I wonder what it is in our dna that we become American and automatically turn racist. It's like a zombie virus or some s hit. Probably the same people who wanted to turn in 5 year olds to ice.
Reports of anti-Muslim hate crimes and bias incidents have reached record levels in the United States, exacerbated by a deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego on May 18, 2026. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported that complaints reached an all-time high of 8,683 in 2025—the highest number since tracking began in 1996.
Recent trends and significant incidents contributing to this rise include:
San Diego Mosque Attack (May 2026): Two teenage suspects, aged 17 and 18, opened fire at the Islamic Center of San Diego, killing three people before taking their own lives. The FBI is investigating the shooting as a hate crime linked to "generalized hate rhetoric" and white supremacist extremism found in the suspects' online activity.
Surge Linked to Global Conflict: Advocacy groups and researchers note that Islamophobia frequently surges during overseas conflicts. The war in Gaza and more recent tensions involving Iran in early 2026 have fueled a sharp increase in anti-Muslim sentiment online and offline.
Political Rhetoric: Increased anti-Muslim messaging among some elected officials, such as recent congressional hearings titled "Sharia-Free America," has been cited as a primary driver for the current environment of fear.Institutional Targeting: In 2025 alone, CAIR documented 33 incidents explicitly targeting Islamic institutions, including mosques and community centers.
Online Extremism: Research by the Center for the Study of Organized Hate found that Islamophobic posts on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) tripled during recent periods of conflict, rising from 2,000 to 6,000 daily posts.
See, the problem is, we're fighting an evolutionary relic. A holdover from a time when our survival depended on all humans looking alike.
It's kind of like zebras.
A number of years ago, researchers tried an experiment. They would follow a herd of zebras, dart one zebra, and paint a green stripe on the zebra. Then they would put the zebra back with its herd and observe. Every time they did this, the green zebra would be the next one to get eaten when they were attacked by lions.
Thousands of years ago, humans who looked or acted differently were just as much at risk from predators as a zebra painted green. If you didn't blend in perfectly with the herd, the lions would get you. And so humans learned to reject those humans who looked funny, or acted funny. Humans of a different color, or humans whose physical movements weren't the same as the rest of the herd.
As people evolved, this instinct didn't go away, because there was no need for it to. Instead, it became more subtle, extending to include religious beliefs. That didn't serve a practical purpose, but it also didn't reduce the viability of the species, so it stuck around.
It's really only now, in the digital age, that it is starting to become a disadvantage evolutionarily. Which means, sadly, it could be centuries before it goes away.
@DeWayfarer I was being somewhat facetious. It was more like a hundred thousand, but again, there was no need for the tendency to be weeded out, because each region had humans who looked like one another, but who looked different from the humans in the other regions.
@LordShadowfire At the rate we are going (Trump coming in) we devolving more and faster than evolving and will need every bit of your own 100, 000 years to change. That is what the digital age has done for us. It works both ways faster.
What took Obama three years to implement (DEI), took Trump six months to get rid of and a whole lot more back to Kennedy. At this rate we'll be back in the 1920s with women's rights next year. We are already in the great depression because of Trump's WWII with Iran.
@pride49 it's about me when you have no actual point. It's often about me. Crime's down, but what the hell kind of bully admits things I say? You're doing this normie style, I'm shadow banned everywhere! There's fake accounts and far right voices leading the empire to its final explosion. Good for you!
crimes is down, including violent crime. Seems like there's desperation to pretend otherwise

@SatanBurger reports. I bet I can get my employees to write thousands of negative,"reports" on you. We'd easily get you fired if you had a job! Revenge against reports is so normal! Or not.
@Roundandroundwego I said you weren't allowed your own facts don't know why you think you got a choice 🤔

@SatanBurger reports? I can't find thousands of reports against you if I just ask my inferior employees to write them. Shouldn't we need a conviction before we start your sentence or our retaliation? Just reports? Floundering around and made? Report that.
Thanks to the algorithms of the internet polarizing people. For example there is a user here who must spend 80% of her time reposting "jihadwatch" news.
@Roundandroundwego You aren't allowed you're own facts sorry. It is very possible that crime overall has been down but Trump came into office and you can look up real time statistics where hate crimes surged due to this narratives, it's absolutely true hate crimes are now more.
