| Muslim groups seek to co-opt Ferguson protests |
| 2014-11-19 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna Muslim groups have stepped up efforts to co-opt protests over the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., with a drive to equate the teen’s death to the death of a radical Islamist shot during an FBI raid in 2009, a Washington-based security watchdog group is warning. Using social media, conference calling and traditional outreach methods, leaders of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) are portraying Brown and Detroit mosque leader Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah as African-American victims of police targeting, according to the Washington-based Center for Security Policy (CSP). In a conference call organized by CAIR-linked "Muslims for Ferguson, a CAIR official called Abdullah a “Shaheed,” or martyr, and said both he and Brown were victims of a national security apparatus that had “completely gone wild” and engaged in “demonizing and criminalizing Muslims.” |

| #1 With so many different groups throwing their hats in the ring, I see each group trying to out-shine each other, and some groups are just not interested in peaceful protest; the last go-round with the white kids from Illinois throwing molotovs for instance. The media's tendency to find a bloody shirt even if they have to make it up. The professionals who will probe the law enforcement's moral. Obama's agents thinking they have a reign on this monster. Obama himself, taking this to the floor of the UN, and really trying to get this very thing going since the Gates bullshit. This is his fruit, hung squarely on his door. And all the while, Obama is stabbing the Black community right in the a-hole when he declares amnesty and seals the fate of all low-income Blacks, the bad and good ones. I don't know if there can be a winner, but the flat out losers will be the people of Ferguson, for generations. |
