As soon as the story broke that the uncle of the two suspects said they had been in Islam my Facebook exploded with Islamophobic remarks- by a bunch of "Christians". It is absolutely disgusting. The JP that killed the DAs in Texas was Christian, but not a peep about how his religion led him to do the horrid things he did. But as soon as it is somewhat connected to Islam, suddenly it is that religions fault. I'm so livid right now as I type this. Xenophobia and Islamophobia will once again rear it's ugly head in this country. Why oh why couldn't they have just been run of the mill white guys- you wouldn't have heard a peep about their background then. Lets just hope there isn't any 'revenge killings' against innocent people like there was after 9/11- but with all this hateful rhetoric I am not optimistic.

Cause some white guys are Islamic terrorists and that isn't the kind of white enemy you wish for.
OMG the lunacy today and bending over backwards to protect anything - what was it?! non- 'run of the mill white'.

(3,731 posts)on another thread, I said that they were Islamic terrorists, I was questioned on it so I clarified by saying they were terrorists who just happened to be of the Islamic faith.
In no way am I blaming the Islamic faith for what these 2 terrorists did.

I think it's been exactly 18 years (to the day if I am not mistaken) since OKC.

And if you don't get the sarcasm, I feel nothing but pity for you.

(2,542 posts)Trying to let them know how fucked up it is to blame the entire religion when their own has so many skeletons in their closet. I hadn't seen anything like this from them in the past.
