Mike Malloy - Hate Crimes Against Muslims Have Tripled In U.S.



Americans may fear the threat of international terrorism, but Muslims in the U.S. are facing terror at home.

Hate crimes against Muslim Americans have tripled since the attacks in Paris on Nov. 13, and the terror attack in San Bernardino has exacerbated the problem, The New York Times report found.

Working with the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, the Times found that there are, on average, 12.6 suspected hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S. per month, based on FBI data.

This month has been anything but average. Hate crimes against Muslims tripled since Nov. 13, with 38 attacks deemed anti-Islamic in nature. Eighteen of those attacks happened after the shooting in San Barnardino on Dec. 2 that left 14 people dead.
