 The ruins of a mosque in Joplin, Missouri, after a fire last month that Muslims leaders suspect was an arson.

Rising anti-Islamic sentiment in America troubles MuslimsBy Moni Basu, CNN On the program, called "The Threat in Our Backyard," is a lecture on Islam in public schools and a short film on Sharia finance. It's a program organized by people who feel the American way of life is threatened by Islam - in particular, Sharia, or Islamic law. Sharia would bring ruin to America, says Greg Johnson, vice president of the 9/12 Project Tennessee, a sponsor of the event that advocates for shifting government back to the intent of the Constitution's authors. He says he has nothing against Muslims, but he takes issue with the tenets of Islam. Sharia, he believes, would mean that practicing homosexuals would be put to death, women would not be educated and would be married off to men chosen by their fathers, and non-Muslims would become kafirs - nonbelievers - relegated to second-class citizenship. My Faith: After my mosque was torched "And I don't want that coming to America," Johnson says. He's not alone in his fears. A tide of anti-Islam sentiment has been swelling across America in recent months, strong enough to prompt one imam to wish for the days immediately after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks when President George W. Bush declared that Muslims were not our enemies; that the war on terror was against a select few who acted upon their hate for America. "In the 11 years since, we have retreated," says Abdullah Antepli, the Muslim chaplain at Duke University who likes to call himself the Blue Devil Imam. Muslims make up less than 1% of the U.S. population. Yet, say Muslim advocates, they are a community besieged. Hate crimes against Muslims spiked 50% in 2010, the last year for which FBI statistics are available. That was in a year marked by Muslim-bashing speech over the Islamic center near ground zero in Manhattan and Florida Pastor Terry Jones' threats to burn Qurans. Why some American Muslims wear the hijab Antepli likens the current climate to McCarthyism. Left unchecked, he says, anti-Muslim fervor, like racism and anti-Semitism, has the potential to evolve into something dangerous. This year's holy month of Ramadan, which ended August 19, was marred by a spate of violence at U.S. Islamic centers that included a fire, a homemade bomb and pig parts. The incidents were unprecedented in scale and scope, says the Council on American-Islamic Relations. At least seven mosques and one cemetery were attacked in the United States during Ramadan, according to the council and other groups that track such incidents. Particularly visible on the anti-Muslim radar has been the state of Tennessee, where a mosque opened during Ramadan after two years of controversy. The new Islamic center in Murfreesboro opened a few weeks ago after delays caused by legal wrangling, community protests and vandalism. Also in Tennessee, incumbent congresswoman Diane Black found herself publicly opposing Sharia after her opponent Lou Ann Zelenik made it a campaign issue. Follow the CNN Belief Blog on Twitter State senatorial candidate Woody Degan's website also mentions Sharia: "VOTE CONSERVATIVE! VOTE Anti-Sharia, VOTE Against Internet Taxes, Vote FOR Gun Carry Rights! VOTE for your PERSONAL RIGHTS!" And Gov. Bill Haslam recently came under fire for hiring lawyer Samar Ali, a Muslim woman from Tennessee, to work in the international division of the state's economic development department. Ali's critics called her Sharia-compliant and a website called Bill H(Islam) attacked the governor for pursuing "a policy that promotes the interest of Islamist (sic) and their radical ideology." The website links to another that discusses, among other things, Islamic infiltration of public schools. "I cannot stress enough the seriousness of their push to spread their religion to all non-Muslims throughout our country," says website author Cathy Hinners, another speaker at next Tuesday's 9/11 event in Franklin. Why do Muslims pray five times daily? "Why? Why are Muslims so adamant that we accept their religion? The answer is simple. The answer is in black and white. The answer is in the Muslim brotherhoods "Strategic Goal for North America." It's called a global caliphate. One religion, one government, one law... called Sharia." In November 2010, more than 70% of voters in Oklahoma approved a ballot initiative to amend the state's constitution that banned courts from looking at "legal precepts of other nations or cultures. Specifically, the courts shall not consider international law or Sharia law." The amendment died after a federal court ruled it discriminatory. "That was very explicitly anti-Islamic," says Glenn Hendrix, an Atlanta lawyer who specializes in international law. "It specifically referenced Sharia." This year, 33 anti-Sharia or international law bills were introduced in 20 states, making it a key issue. Six states - Louisiana, South Dakota, Kansas, Arizona, Louisiana and Tennessee - adopted such laws prior to 2012. Two Tennessee lawmakers attempted to pass a bill this year that would have made it a felony to practice Sharia, but it failed. The Council on American-Islamic Relations says the anti-Sharia bills are based on draft legislation promoted by David Yerushalmi, an anti-Islamic lawyer from