Stop the Hating

Hate Crime Rates Increase

Although it may seem as though people are generally more understanding and tolerant about different religions, new FBI data found that the rates of religion based hate crimes has increased since 2001. Religion based hate crimes account for 20% of hate crimes. Two-thirds of all religious bias crimes were against the Jewish community, the largest number of crimes against Jews since 2001.

It is time for the public to become more educated and tolerant about religion. There is no reason that we can not all live peacefully amongst each other despite ideological differences.
