US Muslims Find Defending Themselves Exhausting

DEARBORN, Mich. – Finishing law school is a challenge for Dewnya Bakri-Bazzi, but being an American and a Muslim can be downright exhausting.

As she crammed before class this week, Bakri-Bazzi caught up on testimony from a congressional hearing on the radicalization of U.S. Muslims. She contends Rep. Peter King, the New York Republican who called it, is ignoring the positive steps Muslims have taken in fighting terrorism since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Bakri-Bazzi, president of the Muslim Legal Society at Thomas M. Cooley Law School's Detroit area campus, says she fears Thursday's hearing will only spark backlash against innocent members of her community just going about their lives.

"When people look at me walking down the street, they'll feel like I'm an al-Qaida radicalist," said Bakri-Bazzi, who lives in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, home to one of the nation's largest populations of Arabs and Muslims.

The article itself is unremarkable - the same, old sob story about how tough it is to be a Muslim in the US. What is remarkable are the comments. I read through several pages of them (some are repeats), and they are amazing. People are fed up with the ROP.

If she thinks being a muzzie in the U.S. is tough, she should try being an American in the U.S. Now that’s tough!

What a crock of shiite. The Arab-Muslim population of Dearborn is around 40% - 50%. The sight of someone like her walking down the street wouldn't even raise a single eyebrow in that place.

Good. Maybe they’ll be too exhausted to blow up another airplane. We can only hope and PRAY.

A Muslim girl is going to law school?

Is she aware that she couldn’t do that in much of the Muslim/Arab world?

For all of its alleged faults and shortcomings, isn’t America better than majority Muslim countries? Isn’t she herself better off here, even with the constant pressures allegedly felt in the American/Muslim community?????

exhasting. yeah, that’s tough. You know what probably was more exhausting? Struggling to breathe as smoke from burning airplane fuel was choking you as you looked for an exit at WTC. And then you realized that the only way out was through a FU%^ING WINDOW! FU#* YOU EXHAUSTED MUSLIM BITCHES.

“”No community is working more diligently than the Muslim community,” said Sally Howell, an associate professor at University of Michigan-Dearborn and author of several books and essays on Arabs and Muslims in Detroit. “Really, there is nobody in our society that is more concerned about this than the Muslim community. There have been instances of this coming from their community and they don’t want it to happen.””

I must have missed that news bulletin - I was watching the news.
