"My girls are 15 and 13, and my boys are 10 and 8. A few days ago I was running late to pick them up from school and I saw they were on the sidewalk and a police officer was talking to them. My heart almost burst — he was asking them where their parents were, but my mind kept thinking back to Ahmed Mohamed, the clock kid.

Miriam Horrocks, seated, with 6-year-old son Michael, is presented with the U.S. flag by a U.S. Marine Corps honor guard following a funeral Mass on Sept. 17 in Media, Pa., for her late husband. Michael Horrocks, 38, was killed when hijacked United Airlines Flight 175, which he was co-piloting, crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center.

The first thing these clowns need to do is give their kids American names.

The Talk- You know kids, these crazy Kafirs object to our traditions such as mass Rape and Mass murder. Who knew Kafirs could be so narrow?

Ellen Saracini (center) and her two daughters Brielle (left) and Kirsten (right), attend a funeral mass for her husband, Victor Saracini, the pilot of United Flight 175, which was hijacked and crashed into the World Trade Center during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2001.

There are, literally, thousands more photos just like this.

"My mind kept thinking back to Ahmed Mohamed, the clock kid..." I will tell you what the hell is wrong with these people -here in this country, that is: If you keep telling anyone he or she is a victim, what choice do they have but to believe it.

I tell my kids F—k Islam, F—k Muslims, F—k all Liberals, F—k PC, F—k Obama he’s a POS as is everyone associated with him, guns are good, LGBT is a 4 letter word and any “phobia” associated with it is PC BS so see F—k PC, being a conservative is good, be proud of being white and your white privilege which is nothing more than working for what you get and taking responsibility about what you do.

My kids are 31 & 38 and they just continue to say.. we get it Dad!

I lovingly disagree. We want Mohammed to be the one that keeps bombing, killing, etc. Once they become Joe, Dan, and Mark, it becomes more difficult to show the Islam connection.

She mentions things like terrorism, and then she just looks straight at my daughter. It's like, "Okay, cool. You're a professional? You're a teacher?"

No, the teacher was being a human being.
The teacher mentions 'terrorism' in her classroom, and I'm sure the little voice in her head is shouting at her 'must not look at the person dressed like a terrorist' - but you can't help it. I'm also sure it was more of a glance, than a stare, and the hypersensitive member of the terrorism clan gets her feathers ruffled.

As long as you pledge allegiance to a Satanic cult that has 'terrorism' as the only instrument in their tool-kit of interacting with anyone -- sure, at a minimum expect some stares.
In a sane society it would be, expect to be deported.

Ah..yea..planning to blow up cities and cut heads off is still illegal, as far as I know.

Islamophobia is a fiction. Christophobia is real.

The primary cause of Islamophobia is Muslim originated Terrorism.

Start there.

There are about as many Buddhists in America as there are Muslims, yet there is virtually no Buddhist phobia.
Why? Because there is no Buddhist terrorism.

” “phobia” associated with it is PC BS “

Technically “phobia” means “fear of”. We aren’t “afraid of” gays, muslims, etc., we just want the liberty to live and function with persons of our own culture and beliefs!

Double-whammy!

“Why are guns legal?”
“Why the intolerance?”

Seems like the pincer movement of banning guns and banning “intolerance” all wrapped up in one.

I’m soooo sure her kids are asking her why are guns legal.
If you know even a little about muslims, you know they are the bullies, not the bullied. Their behavior all over the world speaks for itself. I’m so sick of them always trying to make themselves the victims.

This liberal propaganda is nauseating.

If they loved their children they would abandon the vile Islamic ideology and tell them the truth about the nature of Islam.

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

I try to help them understand that most of the time Islamophobia is coming from a place of fear and uncertainty.

Yeah. The real fear that Muslims want to kill all non-Muslims and the uncertainty that one who was let into the US is going to open fire on you in a mall one day.
