https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=&w=1484Law enforcement agencies across the country reported 257 anti-Muslim incidents last year, an increase of nearly 67 percent from 2014, according to recent FBI data.
Overall, hate crimes increased by 6.7 percent from 2014 to 2015. Anti-black and anti-Jewish incidents rose by about 7.6 and 9 percent, respectively, according to the FBI.

More than 100 anti-Muslim incidents have occurred since the presidential election, according to CAIRs national office. The Southern Poverty Law Center, a hate-watch group, has tallied more than 700 incidents of harassment from Nov. 9 to Nov. 16. Many appear to have been made in Trumps name and were directed at immigrants, African Americans and Muslims. The center cautions that not all incidents have direct references to the president-elect and that not every report could be immediately verified.

Stay safe. This is an incredibly volatile time. If you are not white, straight and male you are no longer safe in this country. That is a fact.

(83,754 posts)I doubt they will be stopped and frisked. I doubt many will be beaten by their spouse and since the con advocate's VAW...doubt they will suffer much or pay the price. I am sure they will not be confined by a wall to keep them out of this country. I am sure they will not be shot unarmed. LGBT is in for going to suffer so much pain when their right to love and family is taken away. Women will not be allowed a right to chose or even be allowed basic healthcare. A woman can not make the choice for an abortion or get birth control....yet a man can get Viagra. Do you see the disconnect here? This is so fucked up.
I doubt they will suffer at all.

(9,678 posts)Not by Trump directly but by a hooded band of his rabid supporters. Probably in a Muslim big city ghetto. Businesses windows could be shattered and graffiti painted everywhere denigrating Muslims. I hope this doesn't happen but I won't be shocked if it does. The media will say "no one saw this coming."
