Full Title: Islamophobia? Americans Voice Their Freedom of Speech, Descend on 'Stand With the Prophet' in Texas to Protest Shariah Law, ISIS

GARLAND, Texas — Protesters holding signs against Shariah Law and the Islamic State shouted "go back home" toward Muslims as their cars crept past to enter the "Stand with the prophet against hate and terror" event that aims to "challenge growing Islamophobia in American society," which was held less than two weeks after Parisians' lives were rattled by terrorist attacks committed by radical Islamic jihadists that left 17 people dead.

For the hundreds of protesters who traveled near and far to counter what they see as encroaching Islamization in Europe, Canada and the United States, their fears are justified. Many Muslims, however, expressed deep concerns about the vicious verbal attacks that were shouted against them, and said their hope is for unity and understanding in their communities where some see them as nothing more than a potential terror threat.

According to the "Stand with the prophet" conference website, one objective of Saturday's event was to raise money to build a Strategic Communication Center "for the Muslim community, which will develop effective responses to anti-Islamic attacks, as well as to train young Muslims in media."

"This is not an event. It is the beginning of a movement. A movement to defend prophet Muhammad, his person, and his message," the website continued, claiming that "Hate groups in the U.S. have invested at least $160 million dollars to attack our prophet and Islam. ... While the U.S. is where this hate machine is based, Islamophobia is causing problems all around the world.

Jesse Watter of Fox News, Adam Kredo of The Washington Free Beacon and The Christian Post were among the news organizations not allowed inside the conference to hear the speakers.

Which means all the ABCNBCCBSCNNMSLSDNYTLATETC media are compliant and also enemies of America.

I’ve searched but can’t seem to find any coverage of the same event that was held in Houston on Sunday.

Complaining that you’re afraid to go outside because you’re Moslem is the single most ironic statement of the whole article.

I read somewhere that the counter-protest to the islamists was cancelled because of threats.

If Muhammad was this socalled “Prophet”, what did he prophecy that came to pass that gave glory to God and changed the lives of Muslims?

Answer: Nothing.

He wasn’t a prophet, he gave no glory to God, he followed no Mosaic Laws, he violated everything law given by Moses, and he rejected the teachings of Jesus. In fact he sought to subject God’s Chosen people and force them to recant Yaweh, and give up their birthright. So Muhammed was more of a messenger of Satan than anything. There is no “Islamophobia, there is rejection of Satan’s messenger and his followers.

I’ve seen pictures from friends who were there but nothing from the media.

The Muzzies seem to be experiencing a severe case of Infidelophobia.

I’m not Islamophobic - I don’t dislike all Muslims, only the ones who want Sharia law, who want to convert or kill all infidels, and who think lying in the name of their religion is okay.

The problem is that the other Muslims don’t identify themselves very well, so it’s hard to tell the good from the bad.

That’s a pretty good article. But sadly I saw nothing on our local news.

Somewhere between hundreds and a couple of thousand anti-Sharia protesters turned out in Garland.

A March in Dresden Germany was cancelled because authorities saw “chatter” indicating that terrorists would join the march and unleash havoc from within.

Just like after 911, islamists using the Paris attack to drum up for more terror and islamic support. disgusting.

Why do we even wait on them declaring separation from shariah and radical islam? It seems our own government is encouraging them and not enforcing the law on them, like Obamacare for instance.

I am not islamophobic either, in fact I do not fear them to the point of fearing to criticize them just as I criticize fellow Christians at times.

In fact what Mohammed did and what his followers ever since are doing is violating the commandment to not misuse the name of God. It is the one sin that God will not forgive.

Watch.

The abomination of Desolation. Yes Indeed you may be correct. Or the Sin against the Holy Spirit. Islam doesn’t represent G_D at all

Christians Burned Alive: Where’s the Outrage?

Raymond Ibrahim
Powerlin
By John Hinderaker

http://www.raymondibrahim.com/in-the-media/christians-burned-alive-wheres-the-outrage/

From Pakistan, another in a long series of horrifying news stories: because of a (presumably false) rumor that they had burned pages of a Koran, a Christian couple was burned alive by a mob of Muslims:

Sajjad Maseeh, 27, and his wife Shama Bibi, 24, were set upon by at least 1,200 people after rumors circulated that they had burned verses from the Quran, family spokesman Javed Maseeh told NBC News via telephone late Thursday.

Their legs were also broken so they couldn’t run away.
“They picked them up by their arms and legs and held them over the brick furnace until their clothes caught fire,” he said. “And then they threw them inside the furnace.”

Bibi, a mother of four who was four months pregnant, was wearing an outfit that initially didn’t burn, according to Javed Maseeh. The mob removed her from over the kiln and wrapped her up in cotton to make sure the garments would be set alight.

This outrage prompted the President of the Pakistan Christian Congress to write a letter to President Obama:

It is surprising that neither US Administration under your honor nor US State Department even bothered to condemn this horrific crime of burning live of Christian couple by a mob living in country named Islamic Republic of Pakistan which is receiving billions of aid of US taxpayers.

I would appeal your honor to put pressure on government of Pakistan to end misuse of blasphemy laws against Christian, Ahamadiyyia and other religious minorities and condition US Aid to Pakistan on human rights and repeal of blasphemy laws.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Obama to Obama to do anything about the persecution of Christians. Who knows, it might cause an anti-Muslim backlash! What I want to know is, are the 1,200 people who comprised the mob that burned the Maseehs alive “real” Muslims? Or are they just a handful of deviants who defame the beautiful message of the Prophet?

Actually, the story is the same wherever Muslims dominate. Westerners naturally focus on Islamic terrorism that is directed at them, but that is only one aspect of a pervasive pathology.

If you follow the link above, you can read accounts of Muslim persecution of Christians in Bangladesh, Egypt, Iraq, East Jerusalem, Malaysia, Kenya, Nigeria, Syria, the Islamic State and elsewhere. The author, Raymond Ibrahim, performs a tremendous service by chronicling the persecution of Christians on a regular basis. Like the President of the Pakistan Christian Congress, he must be baffled that hardly anyone seems to care.
