American Jews Are the Real Targets of Hate Crimes

"If the latest FBI hate-crime statistics are any indication, of the 1,314 verified offenses motivated by religious bias, 68.5 percent were anti-Jewish.

Only 11.1 percent were anti-Islamic, despite claims of rampant anti-Muslim bigotry in the U.S. by groups like the Council on American Islamic Relations.

Across the board, hate crimes in the U.S. dropped last year by 6 percent, according to the 2005 FBI report release last week, although violence against people based on their race accounted more than half of the reported incidents." @Worldnetdaily

Hey - great post. I can't believe people don't realize how much bigotry is aimed at Jews these days. Do people think its a relic of the past? I'm afraid not!

Thanks for the link, and welcome to the blogosphere!
