Report: Anti-Muslim Incidents Doubled Last Year

From Jawa:

Did I say muslim? I meant anti-Semitic.

For the first time in the report's history, incidents carried out by Muslims eclipsed those by right-wing extremists in cases where the perpetrator was identified, the report said.

Incidents in Britain shot up to 374 from 112 in 2008, and to 195 from 50 in France.

The United States registered only a slight increase, according to the study[?]

Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress, which sponsors the report, said that the rise of anti-Semitic sentiment in Western Europe can be blamed on forces outside the region.

"This new phenomenon is financed and organized by pro-Islamic, pro-terrorist organizations and states," Kantor said.

The university issued its report on the eve of Israel's annual memorial day for the 6 million Jews killed in the Nazi Holocaust.

Islam, the only religion if you leave it, the sentence is death.

Of course, the WaPo chooses to ignore the rise of anti-Semitism here in the United States.

I wonder what the numbers are, AOW.

I know we've reported on some of it before, but I don't remember a comprehensive story.
