Ohio Muslims, Arabs growing anxious in post - 9/11 U.S.
The Athens News ^ | 9/2/2004 | John Lasker

Posted on 09/03/2004 5:56:13 PM PDT by 4.1O dana super trac pak

Ziad Akir, who heads the Athens Islamic Center at 13 Stewart St., doesn't have "solid evidence" the center is being watched. But no one at the center knows who owns the black SUV that frequently has been seen parked in their lot.

"(One member) claims that there is strange equipment on the car with flashing indicators. I don't know for sure, but it may be a possibility," said Akir speculating on whether someone may be spying on the center.

Some may scoff at Akir's claim as a bout of paranoia during trying times for Arab Americans and those whose faith is Islam. Think again, advises another prominent Ohio Muslim, who contends he has heard of similiar complaints from nearly every mosque in the state.

"We hear of mosques being spied on, being watched, quite frequently," said Jad Humeidan, director of CAIR Ohio. CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is considered one of Muslim America's most influential non-profits.

He said that the identity of whoever is conducting the surveillance remains a mystery. And if the mystery is nothing more than a perceived -- as opposed to real -- threat, it appears justified for Arab Americans during the post-9/11 era of fear.

They should be worried if they see a black helicopter.

I think the real terror will be when they see The Holy One coming down from the clouds.

And I am NOT talking about Mohammad!

Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way to some Arab hellhole....please do leave. We don't like child murderers in America. Take your death cult and leave.

All non-citizen muslims should be kicked out of this country immediately...Those that are citizens must be watched carefully...civil rights aren't much use if America is attacked with WMD's.

I hope and pray the U.S. government has finally been awakened by Beslan and is intensely scrutinizing each and every one of these potential killers, mass murderers, subversives and lunatics.

Further, I hope we stop allowing them in here, and begin interning them in camps like the Japanese in WW2, or deport them back to the lands which spawned them.

I DO hate their 'religion'. It wants me dead.
So I do hate those who call themselves Muslims.
They earned my hate. They are earning it more every day.
What do they expect?

Hell Yeah

R LEE is the Man.

I haven't missed a one of his mail call shows, and he is one of my Favorite actors.

Of course being a hard charging devil dog has nothing to do with that :)

Why do they care if they are being spied on? If they aren't doing anything wrong, then they have nothing to worry about. Plus, what do they expect, criminy. If Christian Fundamentalist attacked them on their own soil, they would probably do more than spy on the churches.

I'm convinced that half the world population is either just plain stupid or smoking dope.

I think I'll go see if I can find a Mosque. Go park my car in the parking lot and just stare at people that come in. Do that 2 or 3 times a week.

Heh, I wish I had my 1977 Mercury Cougar operational. It is dark metallic green, very plain looking with the small FoMoCo (Ford Motor Company) hubcaps like the Feds use on their cars. With my CB or amateur radio antenna (VHF), I have gotten looks like I'm a narc or undercover cop. Sometimes I carry my handheld scanner and amateur radio with me. I have a blue jacket that looks like the BATF or FBI wears. I remember in the mall, I had my jacket and shades on with my 2 meter walkie-talkie on my belt and one Moslem lady sort of gave me the "evil eye" and kept staring at me. I kind of had a tiny smile. Sometimes I have had college and high school girls hit on me and ask "are you a Fed?" Being the nerdy type in school and now being 38, I find the latter quite flattering. B-)

lol that's priceless

I can imagine what their thoughts would be if you sat outside their mosque during their worship hours. Shades, jacket, hand held up to your ear. They would have apoplexy :)

"That's really not the issue. The issue is, WTF are we allowing these people into our country in the first place?"

To mow our grass and pick crops. Oh, wait, that's the Mexicans. I guess I can't answer your question. Never mind.
