Attacks Rise Vs. French Jews and Muslims

<Jews and Muslims were the main victims of 1,565 recorded threats and violent attacks in 2004, up from 833 a year earlier, according to the National Consultative Commission of Human Rights annual report, which was being submitted Monday to Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin.

Anti-Semitic acts rose to 970, compared with 601 the year before, the report said. Most attackers were from an "Arab-Muslim background," the newspaper Liberation reported.

Schools were an area where anti-Semitic incidents were "very present," the report noted, adding that "anti-Semitism is becoming established in a continuous and lasting manner."

Threats and attacks against Muslims more than doubled to 595 last year, up from 232, with the majority committed by far-right supporters.

The report underlined a "re-emergence of the far right" in France amid domestic debates on immigration and secularism at school as well as EU-wide concerns about whether to admit Turkey into the European Union and the fear of terror attacks by Islamic fundamentalists.>

This is clearly propagandistic nonsense; unless, of course, people in Europe are really just about the same as people here in the United States.

but I don't think that means we are doomed. We could be making wiser choices.

what i would like to know are the attacks upon the whole of the human race and not any particular segment of that race----gives a distorted picture of our world as we see it---where do i find how many attacks happened again the other huge percentage of people living in france---thanking you in advance for your help