New York. Yerushalmi founded the Society of Americans for National Existence, an organization devoted to promoting his theory that Islam is inherently seditious and Sharia is a "criminal conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups. "Ideally," says the center, "he would outlaw Islam and deport its adherents altogether." Hendrix says anti-Sharia legislation is not necessary since U.S. courts ultimately are beholden to U.S. law. But it sends a strong message to the Muslim community. CNN’s Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories The American Bar Association, which opposes federal or state laws that impose blanket prohibitions on foreign laws, says such legislative initiatives stigmatize an entire religious community and "are inconsistent with some of the core principles and ideals of American jurisprudence." Valarie Kaur, a legal advocate and hate crimes specialist, says proponents of anti-Sharia bills are battling an imaginary threat. "There is no push to install Sharia law in the U.S.," she says. "Anti-Sharia bills target the religious principles of Muslim Americans and fuel anti-Muslim rhetoric and bias. As a Sikh American whose community has too often become the target of hate, I believe it's time to stand against all forms of racism and religious bigotry." An attack at a Wisconsin Sikh temple last month killed six people. Many believe the shooter mistook Sikhs for Muslims. A Sikh gas station attendant in Arizona was the first victim of reprisal after the 9/11 attacks. Kaur blames tough economic times and an amplification of hateful speech for incidents like the temple shooting and the momentum behind the anti-Sharia campaign. For Muslims, Sharia - which means "path to the watering hole" in Arabic - is the divine law revealed centuries ago in the Quran that governs all aspects of life. More often than not, it's the most sensational parts of Sharia - like cutting off a thief's hand - that garner the most publicity. U.S. courts bump up against it in cases of divorces, inheritance, child custody, enforcement of money judgments and commercial disputes or tort actions. A trial court in New Jersey, for instance, ruled that a husband, who was Muslim, lacked the criminal intent to commit sexual assault on his wife because Sharia permits a man to have sex with his wife whenever he wants. That's the kind of ruling that fuels anti-Sharia activists. Nashville health-care investor Andrew Miller says there's no room for democracy within Islamic ideology. All you have to do is look to any Islamic state, he says. "If you wanted to pray to a large rock and that was your God, I could care less," he says. "But the minute you want to put a gun to my head and say you will pray to this large rock and your family will or you will pay the price, that's when I see a bully. I see an overbearing ideology that wants to force and coerce people. Miller describes himself as a tolerant person but not when it comes to people dictating how others will live. "That's antithetical to the freedoms that we value, the liberty we value," he says. The message that Islam is evil has been repeated so many times - sometimes directly, sometimes in a more subtle fashion - that it has sunk in as reality in the hearts and minds of many Americans, says Antepli, the Duke chaplain. Part of it is fear of the unknown, he says. "I, too, would have a monstrous image of Islam if I did not know any better." But another part of it is orchestrated, he says, referring to "well-organized and polished" anti-Islam websites that have sprouted in recent years. Marry that with ignorance and the end result is lethal, Antepli says. The Center for American Progress, a liberal research and advocacy organization, published a report last year that attributed the rise of Islamophobia to a "small, tightly-networked group of misinformation experts." The report called "Fear, Inc." lists seven foundations that gave $42.6 million to think tanks to promote anti-Islamic thought. It describes "deeply intertwined individuals and organizations" that "manufacture and exaggerate threats of 'creeping Sharia,' Islamic domination of the West, and purported obligatory calls to violence against all non-Muslims by the Quran." The issue of Sharia, say some Muslims, has become a political hot potato in an election year. GOP candidates Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann mentioned Sharia in their campaign speeches. This year's Republican Party platform makes mention of foreign laws: "Subjecting American citizens to foreign laws is inimical to the spirit of the Constitution. It is one reason we oppose U.S. participation in the International Criminal Court. There must be no use of foreign law by U.S. courts in interpreting our Constitution and laws. Nor should foreign sources of law be used in State courts' adjudication of criminal or civil matters." That's the message Miller hopes people will take away from next week's 9/11 meeting; that the tenets of Islam go against the constitution of the United States. It's diametrically opposed to what people like Antepli and Kaur will be saying as America remembers the horror of terrorism. Hateful sentiment, they say, is not the answer. soundoff (2,383 Responses)« Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 Next »

Few 100% true Reasons why Islam is a terrible and evil religion...
