Data on types of hate crimes have been collected by the U.S. [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] since 1992, to carry out the dictates of the 1990 [[Hate Crime Statistics Act]]. Hate crime offenses include crimes against persons (such as assaults) and against property (such as [[arson]]), and are classified by various race-based, religion-based, and other motivations.

The data show that recorded anti-Islamic hate crimes in the United States jumped dramatically in 2001. Anti-Islamic hate crimes then subsided, but continued at a significantly higher pace than in pre-2001 years. The step up is in contrast to decreases in total hate crimes and to the [[Crime rates in the United States|decline in overall crime in the U.S.]] since the 1990s.

Specifically, the FBI's annual hate crimes statistics reports from 1996 to 2013 document average numbers of anti-Islamic offenses at 31 per year before 2001, then a leap to 546 in 2001 (the year of [[9-11]] attacks), and averaging 159 per since. Among those offenses are anti-Islamic arson incidents which have a similar pattern: arson incidents averaged 0.4 per year pre-2001, jumped to 18 in 2001, and averaged 1.5 annually since.<ref name="fbiData">The FBI reports anti-Islamic [[hate crimes]] directed against persons or property its annual reports indexed here [https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/ucr-publications#Hate].
