This Isn’t About Hate.

Brianne Bilyeu, , , , ,

Two weeks ago a Muslim American organization held a fundraiser in California for women’s shelters, homelessness relief and hunger relief. They were protested by a group of Americans waving flags and yelling through bullhorns. But don’t worry – as one protester clarified, “This is not about hate. We are not hate-mongers.”

Observe the language of…not-hate:

“Mohammad was a child molester. Mohammad was a pervert. Mohammad was a fraud. Mohammad was a false prophet.”

“…I know quite a few [U.S.] Marines who would be very happy to help these terrorists to an early…uh…meeting in paradise.” – Deborah Pauly (Rep.), Villa Park Councilwoman

“You’re a stupid terrorist. Go home! Go home! Go home! No Sharia! Do you beat up your wife, too? Are you a molester? You are, aren’t you? ‘Cuz you just sit there and you’re a coward. You beat your women. Why don’t you go beat up your wife, like you do every night? And then go and have sex with a nine year old and marry her.”

“One nation under God, not Allah! Get out of here! Never forget 9/11!”

“Go home – we don’t want your Sharia law! No Sharia law – US Constitution!”

“Take your Sharia and go home!

“You’re terrorist lovers! Your hands are bloody!

“You’re not welcome here – go home!”

“Terrorists!”

“Traitors!”

“A big part of the problem we face today is that our children have been taught in schools that every idea is right, that no one should criticize others’ positions, no matter how odious, that’s…and, and what do we call that? They call that ‘multiculturalism’, and it has paralyzed too many of our fellow citizens to make the critical judgement we need to prosper as a society.” – Congressman Ed Royce (Rep.)

Protip #1: Muslim does not equal terrorist.

Protip #2: When an elected official says “I don’t even care if you think I’m crazy any more.” as Deborah Pauly did, that’s when it’s time to vote for the other candidate. You know, the one who you don’t think is crazy.

I’m at a loss. How do we address this kind of hatred and ignorance in a productive manner? These are Americans who are screaming and jeering at other Americans based solely on the color of their skin and the clothes they are wearing. These are American who really think that Islam is a religion of hate, that all Muslims are terrorists, that you can’t be Muslim and a “real American”. How do we deal with that?

Wait – I know! Have a Muslim American organization get together to hold a fundraiser to support women’s shelters and alleviate homlessness and hunger in their community!

Nah…that would never work.

    I think the most productive thing to do would be to show up at the rally in a long, white robe. Then, once there, put on your tall, white, pointy hat and hold your sign up high.

    While I have my own issues with Islam, this was hard to watch. Especially when I saw the kids coming in. No child should ever have to experience that kind of hatred, and no right thinking American would put another through that. It should come as no shock, given our history, but it always does. Thanks for posting this.

    Правильное бурение скважин на водуБурение скважин на воду — довольно сложный процесс, он может производиться различными способами. Но основные этапы бурения одинаковы. Так, в первую очередь, бурильная установка, оборудованная определенным типом бура, разрушает породу, затем происходит изъятие раздробленных фракций, и на завершающем этапе стенки скважины укрепляются обсадными трубами.Применение различных технологий бурения в основном обусловлено структурой грунта и глубиной залегания водоносного слоя. На сегодняшний день бурильщики используют следующие методы:
    роторный способ прохождения;гидробурение с промывкой скважины;
    бурение с применением пневмоударного инструмента;шнековый способ бурения.
    Роторное бурение скважин изначально использовалось при разработке скважин в нефтедобывающей промышленности. Одако этот способ прекрасно зарекомендовал себя и при создании водозаборов. Разрушение породы достигается вращением и одновременным давлением рабочего инструмента, имеющего значительную массу. По завершению прохождения определенного участка, устанавливают обсадную трубу. Дальнейшую работу производят аналогично, но роторным долотом с немного меньшим диаметром. Бурение скважины продолжают до достижения водного горизонта.Наиболее легкий способ создания скважины на воду – гидробурение. В этом случае происходит направленное размытие грунта внутри опускающейся под собственным весом обсадной трубы.Принцип действия пневмоударного инструмента – преобразование энергии сжатого воздуха в кинетическую. Отличительной особенностью такого способа являются две одновременно действующие силы: сила удара и вращательные движения бура.Шнековое бурение, как самый старый и давно известный метод, тем не менее не утратил актуальности и в наши дни. Метод действия прост и понятен. Постепенное внедрение в породу шнека с ножами различной ширины позволяет одновременно углублять скважину и вынимать разрушенные обломки породы, почвы.Бурение скважин на воду в минской области можно производить одним способом или комбинировать различные, в зависимости от структуры грунта.Наша компания «БурАвтоГрупп» использует исключительно роторный метод бурения.Он оптимален для твердых скальных пород, а гидробурение предполагает наличие более мягкой структуры почвы. Шнековое бурение не применяют на заболоченных участках.
    По завершению бурильных работ и установки обсадных труб наши специалисты прокачивают скважину, потому что нужно обязательно дождаться стабильного напора и проверить воду на чистоту и качество.

    DWI charges need most of the prodessional tactics employed in criminal trials. protecting a DUI is initiated by understanding not one of a persons rights on the constitution are violated. When a police officer is in direct contact with you, while they are basically the single witnesses all of the time, their directions and procedural conduct is of the essence. some of us all create mis haps, and police are no exception. It all happens when usual accusation which will lead to obvious cause. An example, you get forced over for driving too slow at 1 am. A police officer has regular suspicion that someone has created a traffic offense, swerving. Now, when the police tries to start visual contact or leans in closer to the auto, they may utter you posess watery eyes, or there is an smell of beer. This elevates the reasonable intuition of speeding to providing the police officer a reason that you may be operating while under the influence. ninety nine% of cops will say odor of alcohol, red eye balls, or slurred speech. The cop may also say you are fumbling about getting your id and registration in your hand. Now someone will be likely informed to step out of a car and perform regular physical sobriety checks. Those are SFST’s are taught under NHTSA (National road Traffic Safety Administration) regulations and need to be followed per instruction. when you do perform the tests, the cop can make mistakes that will make the test, or tests excluded from evidence. Things such as physical impairments and the best situational conditions should be factored amoung the results of your test. (example: you can’t perform a hop and a skip and pivot check on uneven stret). Someone will also take a analkyzation of the breath tests. There are accidents in these gadgets as well, after all they are technolgo that need to be maintained and training on for days. The arrest is captured at the time the law enforcement activates their lights. It is through this taped footage that we are able to base an experienced opinion on the police administration of the tests, to the accused performance taking the tests.