1. "Prophet" Muhammed was an evil pédophilé who was an intolerant murder, destroyer and had many wives, incl. 9 year old!
2. Islam = submission. Allah tells Muslim to submit to his will; otherwise he will torture and torment you in life for eternity.
3. Islam treats non-adherents worse than animals. If they are people of the books (Christians or Jewish), classify them as "dhimmis" and make them pay a special tax (Jizya) to the Islamic government, or they should be enslave, rob, rápe, and lynch them as you please unless they convert to Islam.
4. Islam kills those who leave Islam and/or convert to another religion.
It also says to kill gays, atheists and those who insult Islam.
5. Islam says "Men are better than women", "Men could have many wives", "Women are worth half a man", "Selling a wife is perfectly ok".
6. Unlike Christians – Muslims pray and serve Allah, rather than praying for themselves or someone else.
7. Islam is the most violent Religion by far. >> http://www.thereligionofpeace.com <<
8. Muslims frequently persecute and kill Christians unless they convert to their cult. Churches have either been converting into Mosque. (Hagia Sophia an example) or being burned down in Islamic countries.
9. Non-Muslims are forbidden visiting Mecca, and no religious freedom in Saudi Arabia (No churches, No non-Islamic stuff, etc.).
10. Islam is spreading like rats in western countries (Europe & North America), and seek to spread their "Sharia Laws", as well as trying to convert as many people to their "peaceful" religion and ev. Taking over the nation.
11. It is the DUTY of every Muslim to expand Islam and strive for world domination.
12. Quran is nothing but hate and violence.
13. Islam says they believe in Jesus (Isa), yet they deny his words and the Bible.
14. Many Muslims in western nations tries to act "nice" and "tolerant" like normal humans so people think that their religion is "peaceful" and ev. people falling into converting to Islam and accepting them.
May our Lord save us from Islam and its disgusting people!
Muslims could openly practice their religion freely in western (Christian) nations, but Christians or Non-Muslims would risk getting their head cut of doing in in any Islamic nation, both secular and extremist.
****PLEACE WATCH THE VIDEO CLIP TO SEE AN EXAMPLE OF TYPICAL MUSLIM****
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8b3vhTO248&feature=related
do you actually know any muslims? do you work with any? have them for neighbors? discuss religion and life with them?
i do. you should.
the muslims i know are the most respectful people. as an atheist, i am curious about religion and we discuss it frequently. my friends even share muslim holiday feasts with coworders.
@snowboarder. Aw, how sweet. Of course they are nice, but when push comes to shove, they're not. They are blending in well right now. That is part of how they are. Be fooled if you want, but don't come crying when it bites you later.
becky – thanks my morning dose of fearmongering.
You are the one living in fear by not accepting the truth. I don't fear muslims or islam at all. They are nothing to fear because what they follow is nothing, it is empty. They fear, so they spread that fear.
@becky- you don't fear us that's y your on this board promoting propaganda?
is it time already to bash muslims today?
Not bash, but point out what they teach in their book.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8b3vhTO248&feature=related
I am in too. I wish Canada and Viet Nam have the group like that so I can join in.
