Anti-Shariah Rallies Planned Across US Worry Muslim Leaders
Breitbart ^ | 6-9-2017 | Drew Williams, Jim King - AP

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.”

Oh horsefeathers. . .Muslims in America have nothing to fear from Americas. . . Their fears are generated by their own attitudes toward non-Muslims. They know damn good and well if Muslims were the subject of terror attacks by Catholics, for instance, Muslims would be burning down every Catholic church and killing every Catholic they could find. . .so they project. . they expect that's how WE will be toward them. . .and they cannot FATHOM how it never happens. . .because THEY JUST DON'T GET IT. . . they misinterpret our lack of response as weakness and that's when they really screw up. . .like 911. .and then all of a sudden we are kicking their ass six ways to Sunday. . .

THAT'S why they are dangerous. . .they will NEVER understand the West and especially a Judeo-Christian civil society. .. .it's not us. . .its them.

Muzzies won’t assimilate but they will learn to fear that any American “infidel” can legally carry a pistol in his pocket.

And when he hears the war cry “Allahu Akbar!”, he will draw and fire multiple times.

That’s right. I’ve been saying that for years. They know we will kill them right then or hunt them down and kill them. They know we are not like Europe.

It is wonderful they are worried. It would be even better if they were genuinely worried and not just acting for the uniparty media, like they are.

One can categorize 99.999& Muslims in one of 4 groups. 1) The silent ones who give tacit approval to the heinous acts. 2) the financiers who fund the heinous acts. 3) The clerics who fill the morons with the desire to commit the acts. 4) The idiots who commit the acts.
