For months (maybe even years) liberals have been wringing their hands with concern about how Americans treat our Muslim neighbors. According to the generally agreed upon liberal narrative of American racism today in America Muslims face very real threats from the non-Muslims they interact with.
Take, for example, Attorney General Loretta Lynchs recent remarks on the subject.
Since 9/11, weve had over 1,000 investigations into acts of anti-Muslim hatred, including rhetoric and bigoted actions, with over 45 prosecutions arising out of that. I think sadly that numbers going to continue.
She continued by threatening law abiding Americans who might say something that isnt politically correct.
I think its important, however, that as we again talk about the importance of free speech, we make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not America. They are not who we are. Theyre not what we do, and they will be prosecuted, so I want that message to be clear also.
So the liberal narrative goes Muslims in America are in danger from violent white people who think Islam is evil. Sadly, (for liberals) this story is just not true.
The FBI has just released their most up-to-date data, proving that American Muslims really have nothing to fear in day-to-day life. However, the data does seem to indicate that there is one group who should be looking over their shoulder
obama and loretta lynchJews.
American Jews daily face very real and present danger from their neighbors.
According to the FBIs Uniform Crime Reports: Hate Crime Statistics, 2014, there were 1,140 victims of anti-religious hate crimes in the U.S. in 2014. Of the 1,140 victims of anti-religious hate crimes: 56.8 percent [56.8%] were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders anti-Jewish bias. That amounts to approximately 647.52 instances where Jewish individuals, businesses or institutions were targeted.
A mere 16.1 percent [16.1%] were victims of anti-Islamic (Muslim) bias, amounting to approximately 183.54 instances where Muslim individuals, businesses or institutions were targeted.
In the U.S., Jews were targeted an astonishing 40.7 percent (40.7%) more than Muslims in the year 2014.
So in 2014 there were 1140 anti-religious hate crimes in the USA, the majority of them were AGAINST Jews. 183 were against Muslims
and 99 were against Christians! Does this seem to be the kind of problem that our President and Attorney General need to be wasting their time on? I dont think so.
We Americans are an incredibly forgiving and gracious people. We understand that most Muslim-Americans dont support terrorism and arent a threat to our immediate safety and welfare. There is no reason for Loretta Lynch and Barack Obama to lecture us about being nice to our Muslim neighbors. None.
Someone needs to tell these two government nannies to stop worrying about things that almost never happen and focus their efforts on real problems like Islamic terrorism.

Nice that you went back to 2014 yes there may very well been that many attacks against Jews and the fact is that this administration has stepped up their prosecutions against peoples for hate crimes I would be interested in seeing a breakdown of your figures.
You failed mention that Jewish crime went from 62.8 in 2012 to 60.3% in 2013 to 56.8% 2014 while Islamic when from 12.8% in 2012 to 13.2 in 2013 to 16.2%(your figure) in 2014
