Muslims Brace For Backlash

Full story: www.local12.com

It's a grim reality that whenever someone who's a member of an ethnic group does something horrendous, the decent, law abiding members of that same group must prepare for the fallout. And so it is in the wake of the Ft. Hood shootings... Muslims all across the country are being advised to be very careful. The local head of the Council on American Islamic Relations watched in horror as the grim realities of the Ft. Hood shootings was revealed. Karen Dabdoub, C.A.I.R. Executive Director: "The first thing that goes through all of our minds is please God don't let it be a muslim." But the shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan is indeed Muslim ...

from local12:

"The Koran is very clear and says, if you kill or take the life of an innocent person God considers it as if you took the lives of all of humanity ... "

Except for "mischief in the land": does anyone have a different/better translation of exactly what that mischief might be?

How many times have I heard this same Qu'ranic verse incompletely quoted.

Who the frick cares about their unfounded fears? We're more concerned about preventing Muslims from acting violently against Americans yet again. Are American muslims concerned about THAT?

Why are you so concerned about preventing only Muslims from acting violently?

Why is it that when the same acts are perpetrated by non muslims religion is never brought up?

I think it's about time for Muslims to play the same hand that non muslims play,

From now on we should consider blaming democracy for every single act of senseless violence perpetrated in western society.

Because all senseless acts of violence perpetrated in these 'free' countries are directly related to the 'freedoms' allowed such as drinking alcohol, crazed music, and insanity on television.

Another way of saying free from servitude to God.

Zowie! AP says that there has been "immediate" anti-Muslim "backlash" following the mass murders by an Islamic jihadist at Fort Hood! Good gravy, what happened? Did armed bands of furious Islamophobes throw molotov cocktails at mosques? Did ferocious white supremacists maul fragile little girls in hijabs on their way to school? Did angry bigots spit at pious imams quietly going about their business?

Has there been any report of any innocent, random Muslim being attacked in a "backlash" after the Fort Hood jihad?

Nope. Not one. Americans are decent people. Americans believe people are innocent until proven guilty. But Ibrahim Hooper and his fellow thugs at CAIR need hate crimes so that they can claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from such small matters as the jihad at Fort Hood, and they have the clueless and/or complicit mainstream media in their hip pocket. And so we witness the strange phenomenon of stories of Muslims fearing a backlash far outnumbering actual incidents of backlash. In fact, the score is about umpteen to zero.

all we get after the promise of news of "immediate" backlash are various stories about mosques and Muslims asking for special police protection, etc. So in reality, the story should be headlined, "Muslims claim victim status in wake of Fort Hood jihad attack," or "Muslim victimhood whining immediate after Fort Hood jihad massacre," or some such.

But the only actual incidents of "backlash" that AP can come up with are incidents in which people like me call the Fort Hood massacre a jihad attack -- as if it is "Islamophobic" and hateful to note that a guy shouting "Allahu akbar" as he gunned people down, and who gave out Korans hours before he started shooting people, and who expressed sympathy for suicide attackers, may just have been motivated by the Islamic jihad doctrine of warfare against unbelievers.

If that's "backlash," I'm Barack Obama. That's actually something known as "honest reporting." But what would AP know about that?

Playing the victim card: Florida mosque requests extra police protection, even though it wasn't threatened
The thuggish Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is playing the mainstream media like an accordion today, knowing that no reporter will ever dare ask them why they're condemning yesterday's jihad attack while opposing every anti-terror measure that has ever come down the pike, and smearing and defaming those who are trying to stand up for freedom against Islamic supremacism.

CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding case, has claimed that "anti-Muslim hate crimes" have risen sharply in the U.S. since 9/11. In fact, the rate of such crimes has actually dropped. CAIR knows well that victimhood is big business: insofar as they can claim protected victim status for Muslims in the U.S., they can deflect unwanted scrutiny and any critical examination of how jihadists use Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism.

That's most likely why CAIR and others have not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating "hate crimes." They want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they can use them for political points and as weapons to intimidate people into remaining silent about the jihad threat.

And so it is again today. We should be hearing from Muslim spokesmen in the U.S. that they are determined to root out jihad violence and Islamic supremacism from the Muslim community in America, and are instituting transparent and inspectable programs to teach against those things. But instead, "Muslims fear backlash" stories are blanketing the mainstream media, and this mosque is making a grandstand play for victim status even in the absence of any actual threats.

"Islamic Center for PEACE in Fort Myers requests additional police patrols," by Rachel Revehl for the News-Press, November 6 (thanks to all who sent this in):

11:09 A.M.-- Following the shootings at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas on Thursday, those at the Islamic Center for PEACE in Fort Myers have requested additional police patrols, though there have so far been no threats to the center.
Alibaba Lumumba, president of the center, said anytime there is a crime allegedly committed by a Muslim, the whole Muslim community suffers.

"But when there is a Christian who commits a crime, we don't get into his religion or whether he wears a cross or not," Lumumba said. "It's a lack of knowledge about what Islam is and what it is not. Such acts of violence, especially if there were women, children or elderly who were hurt, are not condoned by Islam."...

If you really believe that the so called Moderate Muslims give a big Hazrat's ass. You are deceived worse than they all are. They secretly LOVE and rejoice at these attacks because it promotes their cult. Ask Walid Shoebat, former Jihadist. Watch and learn how much they actually do to stop them. Its all lip service. Its a fine art of taqiyya. Islam is a religon thriving on nothing but lies and force.

Lets just watch and learn by the moderate Muslims actions. We will see how many programs thay set up to stop the jihadists. So far, in every country, they do NOTHING but lip service. Taqiyya is a fine art of Satan. Walid Shoebat, former terrorist for Islam, said He secretly rejoiced and outwardly showed sympathy to the victims. Islam is all hypocrisy.

Because they don't do it for religious reasons. Muslims always try to bring up Timothy McVeigh as their patented excuse, but his behavior had nothing at all to do with religion and he didn't even have a priest before his execution. This was about religion. It was about him taking revenge for his "Muslim brothers". This guy was no psychopath, he was a Psychiatrist. He was not a psychopath at all, he was a Muslim.

Nobody pays people to yell Allahu Akbar before they kill people, and yet we hear Muslims saying that as they kill or commit violence almost every single day. At what point do we finally see that this behavior is not the exception, but rather is semi common?

Don't you get tired of having to continually ignore or make excuses for one event after another?

It is time we stop letting muslims immigrate into the USA. They are unable to understand American values or assimilate into them.
We are ALL at risk for being murdered by muslims just for being non-muslim.
According to islam, dying as a martyr is the ONLY sure way to enter muslim paridise. That should tell us all that we need to know about islam.

There was a US Army Sargeant, a Muslim on the BBC news defending his religion. He also said the Muslims should be defending Americans first.

That surely only applies to their fellow Muslims, because the Koran is clear about dealing with non-believers in a brutal fashion.

What were the antics of Muslims on 9-11 if not hate crimes?

It does not suprise me in the least,that Muslims play the role of victim. They love to play the role of being a victim of racial insults. And what ever else they could come up with, that is one of many reasons why they are not very credible.There will always be a credibilitygap with this subnormal society.Muslims are plain in simple terms babies about everything. They will never be RESPECTED ONLY LOOKED ON AS A LIABILITY. Oh the poor, poor Muslim!! Please dont cry, If you people only were NORMAL things would not be so bad.

Deporting the bastards back to the Middle East would be a kindness, not a backlash. Get the bastards the hell out of our country before they cause even more trouble.
