'Hate crimes soar' scream the BBC

269- up from 40 the previous year against Muslims

So we have gone from virtually no hate crimes.... to very few hate crimes. While not completely acceptable I think it was expected people would get a bit pissed off the events of 7/7

If we take look at the entire Muslim population (taking 2 million as an arbitory figure) then it appears 0.013 percent have reported a 'hate crime' in all. Hardly anything to get in a flap about BBC!

Hopefully those include the eight hate crimes that caused every problem thus far.

I read a poll somewhere that said 9% of british muslims applaud the actions of terrorists.

From what I've seen of the typical shaven-headed, tattooed yob abroad, I'm surprised they haven't massacred every dark-skinned person in the country.  Scary bunch, lower class Brits.

O/c in % terms they have soared; from hardly any to a bit more.
This is actually a much, much lower rise than was expected actually. Methinks the Beeb had a headline worked out and fitted the story to fit the headline.

You're one to talk, Mr. "Let's feed all the religious to lions".

Actually there was no real increase, just the police categorizing non-"bias" incidents as hate crimes for political reasons.

There are some Brits that apparently want to survive, but many are in places without a large number of Muslims.

I guarantee that all of them are between 18-30 and dont have a job.

[afleitch]

I'd agree with the 18-30 bit, employed or not.

No... probably not. The idea that that's the case is a piece of propaganda put about by nutters like MPAUK (I should add that I'm apalled how many interviews a fringe extremist group like that has been getting recently. The BNP doesn't (rightly so) so why should people like that?) to suit thier own ends (MPAUK wants to take over the entire Muslim community).
I don't think you could make a meaningful demographic breakdown of support for suicide bombings (and the % (no one is entirely sure what it is) is pretty small anyway)... well apart from one; radicalisation seems to be more widespread among second generation immigrants than first or third generation ones. There hasn't been enough research into this sadly... which has enabled myths to spread very quickly.

It is exactly the same as the situation in the Netherlands after the murder on Theo van Gogh last November. Some racist yobs wrote texts on walls and tried to burn down mosques and islamic schools (and managed to fail quite a lot, which says a lot about their intelligence :-) ) , and immediately newspapers used the largest headlines possible to announce that "Dutch tolerance was over" because of this.

Sometimes its best to not be tolerant of those wishing to destroy your nation. But it seems these days Europe doesnt want to care because it doesnt want to "offend" whatever the hell "offend" actually means.

Mr. "Let's feed all the religious to lions".

Is say the same thing. I Mr "homosexuals should be slaughtered with a sword". Feeding them to the lions is just to cruel and unusual, with a sword you can end it instantly.

oh IMO i think It should be a hate crime to make a gay-ass video of someone picking on a foreign non-english group.
