Oklahoma Man Shot After Telling 911 He Would Shoot 'Anything That Looks Like A Muslim'



This is the house that hate built. An Oklahoma man is in the hospital after being shot by police after he called 911 threatening to start shooting "anything that looks like a Muslim."

He told the 911 operator he was suffering from severe mental illness, and I don't doubt it. But look at how he phrased his comment about shooting "anything" that looked Muslim. Thanks to our paranoid politicians and media, so fear-filled and anxious for a political win, Muslims are dehumanized and treated as one big monolithic block to be used for target practice.

Hate festers and grows like a mega-malignant cancer; stoked and fed daily by the fear-mongering that bombards us.

Or were they all Muslims pretending to be Catholics and Protestants?
