“They’re Trying To Make Us Look Like Racists”

(4 pm. – promoted by ek hornbeck)

If the shoe fits….a crowd of white, mouth breathing racists attacked a black construction worker at the protests of Park 51 because he looked like he was Muslim.

  1. and they have.

    I’m sure if Howard Dean had gone to that hate rally, they’d have been happy to sit down with him and find a compromise

    now isn’t that appropriate?

  5. he opposition to Park51 is mostly based on ignorance fueled by cynical politicians – Republican presidential hopefuls Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich foremost among them. Opinion polls show a strong majority of Americans opposed to “a mosque at Ground Zero”, even though the mosque is in no sense at the World Trade Center site, and it’s hard to seriously describe as “hallowed ground” a precinct whose current occupants include a strip club, a sex shop, beauty parlours and endless fast food outlets. http://www.thenational.ae/apps…

    So what’s really going on in this country?

    MURFREESBORO, TENN. — For more than 30 years, the Muslim community in this Nashville suburb has worshipped quietly in a variety of makeshift spaces — a one-bedroom apartment, an office behind a Lube Express — attracting little notice even after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

    But when the community’s leaders proposed a 52,900-square-foot Islamic center with a school and a swimming pool this year, the vehement backlash from their neighbors caught them by surprise. Opponents crowded county meetings and held a noisy protest in the town square that drew hundreds, some carrying signs such as “Keep Tennessee Terror Free.”

  8. I’m disappointed at the negative reactions to the Mosque Center. Truly disturbing.

    Add: happy to see you created this blog!!

    investigators with the New York City Police Department say it all began Monday night when a 21-year-old man hailed a cab at 24th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan.

    Police say the passenger asked the driver, “Are you Muslim?” When the driver said yes the passenger pulled a knife and slashed him in the throat, arm and lip.
