Muslim leaders bemoan "Islamophobia" since 9/11 [Poor Babies!]

CHICAGO (Reuters) - American Muslims still face high levels of hatred and suspicion nearly five years after the September 11 attacks and political leaders and the news media are mostly to blame, Muslim leaders said on Friday.

"During the last five years the Muslim community has been scrutinized by almost all branches of the government and the media to the extent that more than half a million Muslims have been directly touched by this process," said Abdul Malik Mujahid, chairman of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago.

"They continue to face dehumanization and a great trend of Islamophobia," he added, speaking to reporters at the start of the annual meeting of the Islamic Society of North America, the largest yearly gathering of U.S. and Canadian Muslims.

"The trends of Islamophobia unfortunately are worsening," he added, blaming "television driven by media makers" and political leaders for the situation.

The September 11 attacks, planned by the al Qaeda group of Osama bin Laden, were carried out by Islamic men flying hijacked planes into the World Trade center in New York and the Pentagon outside Washington.

Mujahid cited President George W. Bush's recent remark that if terrorism is not beaten in Baghdad then Americans will have to fight it in their own streets as a remark that casts suspicions on Muslims in their own country.

Ingrid Mattson, newly elected president of ISNA and the first woman to head the group, agreed about the continuing level of problems faced by Muslims but said there was also a growing level of education and understanding across "civil society" that finds Muslim leaders sometimes hard pressed to keep up with demands for speeches and other outreach opportunities.

Hollywood and popular culture in general, she added, seem to have done a better job of putting a human face on Muslim adherents than the news media.

It aint the Amish causing the trouble.

[P-40]

political leaders and the news media are mostly to blame

Yup, those 9/11 terrorists sure left everyone with warm, fuzzy feelings.

[PLK]

O.K., I guess we need to repeat it:

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all the terrorists are Muslim.

It's not rocket science and doesn't require complex logic to figure this out, people. There was not one looney terrorist involved in 9-11 who was NOT a freakin' Muslim. Get it through your heads.

[rightazrain]

I did my best to stop your download and it just didn't work!

P.S. Islamophobia means we know you and what your intentions are.

[mkjessup]

I have a simple solution for Muslims who don't like being in America anymore:

GTF outta here.

Problem solved. Say hello to Mekka-lekka-hai, Mekka heidi-ho when you get back home.

[ANGGAPO]

But don't worry, we will kill you in a very friendly fashion.

"Islamophobia"

Bullshiite. Make them Americanphobic. Send the bas**rds back to their sands.

[Peach]

Memo to Muslims and Arabs: If you don't like it here, leave. Otherwise, STFU.

[gaspar]

In the American melting pot Muslims don't melt.

but but but....it's the relgion of peace!!!!

The five pillars of Islam..... murder, bestiality, terrorism, cowardice and abuse of women and children.

Know islam, no peace;
No islam, know peace

Oh no. Your batsh*t crazy fellow Muslims who want to turn Israel into a crater, drive SUVs through our college campii, kill 2900 of our fellow Americans, roll grenades into their superior officers' tents, blow up subways, plan to bring down jetliners, and blow up nightclubs don't POSSIBLY have anything to do with it. Nope.

Suck it up, Mahmet al-Buttercup. You don't like the scrutiny? Turn in the jihadists among you, or get the hell out of the free world and go back to your Sixth World ratholes. CAIR and their ilk have destroyed any sympathy I had for American Muslims after 9/11.

[hermgem]

Are they here legally or do they speak from the perspective of illegals to gain sympathy from liberals in order to stay.

[kittymyrib]

I guess those pictures of the Muslim jihadi holding up Nick Bird's gory severed head didn't have a thing to do with developing our loathing of Muslims. These whiners are extremely fortunate that Christians and Jews don't behave like the Muslim savages do, but as the Hezbo fighters told the CNN reporter, "We are not Christians. We don't turn the other cheek."

[kittymyrib]

Ooops...make that Nick Berg.

[oyez]

There is no other reason that they choose to be here (We all know why) otherwise they would be raising holy hell about how the extremists have subverted their religion.

[Dumpster Baby]

Hmmmm, Google has 20,500 hits on English pages on the phrase "Islamic world domination". Maybe that has something to do with it. By comparison, there are 3 Google hits on "Amish world domination", and they're all linked to wise guys poking fun at the muzzies.

[hardworking]

They continue to face dehumanization

Dehumanization - you mean like covering all women in blankets. Oh, but that isn't dehumanization. That's cultural diversity.

[engrpat]

On the same line does anyone have the link to the story about the Muslim man in Denver sentenced to 28 years for keeping the house keeper as he would any Muslim daughter? Thanks.

[paudio]

Until Muslim leaders (the one that they regard as leaders, not 'laymen') speak up and condemn Islamic terrorism without any "BUT", then I don't see how 'Islamophobia' declines. And it's justified.

