Religious & Racial Hate Crimes
Introduction:
Through history you hear of major crimes committed out of the hate for a certain culture or race or maybe even sexual orientation. These crimes are now considered a “Hate Crime” since 1968 after the murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay college kid murdered in Wyoming (Abrams, 2009). A Hate crime is “a crime criminal offense committed against a person, proper tot society that is motivated, in a whole or in part, by offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin” (Schmalleger, 2012). Forty-one states and the District of Columbia have laws against hate crimes. This means that if bias is involved, …show more content…
Almost 3,000 people died in this religious act of violence. This attack was caused by an international terrorist group known as Al Qaeda; “radical Islamic terrorist organization that endeavors to implement Islamic laws in the governments of mostly Muslim nations” (Laura Hayes, 2007). This group was created to destroy any government that does not follow Islamic laws, as Brad Hirschfield says “religion drove those planes into the building” (Hirschfield, 2011). This terrorist group devised a master plan and destroyed two of the biggest buildings in the U.S, and it would have been more if passengers didn’t take control of the third plane.

Apart of World War 1 was the holocaust and the bullies was the Nazi’s. The Nazis were people who followed a man named Adolf Hitler; they were all members of the National Socialist Party in Germany. They had a specific idea of a “perfect person” and wanted to create a perfect Germany. They terminated anyone that did not fit into their “perfect person” description. The Nazi’s mostly targeted Jews and would send them to concentration camps where they would be killed in an inhumane way. This Hate crime could be under religion and race. The Nazi’s terminated millions and didn’t stop until they were defeated by allies.
Conclusion: In conclusion Hate crimes aren’t what they use to be but still increase each year. Right now race and homosexuality mainly targeting gay males are the highest hate crimes out there (Schmalleger, 2012). To think of people murdering people just because they are different in some way or out of pure hate is an outrage. Also the religious battle between countries that are turning into hate crimes has to be stopped in a non-violent way or it will be leading to another world war or worse
