The cause of racism is often fear of the unknown - lack of knowledge about other cultures. Travel, explore and learn - open your mind.
I love this!
Arabs in Films
So Hollywood is allowed and praised to make a film about killing and degrading Arabs (Zero Dark Thirty) but we never see films which degrade any other race to such a level. Let’s see a movie which prides itself in a violent plot of killing Christians, Jews, Hindus, Atheists etc. That will rarely if at all will happen and if it did I am sure the entire nation will be against it. But for some reasons it is perfectly fine to depict killing of Muslims / Arabs in films. Pathetic… (opinions?)
Sears: Get Your “Sexy Middle Eastern Arab Girl Burka-Halloween Costume”
In a twist to the Islamophobes’ “Halloween Jihad” theme, this year Sears was hawking a “fetishized Islamic ‘Arab girl’ burka-wearing ‘temptress’” costume for Halloween. Clearly, someone in Sears’ sales department thought selling such an “ethnic” costume was a good idea, there is a demand out there for “funny-Ay-rab-Mooslimy-savages” costumes and being the good Capitalists they are Sears wanted to corner that market.
At the time of the capture of the screenshot Sears either sold out or yanked the “product” from its line of Halloween costumes. It can still be found for sale on other sites like Buy.com.
According to tipster Sulayman F. a “student on Tumblr noticed it when doing a school project and searching google for images of Burkas.”
Sulayman went on to comment that, “This isn’t necessarily racist, but extremely degrading to the culture when the whole point of the burka is to preserve the modesty of the religious (from what I understand). And to add insult to injury, the description reads ‘Sexy In the Desert’.”
I concur that it is pretty degrading, and another ludicrous example of Halloween gone strangely awry. For some reason it is the one day of the year when people think they can dress up in whatever costume, Native American, Black face, “Arab girl” etc. and think they have a free pass from scrutiny and criticism. The reply goes something like, “get a sense of humor!”
What these people don’t realize is that this is not a costume for the people who actually wear “Niqabs” or “Burkas.”

Islamophobic Politicans: Do Not Vote or Support Them!
To all Muslims and open-minded people able to Vote in the United States: Be sure to not vote for those who publicly attack Islam! Even if you don’t normally vote, at least vote for an opposing party which does not attack Islam and has ideal views on politics so that these ignorant and hateful politicians do not win!
Many of them speak about Shariah Law like they know about it. I don’t know a single Muslim who wanted Shariah Law in the United States. Why would we want Islamic Law in a country where Muslims aren’t the majority? We are happy with our Shariah Law back in the Middle East and Islamic countries, and here in the U.S.A. we are happy with our Constitution which allows us freedom of religion and yet Islam is widely attacked by the politicians themselves. Here are 13 politicians who attack Islam, though their are dozens and dozens more.
Avoid These Politicians Who Attack Islam:
1. Gabriela Mercer (Arizona):
“That includes Chinese, Middle Easterners,” she said. “If you know Middle Easterners, a lot of them, they look Mexican or they look, you know, like a lot of people in South America, dark skin, dark hair, brown eyes. And they mix. They mix in.
“And those people, their only goal in life is to, to cause harm to the United States. So why do we want them here, either legally or illegally? When they come across the border, besides the trash that they leave behind, the drug smuggling, the killings, the beheadings. I mean, you are seeing stuff. It’s a war out there.”
2. Herman Cain:
“This is just another way to try to gradually sneak Sharia law into our laws, and I absolutely object to that” and also said he would not allow a Muslim to work in his cabinet because of “creeping Shariah law.”
3. Newt Gingrich:
“…But in fact they’re both engaged in jihad, and they’re both seeking to impose the same end state, which is to replace Western civilization with a radical imposition of Shariah.”
4. Michele Bachmann (Minnesota Rep.):
“It is my duty as a member of Congress to ask why the Obama administration has repeatedly undermined America’s national security and bows to political correctness on issues related to radical Islam.”
5. Eric Cantor (Virginia Rep.):
Supports Michele Bachmann’s Muslim witch hunt.
6. John R. Bolton:
Also supports Michele Bachmann’s Muslim witch hunt.
7. Trent Franks (Arizona Rep.):
Also supports Michele Bachmann’s Muslim witch hunt.
8. Louie Gohmert (Texas Rep.):
Also supports Michele Bachmann’s Muslim witch hunt.
9. Thomas Rooney (Florida Rep.):
Also supports Michele Bachmann’s Muslim witch hunt.
10. Lynn Westmoreland (Georgia Rep.):
Also supports Michele Bachmann’s Muslim witch hunt.
11. Joe Walsh (Illinois Rep.):
“One thing I’m sure of is that there are people in this country – there is a radical strain of Islam in this country – it’s not just over there – trying to kill Americans every week. It is a real threat, and it is a threat that is much more at home now than it was after 9/11,”
AND:
“If we want peace in the Middle East, we have to publicly choose a side and defend that side. We have to stand with Israel. We must be their advisor and protector. We must make clear that there will be no talks and no negotiations until the other side acknowledges Israel’s right to exist, stops spewing anti-Israel hatred among its youth, and stops any and all terrorist activity. If the Palestinians take these steps, we can begin negotiations. If they don’t, the Palestinians will face the combined wrath of Israel and the United States. That can be the only basis for lasting peace. The other side will only give up its vow to destroy Israel and commit to lasting peace if they understand and fear our strength.
As a freshman Congressman, I am pro-Israel first and pro-peace second. True peace in the Middle East will only come when that is our nation’s stated policy and not the other way around. Most U.S. presidents have followed the old paradigm and tried to be an honest broker between the two sides. President Obama seems only to pay lip service to even that role, and clearly his sympathies lie with the Palestinians. He is not capable of achieving peace in the Middle East because he is not pro-Israel.”
12. Rick Santorum:
“I get a kick out of folks who call for equality now, the people on the left, ‘Well, equality, we want equality.’ Where do you think this concept of equality comes from?” Santorum asked the enthusiastic crowd packed into a restaurant here. “It doesn’t come from Islam. It doesn’t come from the East and Eastern religions, where does it come from? It comes from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that’s where it comes from.”
13. Peter T. King (New York Rep.):
… “This coordinated and ongoing recruitment and radicalization of young Muslim men in the U.S. is a serious and growing threat to our homeland security and simply cannot be ignored.”
HATE GRAFFITI AT MUSLIM CEMETERY IN EVERGREEN PARK, CHICAGO

Evergreen Cemetery is home to at least 500 Muslim graves. Cemetery officials and the police have been notified. The cemetery is located at 3401 West 87th Street, Evergreen Park, IL 60805.
“RAGHEAD KILLER” “FUCK U RAGHEAD”
This country is out of control. More than ever.
If they think they have done much to believers who have passed away… why don’t they reflect on what will happen to them when they pass away? Plus their spelling is horrible…
