39. Someone else is tracking these Anti-Islamic trends? That kind of Compassion is rare these days.

Thanks Napkinz. Have to say I'm somewhat overcome by the sheer volume of our projectile "vomiting" of hate speech since 9-11 here in the USA.

Short excerpt from the 1st post:

What else is NOT being covered in our national media?

Our Federal agencies can easily track this trend, have been documenting it for more than a decade.

Right wing media is intentionally rationalizing the Anti-Muslim rhetoric we’ve become familiar with over the last 1.5 decades since 9-11, while concurrently contributing to and encouraging the “defamation” of our national/international Islamic community.

While not a Muslim/Islamic, I'd have to be blind to not see these National trends. I'm a proud agnostic and abhor Fundamentalists on both sides of this divide, looks like the Christian coalition of them are beating the drums of war yet again.

Thanks.
