Executive Summary
"True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else."1
-- Clarence Darrow
Nearly four years removed from the 9/11 terror attacks, the greatest tragedy
to befall our
nation in modern history, our country has learned certain lessons that will
hopefully lead us to a
stronger, safer and more vibrant society for people of all races, faiths and
cultures.
Since the 9/11 attacks, the most disturbing legal
trend is the growing disparity in how American Muslims
are being treated under the law on many different levels.
In order to fully understand the status of civil
rights in the post-9/11 era, it is essential that this report
offer a documented historical overview of major federal
law enforcement initiatives, high-profile national cases
and statistical evidence of anti-Muslim discrimination in CAIR candlelight
vigil commemorating 9/11 victims
the United States, particularly those incidents that occurred during the
last calendar year of 2004.
In 2004, CAIR processed a total of 1,522 incident reports of civil rights
cases compared to
1,019 cases reported to CAIR in 2003. This constitutes a 49 percent increase
in the reported cases
of harassment, violence and discriminatory treatment from 2003 and marks the
highest number of
Muslim civil rights cases ever reported to CAIR in our eleven year history.
In addition, CAIR received 141 reports of actual and potential violent
anti-Muslim hate
crimes, a 52 percent increase from the 93 reports received in 2003.
Overall, 10 states alone accounted for almost 79 percent of all reported
incidents to CAIR
in 2004. These ten states include: California (20.17%), New York (10.11%),
Arizona (9.26%),
Virginia (7.16%), Texas (6.83%), Florida (6.77%), Ohio (5.32%), Maryland
(5.26%), New
Jersey (4.53%) and Illinois (2.96%).
There have also been decreases, both in real and proportional terms, in
certain categories
from the previous year as well. For example, workplace discrimination
complaints to CAIR
constituted nearly 23 percent of complaints in 2003. In 2004, the number of
workplace
discrimination complaints decreased to almost 18 percent of the total
complaints.
In addition, complaints involving governmental agencies decreased from 29
percent in 2003
to 19 percent in 2004. Internet harassment of American Muslims also
decreased from 7 percent of
total complaints in 2003 to less than 1 percent of total reported complaints
in 2004.
By far the greatest increase from last year, in both real and proportional
terms, occurred in
the area of unreasonable arrests, detentions, searches/seizures and
interrogations.
In 2003, complaints concerning law
enforcement techniques accounted for only 7
percent of all reported incidents. In 2004, however,
these reports rose to almost 26 percent of all
reported cases to CAIR.
Although not a scientific study, there are
several factors which may have contributed to the
increase in total number of reports to CAIR over
the past year. These include, but are not limited to,
the following: CAIR 2004 Civil Rights Press Conference at National Press
Club
1. An ongoing and lingering atmosphere of fear since the September 11
attacks
against American Muslims, Arabs and South Asians;
2. The growing use of anti-Muslim rhetoric by some local and national
opinion
leaders;
3. Local Muslim communities, through the opening of new CAIR chapters and
regional offices, now have more mechanisms to monitor and report incidents
to
CAIR at the grassroots level;
4. Following the infamous legacy of the USA PATRIOT Act, other federal
legislation and policies which severely infringe on the civil and
constitutional
rights of all Americans continue to be passed;
5. Increased public awareness about civil liberties and the impact of
federal law
enforcement initiatives on constitutional and civil rights.
In our conclusion, CAIR recommends that further congressional inquiries,
inspector general
reports from federal agencies and impact litigation continue to be used to
ensure that the civil and
legal rights of all Americans are never placed in jeopardy again.

 
Solito titolo del ca**o di Namib che non ha nulla a che fare con il
rapporto che cita. :)

#_...e perche`mai!?
Io leggo contenuti di razzismo, leggo contenuti riguardanti a mussulmani e
leggo contenuti che sono contenuti in USA.
Tu li leggi o passi?
Io, malgrado tutto, cerco sempre un dialogo con te, nel chimerico tentativo
che tu sia recuperabile ad un discorso.
