Hope and Despair: Being Muslim in America After 9/11

Fifteen years after the 9/11 attacks, Islamophobia is on the rise in America.

Anti-Muslim hate crimes are approximately five times more frequent than they were before 2001, according to the FBI.

The past year has been particularly brutal, especially in the aftermath of Islamic State-claimed attacks in Europe and the San Bernardino shootings last December carried out by a Muslim husband and wife.

More reports of mosque vandalism and attacks against those believed to be Muslim surfaced.

Anti-Muslim rhetoric has also been given an enormous boost of pseudo-credibility and prominence by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Islam represents everything that is wrong in this world.

5x more frequent than 2001?

IOW, 5 incidents vs. just 1.

Sorry, but compared to 3000 deaths in the course of 1-1/2 hrs, I shed crocodile tears.

Muzzlimes: I watched 9/11 happen, through a window in a tall building.

Drop dead, every freaking one of you. Then rot where you fall, birds picking at the disgusting parts of you the world was forced to see. Rats gnawing at your bones. Bacteria eating away your ugly bloated faces. And take your fan boy Odungo with you.

Maybe “Muslim hate crimes” are 5 times more than in 2001 is because there are 15 times more Muslims in the country thanks to Obama.

Mosque vandalism has usually proven to be self-inflicted.

  1. Meaning there was one in 2001, and five in 2016?

  2. Who now believes the FBI on anything with political implications? Might as well trust The New York Times.
    Or even Hillary (well, maybe not that).

Oddly enough, after these last 7 years, I think Rev. Wright was close to being right about America's chickens.

But it's looking more like it's Ezekiel 28, not chickens, coming home to roost, and rather suddenly too, but in all of Western civilization, not just here in America.

As far back as the late 1980s/early 1990s before the fall of the Soviets, I didn't see any of this comin'.

No way I could have or would have ever imagined we'd elect a pseudo-Christian/but definitely NOT muslim, who is ineligible by foreign birth (his own admission) to a foreign national father, to even be president!

But from there? All bets were off, no limits, no reserves, so no surprise that the usurper would then start some wars, thus creating a lot of muslim refugees!

Or next, that he and and the rest of the West would then force open the all the gates to let those refugees in!

Wahoo...we're picking up some speed now, slidin' the slippery slope!

How many deaths and serious injuries from Islamic terrorism since 9-11-2001? Not only is this number many thousands, but the number of Muslims killed by Muslim terrorists is far larger than the number of Muslims who were even inconvenienced by the predicted but still hypothetical backlash that never seems to materialize.

But ON 9/11, Americaphobia was demonstrated at the cost of 3,000 innocent lives, at the hands of Islam.

But that doesn't count, because narrative.
