Where's Attorney General Lynch's Concern For The (Actually) Most Discriminated-Against?
While Loretta Lynch says she'll stand up for Muslim children bullied at school, the FBI's stats tell a different story about who's actually discriminated against for their religion.
Religious bias Of the 1,223 victims of anti-religious hate crimes:60.3 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders' anti-Jewish bias.
13.7 percent were victims of anti-Islamic (Muslim) bias.
6.1 percent were victims of anti-Catholic bias.
4.3 percent were victims of bias against groups of individuals of varying religions (anti-multiple religions, group).
3.8 percent were victims of anti-Protestant bias.
0.6 percent were victims of anti-Atheist/Agnostic bias.
11.2 percent were victims of bias against other religions (anti-other religion).
So, 60.3 percent of the victims of these "hate crimes" were Jewish and 13.7 percent were Muslim. Kind of fucks up the AG's narrative, huh?
Maybe the discussion we should be having is "What is Islam?" (and not according to those who want to believe it calls for peace, love, and butterflies, but what it's really about). Looking at Islam closely leads to the understanding that it is a religion that calls for violence against non-Muslims and rewards it heavily -- with an express path to salvation and special rewards for slaughtering the "infidel."
Lovely.
Oh, and naturally, per Dr. Susan Berry at Breitbart:
The education department defines "bullying" very broadly, justifying federal intervention in many schoolyard disputes or political arguments among teenagers:"Bullying is defined as a form of unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-age children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance and that is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time... Verbal bullying is a form of intentional aggression that involves saying or writing things that are mean or hurtful to others."
Free speech to criticize Islam?
Um, nuh-uh!
My wife and I have a running joke that we're everyone's worst nightmare: armed Jews.

Love that.

Be careful. Lynch has threatened to prosecute anyone who is too critical of Islam. She's also described the San Bernadino attack as a 'wonderful' opportunity - for her fascist agenda of course.

Reminds me of the great line by Ellen DeGeneres when she hosted the first post 9/11 Academy Awards: "I feel like I'm in a unique position as host, because think about it — what would bug the Taliban more than seeing a gay woman in a suit surrounded by Jews?"

I must not see things right, because based on the Jews I know, I'm much more comfortable with Jews carrying weapons than I am with the typical redneck hick who owns a gun collection more expensive than his mobile home and five cars that won't start in his front yard.
Patrick at December 5, 2015 11:25 AM
Nor is she concerned with calls for armed attacks on 'White People', like the Islamic Terrorist Louis Farrakhan made, calling for 10,000 men to "Kill Whitey".
America is in its last days, when the shooting stops there will be nothing left of this country. The best we can hope for is that some of the many countries standing where America was will have the same kind of principles that America was supposed to have.

There ya go, stereotyping us poor backwoods uneducated hicks again.
Just as glad you aren't the one deciding who deserves to carry a gun and who doesn't, Loretta.

"I must not see things right,..."
You don't. How far is this, really, from the opinions of those public officials like the Attorney General, who propose to choose which rights the public are allowed?

Patrick, you gave a perfect example of why 'common-sense' is not a good logical process.
Who hunts, shoots, will jump to protect innocents due to their 'culture', values their 'heritage'?
If you say Liberals/Dems I say you speak wishfully.
If you say "professionals" I say you speak of 'rednecks' that have chosen that profession.
Let the rednecks decide who are their peers in this fight and you might be surprised at how inclusive they are ("Can you shoot?")

Can you reload or make ammo counts too Bob.

She's just confused. She thinks she's the Attorney General of the IS.

Incidentally this data needs to be corrected for population size. Doing so would highlight the anti-Jewish sentiments further. They are only 2% of the US population.
I also found it interesting that for all the whining Atheists do about being discriminated against they really don't show here. At 0.6% of incidents and 16% of the population they really have nothing to complain about.
Ben at December 7, 2015 7:19 PM
Apologies. I misread the table on religious populations in the US. Atheists/Agnostic count as 7.1%, not 16%. Unafiliated (Atheist/Agnostic/Nothing in particular) are 23%.
Doesn't change my point, but correctness counts.
Ben at December 7, 2015 7:23 PM
Most atheists dont claim to be discriminates against individually.
But as a whole, along with nearly every other religious adherent outside of christianity when local, regional, state, and federal agencies spend money needlessly on blatantly christian iconography.
Or require attendance in a religious activity in order to gain access to welfare, or criminal diversion programs, or other governemnt funded aid
