If you're ever unsure whether a statement about Muslims is bigoted, simply substitute the name of another minority community into the same sentence. If it sounds uncomfortable or even heinous to you upon doing so, rest assured that the original statement is probably just as malign.
"At 8:46 a.m., five Amish hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center's North Tower (1 WTC), and at 9:03 a.m., another five Amish hijackers crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower (2 WTC).
"Five Amish hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m.
"A fourth flight, United Airlines Flight 93, under the control of four Amish hijackers, crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, southeast of Pittsburgh, at 10:03 a.m. after the passengers fought the Amish hijackers. Flight 93's target is believed to have been either the Capitol or the White House."
Doesn't sound uncomfortable or heinous to me. Then again, I'm not unsure about those statements.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
