Spike in hate puts Bay Area Muslim college students on guard

Hana Ghanim, a UC Berkeley student, doesn’t feel safe at school anymore.

Ghanim and other Muslim students at universities across the Bay Area are taking precautions after a number of hate crimes occurred on their campuses since the Nov. 8 presidential election of Donald Trump, who said during his campaign that he would ban people of her faith from entering the country.

Her fears come after an incident Nov. 10 on the UC Berkeley campus in which three men threatened to rip off a student’s hijab, or headscarf, and taunted her over Trump’s stunning victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Thank goodness a monkey didn't pull off her head covering.

Because of the Muslim spike in hate, a lot of Americans are going to be afraid to go to the malls on Black Friday. I guess that makes it even.

Expect more of this. This is why they should never have been allowed in.

Right - a Muslim student at UC Berkeley doesn't feel safe. What a drama queen and what nonsense. There's not the slightest threat to her safety or well-being or even to her tender feelings in Berkeley. She'd be at far more risk for violence and oppression in the land of her origin - and the insincerity of her concerns for safety can be clearly seen by the fact that she will never leave the UC Berkeley campus to go back to whatever Islamic hell-hole her family is from.

The Muslim attitude towards women. Seems that these progressives at Berkeley are taking a step back:

Another Hadith says… ‘The Prophet ordained the husbands, that if your wives want to go to the Mosques, do not prevent them – And several Hadiths are there, I will not go to the details. But Islam gives permission for a woman to enter the Mosque – But there are separate and equal facilities – We do not believe in intermingling of sexes. Why we do not believe… as the question was asked earlier.If we have intermingling of sexes…and as we know what happens in the other Religious places – People come more for to Eve teasing and bird watching, than to pray. Therefore, Islam does not believe in intermingling of sexes. There are separate entrances for man and woman – separate places of ‘Wuduh’, ablution, for man and woman. Man and woman are made to stand separately, and a woman cannot stand in the front, because… because if a woman stands in front, but natural the man behind will be disturbed. In Islam when we pray, we stand shoulder to shoulder – And the medical doctors, they tell us that… ‘The female has 1 degree higher… one degree higher temperature.’ If you have a lady next to you, you will feel warm and soft – Instead of concentrating… instead of concentrating on Allah (SWT), you concentrate on the lady (Humor – crowd laughs). That is why in Islam, the women have to stand behind.

Yep, now they got to be on guard when they buy a couple of tons of ammonium nitrate for that Berkeley People's Park vegetable garden.

How many Islamic followers in the U.S. have been a victim of a citizen of the U.S. walking into a room firing weapons, detonation a bomb, or otherwise committing an act of focused mass destruction against them?

If there are as many such acts as the fingers on my Left hand (5), I’ll be very surprised.

The media can’t help itself. It wants to portray those not committing acts of terrorism as being bad, and the group that has as being good.

Good luck finding a Trump supporter at Berkeley. These fairy tales are laughable.

Spike in hate? Probably saw a group pledging allegiance to the flag.
