The current wave of anti-mosque protests around the country represents a new threat to the religious freedom of Muslims in America a threat directed not just at terrorists who act in the name of Islam, but at all Muslims and Islam itself.
Incidents of discrimination and bias aimed at Muslim Americans have been rising since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But anti-Muslim rhetoric has taken an ominous turn in recent months as a growing number of political and community leaders some with tea-party affiliations have begun warning of a Muslim takeover of America.

Is Judge Walker Islamophobic?
The BBC banned Winston Churchill from the airwaves in the 1930s for speaking out against Nazi Germany. Hollywood shelved scripts that were critical of Nazi Germany in the 1930s for fear of souring a potential foreign film market.
What sane person isn’t?
Political Correctness offends me...
Can I be on your team?
If they really believed in the First Amendment, they would ask questions of why there is no religious freedom in Islam’s homeland. Why is there a standing death penalty for non-muslims who’d dare enter the segregated cities of Mecca and Medina. Why are muslims not permitted to convert away from the cult. Why are no other religious texts permitted.
So much for “free speech”.
A billion muslims bow to Mecca 5 times a day every day. Their capital of their empire. Yet they never bother to speak out against these things.
“islamophobia” is the slanderous label for understanding “mohammedan culture” and categorically rejecting it and its adherents goals.
All I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11....
P@ss on Islam!.....
He is giving Dhimmitude for something in return. There is a reason that there is a mosque on top of the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site (it never was a muhammedan site), a mosque next to the Church at Bethlehem (one of Christian’s holiest site) and mosques all over Turkey and Europe at destroyed Church or Synagogue sites. It is called a monument to a triumphant islamic victory. And it one of two ways to convert the world to Sharia (the other way is through jihad.) You are damn skippy this these a$$holes in NYC know what they are doing, and that idiot mayor knows less than nothing.
Jusr because I would love to nuke Mecca doesn’t mean I am a phobic of any type. They started the fight, we will finsih it.
“Is the tea-party movement Islamophobic?”
No, Islam is real world-ophobic.
most recognize mussie scum when they see it.....
Let's check the definition of phobia.
A phobia (from the Greek: φόβος,phóbos, meaning "fear" or "morbid fear") is an irrational, intense and persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, animals, or people.
Irrational fear? Nope. Pretty *#@$($#(! rational if you ask me.
I am not islamophobic. I am opposed to islam for many reasons but irrational fear is not among them.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face. We ought to outlaw the public practice of islam in this country. No mosques, no cultural centers, no sharia law ghettoes. None of it. Islam is not a religion. It is an evil, intolerant, violent political, economic, judicial and cultural force that is at odds with everything the West holds dear.
There is no such thing as a peaceful, moderate muslim. They are peaceful and moderate only until their numbers are such that they can oppose their neighbors. Look at Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sudan, Iraq and Indonesia. Christians are murdered, slaughtered in their sleep even by their ‘religion of peace’ neighbors. I can name 20 countries off the top of my head where a once complacent islamic population turned violent when their population got large enough. Can anyone name even one country...just ONE...where the muslim majority does not persecute their non-mulim minorities?? The answer is no because such a place does not exist!
>>Incidents of discrimination and bias aimed at Muslim Americans have been rising since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
You mean like ARRESTING them when they:
1) Try to blow up planes.
2) Try to blow up Times Square
3) Shoot soldiers at a stateside Army base
In a world that makes sense, anyone that tried things like these would be DEAD by the time the cops arrive. If anything, Americans are showing incredible restraint.
As for the “good muslims” or “moderate muslims”...you earn that tag when you can denounce terrorism in the name of Allah, without using the words “BUT”, “HOWEVER”, or “ALTHOUGH”.
I don't care how many "good" American Muslims exist, all Muslims are suspect.
Some people are wise enough to know what an evil Islam is. I guess you could call it fear. People should have a healthy fear of predators. Think of it like this. There isn’t a single Muslim in the world who is better off because of Islam, but their minds are too polluted to know it. Why spread that kind of insanity, especially when it involves a mosque that is going up for no other purpose than to insult Americans?
Just so you understand, the above restrictions on Islam are the universally agreed situation which ANY Imam will say is "time" to wage physical jihad holy war against a nation.
So much for being a "religion of peace".
