Suffering North American Muslims

Rabbi Eric Yoffie addresses The Islamic Society, one of the biggest Muslim organizations in the country:

"As a once-persecuted minority in countries where anti-Semitism is still a force, we understand the plight of Muslims in North America today," Yoffie said.

Really? Muslims are suffering pogroms right here in River City?

Who am I to question a Rabbi’s understanding of the plight of North American Muslims; but in drawing an equivalency, doesn’t Yoffie’s understanding of Jewish persecution seem lacking?
