[QUOTE]Police attribute the rise in recorded hate crimes to factors including greater victim confidence and reaction to world events, such as the Charlie Hebdo shootings in France or violence flaring in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. The news comes as integration think tank British Future today published a survey showing just over half of Londoners polled felt community relations had worsened slightly since the July 7 bombings in 2005. The total number of racist and religious hate crimes across London rose by almost 28 per cent last year, from 9,965 reported incidents to 12,749. Crimes listed as anti-Semitic were up 138 per cent from 208 to 495. Brent and Hackney saw some of the biggest increases. Attacks on Jewish Londoners include a man being hospitalised after an assault on a synagogue in Stamford Hill. Six people were arrested. Jonathan Sacerdoti, of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, said: “Anecdotally, a lot of the people who speak to us say they feel things are getting worse. “London is still a very safe place for Jewish people to live — we’re not a besieged community — but the Met’s own figures are there. We believe there should be zero tolerance. Where there is abuse against Jews, we believe it should be taken seriously.”[/QUOTE] [quote] The number of crimes classified by police as Islamophobic increased by more than 47 per cent, from 529 to 778, particularly in Merton, Islington, Southwark and Westminster. According to data compiled by Tell Mama, which measures anti-Muslim attacks, most street attacks were on females by white males. Offences range from verbal abuse to causing physical harm. Fiyaz Mughal, founder of Faith Matters, said attacks included spitting, throwing objects at Muslim women in cars and mosque arson. He said: “There is a level of ignorance in this country, not many people will have spent some good quality time meeting a Muslim.[/quote] [URL]http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/race-hate-attacks-on-the-rise-in-london-scotland-yard-figures-reveal-10360207.html?origin=internalSearch[/URL]
And I wonder what the figures are on Muslims attacking non-muslims, or blacks on white? they never mention those figures.
[QUOTE=dunkace;48119974]And I wonder what the figures are on Muslims attacking non-muslims, or blacks on white? they never mention those figures.[/QUOTE] Probably because they're too small to matter
[QUOTE=itisjuly;48119980]Probably because they're too small to matter[/QUOTE] They never mention those figures? I hear about 9/11 practically every day of my life since it happened
[QUOTE=itisjuly;48119980]Probably because they're too small to matter[/QUOTE] Not at all, religious and racist hates crimes have been rising - Attacks against homosexuals, Muslims, and other groups are on the rise. Other places worse then others, but it is an issue.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;48119980]Probably because they're too small to matter[/QUOTE]Not really I think like 60%(don't have any statistics to back the claim up but it looks legit) of all attacks on jewish people are muslims. I'm not sure about the others considering that I haven't heard much about it on the news. But I could imagine a big increase of Islamphobia considering IS is getting bigger.
[quote]According to data compiled by Tell Mama, which measures [B]anti-Muslim attacks, most street attacks were on females by white males[/B].[/quote] These were probably the same people who call for a total Islamic clothing ban too, because they feel it oppresses Muslim women.
[QUOTE=Starpluck;48120086]These were probably the same people who call for an Islamic clothing ban too, because they feel it oppresses Muslim women.[/QUOTE]Oppressing women for thinking their clothes oppresses them. #NonflawedLogic
[QUOTE=dunkace;48119974]And I wonder what the figures are on Muslims attacking non-muslims, or blacks on white? they never mention those figures.[/QUOTE] This particular study focuses on ethnic and religious minorities in Britain; there are plenty of studies showing those statistics to feed your persecution complex.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;48119980]Probably because they're too small to matter[/QUOTE] It's more common that minority attacks on majority are very rarely classified as hate crimes.
[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyGunz;48120165]This particular study focuses on ethnic and religious minorities in Britain; there are plenty of studies showing those statistics to feed your persecution complex.[/QUOTE] I love how we Americans think like its the same everywhere else.
