I'm waiting for CAIR to claim the hijackers were frustrated that they couldn't get an airline job after flying school because of discrimination and they wanted to prove they could fly, if only those tall buildings weren't in the way.
I'm waiting for Muslims and their leaders to speak out against Islamofacism.
They hate the West. Why are they here ?
They should realize that the term "Islamophobia" means "fear of Islam". Islamofascism/Islamonazism has shown some (millions) of followers of Islam present a deadly threat to the rest of the world (be it Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, wiccan, atheist, etc...).
They can bring up the Inquisition all they want (it came after Spain had been invaded), what violent offenses have Christians done lately to advance their religion?
Until the peaceful muslims denounce the violent muslims, they WILL all be lumped together as brothers in ideology. Lashing out at other faiths won't fly.
Hmmmmmmmmmm. I wonder which 'remedy' will receive the most attention, the one for 'Islamophobia' or the one for Anti-Americanism?
Gee, I don't know. I'm confused. I thought Islamophobia and Anti-Americanism were mutually exclusive terms. I can't think of anything more American than being Islamophobic against Islamofascist.
To kill it.
