Islamophobes Downfall Delights US Muslims
2012-11-09
CAIRO -- American Mohammedans have hailed the downfall of candidates known for their hostile tone against the sizable minority and their religion in Congressional elections this week.

"These encouraging results clearly show that mainstream Americans reject anti-Mohammedan bigotry by candidates for public office and will demonstrate that rejection at the polls," Nihad Awad, National Executive Director of the umbrella Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
(CAIR) said in a statement obtained by OnIslam.net.

Congressional election on Tuesday, November 6, saw the fall of candidates known for their hostile rhetoric against Mohammedans.

In Florida, Republican Representative Allen West lost to his Democrat challenger Patrick Murphy.

West has once described Islam as a "totalitarian theocratic political ideology" that is a "very vile and very vicious enemy".

Another Islamophobic politician, Republican Adam Hasner, was voted down by voters in Florida.

Hasner is known for championing events to taint the image of Mohammedans.

In 2009, he sought to block a day, "Florida Mohammedan Capitol Day", that marks Mohammedan achievements.

Two years earlier, he sponsored the screening of a documentary that scares Americans away from Islam and Mohammedans for state politicians.

The documentary "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against The West", which presents what it describes as radical Islam's campaign against Christians, America and the West, was shown on college campuses across the country.

It features interviews with commentators famed for their notorious anti-Islam views, including Martin Gilbert, Daniel Pipes and Steve Emerson

A third Islamophobic candidate, Terry Kemple, was also defeated in his bid for the Hillsborough County School Board.

Kemple's main issue in the race was seeking to keep Mohammedan speakers out of local schools.

#7   Wait until the left experience a Taliban-like or Iranian theocratic nightmare

Of course the left firmly believes that they will somehow be exempt. That the same Islamists who hoist up homosexuals by their necks in Iran and elsewhere will suddenly develop a love of Homosexuals when it comes to them. That the same Islamists who allow for the beating, torture and rape of women and banning them from driving or being outside without their owner will somehow come to love the so called 'feminist'. That the same Islamists who abhor atheists and treat them even worse than the 'people of the book' (Christians and Jews) will suddenly develop some deep understanding and respect for the godless left.

#3  The left-wing has demonized religious people and evangelicals in the U.S. Wait until the left experience a Taliban-like or Iranian theocratic nightmare. They will love it. No music, no Springsteen, no rap or hip hop, no Hollywood films, no women rights, no art.

#1  This is more of a worrying trend of anti semitism.

In Europe it's illegal to Deny the holocaust or criticise Israel. But in the US you're letting people vote against friends of Israel.

Remember, hitler was elected.
