As of early Wednesday morning, a crowdfunding campaign started by Muslim activists had raised over $70,000 in an effort to help repair a vandalized Jewish cemetery near St. Louis, Missouri.

"Muslim Americans stand in solidarity with the Jewish-American community to condemn this horrific act of desecration against the Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery," read the crowdfunding campaign's website, which was spearheaded by Muslim-American activists Linda Sarsour and Tarek El-Messidi. "We also extend our deepest condolences to all those who have been affected and to the Jewish community at large."

The effort comes after more than 170 headstones were damaged late Sunday or early Monday at Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery, located in the St. Louis suburb of University City, according to a report by the Associated Press on Tuesday.

As of early Wednesday morning, the LaunchGood-hosted campaign had raised more than $58,000, far surpassing the original $20,000 fundraising goal that the organizers said had been met in just three hours.

Guilt trip?

Publicity stunt?

or Cover up?

Taqiyya. Be nice 'til the Infidel is off-guard, then strike.

I would also add the Ferguson looters and arsonists. They tend to be the most anti-Semitic of them all, right up there with muzzies.

This lends credibility to the story that the DNC establishment has been excited about anti-semitism to help Tom Perez at the expense of Keith Ellison. The Islamic counter appears to be to fund repairs and claim, “it’s not us moderates”. I’m still rooting for Ellison. He indeed defines “moderate” in a DNC sense and will help to identify where the DNC truly stands...

I lived in University City 35 years ago. It was mostly black then. I bet you couldn’t find a white racist in University City to save your life now. In all probability it was a bunch of black kids but the BSM wo’t say so, though they know it. FAKE NEWS.

It is a real crock.

I am not buying it. The Koran, Hadith and Sunnah have more Jew hatred than Mein Kampf.

Iran admits it every Friday, with death to the Jews, death to America.

Most certainly. And also maybe a little fear. Since Trump is proceeding to send wetbacks back south of the border, perhaps the towel heads are getting scared of being returned to their various sand boxes.

The Miuslims I know in Texas really are American and Texan first. Know several personally. They will have a beer or three with me and hate the terrroriist Muslims in the Middle East. Of course, there are some outliers, but my Muslim friends despise them, too. Not an act. A few of them even served in the Gulf (yes, on the US side). They don’t talk about it muich, but then again most combat vets don’t. So this does not surprise me.

“See how nice we are?” It’s all bull$hit to confuse the infidels.

This is good politics. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, Kudos to them.

My vote is for staged publicity stunt.

Or maybe just people doing nice things for others? Like when the mosque was burned in Texas recently. Local Jewish community opened their synagogue for them and raised money to help them rebuild.

Excellent!

While I am wary of their religion, I don’t believe all Muslims are evil. This was a good deed and should be accepted as such.

Me too!

There is some hope for Islam—Not everyone is so filled with hate-—how long before this man is beheaded? A week?
