Muslim Americans beg Trump to stop accusations

Jersey City (United States) (AFP) - Muslim Americans are pleading with Donald Trump to stop encouraging violence in demanding a "complete" halt to Muslim immigration after a New York shopkeeper was beaten in a possible hate crime.

Republican presidential frontrunner Trump's inflammatory call is part of what activists have described as an unprecedented anti-Muslim backlash following the Paris attacks and the shooting in California by a couple believed to have turned extremist.

"He's giving the right to people to hurt us," said Ahmed Shedeed, who moved to the United States from Egypt in 1980 with a degree in agricultural engineering and today runs a travel agency.

Also director of The Islamic Center of Jersey City, he spoke to AFP at a mosque, accusing Trump of provoking hate and violence.

"I'm asking him, I'm begging him. It has to stop -- all these accusations. Look at the Muslim community as part of the American mosaic and we are part of America. We are not going anywhere."

Muslim Americans say they are afraid. They talk about women wearing the hijab being spat on, a Muslim taxi driver being shot in the back on Thanksgiving and a pig's head found outside a Philadelphia mosque.

Just hours before the Republican frontrunner's call for an end to Muslim immigration, community leaders from New Jersey met prosecutors asking them to take seriously alleged hate crimes against Muslims.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim civil liberties group in the country, says it has documented a wave of abuse, vandalism and acts of discrimination in the last month.

"It is reckless and simply un-American. Donald Trump sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours," CAIR executive director Nihad Awad told a news conference in Washington, DC.

How is Trump "encouraging violence"?

What hysterics...

Islam has encoded in its teachings- murder, lying, plunder, slavery, rape, warfare, and even terrorism as part of its official religious doctrine. Jesus said that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, and this is exactly what Islam has done from its beginning. No other religion so completely fits the description in the Bible of the beast and false prophet than Islam.

Islam is different from all the other religions that do not believe in Jesus, because Islam officially declares that Jesus is not the Son of God (Quran 4: 171; 18: 4-5), which is the Biblical definition of Antichrist: "Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son" (1 John 2: 22).

The spread of Islam has left a trail of blood, suffering, and destruction like no other ideology in world history. History, and even this present age, shows us that Islam is a very violent and fascist religion, full of hate for Christians and Jews. No one could invent a more evil cult.

Look at the Muslim community as part of the American mosaic and we are part of America. We are not going anywhere."

Then why have CAIR or insist on pushing Sharia Law over the American Judaeo-Christian &Constitutional Laws....America's freedom is abused by Muslims from honor killings, female mutilation, no tolerance for other religions and that's just starters for their constant demands for us to change to suit them. Few ever assimilate or fit in to American values. Somehow, quiet Muslims are made to suddenly extinguish lives in 'their community' or travel to other states commit their Islamic duties i.e. murder the infidel...which anyone is who is not a Muslim! Great Gobbie! Why on earth should we welcome a people who by their laws, can' live by our laws?

This is rich, coming from CAIR, whose parent organization is the Muslim Brotherhood - recognized as a terrorist organization in many countries but basically in charge of our national security under the Foreign Enemy Combatant In Chief.

If refusing entrance is inviting violence then maybe some mosques should be checked to see if they are inciting violence by not allowing unveiled women, non-Muslims, Jews, etc...

Yep. Oh yeah that was another thing - with regards to Trumps claim of them celebrating - I had a few tell me to my face the US deserved 911 after they knew me for a while and I played along with their crap. They hide their true beliefs, so it doesn’t take a genius to know not only were they celebrating in Jersey but pretty much every place. This is the crap we’re letting into the country. The USA is simply something they use because Islam has messed up their country so bad. They could give a damn about this country. It may be different for 2nd generation Muslims, but the ones I knew were right off the boat and ALL of them were like this.

Are we supposed to love and accept people who believe you should submit to their dark ages death cult. They EARN hatred and revulsion by what they believe and do. Its Newtonian.

And the Moslems see Mr. Trump as a threat to their conquest and so have issued this traditional precursor for violence.
I would except two more appeals to Mr. Trump, per Islamic tradition.
Then, if Mr. Trump persists in his policies, he will be in danger.
God protect him.

Thanks for that info.

The first question that should be asked of any Muslim - and also of CAIR - is why anybody should believe a word that comes out of the mouth of someone whose religion allows/commands lying if it benefits the murderous goals of that religion.

Those who want us to believe them should switch to a religion that considers bearing false testimony a sin. And anyone who believes it to be a sin should have a really hard time accepting a “prophet” who tells them to do it.

Remember that Islam and the Koran come from the devil.

Raise you hand if you are still waiting for the Muslim outrage over 911 to start. :-)

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing “25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad” and 51% of those polled, “agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah.” Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won’t convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.

Mr. Trump stated, “Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again.”

My Prediction: After 1400 years, the rise of Obama will end Islam.

All that bad publicity from Trump makes it harder to carry on with business because it makes people more alert and more likely to result in unexpected guns.

If they spoke out and condemned ISIS it would signify nothing. Lies are acceptable, even mandated, if they lull the Infidels.

There an awful lot of third party emigrees, those who already have European passports, who are not a bit more trustworthy than those from Syria.
