| Dhimmi Deval Patrick vows support for Muslims | ||||
| 2010-05-24 | ||||
| In his largest meeting with Boston-area Muslims, Gov. Deval Patrick agreed yesterday to take aim at ensuring their rights and addressing racial profiling. The session came little more than a week after two Bay State Muslims were arrested in a raid following an attempted car bombing in Times Square in New York. More than 1,100 Muslims attended the forum at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center and Mosque in Roxbury, where Patrick was given one minute to answer "yes" or "no" to seven questions, including whether he would: Have law enforcement agency heads and others meet with Muslims to discuss the need for cultural awareness training.
Beginning his comments in Arabic by saying, "Hello, how are you. I speak Arabic a little," the governor said the forum was not his first exposure to Islam, noting that he'd lived in Sudan and Nigeria. "Yours is a peaceful faith, and I know that. I know you are worried that others know that," he said. The head of one Muslim group said he was interviewed three times in recent years by FBI agents "fishing for something." A mother told of walking with her baby in the months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and feeling terrified when a cab driver pulled up to them and said, "We should kill you all." "We are here for power and for recognition," said Bilal Kaleem, president of the Muslim American Society of Boston. "We're against extremism and terror."

| #6 "We're against extremism and terror." but notice that no people or groups are identified as extremists or terrorists that's because many people in the Islamic Society of Boston (maybe most) don't think Hamas is extreme, don't think Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and maybe even admire the Taliban and Al Q too. |

| #5 "We are here for power and for recognition," said Bilal Kaleem, president of the Muslim American Society of Boston. "We're against extremism and terror." First part is truthful, second is taqqiya. I am going to be generous and assume Deval's highly paid crack (smoking) staff neglected to do due diligence before exposing their boss to a meeting with the bastard son of the organization that spawned most of the islamic terrorism around the world. To Deval Patrick's staff: Muslim American Society. The first one is free. I expect to get paid the next time I do your job. http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/44.pdf |

| #4 The good thing about Deval is that when he panders, which is often, that he usually totally forgets about it by the time he gets in the Caddy. All he cares is that he gets the photo op in. He probably cost himself more votes because of this then he picked up. And he's gonna need every one he can get. |

| #2 This is a broken record started by the Feds always on the heals of a terrorism event by Muslim. Never heard such obsequiousness after any mafia raids. |
