Much of what you posted sounds reasonable, but this statement doesn't make sense to me.
"I would however like to know how many people at that Mosque are now more likely to be radicalized because of the intimidation efforts of this crowd."
Isn't this the same kind of thinking liberals are always bemoaning happens because we fight radicalized jihadis?
This has to be avoided at any cost. Confrontation is the worst that can happen. The whole community needs the Muslims community to be on their side. For all haters and doubters, do you know who would the first to tip FBI of any suspected terrorist?
I have to agree with Right2Carry . They could be afraid of their own in a sense , they could think they are caught in the middle between us (born Americans) or the demonic others that claim the same allegiance to the same name of personal thought . Just hunkered down and hoping it will go away , It will not go away , thats not likely to happen . They need to commit . During WW 2 the Japanese were rounded up and placed in 'camps' . The men among them pleaded to fight the common enemy to prove their patriotism and devotion to America , the United states . They were at last permitted to and the American Japanese were awarded more medals and credit than most company's in the field , they gave their all to prove their allegiance . Just an example , don' t see that happening now , if they are non violent they are just cowering to see witch way the wind blows . No commitment , they are not us .
On the same page as the article on Mayor Rawlings is the above political cartoon below.
Comparing a lot of things to the WWII Japanese American internment camps is getting old and worn out. Like we should be ashamed of the internment camps.
Had the U.S. not had the Japanese Americans in these camps, what do you think would have happened to them when word of the Bataan death march and other Japanese atrocities reached the American Public?
Forcing Japanese Americans to forfeit their property was wrong, but having them in the camps helped the U.S. keep an eye on them and probably saved a lot of Japanese American lives.
I refuse to feel guilty for something I had absolutely nothing to do with.
