(New Haven-WTNH, Oct. 29, 2004 10:00 PM) _ Muslim-Americans are fearful of the possible fallout from the Osama bin Laden tape. Muslim leaders in New Haven are worried the tape could make them targets of intolerance.

"It's just disheartening."

New Haven's Islamic leaders reject Osama bin Laden and his message. In a newly released video the terrorist leader ties Muslim security to American security. Those threats are not accepted by American born Muslims.

"To speak about security and threatening people, I think that anyone who as we said has a heart alive and feels for humanity would shake their head at reading statements like that," says Dawood Yasin.

Yasin is the prayer leader for the Masjid Al-Islam Mosque in New Haven. His mosque was vandalized this week during the holy month of Ramadan. They already feel like targets. They say this new video doesn't help anyone.

"We have Muslims who are killing innocents, Christians who are killing innocents, and Jews who are killing innocents," says Dr. Jimmy Jones, Educational Coordinator for Masjid al-Islam. "Can we take the moral high ground for once."

The Muslims we spoke are concerned about the death toll that the war on terror has taken on Americans and foreigners. They're hoping whomever sits in the Oval Office after November 2nd uses restraint in protecting our country.

Who wants to take bets that these whiny fops consider this post an "act of intolerance"?

[Alouette]

What organization currently sponsors the killing innocents in the name of Christ?

The only name that comes to mind is....JIMMY JONES!!!!

[A Real Dan Fan... NOT]

The Muslim American community wants the high ground ONLY when their butts may be in a sling.

They will NOT condemn the actions of terrorists.
They will NOT condemn Saddam.
They will NOT condemn bin Laden.

Personally, I don't give a damn what they think.

"It's just disheartening."

Yeah, well...we feel FAR stronger than that towards you.

Muslims wary of backlash following Bin Laden tape

They should be wary. Most Muslims, including those who claim to be American, claim allegiance to Islam first. That means, they are happy to use to freedoms we enjoy in this country to kill us. So, they need to feel uncomfortable and wary . . . . . and downright afraid as long as they hold that belief. We, Americans, don't countenance traitors. If your heart doesn't belong to the USA, please feel free to take your sorry butt back to an Islamic country where you can murder and be murdered indiscriminately. That's all that Islam is about.

This whining liar needs to LEAVE MY COUNTRY.

NOW!

Just go back to whatever IslamoFascist hellhole you and your vile "congregation" crawled out of.

Islam is a management tool for dictators, what we need is a major reform in this religion. stop call us infidel's,and would someone take down that prayer call speaker in Dearborn, Mich.

Here's an idea for Dr. Jimmy and others in his predicament:

How about some BIG signs and posters near or around your mosque saying CLEARLY that you think Osama and terrorists are scum. Or there is a reason, you don't want do that?

[Bellflower]

Maybe Muslims will vote Bush because they are tired of OBL?

With a little luck, that'll be the case...Since you and your religion teach that it's your obligation and duty to kill American men, women and children if we don't succumb to your cult, I in no way view any of you as Americans...You are an insult to America by calling yourselves Americans...

[JesseJane]

yep.. 'nuff said.

[conshack]

I would say that they either need to clean their house or face the fact that they are the enemy.


It's been more than 3 years since 9/11 and I'm yet to see anything that resembles a sincere grouping of Muslims that have taken a stance against the attackers or the radicals in general. It sure seems they want all the benefits of living in our society without the responsibility of contributing to the cause.
If terrorism continues in the USA, then there will be a call for interment at some point. Then you'd really start hearing the squacking.

Islam is a management tool for dictators,

That about it in a nut shell. Keep the people down, while diverting the blame elsewhere, all the while living the high life.

I try to love everyone, but I hope and trust President Bush will not "use restraint" in protecting this country. Altogether too much "restraint" was shown by the last administration.

Amen! Preach on, brother.

"They're hoping whomever sits in the Oval Office after November 2nd uses restraint in protecting our country."

In other words, they're for Kerry. I hope that our leaders do not use restraint in protecting our country. I hope they use fierce utter destruction against our enemies.

"Dr. Jimmy, who started all this? Who's at the root of the problem, Dr. Jimmy? You know you'd like to say the Jews, but you know the time's not quite ripe for that, eh Dr. Jimmy? You anti-Semitic piece of trash."

Yeah, he sounds like another Jim Jones I remember. I wonder if he has any Kool-Aid?

[ALLAH-ya-out-a-here]

wouldn't it be nice at GWB next state of the union address, he says, TEAR DOWN THESE MOSQUES

[TimPatriot]

If they're so f'ing worried about backlash, then why don't they vote for Bush to show they want to get rid of Bin Hasbeen.

[pennyfarmer]

Really I think they are afraid their 7-11 will not sell enough Big Gulps to cover their protection money.

You don't like discrimination....... Prove to us that you are against the Islamofaciasts.

Oh and sell hot dogs at half price.
