San Francisco Chronicle ^ | September 30, 2014 | Amer Araim

My relative, May Araim, 68, was killed by a bullet last month while she and other family members were returning to Atlanta after a day of sightseeing in Helen, Ga.

It is sincerely hoped that the Obama administration and state governments will deal effectively with gun violence and Islam-ophobia.


How about knife violence where a member of the Muslim religion cuts off the head of some poor woman working at a food packing plant in Oklahoma? How about pressure cooker violence where a couple members of the Muslim religion kill and main people participating in the Boston Marathon? How about airplane violence where several members of the Muslim religion kill 3,000 people at the World Trade Center? Tell you what lady any member of the Muslim religion who wishes to cut off my head will have to contend with 10 rounds of .40 caliber hollow point.

The same leftists who call all gun owners evil are the same ones who say we can’t judge all Muslims because of the acts they commit..put me in front of a leftist for 5 minutes I would destroy every single argument they have..they would be crapping their pants at their hypocrisy

This is a satire, right?

I don’t recall ever seeing a photograph of Mary.

Liberals (communist totalitarians) chomping at the bit to incite a civil war. Want my gun? Come and take it!

Nah, they’d shut down before they would listen to you.

Remember, it’s not about being “right” to them, but about being “righteous”. It doesn’t matter if their beliefs make any sense. All that matters is how their beliefs make them feel about themselves as “good people”.

Typical liberal idiot who wants to regulate the people who don’t commit crimes because it makes the FEEL better.

I doubt it. They are simply unable to absorb logic and facts that interfere with their liberal view points. They would most likely stare at you with the blank look of dairy cow and just continue with their inane comments.

Covering their hair is not imposed on Muslim women. It is their choice.

True, but if they choose not to cover their hair in many parts of the Muslim world, they can be stoned to death. Seems a little drastic if you choose wrong.

The clown that wrote this article provides no context, no date of the shooting, etc. His lack of info makes it reasonable to presume she was shot by another Muslim. Or perhaps a rabbit. Or a two year old who was resisting potty training. When essentially no information if offered, other than his 68 yr old relative got shot, then one may presume anything and every thing, as there is no information available to bring facts into play.

He forgets the fact that an armed society is a more polite and less violent society.

Islam-ophobia? Strange, I don’t fear Muslims, I just don’t like them, to put it mildly. You see, I read their book.

Oh I know they would do the whole “La La La I can’t hear you nonsense” But I would LOVE to see how they would react to their hypocrisy..when a Muslim beheads something its “Oh it has nothing to do with Islam” CAIR never has to issue an apology..but when a nut with a gun goes on a shooting rampage, its “We must take away everyone’s guns, why hasn’t the NRA apologized”

I’ll put my “islamaphobia” aside when:

you stop staring at me while I walk my dog,
you stop your head shaking at what I am wearing,
you stop the gaggle of muslimas from loudly ‘tsk-tsking’ as I walk by,
you stop beheading innocent people in the name of islam,

you stop being a Christianphobe and bigot,

you start by being an American with respect for our Rights and Laws.

American Muslims are an integral part of American society...

Muslims are born lying through their teeth. Here's praying real Americans take America back real soon and send them all packing.

By the author’s name, I would guess that he/she is a relative of hte deceased, which means that he/she lived in Iraq where Saddam disarmed all people not loyal to his regime. He/she ought to be ashamed.

“The maximum freedom of the individual within the context of the freedoms of other members of the society.”

Collectivist Clap Trap...

“...my cousin was wearing the hijab, the scarf that is part of the Muslim belief that women should cover their hair. It is quite possible that the gunman saw her and other female family members walking in the street and began shooting at them. “

You are imputing something you have no values to reach that conclusion.

Hijabs are stupid and an outward display of full subservience.

I prefer strong women who share my values and compliment weaknesses, as I hopefully do and they should be free to express themselves and be their own person.

Yer in America. We believe in “Live and Let Live”, so whatever we think about your religions and practices foremost it is your right to practice your beliefs as you see fit.

Except:
“The right of the individual is sacrosanct and so is each persons equality.”

That is: Each person has the right to be treated fairly and squarely and have the same opportunities as every other person.

For instance: Last month, some D***head was yelling obscentities at the gas station attendant and some pretty vile bigoted things.

I told him to “Stop off!” and the guy behind me offered to be my wingman.

So, it’s not as if everyone is out to get you but, it may seem that way so long as you give silent and implicit imprimatur for others to act to level vileness in your name.

Pound sand and sorry about “Your relative”, however distant a relative of yours she synthetically was...
