It was supposed to be another normal Sunday at the park for Rasheed Albeshari and his friends, until they were attacked by a local woman because of their Islamic faith....

But around 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 6, they were attacked by a woman who appeared disgruntled after she witnessed Albeshari’s pals praying on grass.

Albeshari was waiting in the car for his three friends to finish their prayers when he seen a woman confront them. She had been walking on the sidewalk and appeared ruffled that the Muslim men were praying in the park.

“She was saying ‘Allah is Satan and you are all murderers,’ Albeshari recalled.

Gosh, I love the liberal Bay Area!

2. The hate for Muslims in this country needs to stop.

I know so many people who are getting caught up in the hateful rhetoric, I'm worried how far it is going to take us.

5. People who act like that are scared to death.

The media has people scared out of their minds. And scared people are dangerous people.

8. That park is in Oakland. Liberal, progressive Oakland.

[Eleanors38]

11. Yeah, the usual meme round here is it has to be FL or TX.

Nah. It's just us.

9. The Bay Area is not as liberal as it used to be

I used to see Born Again Christians down at the cable car turn around at Market and Powell streets with giants signs about how San Francisco was "sin city" (And, here I thought that was Las Vegas) and screaming at tourists waiting in line to go on a cable car ride to Fisherman's wharf. Its gotten worse over the years, and now they are at Fisherman's Wharf, and in all the tourist spots, along with entertainers, and stand up comedians, trying to make their start. I had heard that in recent years, a few were inspired to move to the city just so they could be disruptive of the tourist areas.. and many just ignore them. The city's politics are still pretty liberal, but many new comers, who have come to the City to live here, have changed the tone quite a bit lately.

There was even a Trump supporter in China town, screaming about how Trump would send them all back to CHINA, as soon as he was elected... pfff, like as if that is gonna happen.

12. In Austin, I brought up these incidents of sport bigotry, and the 3rd respone in a day is:

"I try not to pay attention to politics."

Almost word-for-word. Boy, that says a lot.

15. If she really thought they were terrorists, or at least murderers...

... isn't she pretty stupid for hitting them with her umbrella and throwing coffee on them? I mean, I generally try to avoid people I genuinely suspect are dangerous.



I think she feels self important and wanted to make a scene just to tell her Facebook friends that she was helping make America Hate Again.

A state corrections department employee is being investigated for a possible hate crime after she was captured on video aggressively confronting two Muslim men who were praying in a Castro Valley park over the weekend, officials said Wednesday....

Slader works as a program technician in the parole division for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, agency spokesman Luis Patino said in a statement Wednesday. She has been with the department for 10 years and her status as an employee has not changed following the weekend run-in, he said. ...

A man who answered the phone at Slader’s Castro Valley home on Wednesday morning, said she was not available to speak.

“Oh well, deal with it!” he said about the woman’s comments and actions in the park encounter. “Have you been watching the news lately? Do you know whats going on? Don’t you have better things to do?”
