Ohio Muslims, Arabs growing anxious in post - 9/11 U.S.
The Athens News ^ | 9/2/2004 | John Lasker

Ziad Akir, who heads the Athens Islamic Center at 13 Stewart St., doesn't have "solid evidence" the center is being watched. But no one at the center knows who owns the black SUV that frequently has been seen parked in their lot.

"(One member) claims that there is strange equipment on the car with flashing indicators. I don't know for sure, but it may be a possibility," said Akir speculating on whether someone may be spying on the center.

Some may scoff at Akir's claim as a bout of paranoia during trying times for Arab Americans and those whose faith is Islam. Think again, advises another prominent Ohio Muslim, who contends he has heard of similiar complaints from nearly every mosque in the state.

"We hear of mosques being spied on, being watched, quite frequently," said Jad Humeidan, director of CAIR Ohio. CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is considered one of Muslim America's most influential non-profits.

He said that the identity of whoever is conducting the surveillance remains a mystery. And if the mystery is nothing more than a perceived -- as opposed to real -- threat, it appears justified for Arab Americans during the post-9/11 era of fear.

Being watched puts a little restraint on the celebratory dancing in the streets after beheadings, kidnappings and suicide bombings?

Questioning funding for terrorists inhibits religious duty?

Accessory to murder is a heavy charge.

Muslims have had their way with the world long enough. Payback time is coming.

Get used to it raghead.

Any muslim who does not wish death to all infidels, if any actually exist, can thank his barbarian brothers & sisters for the increased and ever continuing surveillance.

I was a little disturbed to find out there are 150,000+ arab muslims in Ohio.

Seems to have happened overnight.

We should treat Mohamemdanism like we treated Nazism post Pearl Harbor.



I believe that we are but one "Beslan" incident from taking that kind of action against Islam. Americans won't take much more. And that goes for our "tolerance" of pro terror protestors that support the antiamerican party.

The russians may beat us to the 'mecca' punch however. I say go for it big bear.

My viewpoint? You don't know my viewpoint. I'm responding to your sending all muslims in the US to "extermination" camps. That's a ridiculous statement.

This map is two years old. I am trying to get an updated one, since more Mosque's have popped up across the United States since.

If I were there, it would be me.
But I'll watch where I am. We all should. Watch- and let them know you're watching.
Nervous, anxious Muslims? Fear? Afraid that the 'infidels' around you know you now?
Good. Very good.

Thinking about the day's events....can I be forgiven for feeling hatred towards beings so unhuman? Should I adopt an attitude of "It's just taking out the trash." to alleviate the guilt of hatred when I want the removal from humanity of such evil as I have witnessed in Beslan?

I hope muslims are scared shitless.
I pray their fears are justified by impending actions against their "weapons cache storage facilities" aka as mosques.

I hope that we visit the WACO experience on their "compounds" a hundredfold...

Islam is murder.
Time for the murderors and those that support them to pay the piper.
