Hysteria over Muslims spreads all over America!

[Effluo]

The world is a very dangerous place.

Yes, and we must make it safe for Americans everywhere.

I think Keith Olbermann is another O'rielly, but he hit the spot on this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZpT2Muxoo0

Thanks for that link, the comments are ridiculous but that's what our public is nowadays. Loved this quote the most from him:

Why did we go into Iraq again?... I mean the official explanation... "To free the world and especially Iraq’s citizens of the tyranny of Saddam Hussein." That's its supporter's defense of the Iraq invasion to this hour. Well who lives in Iraq? Muslims! I hate to reveal this to anyone on the right side but when they say Iraq is 65% Shia and 32% Sunni, you do know that Shia and Sunni are both forms of the Muslim religion right? We sacrificed 4,415 of our military personal in Iraq to save Muslims and there are thousands of us still airtight to protect Muslims but we don’t want Muslims to open a combination culinary school and prayer space in Manhattan?

America is devoid of logic. That's a real good point but sadly it will fall on deaf ears plugged with Big Macs and Bentleys.

The Olbermann video was fantastic. It's funny to see the comments rabidly attacking his statements. Oh Youtube, you slay me.

Also:

This is America dammit! And in America when someone comes for your neighbor, or his Bible, or his Torah, or his Atheist Manifesto, or his Qu'ran you and I do what our fathers did and our grandmothers did and our founders did, you and I speak up!

A+ Olbermann, A+

I just got informed on another board that "95% of all terrorists are Muslims"... I was quite surprised to learn this, I mean... I guess if you listen to major news channels as though they were preaching the gospel of your faith, you could state that... but I had to check to make sure what I thought reality was, actually held water.

All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 94% that Aren’t

CNN recently published an article entitled Study: Threat of Muslim-American terrorism in U.S. exaggerated; according to a study released by Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, “the terrorist threat posed by radicalized Muslim-Americans has been exaggerated.”

Yet, Americans continue to live in mortal fear of radical Islam, a fear propagated and inflamed by right wing Islamophobes. If one follows the cable news networks, it seems as if all terrorists are Muslims. It has even become axiomatic in some circles to chant: “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but nearly all terrorists are Muslims.” Muslims and their “leftist dhimmi allies” respond feebly, mentioning Waco as the one counter example, unwittingly affirming the belief that “nearly all terrorists are Muslims.”

But perception is not reality. The data simply does not support such a hasty conclusion. On the FBI’s official website, there exists a chronological list of all terrorist attacks committed on U.S. soil from the year 1980 all the way to 2005. That list can be accessed here (scroll down all the way to the bottom).


According to this data, there were more Jewish acts of terrorism within the United States than Islamic (7% vs 6%). These radical Jews committed acts of terrorism in the name of their religion. These were not terrorists who happened to be Jews; rather, they were extremist Jews who committed acts of terrorism based on their religious passions, just like Al-Qaeda and company.

Yet notice the disparity in media coverage between the two. It would indeed be very interesting to construct a corresponding pie chart that depicted the level of media coverage of each group. The reason that Muslim apologists and their “leftist dhimmi allies” cannot recall another non-Islamic act of terrorism other than Waco is due to the fact that the media gives menial (if any) coverage to such events. If a terrorist attack does not fit the “Islam is the perennial and existential threat of our times” narrative, it is simply not paid much attention to, which in a circuitous manner reinforces and “proves” the preconceived narrative. It is to such an extent that the average American cannot remember any Jewish or Latino terrorist; why should he when he has never even heard of the Jewish Defense League or the Ejercito Popular Boricua Macheteros? Surely what he does not know does not exist!

The Islamophobes claim that Islam is intrinsically a terrorist religion. The proof? Well, just about every terrorist attack is Islamic, they retort. Unfortunately for them, that’s not quite true. More like six percent. Using their defunct logic, these right wingers ought now to conclude that nearly all acts of terrorism are committed by Latinos (or Jews). Let them dare say it…they couldn’t; it would be political and social suicide to say such a thing. Most Americans would shut down such talk as bigoted; yet, similar statements continue to be said of Islam, without any repercussions.

Great. Thanks to Max, Kuya will hate Jews even more now.

The Obama being a Muslim thing, makes me wonder if those crazy Republicans forgot about Rev. Wright.

[Kuya]

Not only do i hate America, now i also hate Jews!

[Max™]

Oops *bites his knuckle* did I do that?

[Dimmauk]

I'm still scared a White Redneck Jesus Freak is going to blow up another Federal Building.

[Demosthenes11]

I hate jews and the japanese and america. I beat you kuya

[Denchi]

I'm kind of indifferent to the whole situation, but right, we live in a free country, a Mosque can be built there.

But another way to look at it is....with freedom comes responsibility. Shouldn't they be more sensible when looking for a place to build it?

right? why build a giant monument to Mohammed right on the spot where his all of his followers killed thousands of people?

so insensitive; those towel heads really need to gain some perspective

[Denchi]

Not really what I'm getting at, but I see where this is gonna go anyways.

But shouldn't the people protesting it be more sensible and choose a cause that has actual meaning? Shouldn't they spend this energy raising awareness for something that matters or raising money for a charity that benefits a group of people that actually need help?

How do you decide in this case who should be the bigger entity and step down from their position?

I think there is a lot of danger in if the people who want to build the cultural center (STOP CALLING IT A MOSQUE!!!) stepping down because it sends a message to the others that this sort of retarded unfounded bigoted view is ok and we will bend to appease them. We want these people to get the exact opposite message, this kind of behavior is NOT ok in America and they won't be appeased in anyway so they should just give up on discriminating against an entire religion.

[Denchi]

Oops, Cultural Center.....

Yeah, I can agree with those things. The protests are ridiculous and don't help anyone. I guess I just wish they wouldn't have made this an issue, and chosen to build it somewhere else from the start. It's almost like forcing acceptance down our throat, rather then letting it come about naturally. I personally don't care that much, but as we can see, there are plenty of people who do, and this Cultural Center isn't going to make them happier or more eager to accept Muslims for what they are....people.

Before you utter another word, please watch that full olberman video. You can't even see the burlington coat factory from ground zero.

Did you read the thread? Other mosques are being prostested around the country.
