Uh, that should read CAIR alert.

Children's pinata of Generic Arab causes concern...

Now in Virginia not long ago, would-be Jihadis were training in Virginia with paintball; where was CAIR's outrage THEN?

[dfwddr]

Dereck Wolf of Hampden Twp., who gets paid to be the paintball target, said, "I don't mind being a terrorist. Kids are ready to light me up with paint balls."

Mr. Wolf best be careful, someone may just pull out a 9mm if the paintballing doesn't go so well.....

[Frank_2001]

Oops, repeated myself, sorry!;)

Umar Farooq, the secretary of the Islamic Society of Greater Harrisburg, has not seen the game but said it sounded like something that "would offend us."

Islam sounds like something that "would offend me."

"It's like judging Christianity by people who blow up abortion clinics," he said.

I am really sick of hearing this.

When was the last time an abortion clinic was bombed and since then how many people have been blown up by muslims?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Ditto that...

MythBusters rename crash test dummy "Akbar, the Generic Arab," CAIR concerned...


I don't know why but "Generic Arab" is really making me laugh...

Just last week, CAIR and more than 120 other Muslim groups endorsed a fatwa -- a religious edict -- calling terrorists criminals and not martyrs.

Good first step, if a little late. Maybe about four years late, or maybe about 30 years late depending on how you choose to count.

Now lets see CAIR declare publicly that they are on our side. Or is that a bridge too far?

[Originalist]

"You have fanatic fringes in all religions, I believe."

The Muslim terrorists are not a "fringe", they are the mainstream of the "religion of peace".

[Bahbah]

I am really sick of hearing this. When was the last time an abortion clinic was bombed

Agreed, OXEN. The decent people in the pro-life movement do not support this kind of thing and that disapprobation has put a stop to it.

But but but...uhhhh...witches yes those nasty Christianses used to burnses the witches...nasty Christianses.

[ClearBlueSky]

How about the BIG difference?
Christianity does not TEACH murder. Islam does.
So of course it is unfair to judge Christianity by those DISOBEYING it, and precisely fair to judge Islam by those who are OBEYING it.

So much for Gettysburg College....

[Sender]

Is a 'generic Arab' just as effective as an Arab from a reputable pharmaceutical company? Only more affordable?

[TheHound]

At the same time, American Muslims have been calling attention to their abhorrence of terrorism. Just last week, CAIR and more than 120 other Muslim groups endorsed a fatwa -- a religious edict -- calling terrorists criminals and not martyrs.

I'm pretty sure, from what I have read here at FR, the so called fatwa said nothing of the sort. Deception, repeated often enough becomes truth (Hitler or Stalin).

The last rodeo I went to they used a dummy dressed up as an arab and let loose one of the BIG horned bulls! You shoulda heard the crowd! And the rodeo clown really got into it too! He was originally from India!