We fear most what we do not fully understand. Our minds are easily manipulated by fear and hate against someone or something – molded into intentions and actions to harm or destroy. This is true of all people, worldwide. It is nothing new – we have been fighting and killing each other over religions since humans first existed. History is full of stories of religious wars, even dating back to ancient Hindu battles. Civilizations have come and gone, all claiming to have the true religion or philosophy. What we see now is just another chapter in that history. Yet the lesson that we need to learn has not been learned yet. It is as if we have our hands clasped over our ears, over our eyes, refusing to acknowledge it. God (the one and only God by whatever language He is named) sent ALL His Prophets to us as human beings with one message – that there is only One God and we are all One Family. God has no religion. It is we humans who have taken that one message and warped and twisted it to suit our own cultural and arrogant beliefs; striping away the Original message to suit our own needs. Until we learn this lesson and heed the original message, we will continue to hate and kill "in the name of ...." whatever religion we hold dear. Insomuch as we condemn, hate and kill others, we are actually doing unto ourselves. Until we realize that the qualities of peace, love, tolerance and compassion are what are needed, we will continue to suffer and stumble in fear and hate. Until we LOVE ONE ANOTHER we will fall into chaos and destruction. The solution is simple – love one another. The next step is up to each of us.
All the post for hate muslim? I salute ignorance....
You are saluting yourself. Not tolerating them following a book of hate towards those who don't fall in line with what that book teaches them to do to "infidels"is not hate, it is being educated.
WORLD VS ISRAEL. HILLARY CLINTON-THIS IS A MESSAGE FOR YOU – LET MY PEOPLE GO. FREE JONATHAN POLLARD NOW. LET MY PEOPLE GO BARRAK HUSSEIN OBAMA – NOW!
The Land of Israel is the Promised Land given to our forefathers Abraham Isaac and Jacob and is given to us, their seed, as an everlasting Inheritance.

religious belief does not in any way confer ownership of land. the entire idea is ludicrous.
This is bull sh it. Also this Johnathan Pollard is an unstable traitor. Keep him where he is.
Anyone who believes that Islamists aren't coming over for the sole purpose of spreading Islamic hatreds and that all Muslims came to America because they want to be like contemporary Christians obviously doesn't live anywhere near Muslims. It's not hard here in Michigan to see that they have no intention of integration, what with Dearborn standing as a firm reminder. Sure, you might have some that are decent, but a good number will honor kill their daughters for being caught at a mall with her friends.
"you are a liar, a hater, and spread nothing but hate, you are a disgusting human being."
Instead of this nonsense, why don't you offer some evidence as to why we should refute the
truisms on this list ?
rest assured that we will work tirelessly to ensure that islam does not corrupt our government and denying liberty just as we do to keep christianity from doing the same.
With nearly 20,000 terrorist attacks by Muslms since 9/11, it's getting harder and harder for them to claim to be the
'religion of peace' The 'few crazies' have turned into thousands and thousands. I'm thinking the word 'tolerance' isn't part of their vocabulary.
Tolerance is an overused word. Those who speak of tolerance are the most intolerant.
How many people were massacred by Christians during the Crusades (including non-Muslims and other Christians)? How many people were killed during the Inquisitions or witch hunts? How many Native Americans were sacrificed to "Manifest Destiny"? "Ye who is without sin..."
Sharia law is going to be implemented in the USA? Really? I'm not sure how, or where, or who wants it. Obviously not women, or gays, or Christians, or Jews, or secular people. Could it be that the Muslims in America are not really unlike Cuban or Vietnamese or Iranian or Russian immigrants, who all came here because we WEREN'T Cuba or Vietnam or Iran or Russia? Because they were fleeing the injustice in their own countries, and don't want to see anything like that here? For every Muslim immigrant who might long for sharia law there are probably 30 who never want to see it again.
No, their prophet told them they were destined to own the place, and all non-believers had to be eliminated. It's actually doing us a favor to end our worthless, empty existence.
@Phil – Kinda like what the fundiot nutter Christians claim!
Bring on the haters in 3.2.1...
islam/muslims are the haters.
islamists are the haters - they can do islam in islamville arabia
muslims are told to lie to unbelievers – do your homework before you post – so why believe ANYthing they say? They are all liars and face covering cowards.
