EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Inside a mosque in the college town of Eugene, a half-dozen men prostrated themselves on a carpet while another man led the midday prayers. Over his melodic recitation came a tapping sound as a locksmith installed higher-grade locks on the front door.
The worshippers at the Eugene Islamic Center are worried about their security. A man recently appeared outside the mosque and threatened to kill Muslims.
Barely two weeks later, an assailant stabbed two men to death and wounded a third on a commuter train in Portland, 110 miles (180 kilometers) to the north. The victims were trying to protect two teenage girls, one of whom was wearing a hijab, as the man shouted anti-Islamic slurs.
Looking ahead, Muslim leaders and others are concerned about anti-Shariah, or Islamic law, marches planned for Saturday in Seattle and about two-dozen other U.S. cities, saying the marches are really anti-Muslim. They consider the Portland and Eugene incidents, and other recent anti-Muslim crimes in America, part of an alarming trend that came to the forefront in last year’s presidential election with far-right activists portraying Islam — and all Muslims — as a threat.
“Our Muslim community is feeling a tremendous amount of stress and pressure,” said former Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, who plans to attend a counter-rally Saturday. “It’s important for local leaders to express solidarity and make clear we stand against bigotry, against racism and with our Muslim neighbors in the state and beyond.”

Worried Mooslimes! Good!
They keep demanding Christians should renounce Messiah. Maybe they need to renounce Mohammad.
....Our Muslim community is feeling a tremendous amount of stress and pressure...
They should try being the target of murderous terrorism on infidels. They should take their Sharia “law” to a place where it’s savagery is accepted. And that place is not in the USA.
Although I do not condone violence against any citizen, I see nothing wrong with Muslims feeling a bit of fear.
The man was a Democrat left-wing Bernie voter
Pussies!
Our rallies will cause them concern.
“Anti-Shariah Rallies Planned Across US Worry Muslim Leaders”
Their premise is that mass murders shouldn’t cause us concern.
Screw that noise.
Which of these is genuine cause for real concern?
Muslim leaders, you lose...
Islam means "submission". Not submission to Allah but submission to Sharia.
"Ceterum censeo Islam esse delendam."
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Democrats will run to protect their Islamic Brothers and Sharia Law. Another clash is coming tomorrow, when Democrat Fascist Antifa Brown Shirts join with their Muslim extremists and fight against Americans protesting them
A minimal Islam reform would necessarily include:
No Sharia
No Jihad
No Mad Mo’
Get out of this country if you love sharia law. It is antithetical to our Constitution. With their taquia, how can you trust a moozlum about anything?
Can’t a guy make a bomb belt in peace?
bttt!
“The worshipers at the Eugene Islamic Center are worried about their security.”
Here’s the deal. You AMERICAN, ‘Moderate’ Muslims, who are IN OUR COUNTRY BY THE GRACE OF G-D, (and the STUPIDITY of our ‘Leaders’) need to speak up AND SPEAK UP SO LOUDLY that ALL OTHER AMERICANS HEAR YOU!
Then, we’ll talk. Donuts and coffee will be served.
If not, you’re COMPLICIT, HIDING in your Mosques.
(Wow. Wouldn’t that be something if President Trump tweeted THAT!)
Ping to Post 34. GMTA!
MAGA! :)
Yours is an interesting point because what we are told terrorist or terrorism which say fear is the problem. We are told the problem is terror and terrorism or fear. When one points at the true problem one learns terror and terrorism does not exist if Islam does not exist. So why must we be afraid??? Islam wants us to be afraid. If we refuse to be afraid islam will still come for us but am tired of being afraid of a cult calling itself a religion
Here’s my take on it.
Ever since 911 we have acted civilized, regardless of our gut reaction.
17 years later with no satisfaction, somethings gonna give....
We didn’t dodge a BULLET - America dodged a NUKE, by not electing, ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named!’ :)
*TRUMP BUMP*

From the article: “Looking ahead, Muslim leaders and others are concerned about anti-Shariah, or Islamic law, marches planned for Saturday in Seattle and about two-dozen other U.S. cities, saying the marches are really anti-Muslim.”
Well, yes. They ARE anti-Muslim in the sense that sharia is fundamental tenet of Islam that is incompatible with the US Constitution. That’s not to say there aren’t good Muslims, but the good ones are basically heretics much like Christians who claim homosexual acts are not sin.
