A dictionary definition of “Bias” – a : Bent, tendency b : an inclination of temperament or outlook.
I’ve written a couple of times about a Muslim mosque in Boonton New Jersey (”Boonton Mosque Terrorized With American Flag” & “New Jersey Muslims Won’t Let The ‘American Flag Attack’ Die“) that made national headlines when members found that an American flag had been nailed over the front door under cover of darkness. It was a mean and cowardly thing to do and whatever message the perpetrators had in mind is anyone’s guess. But the act endangered no one and the over-reaction by members of the mosque requesting a police investigation for hate crimes only increased resentment. Here is a comment we received today from a member of that mosque:
Shawn -
“Let me put it this way. Bias is Bias, be it against a Black, a Muslim or a Jew.I’m Muslim by faith and live near the Boonton area where I’ve been going to that Center for the past 5 years now. The administration is extremely aware of their “Muslimness†and have preached nothing but peace and kindness towards non-muslims.
Tom has used an isolated organization like CAIR to represent the whole of Islam, which is typical human attitude. You only pick at scabs if you want to see the blood beneath them. There have been tons of other Muslim organizations that have preached love, companionship, have denounced the fall of the Twin Towers, the Madrid bombings; they never seem to get the credit. Why? Because 12 people laughing at someone’s misery in newsworthy but 12 organizations denouncing an act of terrorism is not.
Twelve individuals celebrating in Paterson do not represent the Muslims of the US who are afraid in their houses and at their jobs of the possible backlash they might face.
Do you want me to cite the KU KLUX KLAN that is far more than Twelve Individuals or other massive organizations that have hurt Christian American pride by being Christian Americans doing un-Christian things? Tim McVeigh, Ted ‘UnaBomber’ Kaczynski, et al.?
That argument is a huge waste of time. Like I said before, Bias is Bias and Hatred is Hatred. What happened at the Mosque was a ‘Hate Crime’ which can be compared to someone putting a Swastika on a Jewish Synagogue. PLEASE… Don’t go on to state that I’m equating the American Flag to the Swastika, I’m not. However, the intention of the one who put it on the Doors of the Mosque was something to that note.
I was honored when one of my American friends, Scott G., came over to my house a few days after 9/11 and gave me a small American Flag to stick in my car window. His words were, “I know you and what you stand for, but most others might not, this might be one way where they don’t say or do something bad to youâ€Â.
My friend, Scott G. is a great American, who made me feel welcome in his house and taught me how to fit in without insulting my intelligence of hurting my feelings.
Tom, can I say the same for you?”

Unfortunately for you and other Muslims in America who profess to be peace-loving, your fellow Muslims who have commited despicable acts of violence on American soil and who continue to preach hatred towards America are the problem. Just today, for example, a recording of Abu Ayyub al-Masri is on the internet today in which he says, “I swear by God we shall not rest from jihad until we…blow up the filthiest house known as the White House.”
If you are sincere, you need to recognize that you do not have the luxury of washing your hands of responsibility for what others have done and continue to do. Most Americans recognize that we are in a protracted battle against that portion of the Muslim world that calls for jihad against the west. And groups like CAIR, who are well funded and purport to speak for all Muslim-Americans, do speak for you unless you do something about it. As you must know, CAIR condemned the attacks of 9/11 publicly but privately, their stated goal is to one day see America become an Islamic state.
If you want your protests of innocence to be credible, you and other like-minded Muslims are going to have to actively work to identify and expose those Muslims who, like CAIR, publicly denounce terrorism but privately aid the jihadists. You mention the “tons of other Muslim organizations that preach love” but you don’t say who they are. The onus is on you to take action and show America that you are part of the solution, not part of the problem. The Islamization of America is the antithesis of the American ideal.
He won’t give you names of any organizations because if they come under scrutiny, people will find links to terrorist organizations.
The member of the mosque should understand that for the last two centuries, when people have immigrated to America they have assimilated. By that I mean that they have embraced the Western culture in everry way possible, not placed signs up in their native language. The flag incident begets the question of “where was your flag to start with?”.
I am hard pressed, given looking at the countries where my ancestor hailed from in Europe and the cesspoll that has become of them due to immigtarion and the refusal to assimilate, that anything different will happen here.
We just had a change in the Senate. Yet no one is covering why. CAIR told its 60,000 registered muslim voters in VA to vote for the democrats. Given the demonstrations and their numbers, I’d wager that 90 percent of more voted, giving the seat to the democrat. Would I be allowed to set up The Christian Political Action Commitee and fund all the republicans and tell my participants to vote for the republicans because the democrats are against Christianity with their stance on abortion? I doubt it very much.
So if you want what you see as “hatred” to be stopped, then you need to forbid the wearing or burkas and ACTIVELY denounce the destruction of Israel and Jihad against Christians and Jews. Till that point, I see the muslim community as being a long-term danger to America’s survival? Care to debate me on that? Be forewarned that I have nothing but history on my side to prove it, while you have only promises that have never come to bear. We watch you with a cautious eye for good reason.

Don’t expect Democrats to even address this issue, Mike. You could say that this is an “inconvenient truth” they don’t want to confront.
They don’t have the balls to deal with the Muslim threat…that’s why they prefer to appease them.
Largo, you are a racist. But that doesn’t mean there is not a problem of assimilation. Funny though, no one makes the Amish assimilate, and they are not a threat. I personally have met many courteous and respectful Muslim businessmen. I treat them just as I would any other. Maybe Largo doesn’t get out much.
I’m a racist? This coming from someone who supports a group of people who want to wipe out anyone who doesn’t their liberal line of thought.
And I do get out. Come to the Seattle/Bainbridge Island area, and you can see what I’m talking about.
Oh…and CAIR wants your credit card number, you’re past due on your donation and the Muslims need money for their next attack.
