For more than the last decade in Florida, a Pamela Gellar-type union between white supremacists and anti-Muslim Jews has repeatedly threatened me, harassed me, and made multiple attempts to take my life (and make it look like an accident) by running me off the road with their vehicles, angering me with terrible insults right before I have to get in my car to drive hoping that Iāll get in a car accident, repeatedly harassing me to make me fall out of my kayak and drown, and with several other methods.
They repeatedly tell me that they had my father killed through his own doctors. For example, every time I kayak in the Cape Coral, FL canals, or in Pine Island, FL, or in Sanibel, FL, or in the Florida Keys, etc. multiple boats pass me and yell, āWe (white supremacists) killed your father!ā Both white supremacists and anti-Muslim Jews claimed to have killed my father through his own doctors, (with errant medical treatments, etc.). I donāt know if this is true or not, but theyāre not supposed to be scaring minorities away from the health care system like this.
At certain businesses or places that Jewish residents frequent, Iāve been repeatedly harassed by as many as thirty Jewish shoppers at a time, trying to call me the L-word. They arenāt one-to-one battles, theyāre often twenty-people-to-one battles, and Iām often given the explanation that they donāt really care how they get rid of a Muslim.
Theyāre intentions are sinister, and itās much more than overly racist people getting agitated and angry. They often tell me directly that theyāre trying to damage my heart with the constant harassment and insults, by constantly dragging me into racial arguments (eg. at the boat dock), repeatedly trying to run my off the road when Iām driving, etc. Like I said, itās been going on for ten years and I can actually feel theyāre intentions. Itās designed to kill you. Theyāre level of hatred is off the charts, and they often tell me that they want to give me a long, painful death.
Itās ridiculous. The white supremacists give me double-punishment because in addition to being Muslim, they also feel that I was partially raised by Jews in New Jersey, and traditionally they really donāt like Jewish people here. They even have classless names like Jewfish for fish species that they commonly catch like the Goliath Grouper. Northerners donāt talk like that.
Iām a non-practicing Muslim from a northern Democrat family, and Iām much less racist than the average person in the United States. But I fell out of favor with the Jews (for reasons that I understand) which made it very dangerous for me. From what Iāve been told, several of the white supremacists here in Florida have been willing to carry out this targeted harassment for the anti-Muslim Jews in exchange for more job opportunities, etc. I actually see several of these people getting promotions after harassing me.
To further put things into context, multiple groups including the white supremacists and Jews have repeatedly told me that itās basically a very bad multiway racial, political, and religious fight, and that theyāve made me a very bizarre symbol of this fight. For example, the Jews and white supremacists still fight each other here, but theyāre willing to gang up on Muslims. Race relations are terrible in general right now, especially in Florida, with groups teaming up only so that they can do harm to another group. Furthermore, my harassers have been repeatedly telling me that there is a very bad underground war between the North and the South right now, and that they see my family as a liberal symbol of the North, (a minority family that came to the United States during the Civil Rights movement), that they want to destroy. My family was partially raised by conservatives in the Midwest but Iāve been told by multiple people in this white supremacist network that they got sick of us, conservatives need a scapegoat, and that many are in cahoots with these Florida Conservatives. Furthermore, from what both sides tell me, the North-South battle isnāt just a political one. Both sides have been using scary mob-like tactics, that never get identified as a hate crime, like running someone off of the road, and not getting caught. Iāve been intimidated from reporting this to the Florida police in a multitude of ways. In fact, the police often join in on the harassment, by swerving into me with their car on multiple occasions, by openly yelling insults at me at the grocery store, etc. I hear scary grumblings from African-Americans here saying that āFlorida cops are like that,ā and that āwe really donāt like the cops hosting a pretty dangerous racist event like this,ā etc. Iām from a family that was taught to respect police officers, but I didnāt grow up in the South. Minorities have a different perspective here.
The anti-Muslim Jews play both sides of the fence, trying to get me killed by white supremacists, while voting Democrat and fighting racism in other arenas. But itās not just anti-Muslim Jews that do this. Democrats in Florida have told me on several occasions that theyāll join in on a movement to eliminate a Muslim, (basically a public lynching). They make it a point to tell me that the racism spans political parties and that too many groups in Florida are anti-Muslim right now. I definitely donāt plan on retiring here like my father did.
Minorities in Florida are well aware of the heavy racism in some of these areas where Iām being harassed and targeted. There was a lawsuit filed by African-American educators that claims that the Lee County School District discriminates against African-American employees:
Suit against Lee district alleges pattern of discrimination
Lee County residents openly flaunt this attitude in public. For example, at the grocery store in Cape Coral, Caucasian shoppers angrily yell at me āThe white person gets the better job here!ā
I understand why Florida is the state with the second most hate groups in the country, yet very few hate crimes are reported here. Plenty of hate crimes occur in Florida. Iāve been repeatedly harassed, threatened, and followed by a network of white supremacists for more than a decade. But there is a culture here in Florida that seriously intimidates minorities from reporting hate crimes to the police. Furthermore, these hate groups basically operate as loose organizations that lie dormant, mobilizing their racist citizens when they decide to eliminate a minority that they dislike, or to eliminate someone that they deem to be a āwhite personās problem.ā
