Why do Sikhs also experience anti-Muslim violence and hate?

A decision not to charge a 17-year-old with a hate crime contradicts Illinois hate crimes law, according to the Sikh Coalition. On September 8, Inderjit Singh Mukker, 53, and a father of two, faced of torrent of racist abuse when driving down a Chicago suburb. Shouts of “Terrorist!” “Bin Laden!” “Go back to your country!”came from the car behind. Mukker pulled over when the vehicle began tailgaiting; instead of passing by, the driver got out and reached into Mukker’s car to assault him. The Coalition claim that Mukker required treatment for a fractured cheekbone, bruising and blood loss and six stitches for the lacerations on his face.

Spectator is Simply Wrong on This. Anti-Muslim Hate (vs) Anti-Semitism is Not a Competition

Do media outlets and leftists care more about Islamophobia than antisemitism? Brendan O’Neill made the case in a recent Spectator column; yet the article is a rather lazy and divisive argument. There is a fundamental problem with O’Neill’s point that media outlets ignored the larger increase in antisemitic hate crime in London. He ignored the

ClickBait Tactics of Britain First Around Rotherham Are Deeply Inflammatory

Britain First’s on-line tactics are concerning and reflective of the manipulative manner in which they attempt to build their on-line presence and ultimately, raise more money from the merchandising of their materials.
