Have they caught up with the anti-Jewish numbers yet? Almost 60% of anti-religious violence was directed against Jews in the latest FBI study.
But here's the very liberal Southern Poverty Law Center on it:
The actual totals of anti-Muslim hate crimes — from 135 in 2013 to 154 in 2014 — were not dramatic for a country of close to 320 million people.

Which is kind of where I'm at with it. Obviously, anti-religious violence is always condemnable, but in a country our size the numbers aren't really alarming. So no, I'm not going to get hysterical over it.
Another thing, I know how important it is for you [and the media] to pin that on Trump. But the uptick also coincides with an increase in 'anti-infidel' violence on the part of Muslims. Which, for some odd reason, hardly ever gets mentioned by the liberal press.
San Bernardino; the spate of Muslim violence against US citizens; ISIS; not to mention Muslim instigated violence in Europe are possible contributing factors.
So no Thing, I don't think it's alarming and I see no need to blame Trump for it. Maybe, if some Muslims and Muslims groups were less violent, we'd see a drop in anti-Muslim violence.
Trump is a man of words, after all lol. Some of them are dirty, too.
