Unbiased indeed! Daniel Greenfield an Israeli sabra living in New York, who is a fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Centre the same organisation that sponsors Jihad Watch. Daniel is obsessed with a pathological hatred for Muslims and a delusion that the US military exists to carry out his fantasy of a war on Islam. Daniel’s postings regularly dehumanise Muslims, and are filled with anti Islam screeds which he fabricates on whim, not unlike Ned May. He also has a Torah Parsha blog and this video shows him in a debate about New Media. In a common theme amongst neo cons, Daniel complains there is a plot to destroy the US military by Obama. In one blog post ‘Winning the War on Terror‘ he suggests genocide.
He's probably pen pals with Charles Manson
You're looking pretty low to find your justifications, Mr. Admin.

Geez bunny, are you a correspondent for Al-Jazeera or just someone who sits in a dark room with an aluminum foil hat on to keep the bad rays out? You admittedly know your stuff but you
seem to disbelieve anything that shows the African-American crime rate is higher than the Caucasian one. Why is that?
And just btw, I think someone who is tracking Jihad is probably doing us a service.
But out of a respect for your research skills, I'll see if I can wade through the FBI'S Uniform Crime Statistics and find data there. Will that satisfy you or will you say that the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover is manipulating the data?

It is important to separate the issue of data quality from how it is used. A government data system which accurately records each time government agents arrest individuals will produce accurate counts on the number of arrests. However, if these counts are utilized by someone as if they measure the number of violations which occur, the data have then been improperly used. This is because arrests and violations are two quite separate things. First, government agents are unlikely to find and arrest everyone who has committed an offense, and second, not everyone who is arrested is in fact guilty. While good data don't guarantee proper use, bad -- that is, inaccurate -- information is of little value for any purpose.
So what IS your purpose with all the data you're collecting?
And remember fellow foil wearers-SHINY SIDE OUT!
J. Edgar Hoover? Did they name a dam after him? Is Leonardo DiCaprio his grandson?

Bunny, you're sounding like the bastard offspring of a robot and
Ralph Nader.
What do you do in real life, work for the NSA?

Again...What is the purpose of your data? Why is it so important to you? When trying to make a case for some position or idea, we frequently encounter questions which challenge the coherency or validity of that position. When we are able to adequately answer those questions, our position becomes stronger. When we cannot answer the questions, then our position is weaker. If, however, we avoid the question altogether, then our reasoning process itself is revealed as possibly weak. You're avoiding.

gutta cavat lapidem (non vi sed saepe cadendo)
The reason you need your data and the solutions you propose if you're so sure of its accuracy?
