Christian Science Monitor: Atlanta – In the days after the Ft. Hood shooting, mosques around the country bolstered their security in anticipation of a backlash from Americans angry about a Muslim man alleged to have killed American soldiers on their own turf.
Since then, only one alleged hate crime against Muslims has been directly tied to the Fort Hood rampage.
Two days after the rampage by an alleged lone wolf jihadist killed 13 in Texas, a Tinley Park, Ill., woman grumbled about the massacre and tugged the headscarf of a US-born Muslim woman, Amal Abusumayah, standing in line at a local grocery store.
Reaction was swift and, as prosecutors announced this week, serious: The alleged scarf-puller, Valerie Kenney, is charged with a hate crime, and she could face three years in prison and a $25,000 fine if convicted.
Why is there no mention of “hate crime” when a Muslim shouts Allah Akbar and kills Americans or an Imam stands in a mosque and incites his congregation to hate anyone who is not Muslim?
Sura 9 –Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
The apologists can Kiss My Ass.
