How about the US government rounding up hundreds of "Arabs" in the post-9/11 days, and incarcerating them without access to a lawyer, without even telling their families, without charging them, etc.? (Yet somehow the prime suspect in the Anthrax-case isn't touched by the police despite there being a pile of evidence pointing in his direction.) And there's a NY organisation that specifically deals with 9/11 related hate crimes. still looking for stats. come on Mr. Google, i know you can do it. U.S. Officials Should Have Been Better Prepared For Hate Crime Wave Anti-Muslim Bias Crimes Rose 1700 Percent After September 11 Public officials tried vigorously to contain a wave of hate crimes in the United States after September 11, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Nevertheless, anti-Muslim hate crimes in the United States rose 1700 percent during 2001. The report documents anti-Arab and anti-Muslim violence and the local, state and federal response to it.
