“tracing the plate has been unsuccessful.”

This seems unlikely if the transcription was correct.

If these middle eastern bastards ever hurt our children this country should expel them all before the week is over.

"Rev. Schaab said he does not know what would lead parishioners to describe the men as Middle Eastern as he was not present at the Mass and said he does not think anyone could definitively report their nationality."

“Pastor: St. Pius incident a simple misunderstanding”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “An incident at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Rock Island that prompted a warning letter and a brief investigation by police was nothing more than a misunderstanding, the parish pastor said.

Several unknown men who were seen last weekend inside and outside the church actually were a resident who is new to the area and some of his friends, said the Rev. Michael Schaab.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “After learning of newspaper reports regarding the incident, the new resident -– who is Catholic and a native of India –- visited Rev. Schaab Saturday morning to explain the situation.

The man, his wife and their 3-year-old child recently moved to the Quad-Cities after he took a job here, Rev. Schaab said. Because the man’s father recently had died, he had friends visiting him who wished to attend church with him, the pastor added.

“The family has been coming to Mass but hadn’t registered at our parish yet. That’s why we didn’t know them,” Rev. Schaab said. “It was simply a misunderstanding.”

Rev. Schaab said he did not ask the man whether he or any of his friends took photographs before, during or after Mass.”

This follows a familiar pattern - Middle Eastern men behave in ways which - although harmless in and of themselves - are bound to arouse suspicions. This will enable them to come back later on with threats of lawsuits, demands for reparations, and publicity designed to discourage people from reporting suspicious behavior.

So the "new parisioner" can just drive up in his green Ford and have his number plate registered with the church for a "guest" parking slot.
