#2 Yes, yes, a veritable "living hell" for them, I'll bet.
Yet, while I notice not so many leaving it, I see many noticeably entering it. Why would that be?

#3 US Muslims 'face growing discrimination'

Pronounced by the stereotypical Donk desperately seeking another 'victimhood' special interest group to clad to the fracturing alliance of the party's base. Notice the Donks have no problem broad brushing and demonizing Tea Party members, gun clingers, bible thumpers, Right to Work'ers, etc.

#5 ...I'm starting to suspect that the Government's definition of discrimination is 'thinking the word Muslim'.

#6 Mooselimbs do not discriminate. Only against Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Persians, Females, Gays, Sunni, Shia, work, pork, dogs, music, and education.

STFU

#8 More than 800 incidents of violence, vandalism and arson against people believed to be Mohammedan, Arab or South Asian, have been investigated by the justice department in the past 10 years.

1) this is NATIONAL.
2) This includes non-islamic arabs and south asians (which I suspect includes Indians).
3) this is over 10 years.
4) this is 'investigated reports' not 'proven reports'. Given the Muslim perchance to play the victim card and call wolf...

I would say this amounts to no more that 3-4 against Islamics specifically - Nationwide - per year.

Pretty damn small. Very small in fact. I would suggest that Christians face more discrimination in the United States than Muslims.

What are the figure for Jews in the U.S. over the same period?

What are the figures for Jews, or Christians in, for example, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Iran / Iraq over the same period - per capita?

This report is full of shit - but what did you expect from Turban Durban?

#9 Muslim citizens of the United States face growing discrimination in daily life, manifesting itself in violence, vandalism and arson, a US congressional panel has been told.

Paranoid Muslims in the United States go bugfugnuts manifesting itself in jihad against infidels, shootings by muslim military shrinks, attempted bombings of commercial airliners, and taking down the WTCs and Pentagon.

Fixed that for you.

#10 What are the figure for Jews in the U.S. over the same period?

CrazyFool, according to the FBI hate crime statistics for 2009,

[I]n 2009 there were 8,336 victims of hate crimes. 48.8 percent of those victims were targeted because of a racial bias, 18.9 percent because of a religious bias, and 17.8 percent because of a bias against a persons sexual orientation.

Of the 1,575 victims of a religious bias, over 70 percent were victims of an anti-Jewish bias. The second highest group, at 8.4 percent, were the victims of an anti-Muslim bias.

#11 Someone should tell Al Jazeera that Mohammedan's is a term that is no longer used in police society as it might be seen as offensive by Muslims. /snark

#12 Why in 2001 there were over 2,977 acts of violence by Muslims against US citizens in one day. Durbin is clearly a representative of his party - a jackass.
