Appearing alongside with Dr. Mohsin Jaffer, a Muslim constituent she invited as her guest to tonight's State of the Union address, DNC chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) told MSNBC it was "incumbent" upon her to stand with Muslims because as a Jew she knows what persecution is. Wasserman Schultz on MSNBC:
I've been appalled as so many of my constituents have been appalled at the vitriol and the hatred and the appalling reactions of some towards Muslims and Muslim-Americans and I felt for me as a member of a minority religion myself, a religion, Judaism, that has been persecuted throughout our existence. It's incumbent upon us to stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters and make sure that we can push back hard on that vitriol and hatred and say absolutely not. Not in the United States of America. These are not American values. No better way than to invite Muslim-American constituents to join us for the most significant speech that is given by the President of the United States all year long and the greatest democratic institution in the world.
"It is not the faith that is bad, it is some miscreants that are doing things in the name of Islam," -SNIP-

“When was Debbie ever persecuted?”

""It is not the faith that is bad..."
Yeah it is. The religion and some, many, but not all of its adherents.
Islamic doctrine is that Muslims are to be the Ubermenschen.

It’s been obvious for years this woman suffers a severe disconnect with reality. That’s why the DNC put her where she is.

Which Muslims are being persecuted? The ones burning Christians alive in coffins? The ones raping women and children to death? The ones beheading innocents, or perhaps those who are crucifying innocent children?
Oh, I know, the moderate muslims who have heretofore remained deafeningly silent about all this. Yes, they must be the persecuted ones DWS is talking about!

How about standing instead with Christians who are being beheaded, burned and crucified.

Sorry for the grossness, but that ignorant sl*t is full of sh*t.
There is simply no other way of saying it .

The popeâs message is being heard and followed. Debbie Wasserman Shultz listens to a lot of people, but I doubt the Pope is a regular.

Liberals see Muslims as “persecuted” and “victims” and want to enlist them in destroying the US. Little do they know that the Muslims will not tolerate their atheism once they gain power.
