Hate crimes directed against a person's religion decreased in 2007, except against Jewish people according to the FBI's 2007 Hate Crimes Statistics reported in USA Today.
In 2006, the FBI reported 1,597 hate crimes motivated by a religious bias. That figure dropped to 1,477 in 2007, according to the report.
Of the religiously based hate crimes, attacks against Jews rose from 64% in 2006 to 68% in 2007. Anti-Muslim hate crimes, meanwhile, decreased from 12% in 2006 to 9% in 2007.
"Antisemitism, like some other principles within Islam, injects bias among certain cultures," asserts Brown Univ. expert Dr. Andrew Bostom.
Hate crimes against Catholics accounted for 4% of the reported hate crimes motivated by religious biases — down from 5% in 2006. Four percent of the hate crimes were motivated by anti-Protestant biases, and 9% were against other religions.
Of the reported hate crimes motivated by religious bias, 26% occurred in or near residences or homes; 18% occurred in churches, synagogues or temples; and 12% occurred in schools or colleges.

'A tolerant West should assume a zero- tolerance policy against Islamic supremacism,' Aussie PM John Howard visiting U.S. Museum of Tolerance
Lessons-learned: Liberal Europe's trusting that appeasing Nazi Germany by ceding the Sudentenland would keep them safe from Nazi imperialism - ought to be applied today in strategies towards Islamism,' advises Aussie former-Prime Minister John Howard, who spoke 26 September at L.A.'s Museum of Tolerance.
"They have infinite patience, as well as infinite hostility," he said. "Never surrender when you're confronted with evil. We have to maintain a vigilance, we have to persevere."
The folly of Western liberalism to hope appeasing aggressors to avoid war (gleaned from Neville Chamberlain's Munich Agreement to concede Czechoslovakia's Sudentenland to Herr Hitler) actually results in more painful, costly war later. This should guide Western policies toward modern Islamism, Mr. Howard believes.
Mr. Howard claims that the West shouldn't appease, but adopt and maintain a vigilant, cultural and military resistance against tyrannical and imperialist Islamism. He is introduced by Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean at Simon Wiesenthal Center). Museum of Tolerance's Director, Liebe Geft, toured PM Howard around the Museum, a testament that Western Europe's naive tolerance of supremacist Nazism cost Europe the world's largest loss of life in human history, World War II and the Holocaust.
