Muslims say fellow Americans are lashing out

Law-enforcement officials in the U.S. say they've seen an increase in hate crimes as Muslims grapple with harassment believed to have been prompted by beheadings in Iraq, Saudi Arabia

Through all the tense moments since the Sept. 11 attacks, Samar Jarrah thought her small Islamic community in Port Charlotte, Fla., had remained at peace with its non-Muslim neighbors.

The town's Muslim doctors often treat homeless and impoverished immigrants free of charge. And Jarrah went out of her way to teach residents about Islam, sometimes giving talks two or three times a week in synagogues and churches.

But three weeks ago, a caller left a message on the mosque's answering machine at the Islamic Community of Southwest Florida, shattering the perception of harmony with the community: "You barbarians. Lucky to be alive." Then the caller warned that if any attacks occurred in the United States, he would retaliate.

If our government won't enforce our borders, and insist on calling this death cult a religion of peace, what do they expect?

The average guy WILL protect his family from Islamofascism.

Of course hate crimes are wrong but it's understandable why there has been an increase. What group cheered 9/11? What group sits quietly while the rest of us are sickened by the beheadings?

Bull. Here we go yet again. So, leaving a voicemail message is lashing out? Is a hate crime? The same accusations were made by muslims soon after 9/11. Of course, there was next to no proof of any of these so-called crimes, but...if they SAY so.

One message sent to CAIR said: "I am so sick and tired of hearing about my fellow countrymen and citizens getting beheaded for no reason at all by these pigs...

She ought to spend the remaining 4-5 days of the week teaching nonviolence to her fellow Muslims.

Gee, the barbaric atrocities of the Wahhabi IslamoNazis are finally stimulating folks to actually SAY BAD THINGS about her and her co-religionists. Why is she surprised???

"The town's Muslim doctors often treat homeless and impoverished immigrants free of charge. And Jarrah went out of her way to teach residents about Islam, sometimes giving talks two or three times a week in synagogues and churches."

And I wonder at exactly how many of those little sessions she volutarily chastised her co-religionists for their barbaric behavior??? I can guess---ZERO!!!

It is very bad, look how many moon rock cult members
have been beheaded in America.

[TexasCajun]

If our election is disrupted by Muslim terrorist, you can count on a lot more harrassment.

[Reactionary]

"Hate crime," huh? Is that when the government punishes you for having the "wrong" ideas?

Thought crime is more like it.

"And Jarrah went out of her way to teach residents about Islam, sometimes giving talks two or three times a week in synagogues and churches..."

It is what they teach that is bothersome....

...her small Islamic community in Port Charlotte, Fla

Could that be part of the problem?

(I first take "community" to imply contiguity; maybe here it just means they're scattered all around, but get together)

If another major attack by Islamofanatics on the homeland that kills thousands, we will probably see 3 things:

1. politicians resigning in droves because they will be held accountable,

2. non-citizen muslims needing to consider seriously returning to 'their' homeland, and

3. an assault on PC and liberalism that will send the liberals and their PC crap into the closet for 50 years.

---

Politicians, liberals, major media, etc., may have forgotten the rage and anger felt on 9-11-01, but most Americans haven't forgotten. Another major attack and the rage and anger will be multiplied. The resulting retribution will be heavy for politicians, for PC liberals, and for Islamofanatics and their supporters.

Muslims commit barbaric murder on the other side of the planet. And, this Muslims call a hate crime against them on this side.

And a few words about the wonders of America, it its historical roots in Christianity, wouldn't hurt.

These punks need to wipe their noses, get off their highchairs, and put their chips on the table. Either they are loyal Americans or they are unwanted interlopers.

Teaching Islam my a__. How about teaching your fellow savages some nonviolence?

[toomanygrasshoppers]

"The town's Muslim doctors often treat immigrants free of charge.....teach about Islam"

This would be my response to them:

Well, that's all well and good that you do things for the Muslim and immigrant communities. Now, what can you do for AMERICA???? Are you Americans or are you Muslims who just happen to live here????

sometimes giving talks two or three times a week in synagogues and churches.

Any so called preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ who would allow this to go on in his church, doesn't have a church. Its a gathering of people and thats it, and those who are looking for God should leave it, go home and read the Bible and pray for guidence.
