A United States government report says hate crimes against Muslims in America rose 67 percent in 2015.
美國政府一份報告稱,2015年美國針對穆斯林的仇恨犯罪上升了67%。

The number has not been that high since 2001, which saw 481 incidents against Muslims. Many of the incidents followed the September 11 terrorist attacks against the U.S. that year.
該數(shù)字自2001年發(fā)生481起針對穆斯林的事件以來就再也沒有這么高過。當年美國911恐怖襲擊發(fā)生以后,出現(xiàn)了多起針對穆斯林的事件。
The FBI report is based on hate crimes recorded by local law enforcement agencies across the United States.
聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局這份報告是基于美國各地地方執(zhí)法機構(gòu)記錄在案的仇恨犯罪。
Crimes involving religion increased 23 percent to 1,244, the report said. Jews and Jewish organizations were targeted most in religious-based hate crimes. They represented more than half of all those reported. Hate crimes against Jews rose 9 percent.

The largest group of victims – 59 percent – were targeted because of their race or ethnicity, the report says. About 52 percent of these hate crimes were done because of anti-Black bias.
該報告稱,最大的受害群體是因為他們的種族或民族,這占到了59%。大約有52%的仇恨犯罪犯案是因為敵視黑人的偏見。
More than 18 percent were victims of anti-White bias, while 9 percent were anti-Hispanic or Latino crimes. About 3 percent resulted from either anti-Asian or anti-American Indian bias, while 1 percent involved anti-Arab crimes.
