quisquose Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Where? Thousands? There are two comments beneath the clip, the same footage on Liveleak has legions of thick red neck Americans whooping and hollering and supporting the vile purveyors of racist filth. I have discussed this at length with a number of outraged US citizens. A Google search on "ed royce muslim" for the last month gives over 33,000 hits, none of it complimentary except from the minority of "thick red neck Americans whooping and hollering" as you describe them so well. Your attempt to turn this into some point scoring exercise is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofstrad Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Those poor kids at the event I really feel for them. So did the crowd, they were telling them to go back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm ashamed of Rabbi David's involvement too,He in inciting hatred which is just as bad as Abuhamza etc. As an exercise, remove this group as a target for this thoughtless anger and consider another ethnic, racial or religious as the target group. Or do the same exercise with the hateful mob. Now place it in history: windows smashed, books burned and Jewish homes and businesses burning in 1938. Silence gives consent. And that's on all of us. When the Nazis decreed that Danish Jews had to wear an armband with the Star of David, most Danes, led by their captured King, proudly wore this emblem. Perhaps we in the anti-war, anti-racist resistance should don the star and crescent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Well, this is positively awful. And counterproductive. They only made themselves look like morons. Oh, they are morons! Most Americans do NOT condone this! I do feel however, that there was a bit of manipulation or whatever involved. The children should have been left at home. Don't tell me those people didn't know those crazies were going to be there. They knew. As they knew cameras would be there. And even if the nuts weren't going to be there, why bring young kids to a lecture they have zero interest in? What "crazies"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindrift Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Americans jeering a muslim at prayer; According to TPM’s Ryan J. Reilly, a police officer at the scene said this Muslim man shows up at the White House “every couple days” to pray. That was lucky for anti-Sharia protestors who were there and couldn’t find any Muslims to yell at. He was quickly surrounded by a large group of protestors who shouted an array of insults at him: mocking him for drinking Starbucks coffee, telling him to go back to his country and even throwing tiny crosses at his feet as he prayed. The “Jesus” chant is great. These people seem to think they’re spectators at a sporting event and their deity is losing the match. http://wonkette.com/439731/protestor-throws-crosses-at-muslim-praying-near-white-house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounce Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 How can most Americans condem it if they don't know it's happening. Does anyone know if this was widely reported in the American media or not? It seems when the extremists are non Muslims the coverage is limited. If Sarah Palin gets into power we can probably expect world war three with the offensive wars she plans to launch starting with Iran. Orange county and places like it are still pretty much racist and not just towards Muslims even the blacks still get it in Orange county. The big diverse cities like Newyork and L.A are totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is our responsibility to make people aware that this is happening in 'grown up' countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
