Virginia Mosque Meeting Gets Ugly: ‘Every One of You Are Terrorists!’

Source: Mediaite

A presentation on plans for a new mosque near Fredericksburg, VA ended with a volley of racist rants made by members of the public.

According to WUSA 9, speaker Samer Shalaby was presenting plans for a new mosque the local Muslim community intended to build on property it already owned. The current Islamic Center is too small, as the community has grown steadily in recent years.

That’s when two men in attendance at the public meeting shouted down Shalaby with claims that all Muslims were “evil” and “terrorists.” The speaker said he didn’t expect such hostility.

<...>

The first man to make a scene called what Shalaby and local Muslims were doing “evil,” which attracted some positive attention from the crowd. That’s when the second man came forward.


“I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that does not happen. We don’t want it because you are terrorists. Every one of you are terrorists. I don’t care what you say,” he said. “You can smile at me. You can say whatever you want, but every Muslim is a terrorist.”

I'm not a big fan of the OP poster, but this issue goes beyond the DU primary war.

This is an issue that is destroying our country and the First Amendment.

Are we so afraid of anything perceived as different from own unique bubble that we abandon all reason?

Change seems so far away that it all seems so hopeless sometimes.

.... that is exactly what was thought, in addition to other Catholic bigotry (bigotry against all non-protestants/ baptists) .. of course not every individual felt that way, but it certainly was a prevailing attitude
