And a big Allah hu Akbar for the pedophile prophet

We should leave the poor muslims alone and let them plot in peace.

National Suicide via Islamic Immigration Bump

I know exactly what Muslims in the US would like and it ain't a pretty picture for Christians and Jews not to mention other "infidels"

All one has to do is look at examples from history. Wherever muslims have invaded Christians have disappeared or been decimated.

I'm ready. When they get to my house-- they won't like what they find!

[Spruce]

Anybody's right to practice their religion ends at "the tip of my nose".

We had a woman who just recently was walking down the street and wearing hijab, and was stabbed and called a terrorist.

Personally when I see any woman wearing one of those hijabs, I am turned off.

But I never felt the impulse to stab her and call her a terrorist.
I don't think that is appropriate.

Stereotyping always has a basis in fact. Don't want to be stereotyped? Quit behaving that way.

There's been a range of backlash toward Arab and Muslim Americans," she says.

Gee, I wonder why???

[chachacha]

Muslim Americans are wary of the President and his overtly Christian administration, and they feel they have been unfairly singled out

Singled OUT! HAHAHA

WAIT TILL Armegeddon

Why would we "profile" Muslims? Let's see, they fly planes into buildings, bomb our embassies, strap bombs onto young people, cheer in the streets when our people are killed, and declare jihads against us continually. They cry when Saddam is captured. They send money to bin Laden.

But, really, they are peace-loving, and we should not profile them. We should go after 90-year-old ladies as much as we do 20-year-old Middle Eastern men.

The world is upside down, wrong is right and right is wrong. The lunatics are running the asylum.

Wherever muslims have invaded Christians have disappeared or been decimated.

Roger on the ready for them.

ROFL.

One of these days, because of the actions of their brother
muslims they will LONG for the days when they were ONLY
harrassed.

That day is coming as sure as the terrorist incident that will trigger it.

The American stereotype of freedom has been challenged by Islamic terrorists

[rocksblues]

Your post says it all. Imagine how bad it will get if the Democrats regain power!

[doodad]

It is really Arabs not muslims. My muslim friends are Europeans (Bosnia) and not at all like any of the things we see as "Islam." They live like Europeans (drink wine), love America (for saving them), and work hard aspiring to be good citizens. I bought my friend a gift when he became a citizen because he worked hard on the exam. There are good muslims, but I suspect few are Arabs.

Like the stereotype of Muslims as delusional idiots?

You have sensitivity training for police, because they have to deal with criminals," said Hanif Khalak. "Are all Muslims criminals? Why not sensitivity training for government? Do they think we're all going to jail so we may as well make it a nice experience?"

No. You have sensitivity training only if you are operating on the assumption that some Muslims (somewhere) might not be criminals.

[Oztrich Boy]

It is really Arabs not muslims.

Suspect you're right. Outside the non-Arabic core (Balkans, Turkey, Urbanized Afghanistan (40 years ago before the Wahhabis took over), even Indonesia are not Jihadistsas
