Jews today and past

Attacks against Jewish people  accounted for 58.1 percent of crimes motivated by anti-religious bias last year, a 4-percent increase from 2016, while anti-Muslim crimes were down. Anti-Muslim offenses accounted for 24.8 percent of anti-religious hate crimes in 2016 compared with 18.7 percent in 2017. Anti-Islamic crimes continue to remain at historic levels. There are 3.6 million Muslims and 4.2 million Jews in the United States. While these acts against Muslims are relatively new, the Jews have had to contend with this for 4,000 years.
