Ping....
Did they check the handwriting to see if it was hers?
I seem recall seeing a clip of Marilyn Manson tearing up a Bible onstage, and of course the government subsidized "Piss Christ" ... how come nobody every got upset over that?
a) It was a used book
b) It would be blasphemy to challenge the word of a Muslim...they wouldn't dare...besides the word of an infidel carries no weight in an Islamic court...if she said it happened it happened...trust Allah
Do we have any statisticians on the board? Because 141 incidences out of over 2million American Muslims is statistically ZERO I believe. I bet 141 Muslims drowned in puddles last year, or 141 dogs swam in the ocean and were eaten by jellyfish.
"The Council on American-Islamic Relations released a study last week that showed reported hate crimes against Muslims nationwide in 2004 increased 52% over the previous year, to 141 incidents."
The only thing that will set this right is bloody riots, murders,...and a Jihad for good measure.
The Religion of Peace demands nothing less.
Who CAIRs?
Have they offered a retraction to their last press release (that the antiAmerican press didn't question)? Seeing as how some of hte "harassment" noted were hoaxed, they really ought to look before they cry wolf again.
I've read of several accounts over the years (starting with Tawana Brawley) where greedy followers of that pseudo-religion known as "Victimization" stage phony hate-crime scenarios.
The fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf couldn't be more relevant here. As far as this Islamic woman is concerned, she (or maybe with CAIR's help) has staged this thing to:
1) Squeeze Amazon.com for an easy insta-Lotto jackpot or
2) Exploit the Newsweek uproar by introducing more "proof" that the Big Bad Uncle Sam is against these "poor peaceful" Muslims.
LOL: I have one I picked up out of a Guantonomo septic tank. It is a bit smelly and its full of crap , but no more so than when it was new.
Hmmmm...I wonder why she was so afraid. Could it be due to the FACT that the "Muslim Street" was gleefully cheering and celebrating the attacks of 9/11? Could it be due to her feelings of culpability for not speaking out against the attacks? Could it be because she knows the anger towards Muslims was (and is) justified?
If this woman knew anything about America and the values we hold dear then she would know that our anger was and remains justified but she would also know that all she need do is to speak out loudly against the attacks and against Islamofascism. We Americans are not going to go after someone who stands with us in condeming the actions of al quaeda and the minions of muhammed.
(excerpts):This news prompted headlines in the mainstream media. “Muslims Report 50% Increase in Bias Crimes,” announced the New York Times; “Crimes, Complaints Involving Muslims Rise,” broadcast the Washington Post; and “Muslims Cite a Rise in Hate Crimes,” echoed the Los Angeles Times. That these leading newspapers treated the CAIR study as a serious piece of research served as an important endorsement.
Of twenty “anti-Muslim hate crimes” in 2004 that CAIR describes, at least six are invalid – and further research could likely find problems with the other fourteen instances. ..."
I think the lady doth protest too much.
How convienient this all is.
In the interest of tolerance and love, let me just say "Screw 'em all".
Tet68 said the incident resurrected the fear he felt after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when anxiety about anti-American sentiment made him reluctant to leave his bunker for two weeks.
"I was taken back to 9/11, my belief that muslims were trying to kill me."
There, that's more like it.
Yeah... Who knows what somebody's done with it. :)