[QUOTE=dunkace;48119974]And I wonder what the figures are on Muslims attacking non-muslims, or blacks on white? they never mention those figures.[/QUOTE] A quick Google search finds an Independent article from December referring to last years increase as well. [url]http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/rise-in-racist-religious-and-homophobic-hate-crimes-in-london-9899009.html[/url] The majority of hate crime victims are male, and are aged between 20 and 49. Meanwhile, most offenders are male and aged between 20 and 29, around [B]45 per cent of who are white and British[/B]. The UK is 87.1% White, and that leaves 55% of the offenders being not white and/or British.
Okay so I can understand why they'd attack muslims after 7/7 but why are they attacking the jews of all people

[QUOTE=Rowtree;48121738]Okay so I can understand why they'd attack muslims after 7/7 but why are they attacking the jews of all people[/QUOTE] Muslims tend to not be too fond of Jews.
[QUOTE=elfbarf;48122036]Muslims tend to not be too fond of Jews.[/QUOTE] Muslims tend to not be too fond of non-muslims.
[QUOTE=Baron von Hax;48122376]Muslims tend to not be too fond of non-muslims.[/QUOTE] Religious folks tend not to be too fond of people who don't follow their religion if they take their religion too seriously. That's universal.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;48119980]Probably because they're too small to matter[/QUOTE] do people still believe blacks can't hate white people?
[QUOTE=J!NX;48122432]do people still believe blacks can't hate white people?[/QUOTE] As a minority, it's really risky for them to actually do something racially motivated.
[QUOTE=Baron von Hax;48122376]Muslims tend to not be too fond of non-muslims.[/QUOTE] vegans tend to not be too fond of non-vegans
[QUOTE=Killuah;48122656]vegans tend to not be too fond of non-vegans[/QUOTE] Good job comparing two completely different things.
[QUOTE=Killuah;48122656]vegans tend to not be too fond of non-vegans[/QUOTE] Ah yes, the terrible September 11th bombing of the Meat Trade Centers and the regular beheadings of all non-vegans. Truly frightening times to live in.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;48122569]As a minority, it's really risky for them to actually do something racially motivated.[/QUOTE] oh that makes more sense now actually
[QUOTE=Starpluck;48120086]These were probably the same people who call for a total Islamic clothing ban too, because they feel it oppresses Muslim women.[/QUOTE] Well how else will the white supremacists be able to recognize the Muslim women they want to oppress?
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;48124241]Well how else will the white supremacists be able to recognize the Muslim women they want to oppress?[/QUOTE] In general, just being brown certainly does help with this.
[QUOTE=Baron von Hax;48123530]Good job comparing two completely different things.[/QUOTE] good job not getting the point so here it is: social/ethnic/political groups of people indentifying with each other tend to be not too fond of outsiders, it's not exclusive to Muslims or any group in particular
[QUOTE=Killuah;48129099]good job not getting the point so here it is: social/ethnic/political groups of people indentifying with each other tend to be not too fond of outsiders, it's not exclusive to Muslims or any group in particular[/QUOTE] There was a comedian, I forget who, but he made a joke from a pattern that people who are usually enemies would side together when someone from further beyond came into play something along the lines of in school, two groups who don't get along would side together when they're against their rival school from the other side of town. and then these two schools would side together when they're against schools from the next town the whole country would side together when they're rivalling another country so the guy made a joking theory that the only way to have world peace is to go to war with aliens.
Honestly sad times when being Indian and having a beard could potentially get me clocked in the face because I might look like a Muslim, I never go to shitty areas in London anyway but y'know
[QUOTE=dunkace;48119974]And I wonder what the figures are on Muslims attacking non-muslims, or blacks on white? they never mention those figures.[/QUOTE] New York, 2001. Madrid, 2004. London, 2005. Boston, 2013. Paris, 2015.
[QUOTE=dunkace;48119974]And I wonder what the figures are on Muslims attacking non-muslims, or blacks on white? they never mention those figures.[/QUOTE] The very first post of the thread is one attempting to justify literal hate crimes with a disturbing deflection about Muslims and black people apparently deserving it, and people wonder why I joke.
