Report: Anti-Muslim hate crimes up sharply
Civil rights violations at highest level since just after 9/11 attacks

NEWARK, N.J. - The number of reported bias crimes and civil rights violations committed against Muslims in the United States soared to its highest level last year since the period immediately after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a new report finds.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7809537/

Gee, I wonder which group is most responsible for fueling anti-Muslim hatred?
Can you say FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANS? I knew you could.

To be honest though, considering a high number of Arabs voted for scrubbie and his sociopathic party, I don't have sympathy for some of them.

1. It all makes sense
Violence in Iraq is up sharply...the war effort is flailing...so we take it out on our Muslims here.

It all makes sense, in a Republican kind of way.

2. Have to combine that
with RW hate radio too. O'reilly comparing our Holy Book to the Mein Kampf, and the daily rantings about how we're all terrorists and Al-Qaeda operatives.

5. It's a tragedy and an outrage so terrible I can't find the words for it.
And it's politically driven for corporate profits. Blood and hate money.

See my long post below.

Most Americans are not like this. Bush did not actually win either of the last two elections. He is in office by election fraud, and he is ruining the world.

6. You need to see
Some of the insane statements Corsi made during the election. As you know he co-wrote the Swiftboat book, he made some insane comments. Here are some of his insane comments via mediamatters:

On Catholics and the Pope

CORSI: Maybe while he's there he can tell the UN what he's going to do about the sexual crimes committed by "priests" in his "Church" during his tenure. Or, maybe that's the connection -- boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn't reported by the liberal press. (03/03/2003)

CORSI: So this is what the last days of the Catholic Church are going to look like. Buggering boys undermines the moral base and the laywers rip the gold off the Vatican altars. We may get one more Pope, when this senile one dies, but that's probably about it. (12/16/2002)

On Islam and Arabs

CORSI: Let's see exactly why it isn't the case that Islam is a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion? Where's the proof to the contrary? (04/24/2004)

CORSI: Islam is like a virus -- it affects the mind -- maybe even better as an analogy -- it is a cancer that destroys the body it infects... No doctor would hesitate to eliminate cancer cells from the body. (11/26/02)

CORSI: Islam is a peaceful religion as long as the women are beaten, the boys buggered, and the infidels killed. (11/22/2002)

CORSI: How's this as an analogy -- the Koran is simply the "software" for producing deviant cancer cell political behavior and violence in human beings. (02/15/2002)

CORSI: Think the liberal press will ever let out that these 2 were lovers -- typical Islamic boy-buggering -- older man, younger man -- black Muslims? I doubt it. Not a pretty picture, but one certain to be hidden by PC media. (11/08/2002)

CORSI: Isn't the Democratic Party the official SODOMIZER PROTECTION ASSOCIATION of AMERICA -- oh, I forgot, it was just an accident that Clintoon's first act in office was to promote "gays in the military." RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters -- it all goes together. (11/18/2001)

On Senator John Kerry

CORSI: First let's undermine the US in Vietnam. Then we can go for gay marriage. When you get to be Pres. JFK-lite, there will be no end to how much of America we can destroy. (05/17/2004)

CORSI: Just don't let anybody put a tablet with the Ten Commandments in front of the school where that girl wants to wear a Muslim scarf -- OH, No --- then the RATS would complain. Anti-Christian, Anti-American -- just like their Presidential Candidate -- Jean Francois Kerrie. (03/31/2004)

CORSI: After he married TerRAHsa, didn't John Kerry begin practicing Judiasm? He also has paternal gradparents that were Jewish. What religion is John Kerry? (03/04/2004)

CORSI: Kerry has a long history of Communist supporters. (03/12/2004)

CORSI: Kerry offers a clear choice. Anti-American hatred. (02/08/2004)

CORSI: John F*ing Commie Kerry and Commie Ted discuss their plan to hand America over to our nation's enemies. (02/04/2004)

On former President Bill Clinton

CORSI: When is this guy going to admit he's simply an anti-American communist? Won't he and his leftist wife simply go away???? Enough already. (02/24/2002)

