We are six days away from the end of the most destructive administration in American history. No administration has done more to damage the foundational values of this country. On the way out the door, the administration announced “the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate.”
Now, if there was a burgeoning crisis in Islamophobia, it would be good to see the administration working to the last minute to deal with such a crisis. What are the facts in this area?
The FBI Crime Data Explorer says that there were 265 hate crimes in the past year that were classified as “Anti-Jewish.” This just edged out hate crimes that were “Anti-Black or African American” for the top spot on the hate crimes list; there were 220 of those.
After that, there is a steep drop-off. There were 83 “Anti-Gay (Male)” hate crimes, 79 “Anti-White” hate crimes, and so on. Finishing ninth in the hate crimes standings were “Anti-Islamic (Muslim)” hate crimes, which numbered only 24.
So, out of the vast numbers of crimes committed last year, two dozen were considered to be “Anti-Islamic.” Remember, these numbers come from the politicized FBI that would love to show a spike in hate crimes against Muslims. This would serve to help justify their claims that domestic terrorism is the single biggest threat this country faces.
Antisemitism was ten times higher as were hate crimes against blacks. Even Anti-White hate crimes were orders of magnitude higher.
So, why do we need a national strategy? The most likely answer is that the regime wants to keep Muslims voting for the Democratic Party. The administration’s profile on the Hamas-Israeli conflict has turned off many Muslims.
The administration offered the usual platitudes about providing the liberties and opportunities that are the bedrock of our country. This kind of crap, that is, implying that there is a significant portion of the population that hate Muslims, is why so many people are turned off by DC. This is akin to Biden calling half the country “domestic terrorists” during his address in Philadelphia a few years back.
This is just another example of useless spending by the charlatans that run our government.
The sooner these destructive Communists exit the White House, the better.
