Jews are a larger population and have better political connections allowing more items to come up than Muslims, so its natural for it to be larger. Additionally, it doesn't take away that post2001 attacks on Muslims are FAR higher than they were before and during times with media created frenzies like this absurd issue with the Mosque they increase again. You're just minimalizing that which you disagree with. |
There are 6.5 million Jewish Americans and, depending on who you believe, 2-3 million Muslim Americans. Jonah's point is that Jews are far more frequently targeted - and disproportionately so - but the media never really makes much of it. Certainly nothing on the scale of their recent Islamophobiaphobia.
