actually it wasnt at an Islamic Center, It was a city center rented out by muslims for the night Aisha Send a noteboard - 13/03/2011 08:29:10 AM
And the city received 75 emails from "concerned citizens" who wanted the city to deny the muslims to rent the place out.

I was kind of amazed at some of the things that were being yelled at the rally. "Go home and beat your wife, she deserves a good beating" umm yeah cuz only Muslims beat their wives, no American or christian man has ever been arrested for domestic abuse, ever!

Or how about the dumb ass lady who kept yelling "No Sharia!"
Uhh yeah, have enough faith in our country and constitution and know sharia could never take over the US. Also 99% of muslims probably would prefer it didnt come here, we are perfectly happy with the laws of the land.
The stupid cunt in the middle of the video that says her redneck son and his other redneck Marine friends would "love to send these terrorists to paradise " is a city councilwoman. The Other two men are congressmen I believe.

This protest was organized in part by the Tea Party.

i posted this as a response to a different thread, but i think it probably deserves its own spot (with acknowledgment to aisha for the suggestion). the back story:

an islamic center in orange county, california held a fundraiser to benefit women's homeless shelters. one of the local city council members gave a speech in protest saying the muslims were "pure unadulterated evil" and insinuating that the money being raised for women's shelters and schools is actually going to fund terrorists to attack the US.

the video is making the rounds as evidence that the tea party activists are inherently racist, but i think it shows more that people can be whipped into a furor over any ignorant idea no matter how stupid and illogical.

since you are OK with judging all Tea Part memebers by the actions of a few - 13/03/2011 01:03:42 PM 1081 Views
The problem with that is that Muslims aren't electing terrorists to city councils or Congress. - 13/03/2011 08:13:38 PM 1025 Views
