In Britain right now, one in 400 Jews is likely to be the victim of a “faith-related” attack in Britain every year.
One in 1,700 Muslims is likely to be a victim of a faith-related attack, according to Tom Harper and Ben Leapman.
In London and Manchester, where Muslims outnumber Jews by four to one, anti-Semitic offenses exceeded anti-Muslim offenses. The figures do not record the faith of the offenders.
Here is the record of merely one anti-Semitic incident.
Rabbi Alex Chapper, 33, was the victim of a faith-related hate crime in July 2005.
He was returning from a synagogue in Ilford, East London, with three Jewish friends after conducting a service. Seven Asian teenagers followed them down the road shouting "Yehudi," which means Jew in Arabic and Urdu. One of them shouted, "We are Pakistani, you are Jewish. We are going to kill you," before punching Mr. Chapper in the face and hitting one of his friends over the head with a bottle.
The youths ran off when someone threatened to call the police. Mr. Chapper and his friends identified the youths to the police, but they were never prosecuted.
"They just did not seem interested. I feel very let down," he said.
Oh well, they were probably asking for it. And anyway, they were infidels. What do you expect good young Muslim youths to do?
The fact is that young men have a predilection for violence. It is the duty of society, through families, churches, associations, and government to socialize them away from violence into more beneficial channels.
Somehow it doesn’t seem like the welfare-state societies of Europe are doing a very good job of this.
