A national Muslim advocacy organization yesterday blamed a "negative and politically charged" environment on the Internet and talk radio for the 30 percent jump in anti-Muslim incidents reported to the group last year.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations received 1,972 complaints of harassment, violence and discriminatory treatment in 2005, up from 1,522 in 2004, according to an annual report released yesterday.

I think one incident that is likely to happen is that fat spokesman Ibraham will be harpooned by mistake by an eskimo.

There has also been a surge in anti Papal, anti Christian, anti Jewish...........

[Joe Boucher]

Good,

Now hopefully an upswing of attacks on Wash. Post writers and editors will ensue.

Surge in Anti-Muslim Incidents Reported

Well it's about time!

I wonder if this report includes the dirty looks I gave the two women wearing habibjs (sp?) at the mall yesterday.

Then there were the 2 fat black women wearing long flowery dresses who were talking in some foreign language (way too loud) that sounded like ducks quacking. I gave them the skunk eye but stopped short of telling them to shut up and catch a boat home like I would have preferred.

These people are WAY to sensitive and touchy.

If they can't fit it, they need to go back to whatever hellhole they came from.

Talk radio? Who else hears this all the time? That talk radio is to blame for inflaming these actions? Me thinks the libs are going to try to take it down...intelligent people know that the islamic murdres that have taken place in the past few days might have something to do with our attitude towards them...not to mention their threats against the holy father.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

If some Muslime tries to take out the Pope or if another attack happens on US soil, expect that number to jump to 200%.

Don't get angry with my response, please, but do understand. I constantly see comments like this one above..."If one more thing happens...etc., etc., ad nauseum...." and nothing substantial is really ever done. Muslims still live here. They're still allowed to make rash comments, etc., ad nauseum. When is it going to stop? Really stop?

"That talk radio is to blame for inflaming these actions? Me thinks the libs are going to try to take it down..."

Of course they are. They have been working on it for a long time. Then they thought Err-America would be the answer, (pun recognized). Err-America is now DOA. So, the libs are left with their only tool that works consistently. Legislate and regulate anything they don't like.

They consider anything other than conversion to be an 'anti-Muslim incident'

Council on American-Islamic Relations received 1,972 complaints of harassment, violence and discriminatory treatment

897 dirty looks, 544 blog posts, 320 muttered insults and flipping the bird, 150 insolent infidels who refused to step off the sidewalk to make way for the prophet's faithful, 60 inconveniences at the airport, and 1 employer who refused to grant a request to take off the entire month of Ramadan, with pay.

I wonder if it includes the 2 followers of the pedophile who were the first to get eliminated from The Amazing Race.

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations... is a fraud!

[Ditter]

The murders AND their unwillingness to become Americans. I have no problem with people who come here to join us but those who come and expect us to changed to their ways are not welcome.

Surge in Anti-Muslim Incidents Reported

The world is drowning in horrific, violent and deadly Anti-Jewish, Anti-Christian, Anti-Hindu and Anti-everyone-else incidents by Muslims. And this is the headline? It's like a headline during Noah's flood saying "Dry Spell Continues on Mt. Ararat" on an article failing to even mention the flood!

[bdfromlv]

there is no such thing as a radical muslim. you either accept that the koran and the teachings of Mo are the word of g=d and follow the example of the perfect man (slavery, lieing to non muslims, child marriage, violence, etc) or you are a heretic and are not really a muslim. you are just pretending to be one so you are not killed by your neighbors as an apostate and heretic.

[RedStateRocker]

True

It NEVER ceases to amaze me the number of people in our society who act like they know ANYTHING about "terrorism" who have read neither Mao or Che. It would be like professing to know about Christianity without having actually read the Bible.

[vrwcagent0498]

Get your house in order, Muslims. Blame the radicals in your religion, not us, for your problems.

[vrwcagent0498]

I love that!

Where do I get one? Pretty please?

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah, my "give-a-damn" is busted, too!