[Doogle]

true Muslims have abandoned their faith to sit on the fence
and watch ISLAMICFASCIST take over. The ISLAMICFASCIST kill other innocent Muslims and these whiners bit** and moan about rights...
The time has come for "profiling" to which every westerner faces when traveling through middle eastern countries. Search and question, hold and detain if necessary, and deport and return to face whatever......whine to your mullahs.

Well, as a famous American once observed, "Facts are stubborn things."

Look up "Eskimo world domination"

Man gets 27 years for enslaving housekeeper

[Alouette]

After five years, they have the weaselsprach down pat. What's missing is when Muslim leaders tell their communities, "What have we done to make Americans hate us so much?"

[WOSG]

"Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all the terrorists are Muslim."

PLK, even that's not right.

There are non-Muslim terrorists. eg. the IRA, letwing groups in Europe like Red Army in 1970s, Columbian rebels, the Black Panthers, the KKK.

... but, none of the above had widespread support among religious leaders! Muslim clerics seem to have a problem rejecting Muslim terrorism, and some extremist mullahs and clerics openly call for it as a form of "jihad".

So an amendment:
"Not all Muslims are terrorists, and not all the terrorists are Muslim. But Islam is the only major religion where many of its leaders and devoted followers tolerate - and in some cases advocate - extremist terrorist violence among its adherents. "

[FlingWingFlyer]

With me, it's not really Islamophobia. It's just that I can't picture myself wearing a burqa, leading a camel around and carring a prayer rug and Koran. I'd feel really goofy.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Hollywood and popular culture in general, she added, seem to have done a better job of putting a human face on Muslim adherents than the news media.

Not to worry, Centanni and Wiig have been converted. The media has now paid the ransom dhimmi tax, and are ramming peaceful islam down our throats. They have not seen a backlash yet.

[WOSG]

Look up "Eskimo world domination" ...

I did. So an 'irreverent' website that tracks religions popped up on Google, and scores them! ... lookeee here:

Eskimo religion ...
http://www.godulike.co.uk/faiths.php?chapter=4&subject=score

Islam ...
http://www.godulike.co.uk/faiths.php?chapter=53&subject=intro

Eskimo religion scores higher! "world domination, here we come!"

[Alouette]

Jeez. Eskimos disguised as Amish. Who knew?

[Kozak]

Translation : It's all the JEWS fault.....

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth"

[Fred911]

I really could give a sh1t less what they think.....go home!

[Alouette]

Islamophobia

This afternoon I had to pick up a few items from a supermarket near my workplace, which happens also to be a very large Muslim neighborhood. My husband, a rabbi, looks like the typical stereotypical Jew: beard, black suit, etc.

He parked the car next to a hijab woman who was loading her groceries. She took one look at him and FREAKED OUT, shoved her kids into the car and took off like a rocket.

Right now she must be electrifying her friends and relatives with the story of her narrow escape from a real live JEW in the parking lot of her local [Muslim neighborhood] supermarket.

[Free ThinkerNY]

Keep an eye on the enemy within. Hitler is alive and well and living in the Muslim Nation.

[Ben Chad]

Perhaps Gov Rick Perry, TX, in attending the dedication ceremony of a new mosque in Plano last week, was trying to persuade people that islam is a ROP. Nobody's buying it.

[rocksblues]

To all Muslim Imans in America. Stop preaching that anybody that doesn't practice your religion is an infidel, then you can complain about being misunderstood!

[bert]

My advice to Abdul Malik Mujahid is to go to youe mosque and kick your immam in the ass and tell him to figjt for America insted of appeasing the Shia

[WildBill2275]

Muslims have only three basic problems to correct.
1. Osama binLaden (I’m thinking 9mm)
2. Muhammed (Allah sting him with the whips of a thousand scorpions)
3. Muhammed’s writings.

[gakrak]

Hmmmmm, I want them to leave even if they like it here. Amen,

[nancyvideo]

Reuters is blatant in their anti-Americanism. Hopefully, articles like this and their doctored photos will allow most Americans to see Reuters as the terrorist enabler it is.

PS. I'm crying

[justiceseeker93]

If only the Muslim terrorists had as much fear of Jews as that woman did...

[jusduat]

I hate the phobia attached to Islam. I don't fear it, I detest it. Same with homophobia. Both practice unnatural unhealthy, ungodly customs. At least the homos don't want to kill you outright.

[omega4179]

"What have we done to make Americans hate us so much?"

how about ruining the 21st century for about 60 countries?

[MNJohnnie]

Perhaps instead of bemoaning the splint in their foes eyes, perhaps they should address the forest in their own co Religionists eyes.

But that right, that might get them killed. So much safer to shoot at the victims then then the murderous thugs causing the problem.

"Muslim leaders bemoan "Islamophobia" since 9/11"

[DungeonMaster]

Those damn Muslims know every trick in the manipulation book. They know how to set up all the photo ops, they know how to complain to the "world community" about profiling, and now they are using the homo's trick of applying a phobia to their cause. F them!!!
