Pregnant US Muslim Woman Racially Harassed

WASHINGTON, August 10, 2005 (IslamOnline.net) – A leading US Muslim civil liberties group called on US security agencies to investigate an assault against a pregnant Muslim woman by a group of men shouting anti-Muslim slogans.

As the Muslim woman continued walking down the street, one of the men, who was wearing military-style clothing, jumped out of the truck, walking in front of her and pushed her around before getting back into the truck.

1. Just sent that article to the idiot that sent me an anti-Muslim "joke"

I also suggested he find the woman's address and apologize to her.

10. "... anti-Muslim "joke"

Once, while lurking in Freekerville (guilty), I found a thread about a Mulsim woman whose kids were being harassed in school.

When taken to task by fellow posters for their anti-Mulsim sentiment, they switched their angle, accussing her of being "one of those black Muslims", as if her motive were to extort money from the school district because she was black.

Simple logic and comon sense escapes them. :eyes:

2. Sad. Very sad. Soldier may have PTSD. Still - no excuse for that.

3. Most likely just a play soldier in camo...

no accounting for taste there.

5. The last thing

Most soldiers want to do on their time off is put on camo uniforms and drive around pretending to be macho. That sort of behavior tends to come from wanna-be soldiers or militia type people.
