Muslims Are Mad, Rightly So
I am starting to get very fed up with the reactionary right-wing jerks who comment on stories over at the Press Herald. They wrote a follow-up article for the porker story from Tuesday. Here's a piece.
Why do people have to be so hateful? A hateful person's ultimate goal is to make everyone different disappear. Immigrants, Muslims, gays would all just disappear. They have to realize that that is a ridiculous goal. What they don't understand though is that if they're here they might as well get used to them, they'll be sticking around. Mantra's like "God Bless America! LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!" just don't work. They never worked.
Americans are too narrow-minded to understand that not all Muslims are suicide bombers, or terrorists/ radicalists. Some are just people who want to go to church without having pig-heads thrown through the windows.
We are trying to tell (people) not to worry," said Imam Nuh, who leads prayers at the Islamic center. "But this is not good for the Muslim religion."Very well put. The man is going to be charged with a hate crime, and he should. It was completely unacceptable. More unacceptable than that however are the aforementioned jerks defending the pig-tosser; saying bullshit like "It was a joke, and they're calling it a hate crime? There is no justice in the world!"
Nuh said he has been receiving calls of support from Muslims around the country. He said followers must not be provoked by others and need to show that Islam is a faith rooted in peace.
About 40 men were bowed in prayer when the frozen pig's head was rolled into the Lewiston-Auburn Islamic Center Monday night. Muslims are prohibited from eating pork because pigs are considered unclean.
Matthews, who was arrested Tuesday and released on bail, told police he did it as a "joke," authorities said.
"All Americans should be able to offer prayers in their houses of worship without fear of attack or intimidation," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on America-Islamic Relations.

As men gathered to pray late Wednesday, Nuh spoke with Naleye Duale, an 11-year-old who was at the center on Monday night.That's what those jerks get off on. Imagine.
When the Imam asks him how he felt following the incident, Duale answered with a single word.
"Sad."

I can't even imagine being at worship and having something like that happen. One wonders where the outrage is. Besides here, I mean. You've got some excellent outage here.
The outrage is all about Ken Lay's "mysterious" death and Tom Cruise's "mysterious" baby--you know, the really important things...
Of course, if some Muslim were to come into these goons' church and make a scene, they'd be calling for his head.
