KKK plans protest of Syrian refugees in Texas
By Dylan Baddour
Published 11:35 am, Thursday, December 3, 2015

An East Texas branch of the Ku Klux Klan plans a public demonstration in a Dallas suburb against resettlement of Syrian refugees in the Lone Star State.

According to the website of the Texas Rebel Knights, a KKK chapter based in Quilan, Texas, the "mosque rally" has been rescheduled from February to May 2016 in Irving.

Irving, the Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday, has become an unlikely hotbed for tensions with American Muslims. It's where virtual alarms sounded for the alleged founding of an extra-constitutional Islamic law court in the summer (which PolitiFact Texas found was false).

It's mere miles from the convention center where an East Coast-based anti-Islam group hosted a contest for drawings of the prophet Muhammad, which was attacked by religiously-inspired gunmen who drove from Arizona.

monitoring folks here.

Your approach to my comment is interesting for sure.

I am guilty of hating racist motherfuckers who seek to destroy this country, so sue me.

If my anger towards these racists bothers you so much, then maybe you are at the wrong message board.

and I am not at the wrong message board. The problem was your implied threat of violence against millions of people. That bothers me a lot. The problem is your suggestion that I'm some kind of fucking spy, monitoring people, or the hint that I should be run off because I called you out for your comment. Since you disagree so strongly with what I said, attack that and not me. Attack the institutions of racism, not white people.

I know I'm not supposed to feel that way, but the hate I feel for them consumes me.

8. I think they ought to have a contest over who could create the snazziest headgear, ISIS or KKK.

I think those black scarves and stuff ISIS uses not only work in the evenings, but can be used in a variety of social situations.

The white pillowcases the KKK wear reminds me of my grandmother's living room. Or a feed store.
