Women bear brunt of Islamophobia

74. Here's an article about Australia's intense wave of anti gay attacks, 1985-1999. At least 50 dead.

"Piece by piece, month by month, the map of Sydney's greatest unsolved and unacknowledged crime wave has taken shape. What that map belatedly reveals is that thousands of men were stalked, savagely assaulted and, in at least 50 cases, murdered.

Mostly it was groups who preyed upon these men and they often brought implements for violence, sometimes knives, sometimes tools of their trades. Among the weapons used were bags of drill bits, claw hooks and iron bars. The preferred footwear was workmen's boots, good for kicking.

They hunted for a certain kind of victim, on thousands of outings, across different parts of Sydney. The police were oblivious. They remain oblivious to the scale of what they missed."

It's all very charming stuff. I would suggest that the Muslim community in Australia might benefit from talking to other groups that have suffered criminal attacks and harassment and indifferent law.
