In 2014, there were 0 incidents of hate crimes against Muslims being committed. In 2015, there were 15 such crimes. So what happened that saw Ohio go from considering Muslims as peace-loving and equals to hating them? It may be the migrant crisis, and the hatred spread by some people that Muslims will invade their way of living and try to change their culture. Whatever the reason, the situation has gotten so bad that the Columbus City Council had to pass a resolution stating their condemnation for Islamophobia.
