Hate crimes down in Canada, but Muslims more frequently targeted

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

How do they know how many are not reported? That's always confused me.

A whopping 50% more are imagined.

So....is it a hate crime if I say I hate fascism and those that follow that philosophy?

I hate it when you do that.

Make sense that is. I probably should have specified that part.

There were 17 per cent fewer hate crime incidents reported to police in Canada in 2013 compared with 2012,
Statistics Canada says a total of 1,167 hate crimes were reported to police in 2013. race or ethnicity accounted for 51 per cent of all hate crime incidents. Religious hate crimes accounted for another 28 per cent, sexual orientation accounted for 16 per cent of incidents.

Black populations, for example, were still the most frequently targeted, making up 22 per cent of all hate crimes.

Jewish populations are also still the most common target in religiously motivated hate crime.

There were 93 fewer religion-motivated hate crime incidents reported in 2013 compared with 2012. Decreases were noted in crimes targeting every religious group except Muslim populations, who saw 20 more incidents in 2013 compared to 2012.

The vast majority of hate crimes in Canada – 97 per cent -- occurred in major cities. But the highest rates of hate crime in 2013 were in Thunder Bay, with 20.9 incidents per 100,000 population, and Hamilton, with 17.4 per 100,000 population.

Looks like somebody has been playing with their pencils. 28% 0f 1167 is 326 for all religions . Some groups really have no shame at all.
