New in PJ Media:
The FBI recently released its hate crime statistics for 2024, and they don’t paint a comforting picture for those who uncritically accept the left’s claims about the state of the nation and what is going on in it. The FBI’s data belies the increasingly common linkage of “antisemitism” with “Islamophobia,” as if, in the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis, both Jews and Muslims were facing vigilante attacks on an equal basis. In reality, the increasingly common mention of “Islamophobia” in any discussion of “antisemitism” is just an attempt to soften the rage of Muslims in the United States over the expression of any concern about antisemitism. Ultimately, there should be zero incidents in both categories, but to equate them is a manifestation of a politically motivated myopia and deliberate distortion of reality.
And now for more politically motivated myopia and deliberate distortion of reality: as antisemitism skyrockets, the Biden-Harris regime has just announced a new initiative to fight against “Islamophobia.”
The White House on Monday released a “Fact Sheet” entitled “Biden-Harris Administration Takes New Actions to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate.” It claims that “over the past year, the Biden-Harris Administration has continued to take action to fight hatred and violence against Muslim and Arab communities. Members of these communities, including Palestinian Americans, have been murdered or wounded in hate-fueled attacks; shot and subjected to other assaults as they simply walked down streets; bullied at schools, including by having their religious head coverings ripped off; and denied jobs, harassed, or demoted at work merely because of their faith or ethnicity.” That sounds terrible indeed, but let’s look at the actual record.
One would get the impression from this regime “Fact Sheet” that Muslims are being victimized, brutalized, and discriminated against on a routine basis in the United States, but the FBI Crime Data Explorer paints a significantly different picture. There were, it says, 1,071 hate crimes in the past year that were classified as “Anti-Jewish.” This just edged out hate crimes that were “Anti-Black or African American” for the top spot on the hate crimes list; there were 1,068 of those.
After that, there is a steep drop-off. There were 374 “Anti-Gay (Male)” hate crimes, 296 “Anti-White” hate crimes, and so on. Finishing eighth in the hate crimes standings were “Anti-Islamic (Muslim)” hate crimes, which numbered only 140.
This means that antisemitic attacks are over seven times more frequent than anti-Muslim attacks. And remember, these numbers come from the corrupt and politicized FBI, which would love to show a spike in “Islamophobia” if it could. But it can’t.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Two things I have learned about reports of “islamophobia.”
1. CAIR and similar report anti-Sikh or anti-Hindu hate crimes as their own because the assailant was too strupid to know the difference between a muslim and a Sikh or a Hindu.
2. More than a simply a few incidents are generated by muslims themselves in order to attain sympathy.

I think I hit the reason combating islamophobia is Doug Emhoff’s pet project. He likes to assault women, and islam sanctifies assaulting women, so what’s not to love?
Reason #295874869274329487 to ensure that Kamala gets trounced next month, in a landslide if possible

Doug Emhoff knocks up the nanny who is less then half his age (I guess he at least he paid for the abortion in this little mistake flushing his off spring down the drain or into the waste basket depending on what month the deed was done ) then he publicly smacks he at the time his girl friend in line for for some “art” film in front of many witnesses. All of this would have less impact if the democrat party did not push forward that he is an example of a good family man free from the dreaded “toxic old fashion of the 1970s man ” you know the ones that knocking up the baby sitter ,and smacking around “girl friends ” when drunk in public was not seen as good behavior. It was done thru out time ,but those who did it where not held up as good examples of good male behavior by the democratic party .

Yes, this was announced in the news feed and is not to be believed. I was reading it to my daughter and she said, “if they would just leave off the “ophobia” and fight…”
One, this shows how eager the pretenders are to acquiesce to the demands of mozlums, and Two, how many mozlums there are with a say already in the ‘government.’
Truth from these people, these ‘leaders,’ is in short supply.
