Hope and Despair: Being Muslim in America After 9/11
nbcnews.com ^ | Sep. 11, 2016 | ALIYAH FRUMIN and AMANDA SAKUMA

Fifteen years after the 9/11 attacks, Islamophobia is on the rise in America.

Anti-Muslim hate crimes are approximately five times more frequent than they were before 2001, according to the FBI.

The past year has been particularly brutal, especially in the aftermath of Islamic State-claimed attacks in Europe and the San Bernardino shootings last December carried out by a Muslim husband and wife.

More reports of mosque vandalism and attacks against those believed to be Muslim surfaced.

Anti-Muslim rhetoric has also been given an enormous boost of pseudo-credibility and prominence by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Right on time over at MSLSD.

Translation:

muslims = Good, honest, misunderstood

Americans = Bad, hateful, islamophobic, blah, blah..

Islam is antithetical to American Exceptionalism.

There shouldn’t be any muslims in America after 9/11 if we were what they ascribe us to be.

It was true then - it’s even truer new...

“Everything I need to know about izlam I learned on 9/11”

Islam has no place in America or the West.

Yes, who could forget all those mass murders against Muslims here. Wait, no, it was the reverse.

If Muslim culture is so damned great, why is the middle east and any other place Muslims are a majority a complete and absolute hell hole for the people who live there?

Even in countries rich in natural resources?

Typical liberal BS. FBI stats show 56% of hate crimes are against Jews and only 16% against muslims.

Some wrote here yesterday something to the effect:

‘Moderate Muslims....the tall grass that Islamic Terrorists hide in’.

Yeah right....the FBI that sees no crime when the New Black Panthers have ball bats and guns at a polling place where they intimidate voters. The FBI that passes on Hillary. The FBI that is a joke

I believe everything they tell me......

As for any mussy who feels uncomfortable....either go to a muslim country or learn to live by our values

There are millions more muzzards in the country that in 2001. So the numbers for people saying “towelhead” have gone up.

I don’t feel any sympathy at all for this crowd. They have done nothing to eliminate the violent jihadis they have spawned. If they were to become non-violent, peaceful, kind, tolerant, respectful, and to respect the rights of non-muzzards, and to obey the laws and customs of this country, I would welcome have no problem with them.

Those who worship the murderous, warmongering, pillaging, slave-capturing, butchering, pedophilic, psychotic rapist Mohammed, have a moral duty to repudiate and condemn him, or go to Hell with him.

Mohammed was Charlie Manson without the humanity, only with more money and less musical talent. Except that Charlie Manson, as far as we know, never raped any children.

And to those who respond by saying "violence has been committed in the name of all religions through the centuries," I ask: "How many people did Jesus kill? How many slaves did Jesus own? How many women did Jesus rape?"

The Five Pillars of Islam:
Murder
Slavery
Rape
Torture
War

Sorry, liberals. There's only 1 interpretation of Islam — Muhammad's

Where is the benefit to America from having Islam present?