Amen!
amen
Islam has brought this up on itself. The Dems are their allies in destroy America. Look at what went on at the Dem convention last night. The Dems were embarrassed by Romney openly committing to Jerusalem being the capitol of Israel and his belief in God. So them Dems changed the convention platform couldn't get a positive ya or nay and then declared the vote passed. What did the crown do, booed. I affraid the Dems. now walk hand in hand with Islam.
the religious tried to hijack the platform. it is no wonder there was dissent.
Muslims were not particularly welcome in 1776, or in 1876, not sure how this can be called a "flare".
Jesus/Moses/Mohamed never taught to hate. Times were different then, times are different now. Learn to love instead of hate and life will be a lot better
I am an American Muslim, grew up here and love the USA. I don't believe in extemism and I practice my faith. Islam says to respect all religions, we are all brothers from the same cloth. This is not Saudi, I don't care what happens there. I care what happens in my country .. USA. Stop the hatred. Ban ALL radicalism . including KKK and othere groups.

If you're not actively fighting against Islamic extremist within your ranks than you're no better than them and deserve no respect.
islam/muslims are taught to deceive. Read your book, it's in there.
Thanks Jenn for pointing out the FACTS! But as we all know the liberals and the Muslims are calling the "TRUTH" the new HATE SPEECH!
he is right islam was taught to respect not hate. you people just say wrong staff about islam
I'd like to ask your wife candidly how well she likes it, and if she'd like to do things differently.
muslim/islam does not equal peace and they need to go back to their land. They are infiltrating our country. Not being an obvious threat yet, but they will be, just wait and see. You'll be told "I told you so" when it does happen. Wake up! Research! See what their book they follow really says. The following is excerpted from “Muslims Demand Breakaway Islamic Nation,” Examiner.com, Aug. 19, 2012: “The Norwegian news portal VG Nett is reporting that a Muslim terrorist group, Ansar al-Sunna, is threatening that if a section of the nation’s capitol isn’t transformed into a sharia-complaint Muslim nation, an attack rivaling 9/11 will be launched upon the Scandinavian nation. ... As translated by Michael Laudahn: ‘If Norwegian soldiers can take planes to Afghanistan, then Osama and Mohammed can also take planes to Norway ... This is not a threat, only the words of truth. The words of justice. ... We do not want to be a part of Norwegian society. And we do not consider it necessary either to move away from Norway, because we were born and grew up here. And Allah’s earth belongs to everybody. But let Grønland become ours. Bar this city quarter and let us control it the way we wish to do it. ... We do not wish to live together with dirty beasts like you.’" I ask you, what keeps them from trying that here some day?
Fact is, after we are being told "I told you so" we will be in a civil war fighting for our very lives! We wont be able to just tell the bad ones to leave! We will be in a civil war. Same thing happened to Lebanon, the latest victim that trusted MUSLIMS! Read Bridgett Gabriell books and see what its like when Muslims gain a sizable portion of the population! SHE LIVED TO TELL ABOUT! Her view of Muslims is not very favorable after hiding from them in a bomb shelter for over a year!!
It is sad there is not more talk of this issue, but then that is "politically incorrect". No, there are just some who fear what the muslim/islam society can and will do if they don't ultimately get their way. America needs to wake up and say let's start in Michigan where one of the largest groups of muslims live and weed them out. They are doing things there they shouldn't be getting away with. Research it people!

Alright, Becky. Let's tell all Muslims in America to go back to their land. Let us identify the country of origin of each Muslim in America, no matter how long ago their family immigrated into America, and deport each of them to that land/country of origin. Let us also tell all of the Jews of Israel - those who emigrated to Palestine over the past 100+ years and who ultimately (in 1948) displaced the Palestinians who had been living there in order to make more space for themselves - to go back to their country of origin.
And if you think that Palestine/Israel is rightfully the Jewish people's biblical / ancestral land, then I agree with that too. America is the Native Americans' Ancestral land. Let's send back all of those Europeans, Asians, Middle-Easterns, Africans, Russians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and the rest, back to their countries. Let the Native American people (a.k.a. American Indians) prosper in their own rightful ancestral land.