CORSI: Hey, Bill, didn't you steal enough when you had the chance? (02/15/2002)

CORSI: Clinton doesn't get it. Afganistan, and other Moslim countries, are not poor because they lack money. The culture itself is anti-modern. But then, maybe Slick did get it and he just wants to create another bork barrel from which he and his wife can draw slop. (02/15/2002)

CORSI: Clinton was more interested in gays in the military than going after OBL. Clinton had Janet Rhino pushing the FBI to deport a child to Castro's nondemocratic Cuba, not searching out OBL sleepers in the USA. Clinton was too busy getting BJs in the Oval Office to do more than Wag the Dog after the Cole was hit. (05/16/2002)

On Senator Hillary Clinton

CORSI: HELL-ary loves the Arabs so much (kiss, kiss Mrs. Arab*RAT) -- wonder how she would look in a Burkha? (05/21/2002)

CORSI: Mullah Ali'Gore-ah is very proud of his new Bin Laden beard and he hopes others in the Democratic Party will follow his lead. Hell-ary is disappointed she cannot grow a beard, but her press secretary reminds us she can still enroll in flight school. (01/07/02)

CORSI: Let the FAT HOG run!!! (08/30/2003)

CORSI: Hellary should resign and go away. What ever happened to the people she ran over with her car at Westchester Airport? Can't anybody sue this b*tch? (11/17/2002)

CORSI: Anybody ask why HELLary couldn't keep BJ Bill satisfied? Not lesbo or anything, is she? (06/08/2003)

On Chelsea Clinton

CORSI: According to Talk Magazine, Chubby Chelsea had a very great adventure on 9/11 in NYC and Hell-ary had the details wrong -- oh, it was terrible. (12/07/2001)

CORSI: Did the Journalist see Chubbie Chelsea among the wives. Little Katie Communist on the NBC Today show interviewed Hillary this morning and mom is worried sick about Chelsea. She was last seen in Kandahar at a Starbucks. But now, as Little Katie Communist sighed, "Who Knows?" Even British disinformation planted reports such as this grocery crap will be useful. Anyone with information about Chubbie Chelsea's whereabouts should post it now. Mom wants to know her daughter is out of harms way. Mom also wants to be at the center of the story. (11/29/2001)

CORSI: But the real question is: WHERE IS CHUBBIE CHELSEA? Is she in Kabul in danger, looking for a Starbucks? Waldo wants to know. Please, Little Katie Communist, HELP US FIND CHELSEA. THE SITUATION MAY BE URGENT. (11/29/2001)

CORSI: HILLARY SAYS CHELSEA IS MISSING AND JANET RHINO DOESN'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS? (11/28/2001)

On former Vice President Al Gore

CORSI: Gore isn't available for television. He is growing his regulation length Bin Laden beard. Mullah Ali'Gore-ah, as he now wishes to be called, is focused on his new career as a pilot. "Want to fly like bird," he says after his stint as a professor at Columbia. "No need to learn take-off or landing, just soar like bird and look at buildings." As to Florida, Mulllah Gore-ah says, "No big buildings," dismissing the importance of the state to his future plans." (12/15/2001)

On the Media

CORSI: Time to FREEP Chris Matthews of MSNBC. MSNBC is beginning to stand for "More Sh*t, Nothing But Communism." (05/16/2002)

CORSI: I didn't realize Little Katie Communist of the NBC Today Show knew how to hack a website. Finally something impressive from the little wimp. (07/12/2002)

CORSI: COMMUNISM -- it's simple NBC = NOTHING BUT COMMUNISM. (04/19/2004)

CORSI: Susan Estrogen -- even the voice grates. But then with supporters like her and Ted Kennedy, who needs enemies. Let Susan BLAH BLAH screatch -- only Chrissy Matthews whines better. (04/13/2004)

Assorted

CORSI: Perfect Liberal -- lesbian, self-absorbed, hates America, anxious to impose her values on everybody else. (06/26/2002)

CORSI: And now we get Pooh-LEFTY pushed on us by the RATS as Minority Leader in the House -- here come the SanFrancisco liberals -- hope the RATS go back to focusing the debate on gay marriages and other pro-choice topics close to Pelosi's heart. (11/18/2002)

