A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called on law enforcement authorities to treat an assault this morning on a Virginia Muslim woman as a hate crime.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported that a 23-year-old Muslim woman, who is 8 months pregnant and wears and Islamic head scarf, said she was out for her morning walk in Arlington, Va., when three white men in a pick-up truck began screaming anti-Muslim and racist slurs at her. According to the victim, the men shouted, "You terrorist b- tch, go back to your country. . .You n-gger b-tch." (The woman is African-American.)
The truck drove away and then returned as the woman continued on her walk. One of the men, who was wearing military-style clothing, allegedly got out of the vehicle and began shoving the woman and preventing her from moving away. During the assault, he shouted, "You terrorist b-tch. . . We're going to kick you're a- s. . . you're nothing." The other men then called the attacker back to the truck and it sped off.
"We believe these types of incidents are the direct result of the growing level of virulent anti-Muslim rhetoric Americans are exposed to on the Internet, in newspaper editorial pages and on radio talk shows," said CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. "Our nation's political and religious leaders must begin to challenge Islamophobic hate-mongers."
Fine -- but that's a far cry from deporting or interning all Muslims in the U.S., which is the suggestion being made by many on this thread.
And of course, it's not entirely clear that there's any comfortable way to deport said cleric if he happens to be a native-born American citizen.
The difference between your scenario and the discussion with the bigots hereabout isn't even subtle.
How many muslims have you killed today? Or are you all talk?
It's not a matter of nice or fair, sister -- it's a matter of being Right and American. One need not act like the salamikazes to defeat them. And there is no need to demonize all 2 billion Muslims, either.
What are YOU prepared to do?
I, for one, am NOT prepared to go along with fools. And you, ma'am, are talking like a fool.
Did I say kill?
Am I prepared to kill in defense of my life, my familys life and my country? Yes. Aren't you?
I would be a very happy 'bigot' if each and every Muslim in this country was either interned or deported.
Any physical violence done toward Muslims in this country will be in RESPONSE to their assault on us.
And 'acting like your enemy' is PRECISELY how you defeat them.
They shoot at you- you shoot back. They bomb you- you bomb them. If war isn't responding in kind, what is it? Or would you conduct a 'gentleman's ' war while barbarians attack you?
CAIR says there is growing hatred of Islam in this country- and they're RIGHT. Muslims are nervous and afraid- and they should be.
If it comes to vigilantism, I promise you I will not be just 'talk'.
In that case you are against the very reasons this country was founded and are against the principles enshrined in our constitution.
I'm no muslim or muslim sympathizer. But a religious cleansing is just wrong. It's way overbroad, unconstitutional, and un-American.
Somehow, I don't expect you to go along with anything that would put you on the wrong side of Islam.
Call me a fool if you like- your opinion is worthless to me- and I'm not related to you. Any sister you have probably has a burkha on- or soon will.
But as for DEMONIZING all Muslims- the KORAN has done that.
The KORAN with the 'holy' passages that are the DIRECTIVES for murder and terror that ALL Muslims defend and revere has demonized them. People like you are better than stand-up comedians.
You INSIST on doing what the Muslims( poor terrified, persecuted things) REFUSE to do- separate them from the words of the Koran that order murder and terrorism. If they did that- stood up and founded a 'new, reformed Islam' without those bloodthirsty passages, we wouldn't have a problem.
But they WILL NOT- and your insistence that we treat them as if they have is a sign of true delusion.
It is not Radical Amish threatening the world. it is radical Muslims.
EUREAKA!
You have it, Shadowstrike! No one else has mentioned it!
Look at all of this high offense and horror that this woman in this fictional report was called a TERRORIST! Good Gravy- the MUSLIMS take instant offense.
NO ONE-- absolutely NO ONE is bothered by the 'ni**er' epithet! If they had only called her THAT, would there be this hoopla? Where is Jesse Jackson? Where is CORE? Where is the NAACP?
Crackhead, don't you get tired of digging up absurd articles?
The Viking Kitties are starting to purr.
I am well aware of the potential insanity of Islam, but my opinion still stands. The guy is (maybe) a jackass and should have his posterior rearranged.
...right out of the "Islamofacsist playbook...
^^
Exactly
If CAIR wants people to take this seriously: Where did this occur in Arlington? What time? Has a police report been filed? Who is the victim?
^^
Now, now, you stop asking such logical questions. Just believe Mr. Hooper and agree with him about what the rest of America needs to do to accommodate the caliphate, you troublemaker.
