I was listening to the radio this morning and heard a news story about Egyptian Muslims who upon hearing that a local Muslim girl had been caught with a Christian boy decided she should be put to death. When her father refused, they killed him and then went and burned down the local Catholic church. This of course led to more bloodshed and has both sides calling for revenge.
My first thought upon hearing this was, “What a bunch of fucking animals.”
This sentiment was not only aimed at Muslims but at the Middle East in general. I’m not usually one to damn the many for the actions of the few and I fully realize that to do so is wrong, but that was honestly the first thing that came to mind.
I guess I’ve succumbed to Muslim violence overload that media is bombarding me with. It’s all too much. All the tails of inhuman violence taking place in the Middle East, and parts of Africa and Asia dominated mainly by Islam has broken me down.
With this in mind I went to work and came across a news story about an 11-year-old girl who was gang raped by upwards of 15 men and boys in a small town outside of Houston Texas . It seems that many of the people in the town are blaming the girl for being a harlot. Ughh, again my reaction was, “What a bunch of freaking animals.”
This time the sentiment was not only aimed at the people who were involved but at small town Texas inhabitants in general. Again, I know it’s wrong but Sweet Freaking Beejeezuz people, what the fuck is wrong with you?
It’s not Muslims or small town hicks, it’s everyone, they’re all animals. At least 50 percent of the people in the world are animals. You have to assume that everyone you meet is an animal until they prove otherwise.
BEWARE!!

Fear and Mosques at Ground Zero
Everybody is up in arms about the plans for building an Islamic mosque/Muslim Activity Center at New York’s Ground Zero.
In a way I can understand the opposition; I mean the evil bastards who flew planes into the World Trade Center towers believed they were honoring the precepts of Islam.
Islam + Mosque at the Site Where Radical Muslims Slaughtered Thousands of Americans = Anger.
I would think Anger is a pretty normal reaction in situations like this. For example, I don’t imagine that Muslims and Jews were too happy when Christian crusaders sacked Jerusalem and started building churches everywhere.
On the other hand, what could be more in the spirit of American acceptance and tolerance than a mosque at Ground Zero? Wouldn’t it show that we’re open minded and don’t damn the majority for the actions of a few? That we, as Americans, truly accept our tolerant Muslim brothers and sisters?
But, we don’t. Click the link above and you’ll see that 62 percent of New Yorkers oppose the mosque plans. The public won’t say it, but many Americans fear and mistrust Muslims they don’t personally know. Again, while I don’t condone these thoughts, I understand where they come from.
At the moment, Islam is not coming off as a bright shining bastion of all that is “good” in the world. I’d argue that few religions do, but Islam is doing a particularly horrible job of it right now, a bit like Catholicism during the age of the Inquisition.
Sure the deck is stacked against it, and much of the deck has been stacked by us (unending wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, dependence on oil, refusal to believe that Israel can do anything wrong). But even if Americans ignore everything that is happening in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, we can’t ignore the Muslim father in Arizona who ran over his daughter because she was too westernized, that many mosques in the United States are still intolerant of women or that MF’er who killed US soldiers in FT. Hood. Why? Because it’s happening right here on American soil, right here in front of our big-fat American faces.
I’m well aware that violence and intolerance run rampant throughout all religions but we seldom get it here on camera and on home soil. All this plus knowing that Muslims committed the worst attack on American soil ever is just too much for some folks.
Now a group of Muslims want to build a mosque/activity center on Ground Zero….of course people are going to be pissed off. They don’t like or trust Muslims for all of the above reasons.
But is building a mosque on sacred ground a good idea? Yes, it would symbolize all that is good and right about America.
Should the mosque be built? No, of course not. Many people will view it as another Islamic kick in the American crotch. It’s poking at a hornets’ nest. It’s bad PR, really bad PR and it’s going to cause some Americans to dislike Muslims even more.
Whomever is heading these plans is doing a real disservice to kind and decent Muslims in America.
