EFL - Here’s a surprise
Government efforts to crack down on terrorism contributed to an increase in reports of discrimination and harassment of Muslims in the United States last year, an Islamic advocacy group says. The Justice Department called the allegations "unfair."
| Hmmm... Which one to believe? |
The Council on American-Islamic Relations said Tuesday that post-Sept. 11 government actions have broadly targeted Arabs and Muslims.
THEY’RE GOING TO KILL US ALL!!
| Say! Didn't 9-11 actions by Arabs and Muslims broadly target us? I seem to remember something to that effect. Maybe we should ask an al-Ghamdi... |
"The government has employed and is employing policies and practices based on religion and ethnicity," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Washington-based group.
Such as?
Of particular concern were special registration requirements that single out students and visitors from Muslim nations as well as raids on Muslim homes and businesses that ended with no charges being filed.
Well, there was that 9/11 thing a couple of years back. It was in all the papers. There was all that Saudi entity money funding this or that Islamo-Nazi school over here. There was the fact that getting a condemnation of terrorism out of you people that didn’t include the words "Israel" or "Palestine" was impossible. The government’s actions seem prudent in such cases. Don’t like it, you might want to complain to the folks in the Middle East who haven’t found out yet how peaceful your religion is.
CAIR Research director Mohamed Nimer said the government’s actions have encouraged other citizens to target Muslims. In Florida, the report said, there have been a number of attacks against Islamic institutions. In one case, a man drove his truck into a mosque in Tallahassee. No one was hurt.
One nutcase drives into one mosque and CAIR thinks the government encouraged it. CAIR would have to improve to be a joke.
| Tell 'em about the Muslims shooting up and grenading the churches in Pakland. Not to mention the Sunnis detonating in the Shia mosque in Quetta... |
Besides government actions, the council’s Nimer also laid some of the blame for the overall increase on "high profile religious and political leaders making crude anti-Muslim statements, people like Jerry Falwell calling the Prophet Muhammad on national TV a terrorist." Falwell later apologized for the remark.
As opposed to all the peace and moderation coming out of the Middle East these days. Islamic religious leaders have been calling Jews and Christians pigs and monkeys a lot lately. Is CAIR going to insist that these Muslims apologize for these crude anti-Jewish and anti-Christian statements? Thought not.
Falwell is a dumbass who's unable to control his mouth. Cetainly no Muslim preacher would say something like "I am against America until this life ends, until the Day of Judgment;
I am against America even if the stone liquefies.
My hatred of America, if part of it was contained in the universe, it would collapse.
She is the root of all evils, and wickedness on earth. Who else implanted the tyrants in our land, who else nurtured oppression? Oh Muslim Ummah don’t take the Jews and Christians as allies."
"Muslim Brothers in Palestine, do not have any mercy neither compassion on the Jews, their blood, their money, their flesh. Their women are yours to take, legitimately. God made them yours. Why don’t you enslave their women? Why don’t you wage jihad? Why don’t you pillage them?" Why can't Falwell be more like that nice Shaikh Saad Al-Buraik in Soddy Arabia? |
