Hugoball's post was well written and explained his position quite well.

Sure. But I still consider this to be one of the stupidest posts I've seen in a while:

I suppose I am somewhat cheered by these drunken rednecks who can't think of any other way to express their displeasure at an alien (and dangerous) cult than to harass a woman.

You are thrashing desperately, is it because you are islamic, or are you really that dim?

You, my friend, are the one thrashing around in your ignorance and anger. You are the one proposing that we treat Muslims as members of a group, rather than as individuals. You are proposing that America go down a very dark road.

There is another issue here, too. By calling for declaration of a hate crime, the CAIR spokesman is calling for declaration of this as a Federal offense. In this way they are leading toward their strength, which is in the national and international arenas and away from individual state and local police authority. World gov't is their goal, and they believe they can dominate world gov't.
