Report: Rights violations against Muslims rise
By: Mohamed Ali
NEWARK, N.J.: A report finds that the number of
reported bias crimes and civil rights violations committed
against Muslims in the United States soared to its highest
level last year since the period immediately after the
September 11 terror attacks.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations
in its report blamed the trend on lingering animosity
toward Muslims and a growing use of anti-Muslim rhetoric
by some political, religious and media figures.
The council counted 1522 incidents in which Muslims
reported their civil rights had been violated in 2004, a
49% increase over 2003. Another 141 incidents of confirmed
or suspected bias crimes were committed against Muslims –
a 52% rise.

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
