| U.S. Denounces 'Rise' in anti-Muslim Sentiment | |
| 2013-05-21 | |
Releasing a wide-ranging annual report on religious freedom, Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... also voiced alarm at what he called rising anti-Jewish sentiment, and filled a position of special envoy to combat anti-Semitism. The State Department report, which covered 2012, said that "Anti-Mohammedan rhetoric and actions were clearly on the rise -- particularly in Europe and Asia." "Government restrictions, which often coincided with societal animosity, resulted in anti-Mohammedan actions that affected everyday life for numerous believers," it said. In Myanmar, officials allegedly fanned deadly anti-Mohammedan violence in Rakhine state while in China, authorities showed less tolerance toward the mostly Mohammedan Uighur community and Tibetans, the report said. It said that Mohammedans also faced new restrictions in 2012 in countries ranging from Belgium, which banned face-covering religious attire in classrooms, to India where schools in Mangalore restricted headscarves. The report also voiced alarm at soaring violence against Islamic minorities including Shiites and Ahmadis in Pakistain as well as discrimination against non-Sunni Mohammedans in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and Bahrain. | |

| #10 The report also voiced alarm at soaring violence against Islamic minorities including Shiites and Ahmadis in Pakistain... The Ahmadis I actually feel bad for. They're annoying I grant you (I've met some) - and proselytize like Mormon Amway salesmen for their branch of Islam – but their sect is genuinely non-violent. The Shia OTOH have been *more* than happy to violently persecute others in Pakistan, given half a chance. So screw them. |

| #8 soaring violence against Islamic minorities including Shiites and Ahmadis in Pakistain This would be violence by Muslims against Muslims. Seems a little disingenuous to call it anti-Muslim sentiment. Unless you are accusing Muslims of being intolerant. |

| #7 The intolerant complaining of intolerance....only idiots find this confusing or unexpected. As for my personal prejudices, I'm ok with them, since they seem fact based on the content of the Koran and Hadiths. |

| #5 ..considering that Sunni and Shiite have a problem with mutual homicidal sports, probably only 'dead' religions. |

| #4 Muslims make out they are victims when most of the time they are the aggressors. Name me a religion they can live alongside? |

| #3 My anti-Muslim sentiment hasn't risen; hasn't much changed in 11 1/2 years. |

| #2 And I suppose not a single word about the anti-Christian and Jewish persecutions throughout the Islamic World. Not a word about the Coptic Christian of Egypt, or the Christians of Indonesia or Africa. How much of that 'Anti-Muslim' Sentiment is simply resistance to Islamic conversions (aka: Convert, Pay a tax in humiliation, or die). I'm thinking a lot of it. I'm really tired of our so-called leadersh*t simply bending over and spreading our butt-cheeks every time some Islamic Cleric claims persecution. They aren't persecuted. Protected, Coddled, yes. Persecuted - no. |

| #1 However, predicated upon the acts of a few, the official US government position will continue to treat whites as inherently racist and will continue to pursue 'remedies' that curtail basic civil and Constitutional rights. |
