'Please don’t be Muslim’: Fears of racial, ethnic profiling in the wake of Boston bombing
The Grio ^ | April 17, 2013 | Zaheer Ali

Posted on 04/19/2013 9:39:32 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

As the news broke of the explosions at the Boston Marathon on Monday, I thought how horrific and tragic it was that people trained all year for a race that ended for some in the loss of limbs or even death.

Just as my heart went out to the victims of such terrifying violence, my mind raced to thoughts of the perpetrator: “Please don’t be Muslim,” I muttered to myself, joining what seemed to be a global chorus of Muslims on social media, fearing the kinds of ethnic and religious profiling that could fuel calls for violent reprisals against entire communities.

Conservative commentator Erik Rush’s tweet declaring Muslims, “evil” and urging “Let’s kill them all,” certainly did nothing to assuage my fears.

They all prayed that prayer to whatever passes for a deity on the left. They prayed it because they knew that the bomber was a Moslem.They pray that their fantasy world is not disrupted yet again.

>> “Please don’t be Muslim,” I muttered to myself,

So, it’s preferred the West implodes under its own weight???

Don’t be an ass, Zaheer Ali. You should hope it’s the act of Islam, not a Westerner. It doesn’t mean you’re responsible.

Islam is a war plan.

If all the countries that hate us soooo much and see us as “BAD AMERICAN’S”, ask yourself why the hell they eagerly accept all the money we send, all the military power and equipment we send, the free education we give them, a “free” country to migrate to so they can live better than they could ever have imagined .......etc.

Let’s stop all that “free stuff” and give them a REAL REASON to hate us. As Hitlary said, “What difference does it make?” They would damn sure find out quick now, wouldn’t they?

What is meant by Islam is the Religion of Peace is that when Islam rules the world, there will then be Peace.

Time for the” musliums are forced to live in fear due to unjustified backlash from an isolated incident stories! Islam is a religion of peace and we can’t let someone who reacted to the structural unfairness of America stop us from making America more diverse and welcoming to immigrants, if you do that than terror wins” stories.

A lib tool on FB posted a meme that went: "Muslims look at terrorists like Christians look at Westboro Baptist Church". So I took it to mean that when it's convenient they will admit WBC isn't representative of Christians. There's that. But I also posted back: WBC exercises their First Amendment rights, vile as their message may be. But Islamic Terrorists kill people.

I am so effing sick of reading about fears of this imaginary backlash against muslims every time they blow up a bunch of people.

Worry about your compatriots who blow people up you jackass! Encourage your people to find out who they are and turn them in.

"Oh no! Somebody blew the legs off a six-year-old girl and splattered her mother's guts on a wall (god be praised)... I hope this doesn't mean that somebody in Iowa might call a devout brother a camel jockey!"

We get this phony 'fear of a backlash against oh-so innocent Muslims in America' whenever some Allah-loving maniac kills people. I'm fed up to the eyeballs with it. This article that makes an issue out of the fact that America is still primarily a 'white' country so 'white people' are not 'profiled' by religion very determinedly ignores the reality that, as Ann Coulter said after 9/11: (paraphrased) "Not all Muslims are terrorists but all the terrorists seem to be Muslims". In the past dozen years, that hasn't changed.

...fearing the kinds of ethnic and religious profiling that could fuel calls for violent reprisals against entire communities.

Well when that entire community has in their "holy" book to kill all infidels, especially Christians and Jews, converting by the sword instead of by love as Christianity teaches then maybe they need to realize what they have bought into and embrace it or leave it.

Of course once a muslim and rejecting the Islamic belief system (NOT a religion imo) brings a death sentence.

Unless, like Obama (declared in paper work for school as Barry Soetoro, muslim, in Indonesia)...you are working for the cause you get a pass...for a time.
