Chart analysis

   From the Chart, we can see that before 2001, the anti-Islamic hate crime incident number was in a low level, which means that before 2001, anti-Islamic hate crime rarely happened in the country. There were only 27-32 crimes happened each year during 1995-2000. Then we can see the number of the anti-Islamic hate crime incident was suddenly became very high in 2001, 481 crime incidents happened in one year and it’s more than the total number of the past 5 years. In 2001, the “911” incident happened and it made some people in this country started   to take revenge. After 2001, the number of crime became lower but it keeps in a higher level than before.

     I think that the “911” incident in 2001 is a turning point of the anti-Islamic hate crime number growing.  Before the attack, there’re a few anti-Islamic hate crimes happened, it means that there were a few people hate Islamic people in the country. However, after the crime number reached the peak value in 2001, it can’t be back to the lower level.
