The scary side of the Mosque debate

Hello, blog we’re going to try a new format tonight. Please give feedback on whether you enjoy it or not or how it can improve. I've been doing one entry a night for about a month now. I'm sick of it. I tried to use Twitter to report other topics, but to express my views in one hundred forty characters or less seemed like a waste of time. So instead I will be making multiple blog posts everyday covering the topics that matter to me and giving my opinion on them.


Let's get this started.

Just as we all thought would happen, the fall out of the Mosque, whether it was moved or not. We now are seeing hate crimes blossom out, one right in New York. Michael Enright, he was a volunteer college student who worked in Afghanistan. Tonight he’s the man behind a gruesome hate crime. After taking a cab in New York, Mr. Enright cut a Muslim cab driver (Ahmed Sharif) several times from the neck to the hands. This all happened after Sharif admitted he was Muslim.



Once again we are seeing hate crimes from a scapegoat, it never fails and why is this coming off as some kind of shocker? You and I both know every time there are protests against a certain race or religion some nutjob has to go ballistic and attack an innocent man.

This is quite the contradiction since these anti-mosque protestors want to deny the possibility that the group of Muslims who attacked the twin towers might have a different mentality that other Muslims. They’re all the same, right? So is it NOW fair for me to say Enright is like all Mosque protestors? Violent, Islamic-phobic, and bigoted? This is no "rare" case anymore either. Yesterday we saw a bigot say that the Mosque next to his flower shop should be moved because they are parking in the wrong designated spots. That "Baptists" would never do this to his place of business. Right, you know I used to go to church and I used to live next to a protestant church Religion knows no parking respects good sir. They WILL park ANYWHERE. It doesn't matter.

Also don’t forget the hot recent video about a black man standing in the anti-mosque crowd and almost being attacked just because he looked the bill.
