The state better start expanding the old Japanese intern camp here at Newell.
No way it has the capacity for that many Muslims.

This is one of the things the leftists feared with Bush becoming President, expecting John Ashcroft to be AG.
Laws would be enforced.
A muslim can stare me right in the eyes, and tell me how he deplores the violence, and I will continue to suspect him of being a sympathizer. That is just how it is going to be. The whole thing was their idea.
I agree. "Hate crimes" here are generally perpetrated by loner-losers against solitary and unfortunate targets. Overseas they are perpetrated by organized crowds against churches and embassies.

Oh, how SAD. But we already have a pretty darn good understanding of the Islamic faith now. Thanks, though.
"It's very unfortunate that a handful of misguided evil-doers have managed to tarnish the good image of all Muslim Americans. "It will take a very long and concerted effort to improve the tremendous damage done to us," said the Pakistan-born Ahmed, who has lived in California for 30 years.
Yes, it's VERY unfortunate and there has been TREMENDOUS damage... oh, wait, you aren't talking about NY and DC, you're talking about your hurt feelings. Oh, excuse me. I thought you were talking about the thousands killed, the billions of dollars in damages, the bombed out heart of a wounded city... no, you were talking about all the dirty looks you're getting when you step out all decked out in your "I support the Mohammedians who hate the GREAT SATAN outfits." Sorry. My misunderstanding.
"Whatever the figures, there is no question that this massive and worrying rise in hate crimes is a direct result of uncontrolled anger and ignorance following September 11," said Robin Toma, the commission's executive director.
Ignorance? Oh really? I think its from the growing UNDERSTANDING of the goal of Islam and the attitudes of Muslims worldwide. Our previous ignorance worked in your favor, buddy.
...but there has also been a raft of violent assaults, mainly on gas station and convenience store employees.
Oh, the temptation to make a joke.... (struggle... struggle...)
In addition, more than 600 people are in detention across the country following the September 11 attacks, with few details of their fate available.
Because they were staying on expired visas or had fake IDs. Yes, let's leave that part out, shall we? Sure. Shhhh...
Under recently enacted anti-terrorism legislation, law enforcement agencies can detain non-U.S. citizens indefinitely and expel them more easily.
YES! GOOD!
The Los Angeles-based Muslim Public Affairs Council deplored the roundups and secretive detentions as an erosion of civil liberties that, along with the proliferation of hate crimes, was making life for U.S. Muslims very tough.
Once again, not a word about what others are going through because of the terrorism. Just a long, protracted whine about how you're being treated. Waaaaahhh.... go back to Jordan.
This means that if you rob anyone but a middle class "European-American", you will do twice the time in prison. This also means that if you do a crime against a middle class "European-American", you will be lucky to do any time in prison at all.
So all you criminals out there, if you feel the need to rob, mug, kill, or just do a small mutalation, be sure you choose the correct ethnic group or else.
Interesting that 'hate crimes' against Arabic-types have gone DOWN since 9/11.
How does anyone explain THAT???
The cheese eating surrender monkeys are at it again?
They analyzed American "normal" crime and determined there is "soaring" hate crimes?
Or as I suspect they pulled the results out of their b***s and wrote a so-called story around it?
Gee do you suppose if the American Muslims had delivered immediate and sincere condemnation of the Muslim Mass Murder they would need to wonder why they are being singled out?
Sorry, the Muslim silence has invited whatever special attention they are getting.
And I am still wondering how their "attitude" about their religion has changed.
If there is any soul-searching happening, it sure isn't evident in the behavior of Muslims around the world.
Words are worse than useless at this point.
And justifiable and deserved as far as I'm concerned.
You can't just smile and enjoy brutality and keep claiming that "you" would never do it.
