Muslim-Americans call for ‘deterrent legal measures’ over anti-Islam video
weeklystandard.com ^ | Sept. 26, 2012 | Joel Gehrke

Muslim-Americans in Michigan called for “deterrent legal measures” to fight Islamophobia in the wake of videos such as the movie trailer that contributed to protests in the Middle East.

“There is a need for deterrent legal measures against those individuals or groups that want to damage relations between people, spread hate and incite violence,” Osama Siblani, Publisher of The Arab American News said in a statement. “It is a need that Americans should seriously consider.”

Sibliani is one of the organizers of a rally in Dearborn, Mich., that will denounce both the video and the deadly terrorist attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Libya. “While we condemn violence against innocent Americans abroad, we equally condemn the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims,” he said in the statement.

From the event announcement:

The gathering is expected to draw a large crowd of community members and leaders, clergy, and public officials of all persuasions who continue to reject the messages of hate and Islamophobia that have gained momentum, most recently with the production of the provocative and derogatory film “Innocence of Muslims.” The gathering will stress that the rise of Islamophobia is hurting America’s national interests, its image abroad and inciting worldwide violence.

Steaming bovine excrement.

The opposite is true--the rise of Islamophobia can only serve to protect America and to protect it from the intended goal of Islam--submission.

Nuts to that.

We need peaceful protesters carrying crosses to surround this gathering so we can see how tolerant they really are.

Oh for f*** sake! Obama, look what you did!! Dear Muslims, There is no movie. Call your liar in chief and have him explain. Also let me add, there will be no lawsuits nor will America tolerate any US flag to be burned. You have a better chance of seeing your Prophet Mohammad before we let that happen. Thank you.

If there was not something fundamentally regressive and infantile about Muslims, then they wouldn't so easily get their feelings hurt. Furthermore, anyone that can equate ("equally condemn") murder and free speech has a warped value system to begin with.

If this person is representative of Muslims in general, then their ideology is fundamentally incompatible with civilization and modernity.

Time to start mass deportations of these Fifth Columnists.

Detroit/Dearborn is Hamas/Hezbollah/Sharia Central and should be tried as such.

Oh, I forgot. Obama and Holder and Hillary and Panetta are protecting us. We are f*cking doomed if O wins on Nov. 6th.

"hurt the religious feelings of Muslims" Muhammed was a child molesting fraud and Allah is a fake pagan moon god, and there's a lot more where that came from, so go back to whatever third world hellhole you came from if you have a problem with freedom of speech. You muslims want to to go to Paradise, we want to send you. We understand one another perfectly.

Come to my house, Muzzie fanatics, and tell me not to say your false prophet wasn't a devil-worshipping, pedophillic egomaniac who had congress with goats. You will see what will happen then: an application of my 2nd Amendment rights.

This is America. If you don't like it, Muzzie fanatics, LEAVE.