The fact, Becky, is that this world is one planet, and it belongs to all living beings - human and animal. Borders are artificial. Immigration is a fact of life. Diversity is good. Muslims, Jews, Christians and the others should learn to live together.
The reason why Al-Qaida attacked / assaulted us is because they think the way YOU think, Becky. The problem in this world is not Muslims. The problem in this country is not Muslims. The problem is the likes of Al Qaida, such as you, Becky.
Get real. Immigration is a fact of life. And don't tell me that Muslims are more aggressive than Christians or Jews. The people who killed Jews in Europe (the Nazis) were Christians. The two only nuclear bombs that were ever detonated against civilians were detonated by Americans. Christian Americans, to be more precise. Remember the Inquisition? Christian. Remember Pearl Harbor? Not perpetrated by Muslims, if I know history well. Remember the massacres of Qana in South Lebanon? Perpetrated by Israeli jews! And the massacres of 1948? Ditto! Bosnia and Kosovo? By Christians. The near extermination of all Native Americans? By Christians from Spain, England and Portugal.
Get real, girl! Get real.
the quran nevers says anything about doing violence i read it it says to respect we never think of violence. what you've been told is a lie this article is a lie
@ramez You're full of foolishness and are seriously wrong.
Go back to which country! Muslims migrated to this country just as whites, blacks or any other race migrated to America. Muslims generations are born and raised here just as majority of people migrated here and started their generations. I bet you are not native american but a hate monger do don't think America is your property!
Thank you @NativeAmerican. You said it better than I did.
"Go back to their lands." I was born and raised in the US, this is my country and I am not going anywhere.

Have you taken a course in Islam? are you willing to broaden your thoughts and really learn theology, don't spread hate in this world and to the children. You truly DON'T understand, if you are a true Christian .. WWJD?
Where did you dig up this nonsense from?
Sure IAMAMERICAN. Below is a lesson for us all from one of your IMAMS or ISLAMIC SCHOLARS; Sufi Mohammed, Muslim Cleric
Islam – A Religion
Based on Terrorism
To understand Islam, you have to accept certain facts about this religion. The impact of Islam on the daily life of Muslims is far greater than that found in the Western Culture since the Middle Ages. Muslims advance a definition that Islam is a shinning beacon against the darkness of repression, segregation, intolerance, and racism.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Islam has no fundamental concept of Inalienable Rights as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Islam does not permit the individual to enjoy the freedoms of action and association characteristic of the Democracy that so many Western cultures currently enjoy today. Islam is a religion in name only because of a reference to "Allah" as their Deity. A well known fact is that Islam is a totalitarian ideology that rejects Democracy, personal freedom, and every other religion. The ideals of anti-Semitism and anti-Western Culture run rampant throughout Islam. The Laws of Man are meaningless and have absolutely no relevance in Muslim culture because they are without any direct reference to the Koran or Shariah Law and therefore they have no place in Muslim life. Islamic law is completely incompatible with Freedom, Democracy, or any other government where the people have an actual voice in government or the will of the people matters.
"True Islam permits neither elections nor democracy."
- Sufi Mohammed, Muslim Cleric
The sad fact about ISLAM is every human born into a Muslim family is DOOMED to be brainwashed from birth and knows nothing other than ISLAM and therefore is FORCED to become a soldier of ALLAH from birth. Thats what makes ISLAM so dangerous and this is also how you get 1.4 BILLION of them to believe in such a HORRIBLE CULT. Its called BRAINWASHING. Like H itler said, give me your youth and Ill transform this nation in 10 years! AND HE DID! Into WWII!
You Jenn and people like you are the reason that America is dying. You say "100% truth" and then you lie. You're a liar. Your the one spreading the hate. Now go back to those that taught you the hatred and ask them, if your saviour is against Islam then why does it say, in YOUR holy book, no less than 18 times, words to the effect: Jesus fell on his face and prayed, Jesus prostrated himself and prayed, Jesus put his face to the floor and prayed etc etc. Nowhere does it say Jesus went to the church on Sunday and sang happy clappy songs. Jesus prayed like Muslims do.
lol Finch. You reasoning is weak at best, but continue on as you will focusing on the wrong point in all of this.
