Muslim Americans rally to support NYPD's surveillance
NYPost ^ | March 5, 2012 | JESSICA SIMEONE

A group of Muslim Americans gathered outside NYPD headquarters this morning to support the Police Department's surveillance of Muslims.

Led by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, the ralliers spoke out in favor of the NYPD’s counterterrorism efforts.

...Jasser said the statistics speak for themselves.

“If you look at arrests for terrorism, of the last 200 arrests, 80 percent have been from Muslims,” Jasser said. “So, it’s rather denial not to recognize that we have a responsibility to root out the radicalization.”

After 1,400 years of moslem lies/murder, a bunch start telling the truth? I don’t trust this.

Probably some “reverse psychology” stunt to promote the Ground Zero victory mosque as “benign.”

Buzz me when they start eating bacon, and stop chopping their daughters’ heads off.

A genuine (pleasant) surprise.

Remember taqiyya. Just sayin'.

Who knows? He didn't take a picture of a crucifix suspended in a jar of urine and put it on public display.

Oh, wait. That little stunt involved a non-beheading religion.

Good to hear that there are reasonable,logical Muslims in this world...and in this country.As a white guy of Irish Catholic blood I understand that there are some in this country,and even more in Britain and Ireland,who are like me but are potentially dangerous and should be watched closely.There are some Muslims here,and elsewhere that require similar treatment.

This group may be sincere, but they should renounce Islam. They are not following the religion as written in the Koran and Hadiths. -Tom

Color me suspicous.

Tint me unconvinced.

Dye me cautious.

I think it's silly to believe that *all* Muslims are dangerous or have sympathy for those who are.Not *all* Irish are drunks,not *all* Italians are in the Mafia and not *all* Muslims are terrorists.

Buzz me when they start eating bacon, and stop chopping their daughters’ heads off.

The refusal to eat bacon doesn't make one a terrorist.And not all Muslims behead their daughters,In fact I doubt that even a majority do so.

Zuhdi Jasser was a colonel in the U.S. Army, I believe. He is often on Dennis Prager’s show and from what I’ve heard, he sounds like a good man.

Oddly enough, Jews don't eat pork (ie bacon as it were) either. Apparently not eating pork makes one (or one's religion) evil? There's also those who follow ancient forms of christianity & judaism to include vegetarianism, which would mean no "bacon" also.
I see the "bacon" thing thrown around on FR quite a bit, and I'm not quite sure if it's an ignorant generalization or purposeful, but it irks me every time I see it.

What’s your point? Moslems react to bacon the way vampires react to holy water. I think it’s a useful tool that humans should use when fighting against moslems.
