Have you heard Howie Carr, Glenn Beck and other right wingers saying that there has never been a Muslim backlash in our country by Americans? I have and it’s pissing me off, because there has ALWAYS been a backlash to the Muslim community.

After the Oklahoma City Bombing, the Muslims were blamed for the attack or some thought they were behind it:

[emit]…Within two days after the Oklahoma City bombing, there were hundreds of recorded instances of harassment and hate crimes against Muslims, Arabs, Iraqis, people who appeared to be Muslims, and Muslim organizations and buildings. Two days after the explosion, Timothy McVeigh was arrested. But the anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti- Iraqi attacks continued for weeks. 2 One Muslim woman miscarried after an attack. Local Muslims later asked to participate in a mass memorial service led by the Governor. They were refused. However, Muslim delegations from other areas of the country were allowed to attend. The service was entirely Judeo-Christian in format.

Right after 9/11/01 the following happened:

~Six bullets shattered windows of a mosque in Irving, TX. $3,000 in damage was caused.

~A bag filled with blood and labeled ‘Pig’s blood’ was thrown at the door of a mosque in San Francisco, CA.

~Four bricks were thrown through the windows of a Muslim bookstore in Alexandria, VA. Also in Virginia, two mosques reported vandalism.

~On the afternoon of Saturday, 2001-SEP-15, a gunman killed the 49 year old owner of a gas station in Mesa, AZ. He was a Sikh. His family believes that he was killed because he “looked Middle Eastern.” Additional shots were fired at a Lebanese clerk and at the home of an Afghan family.

~The British Broadcasting Commission (BBC) reported that there had been many death threats and assaults against Muslims.

~Two mosques were firebombed with Molotov cocktails during the weekend of OCT-20-21. They are located in Burlington and Mississauga, near Toronto ON Canada. Kendrich House, 35, from Oakville ON has allegedly been charged.

To say that there has never been a backlash is so laughable. What is going on is the right wing of this country hates anyone who is darker than pasty white, but after the Fort Hood massacre (everyone agrees Hasan is a criminal and should go to jail for the rest of his life!), they want us to believe that there isn’t one person in America right now who calls themselves a conservative is not planning something. Oh yes, these are the same people who turned their back when a white conservative walked into a church and killed two liberals. These are the same people who rallied, applauded, and was orgasmic at the killing of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan after Bush lied to our nation! Seriously, for the conservatives to go on record saying there has never been a backlash against Muslims by Americans ever is just hysterical and their way of removing themselves from their hatred!

Oh please. Fox News right now is drumming up their own hatred towards MUSLIMS in response to the Fort Hood massacre and we all know what will happen in response? Some right wing conservative wacko will retaliate against Muslims! Unfortunately, we can count on it happening. Our nation is not safe with conservatives in it. Muslims are the least of our worries.