CORSI: Too bad the plane didn't crash into the TV set of the NBC show "THE LEFT WING" -- especially when Martin Sheen was "acting." (06/07/2003)

7. Thank you. I did see these - they are partially listed and fully linked to
Edited on Thu May-12-05 11:27 AM by Nothing Without Hope
in this reply of the Corsi post that I gave:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1768708&mesg_id=1769817

I believe this man is insane. He is vicious and full of lies about all those he hates - and that definitely includes all Muslims and a long list of other groups and individuals. He may even believe them if he is truly as delusional as he seems. Yet he has consistently received support for his campaigns to spread this poison in any way he can. He slanders, libels, lies over and over but he continues to be praised by the neocons and supported in his publicity campaigns. His hates and viciousness are politically useful to the neocons, who want war with Iran and domination over the Middle East any way they can get it. So they use all the conduits of hatred and lies - Corsi and hate radio and the compliant, corrupt corporate media - to push the American public into fear and a belief that "self-defense" against the neocons' designated "enemies" are essential for survival of their families.

It is pure evil. Not the American people, but those who deliberately deceive them.

I recommend working through that entire thread. There are a lot of important things in there, and the more we know about it the less surprisable we will be.

I also strongly recommend listening to the lecture of David Griffin, a theologian who presents an overwhelming case that this government of neocons PLANNED AND STAGED THE 9/11 ATTACKS ON THEIR OWN CITIZENS to generate enough fear and hate that they could get the political power they wanted. Prof. Griffin also has much to say about what we need to do to promote real peace and understanding. His speech was given under the auspices of a group whose main purpose is to promote understanding between Muslims and the other faiths.

If you do not have links to the video of this speech, let me know and I'll post them. It was all over DU a few days back when his rebroadcast speech was shown on CSPAN - I saw the Corsi talk because I left the streaming video on the computer running and it aired later that same afternoon. The contrast with Griffin's speech and his whole purpose and tone could not be greater.

PM me if you want links to Griffin's work on the 9/11 attacks. Every American - indeed, every world citizen - should hear this speech. It is that vitally important to our understanding, I believe.

4. The hate-mongering about Muslims is politically-driven. Read this
terrifying thread about what Jerome Corsi (Swift Boat liars book co-author) is saying about Iran. He is viciously, insanely (literally, I believe) biased against Muslims. He is pushing the idea that Iran will detonate a nuclear bomb in an American city - he likes the idea of it being NYC - as soon as they have enough enriched uranium for a warhead. He says there are 'sleeper cells" of Iranian terrorists in place ready to set this bomb up.

He says Bush's "patience" with iran will end next month - June. Same time that Seymour Hersh and Scott Ritter give for the invasion of Iraq.

It sounds like Israel will invade Iran first and then there will be some reason set up for the US to help Israel in this attack. Corsi calls this "Operation Samson" but he is wrong - it is "Operation Daniel" and Ariel Sharon was talking to Bush and the other administration people last month to push it. He came all the way to Crawford Texas for this - a sign that this is a serious deal. I believe a pre-emptive attack is planned and something will happen in this country to make sure that war follows.

The name of the planned TV ads that Corsi's "Iran Freedom Foundation" will be airing is "An Atomic 9/11"

The magnitude of the evil and lies in pushing this propaganda is hard for me to grasp. The hate and the fearmongering and the rest of it -- I just can't human beings so foul as to push this war, but they are doing it.

Please read this whole thread, including the links in the replies. It's very, very important. We must figure how to respond. Something terrible is going to happen, I'm afraid.

8. Web site for the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth
http://www.mujca.com

MUJCA-NET is a group of scholars, religious leaders and activists dedicated to uniting members of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths in pursuit of 9/11 truth. We believe that the process of joining together in search of the truth about 9/11 will bring enormous benefits, regardless of what truths we may discover. While our endorsers and supporters have different views about the probable level of US government complicity in 9/11, all of us agree that a new, honest investigation of the possibility of official complicity is a matter of the most urgent national and global importance.
