Texas Muslims on Edge Amid Protests, Contest Attack
Jakarta Post ^ | Wed, May 06 2015

When an outspoken opponent of radical Islam sought to mock Muhammad in Texas, one of the nation's largest Islamic communities, local Muslims were encouraged to ignore her, and they did.

No one protested when Pamela Geller's cartoon contest attracted about 200 people to suburban Dallas Sunday, even though some Muslims in Texas were already feeling aggrieved and fearful over growing anti-Islamic sentiment in the state.

Anti-Islam sentiment has been reverberating in Texas, from the state Capitol to local governments. Tensions rose in Irving after the City Council endorsed one of several bills to forbid judges from rulings based on "foreign laws."

Muslims have a most unfortunate outlook on life, not unlike that of godless leftists. For them, life is a matter of usage rather than service.

I would think the Non-muslims would be the one on edge right now.

They came to a free country willingly. Now they want us not to be so free. It’s like people who buy a house next to the airport and then complain about the noise.

One wrong attack is all it will take to set off a chain of events that will
erase enough Muslims from this planet to set them back one thousand years.

People have their limits, and claiming moderate will not help or save them.

Ever notice a plethora of articles like this every time a Mussalman attacks anyone out side their religion?

Saw something that made me sick today. Had to go to the GOP Hq in El Paso, to do election training, I’m a precinct Judge. I had never been to the place before. As I traveled up the hill to get there, it appeared a huge Mosque. Complet with minarets and the out house crescent moons. I thought oh crap! No way to stop these people is there?!

And here I thought all of that “being on edge” by everyone stuff didn’t really skyrocket until a pair of Muslim terrorists got shot to death in the act of trying to slaughter a bunch of innocents drawing harmless cartoons. Silly me.

It is understandable that they fear what Americans will do when the muslim terrorists commit a real atrocity in America. Our ability to be tolerant ends where devils start killing our children and relatives. We can find muslims in America, if we choose to do so, to get the devils out with the bathwater.

Muslims “on edge?”

If they don’t like it, leave. If they’re uncomfortable here, get out!

There’s gonna be a bit more “edginess” for them when bring their crap to my neighborhood. I’m just sayin’

Not only that, “Texas Muslim” is a total oxymoron. Talk about cognitive dissonance. Sheeez

On edge?

Good point. And it's going to get worse as ISIS says their Islamists are in American and more attacks are coming.

Perhaps the W.W.II FDR solution will have to be applied to protect the American Muslims from outraged fellow citizens; to wit, internment.

A better alternative is getting the Muslims help to rid America of the Islamist scum. That should be easy enough.
