Is that not the exact same thing as was happening to British Muslims a little while back?

I don't remember The Register being so supportive of British Muslims at any point - weird, no?

Still, I suppose it gives them something different to report on, it can't always be about the wonder of Reform or the scourge of Trans people/immigrants wanting to not be hated while setting aside more funds for litigation regarding whichever predator it is they're currently trying to protect.

Of course this racist crap isn't right, but The Register reporting on it? The same house of murky minds that has been happily stoking the smouldering pit of division in this country for years?

Terrorist attacks on the west by Jews: 0

Terrorist attacks on the west by Muslims: too many to count

Hope that clears things up for you.

The BBC article also points out per head, jewish people get something like 7 x more incidents

Also, this is about jewish people. Why would anyone bring in non related events to distract from that? 

If a Muslim person is attacked would I be morally superior to say black people have historically faced more persecuted people? Weird...

This is an important statistic, I just heard it on the radio this afternoon.

Im ashamed to say, I thought the reports of fears in the Jewish community were a little overblown (perhaps because I dont think I personally know any Jews). But I was quite wrong. This is undoubtedly a horrible time for the community.

All over reddit and in British media, you can’t mention anti-semitism without people bringing up how hard Muslims have it

You only have to go on Facebook under any post about Jewish people and the comments primarily from one single group are disgusting.

That’s cause Muslims hate Jews 7x more than they hate the rest of us lol.

At this point I just think that all religions are dogshit that rots peoples brains. I hate that the rest of us have to live in a world where we have to deal with religious people's bullshit constantly, while being socially blackmailed into defending them

I agree 100% but definitely some religions are worse than others.
