Anti-Islamic Hate Crime chart

     A chart about Anti-Islamic hate crime incidents shows the range of incidents from 1995-2008. In the chart from 1995-2000 the incidents are at it's lowest and are stable. In 2001 incidents are at it's highest 481/500, the incidents decrease from 2002-2008 but are still higher then incidents before 2001. This is really important because more people need to be aware about the hate crimes that are going on, also Islamic people may find this information helpful. I think that the increase in Anti-Islamic hate crimes in 2001 has a lot to do with 9/11 which also caused the increase in hate crimes the years after it. This information also makes me believe that a lot of what happened to Zeitoun has to do with his religion and how he appears since you can clearly see the epidemic of hate crimes going on. One part of the chart I was unclear about was the side the ranges from 0-500, I wasn't sure if the range meant out of the total population or the amount of people that are Islamic and experienced hate crimes.
