The increase in the number of crimes against muslims don't surprise me at all for obvious reasons but there are some of us on this board who always insist that there are more black crimes against whites than vice versa. This article has some interesting stats.
HATE CRIMES directed against people because of their ethnicity or national origin — those not Hispanic and not black — more than doubled from 354 in 2000 to 1,501 in 2001. This category includes people of Middle Eastern origin or descent, the FBI says.
The increases, according to the report, happened “presumably as a result of the heinous incidents that occurred on Sept. 11” of 2001.
Overall crime motivated by hate rose just over 17 percent from 2000 to 2001, from 8,063 to 9,730 incidents. Part of the increase, however, is a result of an increase in the number of law enforcement agencies voluntarily supplying hate crime data to the FBI from year to year.
There were just over 12,000 victims of hate crimes in 2001, with 46 percent of those targeted because of their race. There were 2,899 bias crimes against 3,700 black victims, by far the largest single category.
The majority of incidents were against individuals, including 10 murders, four rapes, 2,736 assaults and 3,563 cases of intimidation. There were more than 3,600 property crimes as well, all but a few incidents of vandalism or destruction.
Most incidents against Muslims and people of Middle Eastern ethnicity also involved assaults and intimidation, but there were three cases of murder or manslaughter and 35 arsons.
Within the religion category, anti-Jewish incidents remained the highest.
Whites made up the vast majority of known offenders for all cases, at 6,054, followed by blacks at 1,882.
The 2001 hate crimes report was drawn from 11,987 law enforcement agencies around the country, up from 1,160 agencies in 2000.
