Why it is Hate Crime ?

In this case, there is a strong suspicion that the victim was profiled based on her religious identity. The perpetrator pursued the Hindu woman and continued to harass her. He threatened to kill her and her family members if she refused his advances. In many such cases, the victims are profiled based on religious identity and then pursued. Further, the dehumanisation of Hindu women in a doctrinal and scriptural sense makes it far easier for Muslim extremists to target Hindu women. However, there is also a possibility that the woman was harassed as a crime of opportunity and no religious motive existed. This case is being added to the undecided database due to the lack of more information. The case would be added to the hate crime database if more information emerges.
