You know an article has to be good if it starts out: "You certainly won’t hear this from the America-bashing state-run media".

Awesome.

Needless to say I saw this article somewhere in the fringe of the right-wing - don't worry, I'm not trolling there, I caught the title in a search - "Hate Crimes Against Muslims Continue to Decline - More Hate Crimes Against Christians".

They even have a nifty chart:

20091113_1fbistats.jpg

Apparently in 2007 there were 115 reported hate crime incidents against Muslims and 118 against Christians.

That's three fewer hate crimes.

Well that's something.

Oh, wait, no.

According to Pew Research, 78.4% of Americans are Christian, and 0.6% are Muslim.

So, per capita, that's a huuuuuuge difference.

But you certainly won’t hear that from the Islam-bashing right-wing media ...
