From the article:
Members of the Arab and Muslim communities report numerous cases ranging from verbal harassment on the street to job firings
Here in the States, many such reported incidents have proven to be false, CAIR's claims notwithstanding.

I did check the FBI hate crime statistics. Muslims are more likely to perpetrate a hate crime then to be the victim. The last time I checked there were eight times more hate crimes commited against Jews and around six times more commited against Gay men. There were also far more crimes comitted against Blacks.
Check the FBI hate crime stats and do note that small increases on low numbers provide a huge statistical jump but are meaningless.

A point well made, and a point well taken. I agree with you that when the statistics are small anyway, then the jumps, or increases, are meaningless.
Always:
I don't know how true these reports are; but I can well imagine that there has been an increase since the problems the Canadians have had with Jihadists recently.
verbal harassment on the street to job firings
No beheadings? Wake me up when there’s real news. ;)
LOL at Jason's comment!
Tiresome Muslims, always playing the victim. They have learned which buttons to push to gain the advantage...
very sad it is.
