More U.S. Muslims feel targeted by government
(AP) WASHINGTON — More than half of Muslim Americans in a new poll say government anti-terrorism policies single them out for increased surveillance and monitoring, and many report increased cases of name-calling, threats and harassment by airport security, law enforcement officers and others.
Still, most Muslim Americans say they are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. and rate their communities highly as places to live.
The survey by the Pew Research Center, one of the most exhaustive ever of the country’s Muslims, finds no signs of rising alienation or anger among Muslim-Americans despite recent U.S. government concerns about homegrown Islamic terrorism and controversy over the building of mosques.
Pew poll: Muslim Americans: No Signs of Growing Alienation, Support for Extremism
“This confirms what we’ve said all along: American Muslims are well integrated and happy, but with a kind of lingering sense of being besieged by growing anti-Muslim sentiment in our society,” said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington, D.C.-based Muslim civil rights group.

More U.S. Muslims feel targeted by gov’t
I am one of those people that has a lot to say about Islam and Muslims, I detest them, their so-called *religion* and everything about their 7th century ideology, and I make NO apologies for saying so.
Ibrahim Hooper is a very poorly informed leader, Muslims are NOT well integrated into American culture, and if there is a God in heaven, they never will be. There may be a growing anti-Muslim sentiment in our society, I hope so. It’s about time Americans woke up and realized this fact; Muslims are NOT our friends, Muslims are NOT our allies and Muslims have no desire to peaceably coexist with Christian or Jewish Americans.
“People contact us every day about concerns they’ve had, particularly with law enforcement authorities in this post-9/11 era,” he said.
After a particular group of people (Islamic terrorists) attack America and kill 2,996 people, on American soil, after that same group of people (Islamic terrorists) attack Christians and Jews the world over, and kill untold thousands of people, is it any wonder that Muslims are looked at suspiciously?
In all, 52 percent of Muslim Americans surveyed said their group is singled out by government for terrorist surveillance. Almost as many — 43 percent — reported they had personally experienced harassment in the past year, according to the poll released Tuesday.
That 43 percent share of people reporting harassment is up from 40 percent in 2007, the first time Pew polled Muslim Americans.
Out of curiosity, when was the last time ANY of you heard a story about a Muslim taking a stand AGAINST Islamic terrorists and made bold statements supporting America? Words are cheap, but some open demonstration of Americanism, and love of country, ours, would likely go a long ways towards changing a few minds.
I don’t care what the Muslims do in Muslim nations, but if they come to America then they need to become Americans and embrace American culture, as should ALL immigrants. Nothing makes me more nervous than to walk in somewhere and see burkas, full covering, being worn.
And the Muslims seek to force Sharia law on America?
Detroit — Opposition is mounting among Muslims against pending legislation that would ban Michigan courts from considering “foreign laws” — including Sharia, or Islamic law.
Muslim and community leaders gathered Tuesday in Midtown to denounce legislation from state Rep. Dave Agema, R-Grandville, as divisive, unnecessary and mean-spirited.
“This plan goes against our country’s core values of accepting people from all races and walks of life,” said state Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who is Muslim. “We simply cannot move forward with this plan.
“It’s racism at its core.” SOURCE
Accepting people from all races and walks of life is one of our founding principles, but in that acceptance we accept YOUR right to worship as you see fit.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
I, for one, can’t accept the demands that Muslims are making regarding their desire that Sharia law be applied here in the USA.
Is that racist? I don’t think so, and here’s why; go to an Islamic nation and get yourself arrested, demand that they accept American law and try you under American law, go ahead, try it and see what happens.
If Muslim *race baiters* like this Rep. Rashida Tlaib want to live their lives under Sharia law, well, OK, fine by me, go to a nation that subscribes to and enforces Sharia law, let us know how that works out for you.
Does that view make ME a racist? I don’t give a damn if it does because it’s only making me a racist in the eyes of some radical Muslim or a tree hugging, bleeding heart liberal that doesn’t have the GUTS to stand up for America and OUR way of life!
There is nothing short of TOTAL SUBMISSION that will make Islam happy, and even that isn’t enough, look at all of the attacks that Muslims make on their fellow Muslims.
Islam is going to hate us no matter what we do; WHY then do WE need to submit to THEIR wishes when those wishes and desires only take America further into the abyss of Third World status?
I hope ALL the Sand Niggers die today…how about that for following Walking Turd Obama’s desire that we improve our Muslim relationship.
Lee, you gotta stop holding back… It’s bad for your health…
It time to start arranging transportion for all muslims in this country to the sandbox of their choice. In the longrun there can be no peaceful coexistance. Islam and those that practice it are enemies of this Republic. Would be nice if our government would recognize that little fact.
Yeah, but you know that the Muslim in Chief isn’t going to allow that, “We are NOT at war with Islam”…
Yeah, actually, we are…
If they don’t like it here they can always move to one of the 57 Hellholes they’ve created on this world.
We reject their 7th Century, backward ideology. They can keep it, far from our shores.
Yeah. Right.
Try pulling that shit, in reverse, in ANY Muslim country.
Hey, where’d my head go?

