After Vicious Anti-Muslim Rally, a Deafening Silence

The silence from those who organized and promoted a California anti-Muslim protest that devolved into a revolting display of hatred has been deafening.

A major Muslim organization released a video compilation earlier this week that depicted a Feb. 13 rally in Yorba Linda promoted by several Muslim-bashing groups, conservative organizations, local and national politicians, and some Jewish leaders. Although the rally started out as a strident but peaceful protest against a Muslim fundraiser that included two highly controversial speakers, a group of about 100 protesters broke away from the main crowd and launched into a series of vicious tirades.

The video is chilling. Small children, clutching their parents’ hands fearfully as they arrive at the fundraiser, cower as people behind police lines wave American flags and scream, “Go back home! Go back home! Terrorists! Terrorists!” A tiny girl in a pink hijab walks past the camera as a man’s voice rises above the crowd: “Muhammad was a child molester!” he shouts. A woman, standing behind a police barrier, bellows at the Muslim cameraman. “You’re a terrorist!” she screams. “Go home, go home! … Do you beat your wife, too? Are you a molester? … You beat your women, your wife and your children. Why don’t you go beat up your wife like you do every night? Why not go have sex with a 9-year-old, marry her?”

These are the people who want to run our country. This is sickening, how hatred has taken over sanity.

There always always as to be an "other" with people like this. Someone to hate, someone to blame... Americans being defined by their country or religion of origin by others who are only a couple of generations away from coming on shore from other regions is just mind boggling.

Here is the nubs on that.. many Muslim families have been in this country generations longer than those hollering on the edges.

Just saying.. they have no room to point fingers.. when the rest of us are wondering about their politics of origin

I think fear motivates the haters too. They like to scare and to be scared....like it's holy to them. Dumb asses.
