| Muslim Americans fear demonisation of Islam after mass shooting |
| 2015-12-05 |
| [DAWN] DEARBORN: Muslim Americans fear their religion will be demonised and Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... will spread after a young Muslim couple was accused of carrying out one of the bloodiest mass killings in the United States. Across the country, Muslim Americans responded with shock and outrage after a shooting in which authorities said Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, stormed a holiday party attended by San Bernardino County employees in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, on Wednesday, killing 14 people and wounding 21. "I was at the gym yesterday while the shooting was taking place and all the TVs were showing that footage and all I could keep thinking to myself is 'God, I hope they don't have any Eastern descent, not just Middle Eastern, anything we'd associate with a Muslim'," said Adam Hashem, 32, in Dearborn, a bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... suburb with one of the country's largest Muslim populations. "We're all worried. We're all concerned," he said. It was the deadliest US mass shooting since the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre three years ago. While the motivation remained unclear as authorities investigated the attack, details of Farook and Malik began to emerge. Farook was described as a second-generation American born in Illinois and raised by Pak parents. Malik was born in Pakistain and lived 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... until she was introduced to Farook. San Bernardino police said they found pipe bombs and several thousands rounds of ammunition at the residence of the couple, who died in a shoot-out with police. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Attari Supermarket bustled on Thursday with customers shopping for Middle Eastern products. "In every culture and in every religion there are bad apples that will spoil the rest of the apples. That has happened toward us," said Dawod Dawod, a 25-year-old Muslim American, who manages the store that his family has owned for a decade. When was the last time Rosicrucians shot anyplace up? |

| #9 In World War 2 Japanese Americans signed up in numbers to prove their loyalty despite a US government grabbing their stuff. They are free to leave if their fear is to great. I'm tired of hearing about their fear of some future demonization (that never seems to happen) after each attack by their coreligionists (which happens with increasing frequency). |

| #7 Islamophobia propaganda is the entire point of murdering civilians If you can get the host society to blame itself then you have won they spend their time navel gazing - this prevents retaliation against the ideology of political islamism Islamists are then free to attack again and again until the host society capitulates |
