Hate Crimes/Religion I am going to focus on how religion has been a controversy since the beginning of time. Two religions that have seen quite a lot of hate are Jewish and Muslim people. Religious Hate Crimes include crimes motivated by prejudice based on religion or faith. The holocaust was the most known case of anti semitic hate. In recent years, many temples and people have been abused based on their religion. Since 9/11, the Muslim community has been alienated and abused. Prejudice against these two groups of people have gone on for a long time.
