For all the hemming and hawing you hear about "rising" anti-Islamic crime in this country the reality is being Muslim in the United States is a picnic compared to being Jewish.
For the year 2008, the last we have data for, there were 1519 incidents of "hate crimes" committed against person(s) based upon their religion:
6.9% were directed towards Muslims;
8.6% were directed towards Christians;
0.9% were directed towards atheists/agnostics
66.7% were directed towards Jews.
Based upon the total number of adherents for the various faiths we can say that in 2008:
1 out of every 12,848 Muslims was the victim of a hate crime;
1 out of every 1,323,679 Christians was the victim of a hate crime;
1 out of every 257,571 atheists/agnostics was the victim of a hate crime;
1 out of every 2646 Jews was the victim of a hate crime;
It's funny how you never hear the left complaining about anti-Semitism, isn't it?
