"We Are Scared, We Are Grieving": Muslim Activist in Paris Condemns Attacks, Rising Islamophobia
Democracy Now ^ | NOVEMBER 16, 2015

Posted on 11/16/2015 7:35:40 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Reports of Islamophobia have already emerged following the Paris attacks, and fears of attacks on Muslims in Paris have risen.

After al-Qaeda-linked gunmen attacked the magazine Charlie Hebdo in January, there were nearly as many anti-Muslim incidents in the two weeks following the attacks as there were in all of the previous year. More than 220 anti-Muslim acts were recorded in the first quarter of 2015, a sixfold increase over the same period the previous year.

The incidents included violent assaults and destruction of Muslim places of worship. For more, we speak with Yasser Louati, spokesperson and head of the International Relations Desk for the Collective Against Islamophobia in France (CCIF).

How about “Scared and LEAVING” instead?

Good, maybe they should start defending their new home against extremists in their religion. Stop being so passive; if you don’t all of you will suffer.

I’m kind of liking the “LEAVING” part of your post Norm.

Your religion commands you to kill me. You still claim it as your faith. I don’t care what you feel unless it’s your life draining from your body.

If being in Paris is frightening to them, perhaps it’s time to move somewhere where their faith and culture are the norm. Hmmm...where could that be?

Fear of people trying to kill them is not unreasonable

All of islam supports Isis . Every damned one. I never heard a moslem apologize for 3000 dead in New York I have no fear— I just hate the bastards that want to kill me.

Dear muslim activist,

Scared and grieving? What about anger? Where is the anger directed at those who pervert your ROP? Where is the activism directed at eliminating those who murder in the name of your god?

Sort that out & get back to me.

Oh, and by the way—how many muslim heads have rolled in our streets since 9/11. So quit playing the victim.
