(RNS) â It may be a law of nature: President Trump tweets something about Islam. Anti-Muslim h**e crimes follow.
Thatâs according to a working paper by University of Warwick researchers Karsten Müller and Carlo Schwarz.
Their conclusions correspond with anecdotal reports collected by Muslim civil rights and advocacy groups, too.
âWhether itâs a tweet or whether itâs in a policy (Trump is) introducing, or if itâs in a policy someone in his administration is introducing, I think it all comes together to create this kind of environment where targeting Muslims is acceptable or has become acceptable,â said Madihha Ahussain, special counsel for anti-Muslim bigotry at Muslim Advocates.
Müller and Schwarz examined publicly accessible data such as the weekly number of anti-Muslim h**e crimes recorded by the FBI in their paper, âMaking America H**e Again? Twitter and H**e Crime Under Trump.â
The data showed a rise in anti-Muslim h**e crimes since the start of Trumpâs p**********l campaign, concentrated in counties with high Twitter usage. It also showed a correlation between the number of Trumpâs tweets in a given week that used keywords related to Islam and the number of anti-Muslim h**e crimes that followed.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fabiola-santiago/article211319219.htmlWe have people coming into the country, or trying to come in â weâre stopping a lot of them,â Trump said. âYou wouldnât believe how bad these people are. These arenât people, these are animals, and weâre taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate thatâs never happened before.â
Yes, the president of the United States of America called people seeking refuge at the border âanimals.â He's no longer the candidate using anti-immigrant epithets to outdo a crowded Republican slate of hopefuls, but he doesn't act it.

The most recent FBI statistics on h**e crimes are 2016. Here is 2016 followed by 2015 for comparison.
Race/Ethnicity/Ancestry bias (Based on Table 1.)
In 2016, law enforcement agencies reported that 4,229 single-bias h**e crime offenses were motivated by race/ethnicity/ancestry. Of these offenses:
50.2 percent were motivated by anti-Black or African American bias.
20.7 percent stemmed from anti-White bias.
10.6 percent were classified as anti-Hispanic or Latino bias.
4.2 percent were a result of bias against groups of individuals consisting of more than one race (anti-multiple races, group).
3.8 percent were motivated by anti-American Indian or Alaska Native bias.
3.1 percent resulted from anti-Asian bias.
1.3 percent were classified as anti-Arab bias.
0.2 percent (9 offenses) were motivated by bias of anti-Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.
5.8 percent were the result of an anti-Other Race/Ethnicity/Ancestry bias.
Race/Ethnicity/Ancestry bias (Based on Table 1.)
In 2015, law enforcement agencies reported that 4,029 single-bias h**e crime offenses were motivated by race/ethnicity/ancestry. Of these offenses:
52.7 percent were motivated by anti-Black or African American bias.
18.2 percent stemmed from anti-White bias.
9.4 percent were classified as anti-Hispanic or Latino bias.
3.4 percent were motivated by anti-American Indian or Alaska Native bias.
3.4 percent were a result of bias against groups of individuals consisting of more than one race (anti-multiple races, group).
3.3 percent resulted from anti-Asian bias.
1.2 percent were classified as anti-Arab bias.
0.1 percent (6 offenses) were motivated by bias of anti-Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.
8.2 percent were the result of an anti-other Race/Ethnicity/Ancestry bias.
The largest increase was anti-white h**e crimes while anti-black h**e crime decreased. So does this prove Trump is r****t against w****s and for b****s?
The increase in anti-Muslim h**e crime was about 0.1% The increase in Muslim population is greater than 0.1% so the incidences can't really be said to be on the rise proportionally.