I agree with BZ, just think about asking for 1 acre of land to build a Baptist Chruch somewhere in the land of magic carpets and see if you keep your hear for more than 3 minutes.
However I will maintain my since of friendship. Anyone up for some BBQ Pork Loin, come one come all.
Between the Muslims wanting their own set of laws and the Reconquista wanting to convert the Southwest to a Mexican state(s). It doesn’t bode well for the future.
“This plan goes against our country’s core values of accepting people from all races and walks of life,” said state Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who is Muslim. “We simply cannot move forward with this plan.
What countries core values is this fool talking about? Our core values is to accept people but those people must assimilate into our nation and values, not expect us to conform to the laws and customs of their native country. The fact that Tlaib is against this law only confirms that she’s wanting to integrate Sharia law into the US. I wonder how long she thinks she’ll be in a position of authority over men under Sharia law?
In Moslem nations, the infidels are an unarmed minority, are killed on a regular basis and their holy places are desicrated as a matter of course (Google/Bing Church of the Holy Seplucar and Jacob’s Tomb to check out out Moslem vandalism). American Moslems are projecting the behavior of their co-religionists upon U.S. citizens.
If the Moslems start such activities here, the infidel response will be vastly different. We are armed and our tolerance is not unlimited. I will not submit.
Submit HELL… I’m all for dropping every one of the sons a bitches RIGHT NOW…
The best defense is a good offense and our local militia, uh, group of Texas Patriots has a bunch of XD-45′s and a few *other things* that need a workout…
My beloved M1911A1 is locked away, but the H&K Compact .45 USP is well exercised and ready to go.
The RIGHT seems to be getting hit from all sides… Ragheads, Faggots, Illegals, Environutjobs, Welfare slugs, Etc… As bad as it seems, why is it even a fight? I mean all the MSM is showing how evil us Righty’s are yet WE OWN the house after 4 years of Democrat incompetence. With all the groups aligned with the Democrats you’d think they would control everything from top to bottom?….
The reason is there’s a great awakening occurring. Its happening because of folks like Fred and the readers here and elsewhere. Its happening because WE the PEOPLE are getting the word out, we are not scared and we are NOT backing down. It’s not in our nature to run from a fight especially when logic and facts are on our side.
We surround them and the only way the right loses power is when the RIGHT acts left. We surround them when we stand together, we surround them when we put aside our petty differences about one issue or another and stand strong for what makes us the party of Reagan. We will stop this dumbassery if we have a strong candidate in 2012. If we don’t then bloodshed may be the only way we save our nation.
On top of Robert’s comment above:
And to all the Drive-By Leftists, Socialists and Religious Leftists:
What are you worried about?
- You OWN the White House!
- You OWN the Senate!
- You OWN education!
- You OWN the DEM/MSM!
- You OWN all the universities!
- You OWN the United Nations!
- You OWN all the DC Watering Holes!
So what’s to bitch about, you whiners? You own most EVERYTHING but you WON’T own your president?
The Big Bad TEA Party points out the obvious, pulls back the curtain so that you can see Obaka and Ms Socialism naked?
Ooooo, BAD TEA Party! TEA Party BAD! Yeah. Name the LEADER of the TEA Party? That’s right: many of the plain, harried and over-taxed and over-regulated CITIZENS of the United States! How DARE they DISAGREE with those who are clearly SMARTER than they are?
And Leftists, under Sharia Law: you’d be the FIRST to have your LGBT and secular advocates beheaded. That would just be the initial loving START.

The Islamic in America are Domestic Enemy to the USA. They have the very same intentions of destroying our culture, as they have been in hosting countries in Europe, by creating their own communities, isolated from the culture of the country they have entered, and instituting Sharia Law.
The following link addresses this pertaining to the community they plan to build in Dallas, Texas:

The following is an email I received addressing further proof in Dearborn, MI of what is really happening and being ignored by the Communist MSM:
I work in Dearborn so I know just how true it is that they have taken over here!…
20 years from now, I will be in Heaven -bye !!
This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim.
Make sure you read the paragraph (in red) towards the end.
Joys of Muslim Women
By Nonie Darwish
In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.
The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.
Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.
Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives ‘at will’ and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.
The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.
In the West World ( America and Britain ) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities and British Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.
By passing this on, enlightened American and British women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.
Ripping the West in Two.
Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.
She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.
Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza .
When he died, he was considered a “shahid,” a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.
But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing.. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.
In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.
For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.
Peace and prosperity for one’s children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.
While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.
While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.
It’s hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.
While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.
(In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. and Britain To elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so… You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA .. Dearborn Mich. Is one… And there are others….) (Britain has several cities now totally controlled by Muslims)
I think everyone in the U.S. and Great Britain Should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful.. Some may be but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam.. The peaceful support the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion. While America and Britain are getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America .. (and Britain) ..
This is your chance to make a difference…! Pass it on to your email list or at least those you think will listen..
Ibrahim Hooper, like CAIR as whole, is a lying sack of shit. I don’t believe a word he says.
I call BS on that. I sure that there is zero confirmation of airport security, in particular, doing any such thing.
And one more thing….I’m sick to death of Moslems playing the victim card.
Hi all,
I have a question. Does anyone know who Aga Khan is and what he does and who follows him?
I’m not sure if this a serious question or a rhetorical *fishing expedition*…
I know who Aga Khan, but if you don’t, Google is your best friend… And at last check, Aga Khan wasn’t a part of this post, just sayin’…
