believe what you ******* want, you ******* lying bigot.
twist my words all you want, you ignorant low life.
what i am saying is front page magazine is a piece of jewish crap that doesn't care how much trouble it stirs up as long as it serves israel's and jew's agenda.
i am saying that muslim americans are terrified in this country and i will lay a lot of that fear at the feet of zionists.
so, are you saying that this alleged cheering more than justifies killing ten sikhs and beating cabbies within an inch of their lives. are you saying you support spitting on muslim children and yelling obscenities at them as they walk to school.
do not put words in my mouth, you sucky SOB.
i don't support cheering but i sure as hell can understand why some people in the arab world cheer, just as i can understand why some riggin' jews/zionists cheered the bombing of gaza. but you are to stupid and imbued in your own bigotry to understand that there is no difference between you and them.
Why are you giving us this baloney that Muslim Americans are terrified in this country? Do you happen to know all the Muslims in America? Go into some Middle Eastern markets and see the Muslim Americans shopping with other Americans and see how at ease they are mingling with other Americans. If they were so petrified living in America, you wouldn't see loads of cars in front of a Muslim's home where he is having guests over to break the fast. He would be petrified that a gang of other Americans would throw molotov cocktails into his home with his guests inside. Seal must think that Muslims are so petrified here in America so that is why they allow their kids to be friends with other kids. In fact a friend in the Los Angeles area was telling me about a Muslim boy who went to so many of his friends' Bar Mitzvahs that he told his parents he wanted a Bar Mitzvah too. Consequently his parents threw him a big party to which he could invite all his friends. Maybe Seal is the one to give us the tallies of hate crimes against each group here in America.
I think Muslim Americans are very concerned and have a right to be. Undiscrimminating anti-Muslim sentiment is on the rise as are hate crimes against Muslims. When you have a popular Muslim-American Reality Show threatened with boycotts and cancellation because it shows an American Muslim family in a positive light you have to ask - what the hell is going on here? When you have elected officials calling for a moratorium on building mosques, calling for loyalty oaths from Muslim Americans, calling for bans on Islamic dress, legislating "anti-Sharia" laws in absence of any support for religious law by the American Muslim community), cries of "foul" when a local public pool with a large Muslim community offers a women only swim hour - what would you, if you were an AMERICAN Muslim think? What would you think when you see American religious figures burning your holy book on the television news while spouting hate against you?
If I was an American Muslim, I would be afraid and heart broken. I'd be worried - will my Mosque be the next to be burned? Sprayed with hateful graffitti? Am I safe? Are my children safe? Why do they hate me - I'm American!
FBI: Dramatic Spike in Hate Crimes Targeting Muslims
Anti-Muslim hate crimes soared by 50% in 2010, skyrocketing over 2009 levels in a year marked by the incendiary rhetoric of Islam-bashing politicians and activists, especially over the so-called “Ground Zero Mosque” in New York City.
Although the national statistics compiled by the FBI each year are known to vastly understate the real level of hate crime, they do offer telling indications of some trends. The latest statistics, showing a jump from 107 anti-Muslim hate crimes in 2009 to 160 in 2010, seem to reflect the consequences of a rise in anti-Muslim rhetoric from groups like Stop Islamization of America. Much of that vitriol was aimed at stopping an Islamic center in lower Manhattan.
It was the highest level of anti-Muslim hate crimes since 2001, the year of the Sept. 11 attacks, when the FBI reported 481 anti-Muslim hate crimes.
Now in terms of actual numbers - Jews are the targets of more hate crimes. According to the FBI, 13.2 percent of religiously-motivated hate crimes were directed against Muslims. 65.4 percent were directed at Jews: the FBI reports 887 hate crimes against Jews, as opposed to 160 against Muslims.
However, it's also important to look at trends (where do we see the increases) and relative population sizes as well as the willingness to report such. I suspect the Muslim community is less likely to report hate crimes than the Jewish community considering the volume of public and even politically endorsed talk demonizing Muslims.
According to Pew -
Statistics on Religion in America Report -- Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life - Muslims are 0.6 percent of our population while Jews are 1.7 - almost 3 times as many. Jews are still the targets of far more reported hate crimes than Muslims but Muslims have seen the greatest increase while anti-Jewish hate crimes
have seen a decline.
Unlike American Jews, Muslims do not have the strong public advocacy groups that the Jews have managed to build up - groups that can keep a tally on hate crimes, keep public awareness up and advocate on their behalf. Muslim advocacy groups tend to be demonized and their claims marginalized - as you seek to do with the topic of hate crimes against Muslims. Hate crimes against anyone is deplorable and public tolerance of such (including attempting to marginalize such claims) are what leads to eventual public acceptance and the belief that those crimes are justified. They are not.
