Queens [NYC] Muslim Group Says It Opposes Violence, and America
The New York Times ^ | June 22, 2005 | Andrea Elliott

Posted on 06/22/2005 6:33:32 AM PDT by aculeus

The young Muslim men, with beards and bullhorns, work the streets of Jackson Heights on the weekends. They surface at parades and protests around the city, loudly declaring America the enemy and advocating for an Islamic state. Several weeks ago, they publicly tore up an American flag as payback for the reported desecration of the Koran at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Their own videos of violence against Muslims, one with the title "Muslim Massacres," have recently appeared on Queens Public Television.

If you hate America, what are you here for? I have some advice:

"DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YA IN THE A$$ ON THE WAY OUT!!!"

". . . loudly declaring America the enemy"

OK, so let's deport these people. We are at war, aren't we?
And if they are citizens, then let's incarcerate them and charge them. (What would have happened during WWII if a citizen had been parading around and saying America was the
enemy?)
FDR had no qualms about incarcerating thousands of innocent people, for no other reason that that they were born of Japanese descent.
Now, we have actual disloyal people roaming the streets
and getting their propaganda put on public TV.

And we just sit here and let this happen while our President speaks of the religion of peace.

Our country has gone stark raving mad.

They are not here to be Americans. They are here to cheat their butts off at universities while playing politics for the advancement of Islam and the defeat of America. And most Republicans in the Senate seeing nothing wrong with allowing more to LEGALLY move here from those exotic garden spots like Yemen, Sudan, Indonesia, and Somalia.

The shame is that they won't just openly come out and try. That'd play right into our hands.

I can remember when Jackson Hgts. was a good, safe, up-scale neighborhood. Time has not been kind to Queens.

Has anybody asked these worthless "peace-loving" people why they are here? Besides the obvious monetary and materialistic reasons.

I do think that these bums have the right under the Constitution to tear up our flag.

I also think citizens should be free under those circumstances to "share our differing opinion" with them. Tearing up our flag is the equivalent of "fighting words."

This is the second map, updated, published early 2005.  More Mosque's have sprung up across the Country that are not on this map.  For Instance:  Lodi, California.

Jackson Heights ?

There's a hold-up in the Bronx,
Brooklyn's broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem,
That's backed up to Jackson Heights.
There's a scout troop short a child,
Khrushchev's due at Idlewild...
Car 54 where are you?

Destroying the flag ought to be akin to "mishandling" Korans.

But only right-wing extremists are interested in the flag, right? Basically, anyone from anywhere can come here and defile the long-standing symbols that are important to Americans as freedom of expression.

But if any American returns the favor, it's likely a hate crime.

This country's just nucking futs. I wish I knew the cure.

I'm beginning to long for the good old days when folks like this met up with small town justice and the sheriff discreetly looked the other way.

why is burning or tearing up the U.S. flag considered free speech, but doing the same thing to a rainbow gay pride flag would be hate speech?

why not include desecrating the U.S. flag as hate speech?
