Sen, Dick Durbin seems to think anti-Muslim gangs are roaming the streets of Anytown, USA, rounding up those looking Middle Eastern and doing unspeakable things to them. He believes that those who exercise their free speech right and set fire to a Qur'an, or speak out against Islamic ideology and the lack of human rights inherit within sharia law are practicing anti-Muslim bigotry. It is Muslims who are suffering under the increasing burden of hate crimes, and are victimized by the evil known as Islamophobia, says Durbin so holding hearings on these scary problems affecting Muslims must be a priority.
Pish-tosh, I say. The simple fact is that hate crimes against Muslims in 2009 amounted to almost 9% of the total, while hate crimes against Jews hit 70%. Does Durbin even think to ask why Jews take the brunt of reported hate crimes? No, it is easier to ignore Israel and appease Islam and Durbin will take no prisoners in finding the lie of Islamic victim hood to be his only truth.

Senators decry anti-Muslim violence
WASHINGTON — Republican and Democratic senators at a hearing on anti-Muslim discrimination Tuesday agreed on one point: Even one case of bullying, violence or workplace harassment goes beyond what Americans should accept.
OK, that's fine. But only regarding Muslims? Violence and harassment should not be put upon anyone, not just Muslims, correct?
"Those who use this type of rhetoric, who burn Qurans and who engage in other forms of bigotry and discrimination may be few in number, but their bigoted conduct and remarks violate the spirit of our Bill of Rights," said Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin, D-Ill., chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights.
While subcommittee Democrats said special attention should be paid to hate crimes committed against Muslims in the USA, Republicans argued that Muslim Americans have not done enough to fight radicalism in their own communities.
"Get in this fight," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. "You're going to have to help your country. You're probably uniquely qualified, compared to anyone else, to understand what's going on and fight back."
The hearing comes two weeks after Rep. Pete King, R-N.Y., conducted a controversial House hearing looking into how extremist groups lure American Muslims to become violent. A number of Muslim Americans felt their community was singled out for the terrorist acts of a few.
No one blames all Muslims for the acts of a few but there is a legitimate question in asking how the Muslim community is rooting out the jihadists and Islamists in their midst. Not all Muslims are terrorists but the majority of terrorists are Muslim. There's a little tip for you, Senator.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., says Anti-Muslim bigotry violates the American spirit.
There have been 800 incidents of alleged violence, threats, vandalism and arson against people who were perceived to be Muslim since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to the U.S. Justice Department. In addition, 14% of religious discrimination cases are against Muslim institutions....
That's about 80 a year. Hate crimes against Jews since 9-11, if you average it out is over 10,000. Yes Sen. Durbin, I see now why you are holding hearings on rising anti-Muslim hate crimes. You are a dhimmi.
