(Boston Globe) Jeff Jacoby - "Is America Islamophobic?" the cover of Time asked in August. The FBI's latest compendium of U.S. hate-crimes data suggests far more plausibly that the answer is no. As Time pointed out, "there are now 1,900 mosques in the U.S., up from about 1,200 in 2001." Even after 9/11, in other words, and even as radical Islamists continue to target Americans, places of worship for Muslims in the U.S. have proliferated. In 2009, there were 1,376 U.S. hate crimes motivated by religious bias. Of those, 9% were committed against Muslims, while 70% were committed against Jews. Year after year, American Jews are far more likely to be the victims of religious hate crime than members of any other group. 2010-12-08 09:15:24Full Article
