Explaination of a graph.

In this blog I would be explaining a graph and given my personal opinion about it. First, I will tell you what the graph represents. The graph shows the amount of anti-Islamic hate crime incidents between 1995-2008. The rate of crime incidents ranged from 21-32 between 1995-2000. The rate however skyrocketed to 481 in 2001. In 2002 he rate went back down to 155 from there it started a trend of going up and down. For example in 2003 it was down at 149 by 2004 it went back up to 156 and than the following year it goes down again and than back up. We can relate this to Zeitoun where this chart points out race. Why couldn't it just be hate crime incidents among all race, not anti-Islamic or black, Hispanic. Zeitoun was a Muslim man detained suspected of being a terrorist. They thought he was working with AL Quaeda. He was mistreated for being himself basically. I don't believe for a second a white man would have been treated in such manner. It goes to show that you have to be careful being in your own skin because you can be accused of doing things you probably wouldn't even think of because you are different.
