SURPRISE! They're not. not even close.
Victims of hate crimes happen in THIS order (per capita)
Gays
Jews
Blacks
Hispanic
2% of the American population is Muslim, exactly the same percentage as homosexuality, and YET even in the last months of 2001 when "Islamophobia" hit it's absolute zenith, skyrocketing to 546 hate crimes (and then quieting back down in the next year) the number of hate crimes against gay males alone (not counting lesbians) was more than double that number (1,103).
The number of attacks on Jews in that same year was 1,117.
Why haven't they invented a jingle-y little buzzword like "Jewphobia" to create a sensationalistic media frenzy?
Remember the attacks on Muslims went from almost negligible pre-9/11 to 546 in 2001 down to 116 in 2009 (and the trend is still declining)
the numbers for Jews, blacks, gays and hispanics have remained steady.
So why did the liberals suddenly decide that a handful of Muslim victims needed more attention for crimes perpetrated against them than 1,000s of other victims in this country.
Lets not forget ALSO that crimes against gays in particular are more likely to be violent in nature, or to result in fatality and yet a brick through a gay recreational center window, or a fire in front of the building will never make national news, yet if it happens at a mosque it will undoubtedly be heard from the four corners of the world. Hell, if a guy even threatens to burn a quran, a piece of paper, he gets a phone call from the president himself.
Do you have any idea how many times the gay rec center in my neighborhood has gad to replace their rainbow flag because it was stolen or desecrated? 6 times in the last year. It never even made the local paper much less national headlines.
This is ridiculous. "Islamophobia" where it exists is a terrible thing.
but Muslims are not better than gays or jews or blacks or hispanics and they DON'T deserve preferential treatment. It's bigotry to suggest that they do.
hate crime IS wrong
You know what else is wrong? Creating propaganda in order to bask in the sympathy of victimhood when you're not a victim.
Remember that lady who claimed she had cancer in order to scam a bunch of people into giving her gifts and money, but she didn't have cancer?
that was wrong, wasn't it?
The myth of wide-reaching "Islamophobia" is wrong too, for the same reasons.
It exists to create sympathy for Islamists, not Muslims, Islamists, whose goal is to spread Islam through any means necessary, even if it involves lies and deceit, and to garner political clout (like EVERY supremacist group wants).

Of course not but even as a tiny minority they commit most of the crimes against women, homosexuals, jews, apostates etc in much of the west. Recent studies prove that they have made up many crimes against them to distract against the crimes that they themselves commit... Cair is full of ****. Also, if you look at islamic countries everyday is a hate crime against women, homosexuals, hindus, buddhists, sikhs, jews, christians, anybody who leaves islam or questions it and nothing can be done about it. Anybody who tries to speak out there will also be punished but no we can't say anything about this now can we? Thats soooo racist because picking on an intolerant ideology and death cult is the same thing as hating a stranger for the color of their skin...NOT!

I see what you are saying. I was close. I put Gays first. After that, it was a toss-up between Jews and Blacks for me (without knowing the statistics). But, one thing that we should keep in mind is that while Gays are not always an obvious part of the population, it''s easier to spot Jews, Blacks, and Hispanics who may be disproportionately represented in various parts of the county.
So, for instance the instances of hate crimes against blacks in Montana may be statistically insignificant, it may be so because there are not many Blacks in Montana.
Quite frankly, I'm sick of the phobias. Just judge people by their character.

FYI---if you listen to Egyptian Coptic news, you will see that Muslims are the ones who start the hate crimes.
Around the 600's, I believe, Coptic Christians let the Muslims settle in their peacefully. Soon, the Muslims turned their masks and killed almost all the Christians. So, that now there are 90% Muslims in Egypt and 10% Christians in Egypt.
Still, they will not let the Christians have their peace.
Last year, they tired to kill the Bishop of Naga Hammadi (Bishop Kirollis/Cyril), instead they murdered 6 young boys all under the age of 26 with families. They continued still to threaten the Pope, Pope Shenouda III of the Coptics.
This New Year, as people were getting out of the church to go home, they murdered at least 21 and left 40 or some injured badly.
They have also raped our women and taken them off the streets for ransoms. They also kidnapped two priests' wives, who they claim were Muslims. When the two women made a public statement that they are Christians, not Muslims, they stole 17 GIRLS OFF THE STREETS!
So, when you see a Muslim that says he/she comes in peace, you rethink about it.

In America, I've heard and seen a lot of hatred towards them. But them and (as you said) gays or jews or hispanics are only people too. Say you've got a load of ginger cats. A lot ginger cats are male, so people presume all ginger cats are male. There are female ones - but it's prejudice. Say you've got gay people. Some gay people are feminine. Most of them are just regular guys who want to live their life.
They don't deserve it as much as the next person. But the world and humans in general are a hateful bunch, and need to find somewhere to collectively force their agression.
I one day hope it stops. :/

I think every human society that is grouped together likes to believe they are the biggest victims of hate crimes. It should be no study or statistic of who gets it worse. Hate is hate, and we as the USA should work even harder to set a good example to other countries, on tolerance of others.

For now yes but when the war in the middle east ends people are going to forget about doing it like they forgot about the Japanese

>>go ahead and answer first and then read the rest of this<<
An analysis of data for victims of single-bias hate crime incidents showed that:
* 48.8 percent of the victims were targeted because of the offender’s bias against a race.
* 18.9 percent were victimized because of a bias against a religious belief.
* 17.8 percent were targeted because of a bias against a particular sexual orientation.
* 13.3 percent were victimized because of a bias against an ethnicity/national origin.
* 1.2 percent were targeted because of a bias against a disability.

You left out the biggest victim of hate crimes...
Women.
Every culture and race has some hate towards women.
The middle east kills a woman who has sex before sex or with someone who is not her husband.
Men rape and kill women daily in every country every day.
That is the group that has the biggest victims of hate crimes. It just sucks that we have hate crimes period. After all these years, we still have not gotten it together.

From what site did you get all this wrong information?
Edit: I checked out your link, and I also checked out a couple other site's and they all differ. I don't believe everything I read nor will I post something until im sure im absolutely right.
Source(s): It's better to read a book than trust the information on the internet, if you do proper research than you would be able to analyze your info properly.
