(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.
That deserves a big EWWWWWWWW ... Now I have to go disinfect my eyes...
The Problem Lies--as "Stated Above;"--If Members of a "Group/Sect" Protect individuals who Murder/Harm Americans; that "Group/Sect" can expect NO Protection from it's fellow Americans.
In fact, there is a Strong Likelihood that that Those of us "Fellow Americans," "In the Know," will quietly arrange for the permanent removal of that sect from American Society--"BY WHATEVER MEANS!!"
"Islam" is a "Foreign Body" in American Culture; if it becomes (or Enables) ANY form of Sociopathy, the True Backbone of American Culture will EXPUNGE IT (By "Vigilante Justice," if Necessary!)
"Islam" exists "on probation" in America, &, so far, it's Proponents have offered Little to justify our acceptance of it!!
Doc
I bet they wil consider it intolerent. As for Islamic terrorists, it goes way before 9/11. What about the 1998 American embassy bombingsin Kenya and Tanzania or USS Cole attack in 2000?
The anti-Christian and anti-Jewish literature is smack of what Communists and Nazis believed in.
Again... me, me, me, us, us.
That's what I was thinking too. Communists, Nazis, and Muslims share a lot in common. Communists hate Jews for being capitalistic pigs. Nazis hate Jews because they are sub-human. Muslims hate Jews for the same reason as Communists and Nazis did. The Muslim and Nazis brotherhood goes back to their early days. After World War II ended, many Nazis and collaborators fled to Muslim countries, mainly Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, and Saudi Arabia.
If you the Muslims in the US cared at all about their security, they would be leading the way in the War on Terror.
You have spoken the truth, Doc.
The problem is there has been too MUCH 'restraint' in protecting our country- and not nearly enough backlash.
The whole world is in fear of terrorists.
It's about time the terrorists know fear.
OOOPPS! My mind got ahead of my fingers.
They should have worried hours after 9-11 occurred. It was at that time that their unholy mosques would have been burned to the ground.
There may, however, as the situation becomes even uglier, be a time in the future when all these "peaceful" readers and adherents to the Koran may be interred.
