Refugee returns home to find it spray-painted with nasty anti-Muslim graffiti
CNN ^ | 3/30 | Joe Sutton

Posted on 04/02/2017 8:12:14 PM PDT by ErikJohnsky

Hasel Afshar moved from Iran to the US seven years ago as a refugee. In that time, he's had his share of run-ins with xenophobes who's yelled at him to go back to his country or threatened him with violence.

But none of that prepared him for what greeted him when he came home earlier this week. The house in Troutdale, Oregon, had been ransacked and laced with graffiti. The vandals smashed his door with an ax, slashed his furniture, and spray-painted graffiti everywhere.

....

"The funny thing, I'm not Muslim," Afshar told KPTV.

“what I’m saying is that incidents like this make good faith skeptics of Islam, like us, look bad.”

That is precisely why Muslims do this. I don’t remember a single authentic case.

If this is indeed a fake news story, I wonder if that will make the headlines too? I doubt it.

From what I have heard Bahai is a bunch of caca like Scientology, but none the less not terrorists.

The Baha'i Faith is far removed from what some here have alleged:

Living a dozen miles west of Ground Zero in lower Manhattan, I view any action taken by Americans to keep Muslims (or those they perceive as Muslim) away from them as self defense. May sound cold or stupid or childish, but “We Know”...

We are supposed to think that Trump-supporting Islamophobes are responsible. It is far more likely that more recent “arrivals” from terrorist countries are the source of the problem. They bring their oppression and thirst for blood with them as they migrate around the world.

There are Bahá’ís in prison in Iran just for being Baha’is. It’s sad that there are people in the United States that don’t know the difference. It’s as if Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany were attacked for being Nazis just they had a German last name.

Sorry. Not buying it. Here's a quote from their Holy Leader...

"… Whoso believes in the Qur’án and recognizes its Divine origin, and yet hesitates, though it be for one moment, to admit that these soul-stirring words are endowed with the same regenerating power, has most assuredly erred in his judgment and has strayed from the path of justice." -- Bahá’u’lláh

The headline about it being confirmed a fraud would be posted on the backpages of a newspaper.

That’s why many or most of these attacks are staged false flags

Your situation is unique, and due to those events, always will be unique. End justifies means, in your case.

Somewhere lies the truth, but it sure isn’t with CNN, the number one enemy of American Patriots and our president. This story, one out of 320 million people, is going viral thanks to the old media empire.

Yes, if it was reported at all. After all, if it's a hoax, it wouldn't fit CNN's narrative, to retract it.

Yes Bahaii is derived from Islam but there are not transnational terror groups who hate the West, plot attacks or carry them out. They wouldnt have their world HQ in Israel if they did. The Muslims week to supress Bahaii mainly bc of its commission of jihad.

Thanks, but I wouldn’t blame anyone in this country for looking at it the same way. We just get to have monuments in each of the towns within sight of Lower Manhattan with the names of our dead locals on them...
