Hate Crimes, 2015

The following table was derived from the FBI’s report on hate crimes for the most recent year available, 2015:

Nature Number
Bias against Jews 695
Bias against Muslims 301
Bias against Christians 175
Total bias against religion 1,434

What can or cannot reasonably be surmised from that? Hate crimes against other religious sects or denominations were in single digits.

FWIW by far the greatest number of hate crimes are those perpetrated against blacks. They account for a quarter of all hate crimes, more than the total of all hate crimes perpetrated on the basis of religion.

    The prosecution or not of Hillary Clinton can be politicized, but hate crimes cannot?
