Anti-Shariah Rallies Planned Across US Worry Muslim Leaders
Breitbart ^ | 6-9-2017 | Drew Williams, Jim King - AP

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Inside a mosque in the college town of Eugene, a half-dozen men prostrated themselves on a carpet while another man led the midday prayers. Over his melodic recitation came a tapping sound as a locksmith installed higher-grade locks on the front door.

The worshippers at the Eugene Islamic Center are worried about their security. A man recently appeared outside the mosque and threatened to kill Muslims.

Barely two weeks later, an assailant stabbed two men to death and wounded a third on a commuter train in Portland, 110 miles (180 kilometers) to the north. The victims were trying to protect two teenage girls, one of whom was wearing a hijab, as the man shouted anti-Islamic slurs.

Looking ahead, Muslim leaders and others are concerned about anti-Shariah, or Islamic law, marches planned for Saturday in Seattle and about two-dozen other U.S. cities, saying the marches are really anti-Muslim. They consider the Portland and Eugene incidents, and other recent anti-Muslim crimes in America, part of an alarming trend that came to the forefront in last year’s presidential election with far-right activists portraying Islam — and all Muslims — as a threat.

“Our Muslim community is feeling a tremendous amount of stress and pressure,” said former Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, who plans to attend a counter-rally Saturday. “It’s important for local leaders to express solidarity and make clear we stand against bigotry, against racism and with our Muslim neighbors in the state and beyond.”

How dare you ask the obvious?

And yet they haven’t ONCE STILL protested a terror attack.

They don’t cry when we bleed.

If Hillary was in the WH, we'd see a push to extend the laws that prohibit protests anywhere near a Planned Parenthood office extended to "protect" a radius around any mosque.

Then we'd see Saudi money used to buy up huge areas around existing mosques; those parcels would be gifted to the mosques at their centers, and the entire region would be "deemed" to be "a mosque."

Next, "sharia zones" would be declared within the areas.

Then, non-muslim residences and businesses would move out, causing property values to fall. This would lead to further land acquisitions, and therefore further expansions of the "mosques." More police would have to be hired to patrol the much larger perimeters of these "mosques," and political pressure would be used to make sure these officers were muslims.

You can fill in the rest of the story, I'm sure.

Yes...immigrating should mean joining the existing culture.. not immigrating for the purpose of changing the culture. The latter would be war.

This coming from Breitbart? Geez, are they becoming sympathetic towards lefties and muslims now?

The muslim community has a lot to answer for. I'm so sick and tired of them playing the perpetual victims. They can f- off!

moslems and liberals do operate in similar modes and methods if they aren’t identical. I vote they are identical

They should be worried.

Sharia is fundamentally incompatible with the US Constitution.

You can have one or the other.
