Muslims say fellow Americans are lashing out
Chicago Tribune ^ | 7-16-04 | Geneive Abdo

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.

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

We can start by telling the FAA and our elected that P-R-O-F-I-L-L-I-N-G is not criminal - it is neccessary as the Militant Muslim is responsible for acts of terrorism.

For those of you who might have missed this yesterday, please read and take action.

Terror in the Skys Again?

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?

Exactly !!!

The only reason the Muslims do anything to help the homeless. poor or those in prison is because they are looking for easy converts.

I wonder if that doesn't mean homeless and impoverished MUSLIM immigrants -- or homeless and impoverished easily converted to Muslim immigrants.

But, regardless of that, if we have masses of homeless and improverished immigrants -- presumbably jobless as well -- and I think we do, then why are we still accepting a million or so more legal immigrants per year and on top of that allowing another million or so illegal immigrants to sneak in per year?

Maybe the point is that the United States has gone far beyond any traditional or dictionary definition of immigration and what is actually occuring is a form of parasitic colonization of the United States by multiple groups -- each with the goal of furthering and expanding that colonization for its own benefit rather than for any benefit to the host country. As in biology, country hosts can only sustain a limited number of parasites before they become very sick and eventually expire.

Well, that is my hate crime for today.

Well, Mormons didn't/don't go around beheading folks, though. Point taken, but I would be nervous if a bunch started up a mosque down the street from me. I am reminded of the Sci-fi movie of years back, in which the alien said, "We come in peace," and proceeded to kill people.

We do not "chop". We have a vast surplus of chain-saws here in America.

Islam IS a pagan religion. Mohammed wanted a way to unite the Arabs under his control so he could conquer Arabia and then the world. He realized “creating” a religion that granted booty to his rapacious, murderous horde was a way to do so. He simply picked al-lah, the moon god from the pagan pantheon of gods and only decided to have one god to lull the Jews and Christians into believing he worshiped God.

Which is exactly why a US born møøselimb co-worker bitched about me putting a US flag and "God Bless America" in my cubicle on 9/12/01...

during our history

Waaaay back in our history. I live in a predominantly Catholic state with a Mormon (not to mention Republican) governor.

Nobody thinks this is amazing.

Islam opresses other religions. Until Islam is made to behave in a civilized manner, it should be contained and its influence minimized.

If it wasn't for Bush's actions and statements in Sept 2001 the Muslim Community in the USA would have been in real trouble. Now they think Kerry will help them.

She was not doing anyone any favors by this. In Islam it is her muslim duty to spread the word about Islam to the "non-believers" in hopes to convert them. According to their belief she will receive many rewards for trying to indoctrinate the "people of the book" into muslims. She didn't "go out of her way" she was doing what she was sent here to do-to try to turn America into the Islamanazi state that all muslims want it to become. It will be, of course, of my dead body because I won't go out without a fight.

American Muslims ---if smart---would innoculate themselves from a coming rage if there is another attack. Loud and strong denunciation of Islamofascists is the only thing that will save them. Their silence is tantamount to a quiet endorsement.

And it will be a lethal mistake to think otherwise.

They seem to be buying up little churches and turning them into mosques, which I assume is mostly a symbolic gesture. It's hard to imagine that these small towns even have a Muslim population. But it's rather unnerving to drive by some isolated little white building that had probably formerly been a Pentecostal church and see the inevitably green Arabic writing over the doorway.

Mosque = weapons cache = assembly point

We were both laid off.

What other choice did the company have?

I have a brother in India who was marveling at the religious tolerence there.

Where's "there"?

If you're referring to "India", there were tens-of-millions of Muslims murdered there shortly after the Brits split India and Pakistan about 50 years ago.

Imagine if somebody(TROP) sets off a nuke in an American city....folks will be marching them to the airports and seaports at gunpoint for the ride home to the sandbox.
