"We are very concerned that mere suspicions, possibly based on prejudice and stereotyping, could so damage the lives and livelihood of hard-working young people whose only wish is to defend their reputations

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the Georgia woman say, even before the hoaxers were stopped, that she fully realized the perps may have been doing a "put on" in reaction to another patron staring at them? Didn't she discuss this with others at the restaurant, debating whether the authorities should be informed? I got the impression that she was genuinely concerned about making a potentially misleading report, but decided that, not being certain that it was joke, it was best to put the matter in the hands of the police.

Sounds to me like a good citizen answering the call to vigilence from our leaders and not willing to take a chance with the lives of others. The result is that she is now being called a liar. If she is not, a defamation suit may be in order.

I said this before and I'll say it again.

Here is the deal, Muslims; WE know that YOU know who the terrorists are amongst you; you're a tightknit community.

Want it to stop? Two things you can do: 1) Act outraged at 9-11; 2) COUGH THEM UP.

P.S. After seeing the press conference, apparently WE are not the only ones doing some stereotyping.

Ali added that the rising tide of anti-Muslim rhetoric in our society can trigger discrimination by a bigoted minority.

Quite obviously he must be referring to his fellow Muslims.

CAIR and their jihadists are testing our responses. They are a fifth column.
