Why No Hate Crime?

Reverse the below scenario and tell me if in any way in hell that the crime reported would be classified as a hate crime in the third degree without question or debate were the ethnicities and religions of the participants reversed. Once again Christianity and Christians are attacked and yet law enforcement and public reaction is a mere" whatever..... so what....."

Chicago Area Islamophobe Charged With Hate Crimes after Peace Loving Muslim Pummeled Unnecessarily

"Chicago Illinois resident Chicagoray was arrested and held on no bail arising from an attack that began with Mr Achmed Muhammad requested that Mr. Ray increase the amount of the tip that he had given, complaining that"you white infidels people never be tip too very well" resulting in Chicagoray calling his hired cabbie a "Filthy Towel headed Camel Jockey" before pummeling his turban covered skull into the hood of his cab according to police reports and witnesses to the event."

He is charged with assault and battery along with upgraded federal hate crime charges related to the ethnic slurs used while attacking Mr Muhammad, indicating a predisposed intense dislike for male Muslims that led to the severe beating.

That's what the story and charges would look like if the above situation were reversed, you can bet on that. There would be representatives from CAIR all over the news complaining about discrimination, racism, Islamophobia and hatred towards Muslims since 9-11, blah bla blah blah until they were green in the face.

But when a Muslim cabbie runs down Christians we get nothing, not even hate charges filed when it's obvious the above wack cabbie attacked them due to their religious convictions. We'll be keepin an eye on this story for sure. filed under Religion of peace, Religious Persecution
