Reply #36: Don't forget to look for the ruses

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

like people saying Obama is a Muslim or closet Muslim. For many, I think it is merely a smokescreen for racism, because if you ask the folks that make these claims, they will tell you that all Muslims in this country are black or brown skinned-the blacks from here, the brown skinned from overseas, and that they should all be shipped out.

It is very sad that there is a lot of prejudice against Islam in this country. We are accused of being terrorists--and yet it is "good Americans" who firebomb mosques and destroy Muslim property. I still recall when a brick was thrown through the window of my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in Arlington TX. Attached to the brick was note that said, "Get Out, Sand N-----rs".
