39. Someone else is tracking these Anti-Islamic trends? That kind of Compassion is rare these days.

Thanks Napkinz. Have to say I'm somewhat overcome by the sheer volume of our projectile "vomiting" of hate speech since 9-11 here in the USA.

Short excerpt from the 1st post:

What else is NOT being covered in our national media?

Our Federal agencies can easily track this trend, have been documenting it for more than a decade.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/02/11/anti-muslim-hate-crimes-are-still-five-times-more-common-today-than-before-911/

https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2015/fbi-bias-crimes-against-muslims-remain-high-levels

Right wing media is intentionally rationalizing the Anti-Muslim rhetoric we’ve become familiar with over the last 1.5 decades since 9-11, while concurrently contributing to and encouraging the “defamation” of our national/international Islamic community.

While not a Muslim/Islamic, I'd have to be blind to not see these National trends. I'm a proud agnostic and abhor Fundamentalists on both sides of this divide, looks like the Christian coalition of them are beating the drums of war yet again.

Thanks.
