This is part 2 of a 4-part series published by a local (Austin) news outlet. Mostly b.s., typical Austin mentality displayed in this series.

I think very few people in the USA suffer from "Islamophobia" (FEAR of Islam). We aren't SCARED of the bastards, we DISLIKE them for their disgusting actions. I would use the word HATE, but then I would get dumped on by the politically correct types.

However, Jim Harrington, of the Texas Civil Rights Project, said he's seen many Muslims leave the country because of Islamophobia

Bye bye. Wonder if there is any way to speed up this process?

Here we go again...the self absorbed worries of some Muslims and those who pander to them. Maybe they ought to focus of Islamofascism and not 'Islamophobia'.

Khataw and her friends began spreading the word about Islam to clarify misconceptions.

There is only one misconception about islam in the last 50 years:

Islam is a religion of peace.

Until I see as many demonstrations worlwide by muslims condemning murder, mayhem and destruction as bullshit articles like this one, I am totally deaf when it comes to SMs*

*SM© = Sweet Muslims

You mean the misconception that Muslims celebrate when an aid worker is disemboweled, when reporters get their head's chopped off, or when children are sent into pizza parlors to blow up other children, or when you fly planes into buildings.

Go pound sand.

"Austin is not quite as liberal as everybody thinks it is...we have an East/West divide in terms of race right now, in terms of I-35 ...we've had that for years...even if you are more progressive than other parts of Texas, in that sense, it still doesn't mean that everybody in that community is progressive," Harrington said.

Actually, Austin is pretty liberal. One graduate I know said the way to resolve the problem with Islam is, "stop making them angry with us". This is typical of academia. It is not the wearing of the scarf that scares people, it is the insistance on the part of Islam that their customs trump US culture that pisses people off. If people are worried about terrorism they only need to recognize that most terrorism is the product of Islamic mentality. And as for profiling, we should do that too. If we know who may be a threat, they should be subjected to careful review. Its not that hard to understand either.

And what about the anti-Jewish and anti-Christian and anti-infidel sentiments in Islam...can we move to strike language in the Qur'an that seeks not mere discrimination but death and beheading for those groups?

Here is one of those friendly statements in the Hadith that is so popular among non-Islamics:

"The time [of resurrection] will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!".

Yep and Hitler and Goebles decried the rampant Naziphobia of their generation,Stalin the Comradephobia, Pol Pot the Kymerophobia, and Dracula the vampirophobia....

Islamophobia translates into rapeophobia, torturophobia, chidsexslaveophobia,murderophobia,
dhimmiophobia etc etc etc

"I've done quite a bit, and I would like to see and go to other places, and to other churches and synagogues and teach them or just tell them about Islam. This is my mission," Khataw said.

IMO these efforts would be better targeted at mosques. Teach THEM that Islam is the "religion of peace" and all the other problems go away.

She wants to clarify Islam to us unbelievers, yet she isn't willing to wear a veil? How can we believe what she says? Maybe I just don't understand Islam.

There is Islamophobia here in Austin. I don't think there's any doubt about that. It's not that you can point to concrete things like cross burnings in front of the house, but it's sort of indirect words, sort of indirect pressure, unwelcome suspicion, remarks that make people feel very uncomfortable.

So mainly it is an interpretation in someone's mind. Nothing you can point to, but gosh darn, they know people hate them.

All muslims are a potential danger to non-muslims!

"When you clash with the unbelieving infidels in battle, smite their necks until uou overpower them, killing and wounding many of them....Thus you are commanded by Allah to continue carrying out jihad against the unbelieving infidels, until they submit to Islam." (Qur'an 47:4)

Muslims, reading their (un)holy book written by a perverted tramp. all believe the same thing. If they aren't out killing us they're considered by their imams to be bad muslims, and if they're not out killing and maiming they're contributing to those that do.

The saying "A rose by any other name..." doesn't fit islam. "You can't polish a t*rd" does.

Prophet of Doom - Islam’s Terrorist Dogma, In Muhammad’s Own Words


Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted Bible stories.
Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion solely to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money.
He was a terrorist.

And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence at www.prophetofdoom.net.
