do note that small increases on low numbers provide a huge statistical jump but are meaningless.

Beakerkin:A point well made, and a point well taken. I agree with you that when the statistics are small anyway, then the jumps, or increases, are meaningless.

Always:I don't know how true these reports are; but I can well imagine that there has been an increase since the problems the Canadians have had with Jihadists recently.
