Since the tenth anniversary of the 9-11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in DC is rapidly approaching, the Islamophobic comments are not only coming from GOP candidates like Herman Cain, but Republican politicans, fundies, right wing pundits and others calling themselves proud conservatives.
Adding to the constant drone of anti-Muslim rhetoric are the efforts of several Republican controlled state legislatures to enact bans against Sharia law, wingnut preacher Terry Jones burning a Quran, with deadly consequences to a UN mission and towns from New York to Murfreesboro tying to stop the establishment of mosques.
Um people, ever heard of the First Amendment to the US Constitution? The Bill of Rights?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
'Religious Freedom' cuts both ways, including the ability to be free FROM religion. It does not mean I get to be as bigoted and hateful as I want and hide behind the Bible to do so.
And oh yeah, since y'all like to scurr your 'Real American' voters in thinking there's an Al Qaeda terrorist under their gated suburban community beds,.as Chris Rock once said in a comedy routine that had some serious truth to it, he was more afraid of Al Cracker than Al Qaeda.
I recall the name of the instigator of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing was Timothy McVeigh.
But back to the Islamophobia you're pimping for electoral gain.
It is a dangerous political game you're playing, but then again you conservafools never care about how your political rhetoric affects the lives of people unless they look like you.
