Some Muslims 'butt hurt' over Champ's request to assist in rooting out terrorists
2015-12-09
[NpeeR] President Obama's request that Muslim Americans help "root out" and confront extremist ideology in their communities is getting mixed reactions. Muslim leaders say they want to help, but some are not happy that they are being singled out.

"We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups," said Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour, who has worked extensively with the Black Lives Matter movement and other minority groups. "The fact that this is only directed at the Muslim community is something that I personally can't accept."

In his Sunday-night message, the president did say Muslims should not be treated differently, but administration officials say they are looking to the Muslim American community for some particular assistance. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson took that request personally Monday to the All Dulles Area Muslim Society mosque in Sterling, Va.

"I will continue to speak out against the discrimination, vilification and isolation that American Muslims face in these challenging times," Johnson said.

#6  Don't feel bad, all you Muslims. He has to say that to placate the electorate but he would never really expect you to do it.

#5  It's one of your last warnings. Clean your own house out, or have it clean for you. You can do surgery. The alternative is far more blunt in others hands.

#4  The Muslim communities is happy to sit and wait to determine who is the strong horse. They should not be treated as allies when they have chosen to complain about every method used to fight the enemy and hide the enemies in their populations.

Willy Sutton, when asked why he robbed banks said because that's where the money is at. Likewise with radical Islamics, that's where the terrorism is at. While we are at it, we should outlaw the practice of Sharia Law.

We should start using a 4-Pinocchio like system for these Muslims who publicly decry so loudly efforts to root out the radicals who are trying to kill us: Something like a "4-fuck yous" system.

Lying SOB. Just that is demanded every time the press thinks they have a case of violence against abortionists. But unlike Muslims, Christians of all denominations condemn murder.
