Arab-Americans Respond to Shootings
Fox DC ^ | 11/5/2009 | Roz Plater

Posted on 11/05/2009 8:37:58 PM PST by Saije

The D.C. area Islamic community has been quick to condemn Nidal Malik Hasan's alleged attack on dozens of people at Ft. Hood, Texas. They're taking a stand, and trying to cut off any impending backlash.

D.C. area Arab-American leaders are calling for calm. They do indeed fear there will be a backlash. They told FOX 5 the hate calls and hate emails have already begun.

The responses they are getting are the voices of desperate souls searching for an outlet...

They may need to stop their whining and start worrying about those that have been shut up by our government because THEY don’t want to deal with this serious issue!

I truly hope that this won’t develope into a bloodbath.

On the front page of CNN.com, there is no mention of Islam except for this headline: Muslim Groups Worry About Backlash.

You would banish an entire group of people simply based on their religion? Isn’t there something in the US Constitution about that?

How about honorably discharging practicing muslims from the U.S. armed forces? This isn't the first time a muslim serviceman has slaughtered his fellow soldiers, nor will it be the last.

Well, guess what, there’s already backlash. And it only makes it worse that they are sniveling, ‘We didn’t do it! Don’t blame us!”

This is the problem. We are bringing the enemy into our country. I still don’t understand why we have troops guarding Iraq’s border when ours is a sieve.

PTSD for LIBS

PRE-tramatic stress syndrom.

The asshat never deployed - anywhere, ever.

My son (USMC) has an 80% disability, but I will bet good money he could kick this physical coward’s ass....

And make no mistake, the killer is yellow bellied coward - I’ll say no more cause it would get me banned.

Yep, funny, isn’t it...you know after the democrats promoting the conspiracy theory that Bush/Cheney orchestrated or just LET 9/11 and said it was an inside job...

If you really think about 9/11 and consiracy theories, personally I could easily believe that the democrats, especially Obama and his muslim mafia buddies in Chicago certainly could’ve pulled off 9/11!

That is, if you want to think about conspiracy theories.

“They’re taking a stand, and trying to cut off any impending backlash.”

That’s a first. I know it was in Palestine, but I still have the image of them dancing in the streets on 9/11.

What leads you to believe that Islam is merely a religion?

I guarantee within the next few weeks, the Pentagon will announce mandatory religion sensitivity training, aka, how to be nice to your Muslim neighbor & soldier. And guess who will take credit for it? Obama. You betcha!

Arabs aren’t the problem; members of the death cult are the problem here.

Muslim “religion” = same as Nazi attitude of exterminating non-believers. Yes I would ban them absolutely, or execute them. Spain was right to do so during the reconquista, expelling the muslims finally about 500 years ago. It is not a religion protected under our constitution, it is a barbaric medieval social code which commands execution of non-muslims, infidels, like you and me. Read the Koran, we are under a death sentence. It is not a religion. I read their koran and it is terrifying.

There is no sense in accommodating murderers committed to your death in your own country. Impossible. Kill their leaders, banish them, or convert them to Christanity (Anne Coulter has it right) or Judaism or whatever, just not Islam, moon worshipping religion of death.

Educate yourself. How much death do you need to see?

I’m aware that Islam is more than just a religion, and its beliefs are incompatible with American-style liberty. Nevertheless, the rhetoric here is over the top. I shouldn’t even have to write this, but there are many peaceful, productive American Muslims.

Some of you are willing to condemn the whole lot of them because a few (a very small percentage) of them take the Koran literally and commit acts of violence. Plus, I think you are ignoring the practicalities of identifying and deporting anyone based solely on their professed religion. Just deport anyone who claims to be Muslim? Evil doesn’t justify more evil.

No American has the right to take another American’s rights away simply because they don’t like them.
