ICYMI, state Sen. John Kefalas had something besides holiday bargains on his mind on Black Friday. About the time others might have been warming leftovers for lunch, the Democrat from Fort Collins was tweeting news from the Pew Research Center showing violence against Muslims in the U.S. last year had reached a post -9/11 furor.

Researchers analyzed the lastest hate crimes statistics from the FBI and found 91 aggravated or simple assaults that were reported deemed to have been motivated by anti-Muslim bias last year.

In 2001, there were 93.

Threats of “bodily harm” against Muslims reached 120 across the country in 2015, according to Pew, the most since 296 were reported in 2001.

Colorado contributed just one anti-Islamic hate crime to the report, according to the state’s 2015 Uniform Crime Reporting data submitted to the FBI. Colorado had two in 2014 and three in 2013, according to annual reports.

There were 115 total offenses deemed hate crimes in Colorado in 2015. While that was up from the 104 that were reported the previous year, the two years marked the lowest number in the state over the past decade.

There were 30 reported hate crimes against black people, 15 deemed anti-Latino, eight against gay men, seven against Jewish people, six against lesbians and five that were classified as anti-Asian, according to the Colorado Department of Public Safety.

Nationally, was the uptick in anti-Muslim hate caused by the heated rhetoric of presidential candidate Donald Trump or violence perpetrated by radical Islam that sparked the increase? Kefalas doesn’t speculate. Pew doesn’t say. Researchers did say:

Most Americans say there is “a lot” of discrimination against Muslims in the United States today-roughly six in 10 U.S. adults (59 percent) said this in a January 2016 Pew Research Center survey. About three-quarters of Americans (76 percent) also said discrimination against Muslims in the U.S. was increasing.

The same survey found that almost half of American adults (49 percent) think at least “some” Muslims in the U.S. are anti-American, including 11 percent who think “most” or “almost all” are anti-American. Another survey from about the same time (December 2015) found that 46 percent of Americans thought Islam was more likely than other religions to encourage violence.

FBI data for 2016 will not be released until next year, but there have been anecdotal reports of a continued rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes this year. While not all incidents can be confirmed, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil-rights advocacy group that tracks hate crimes, reported more than 30 cases of anti-Muslim incidents in the five days following the presidential election alone.
