Hate such a strong word

This graph just goes to show you how an increase of fear can influence violence.Has the graph shows through the years there have been few hate crimes against the Islamic race. Then came September 9th 2001 when is was believed that Islamic terrorist hijacked an airline and drove it into the twin towers killing hundreds and injuring thousands.Now this tension increased the fear of this race tremendously and now everyone who is or was associated with that group is looked upon to have to same motive.Thus creating fear among the common folk which leads to racial profiling and unnecessary violence in other words hate crimes.So for that year of 2001 hate crime for the Islamic race was at an all time high.Following the years after it had a steady decrease but never back to how low has it used to be.So the graph depicts the change of increase and decrease in hate rather well I would say this is the world we live now.We fear the unknown .Such has in Zeitoun when he was arrested, the officer or military personnel at the time asked for his I.D.Zeitoun handed it over and because of how he had looked he didn't bother to look at it he just took it away has a means of him not having identification .In other words a hate crime ,I do not care that you are out here helping people doing my job you look like a terrorist so I'm going to treat you like one.Perfect example of a hate crime and with out I.D Zeitoun is ceseptable to any type of treatment they saw fit. In other words cruel and unusual punishment.They fear of the unknown is mans greates Phobia.
