Proving DHS right
Religious Slurs Used During Assault on Texas Muslim
WASHINGTON, June 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on law enforcement authorities in Texas to investigate an alleged assault on a Muslim in that state as a hate crime.
The alleged victim, a 34-year-old white convert to Islam, reported to CAIR that two former co-workers came to his Gilmer, Texas, home after midnight on Saturday and punched, choked and kicked him without provocation. During the assault, the alleged attackers reportedly used religious slurs such as, “You Muslim piece of sh*t,” “Pray to Allah mother f**ker,” and “You are a traitor … We’re at war with these people.“ At one point during the alleged assault, the victim says he felt the barrel of a gun pressed to his head.
As the attackers left, they allegedly threatened to harm him again if he called the police. He was reportedly told by one assailant, “If I can’t get you, my people will.” The victim has since moved out of his home in response to this threat.
Sundown towns for Muslims. Joy. But that’s not the worst part of this.
The FBI and local police are investigating the incident, but local authorities have not labeled it a hate crime.
More (deliberate?) navel-gazing by the cops. That can’t end well.
And in other news, anti-abortion militancy is apparently on the rise:
I think JJ put it best:
A murderous anti-abortion freak last week, a neo-nazi killer this week — it’s as if every kind of deranged whackjob described in that much-maligned Homeland Security dossier on right-wing extremists are now being trotted out as examples. 52 flavours, try ‘em all.
But no, we’re not allowed to worry about right-wing terrorism.
To the contrary-it is Left WQing Extrenists at their worst. I have never known a single person on the right that would ever harm a single person. I’ve known many lefties who wouldn’t think twice. You are just confusing the left for the right because you don’t know much about the right.

Let’s see: 8 abortion doctors murdered, a bunch of clinics bombed, a long list of anti-gay violence, Jim Adkisson, Chad Castagana, the guy in Pittsburgh who shot a bunch of cops because B. HUSSEIN Osama X was going to personally take away his penis extension…er…gun, etc., etc., etc. versus maybe five left-on-right assaults.
But the evil, Satanic, Mexislamocommiehomofascist water-fluoridating LIEbruls are the real terrorists. RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT. *rolls eyes*
By the way, your Kindergarten spelling teacher called. She’s regretting giving you that social promotion.
