Muslims Say U.S. Government More Dangerous than ISIS
PJ Media ^ | 12/22/2015

Posted on 12/22/2015 9:54:19 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Frank Luntz, political strategist and CBS News contributor, spoke to a group of Muslim-Americans last week about the "anti-Muslim" sentiment in America.

In the focus group, Muslim-Americans explained to Luntz why they don't fear ISIS. He also asked the participants if they had a problem with the government bombing ISIS.

"It's not going to solve anything," one female panelist said on bombing ISIS. "I was born in '93. My whole entire life we have been in a time of war ... ISIS does not have the capabilities to destroy America. Our military spending is better than the next 7 or 10 countries combined. I am not scared of ISIS, I'm not. I am scared of my government, actually. I am more scared of my government than I am of ISIS."

Luntz asked another participant if he was afraid of the U.S. Government more than ISIS.

"...I feel like every morning when I wake up, am I going to be mad because I am black in America? Or am I going to be mad because I am Muslim in America?" the panelist answered, after which fellow panelists clapped.

Watch video of the focus group:

One participant said she did not want her children to watch the GOP presidential debate because she did not want them to see the "hateful stereotyping" of American Muslims.

"I actually did a call out to Muslim parents across the country to not watch the Republican debate in front of their children, because I know that that -- subjecting our children to hear the hateful stereotyping and the lumping of Muslims with terrorism in front of our children is actually something that psychologically impacts them. So that's how deep this is for us,"

Here is a partial transcript of the panel.

The late Christopher Hitchens (an atheist) said Islam was the most fearful of theologies because it suffered from: “the horrible trio of self-righteousness, self-hatred, and self-pity.”

Ya know, given our current leadership I’m inclined to agree with the headline!

And this is why no one takes Muslim American seriously. More worried about crying about an non existence “backlash” than taking on the thugs who commit mass murder in the name of their chosen religion.

How many of you sympathize with Isis?

How many of you want Sharia over the law of the land?

How accepting of Jews are you, do you believe the right of Israel to exist?

Try those and see what you get.

"It's not going to solve anything,"

Then why does ISIS and other terrorists believe that bombing, beheadings and all kinds of terror will "solve anything"?

Yep. Sounds about right. This type of behavior is learned. It has been taught to a generation of black young people by a liberal establishment that wants them to be perpetually aggrieved. It hurts them and creates wasted lives. But it gives the Dems the votes.

every morning when I wake up, am I going to be mad because I am black in America? Or am I going to be mad because I am Muslim in America?”.....Got an idea, Sparky. Wake up happy you are an American or take your aggrieved ass back to wherever you were spawned. Just like a damned salmon.

They don’t fear ISIS because they are devout Muslims living in infidel country waiting to be engaged in jihad.

How stupid we have become.

that’s a great insight by Hitch.

We could add a fourth: hatred of the other.

Or perhaps conceptually that is what flows from his trio. In any event, that’s very insightful and spot on.

I don’t know about the self hatred, but the other two are certainly true. Moslems make the precious snowflakes at Yale and Princeton look positively Viking.

The falkers should have little say. They cling on to their beliefs which bring sharia as an integral part.

Also, where islam has a voice, islam creates the largest poverty and illiteracy due to it’s governance. The last thing we need is for them to drag their stupid ideas into America to create another iSlum.

Its bad enough that we have their frog prince, (spelled N****R) in the White House.

If we allow the n prince to continue we will have the “largest islamic nation” (as per obama) iSlum.

America needs to be protected from this crap seeping out of the White House diaper.

Strip their citizenship and deport over the nearest boarder now, or wait until their call comes ...

In the context of this article, Muslims are stereotypical.

The goal is to attrite their numbers as much as possible, to keep them in their homeland and mitigate their growth.

They have a 1,400 year history for us to consider.

Then they should go and live in ISIS land, not the United States.

No one asked them: Which are you first, a muslim or an American?

The last time that was asked all respondents answered: muslim ...
