ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE IN FRANCE: This story says there were 360 incidents last month. Something comparing it with, say, April 2001 would have been nice. What do they teach them in J-school nowadays?

It might be more instructive to compare with incidents in the US, as reported by CAIR, hardly a site that can be accused of pro-US bias.
CAIR has stats on reported incidents of all kinds “anti-Muslim” incidents since 9/11. They have a breakdown by category at [this link], and by state [here]. In NY and DC there have been, respectively, 116 and 113 reported anti-Muslim incidents of all sorts, including airport profiling and discrimination in the workplace. There are (I believe) more Muslims in Michigan than Jews in France, and CAIR has only 28 reported incidents of any sort since 9/11. I am not sure I care if it is worse to be a Jew in France today than it was a year ago. I want to know why it is worse to be a Jew in France now or a year ago than to be a Muslim in America post 9/11.
