Heck, it was a Muslim who informed. That’s a brave man.
They really need to get over themselves.
They have enough divisions that'd keep them quite busy for a while and then there'd only be a couple of Moslems left in the country.

“So are Muslims really facing an increasing climate of hostility and harassment in the United States?”
Try this on....
Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal. Churches are illegal. It is punishable by death for a non-mulsim to enter the “holy” muslim cities of Medina and Mecca.
Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship.
Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam.
Egypt - Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith. Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship.
Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature for distribution. The country has passed the “Regulation of Religious Practice” law, which stipulates a punishment of two to five years’ imprisonment and heavy fines for anyone convicted of urging a Muslim to change his religion.
Syria - The constitution requires the president to be a Muslim and specifies that Islamic jurisprudence is a principal source of legislation. Sharing your Christian faith is discouraged as “posing a threat to the relations among religious groups” and carries a penalty of up to life in prison. A Christian is not allowed to proselytize – ever. Churches who want to hold an extra service must get a government permit. Sermons are routinely monitored, as is church fundraising.
Jordan - Has the death penalty for any Muslim selling land to a Jew.
Sudan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death.
Pakistan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims. Christians regularly put in prison for charges of blasphemy. Islam is the state religion, and in a court of law the testimony of a Christian carries less weight than that of a Muslim. Section 295(c) of the Penal Code calls for a death sentence for anyone who defiles the name of the Prophet Muhammad and requires the testimony of four Muslims for a conviction. This fosters an environment in which Muslims can feel free to use intimidation and violence against religious minorities for personal gain.
Qatar - Islamic instruction is compulsory in public schools. The government regulates the publication, importation, and distribution of non-Islamic religious literature. The government continues to prohibit proselytizing of Muslims by non-Muslims.
Malaysia - Under Malaysian law, any convert to Christianity must apply to a shariah (Muslim law) court to legally renounce Islam. Many Christians prefer to remain silent converts rather than take their battle to the shariah courts, where apostasy or conversion out of Islam is punishable by whipping, fines, imprisonment and—in the most extreme application—death.
The Maldives - In the island paradise visited by tens of thousands of tourists each year, Christianity is simply not tolerated. While local Christians – said to number around 300 out of a total population of 300,000 – do get together to worship, they do so at the risk of imprisonment or worse if discovered by the Muslim authorities. Bibles are banned, and tourists can be arrested for trying to bring them into the country.

Dick Morris and O’Reilly made a very persuasive arguement that the MSM is intentionally downplaying these incidents, so as the ensure the Democrats aren’t caught up talking about ‘terrorism’ in the 2008 election cycle.
After thinking about it, and then watching some of the coverage (Olbermann at MSNBC insisting these guys were all ‘morons’ for example) its hard to conclude otherwise.
‘’...... there has not been even one article about Muslims pledging to redouble their efforts to teach against the jihad ideology in American mosques.’’
The fact that the decline in business has not been 100% is a disgrace.
Excellent article. It’s only in the USA that an ideology can fly planes into buildings and then gain privileged victim status.
If they would stop the murders, throat-slittings, mall shootings, sudden jihad syndrome killings, kidnapping and torture of children, stoning, rioting, shooting, and train bombing they would be really nice people.
Big Lib Media and groups like CAIR are always shrieking about imagined backlashes occurring whenever a member of some religious or ethnic minority is involved in a violent crime. What Big Media is really saying is : “listen you nasty, racist, stupid, violent white people, don’t do anything nasty to any members of the same ethnicity or religion of the perp involved in the crime. And even if you don’t, we know you’d like to.” The same warnings were issued concerning the murders at VT by an ethnic Korean. No retaliations against Koreans occurred, but this doesn’t stop orgs like CAIR or Big Media to issue these ridiculous admonitions.
