Since COVID, the climb in antisemitic hate crimes has been dramatic. In 2023, there was a spike in anti-Muslim hate crimes as well, but then in 2024 there was a sharp divergence - the anti-Muslim hate crimes went way down while the anti-Jewish ones kept going up.
In 2024, anti-Jewish hate crimes were 60% of all anti-religious hate crimes in Michigan.
Michigan is an interesting case because it has a large Muslim population - about 240,000, double the Jewish population. This means that the average Jew in Michigan is about eight times more likely to be a hate crime victim than the average Muslim.
The types of crimes between the two groups are also quite different.
20 of the 77 anti-Jewish hate crimes were directed at destroying or damaging property - compared to zero of the anti-Muslim hate crimes. And six of the antisemitic crimes were for aggravated/felonious assault, again compared to zero for the anti-Muslim crimes. Meaning that antisemitism in Michigan is much more violent and much more directed to Jews as a group than anti-Muslim crimes.
The bottom line is that Jews in Michigan have to protect themselves - place locks and gates around synagogues, worry about being attacked for visible signs of religion - while Muslims are pretty free to walk around and worship without fear.
The media still pretends that "Islamophobia" and antisemitism are similar. They are not. They are quantitively and qualitatively different, and putting them in the same bucket is minimizing the real problem that Jews in America are increasingly vulnerable to attack.
