The Blaze Reaches
The right wing continues to be in OMGWTFPWN mode against Occupy Wall Street. Pulling every bit of negative media it can and highlighting the hell out of it. From the homeless taking advantage of free food (OWS is communist), highlighting one douche bag’s anti-Semitic remarks (The right never says anything bad about Jews), and pointing out relentlessly that the kids protesting have sex and smoke pot (I’m sure no Republican kid would ever do that *cough* Bush’s kids and Bush II *cough*).
Today’s freak-out? There are Muslims, you heard me, MUSLIMS protesting at OWS. Worst of all the MULSIMS are PRAYING to their god who in no way (even though Mohammed (the blessed, the artistic, the bear-suit wearing) did all he could to link his sun god to the Jewish/Christian war god) is ANYTHING like your god…
Never mind that American Muslims are the world’s most secular and non-violent, THEY ARE MUSLIMS!!!!111one!!!!
Never mind that all faiths and lack there-of are represented at OWS. THERE ARE FUCKING MULSIMS THERE! THE SKY IS FALLING!
Thanks Blaze, now I have to go punch a kitten to feel better now. But according to you guys, the kitten is probably Muslim too. Yeesh.

I don’t know if they don’t think or just ignore that there is a significant self-selection process for those Muslims here in the US. The ones who come here tend to be those who don’t have any issues with living in a secular society.
My son goes to a private school here in Virginia that was founded by an Egyptian (interesting fact – she was invited back to Egypt last summer in order to help establish guidlines for early childhood education for the new government) and I would say that about half the teachers are Muslim. Somehow, in the 2 1/2 years he’s been there, they have completely failed to indoctrinate him into wanting to kill the infidels. I’m not sure what we’re doing wrong…

This is a message that the atheist/secular/freethinking community could hear a lot more of. There are plenty of reasons to be nervous about radical Islam, and even Islam in general (just as there are plenty of reasons to be nervous about Christianity in general, of course), but the data shows American Muslims tend to be pretty damn innocuous. Sure, we don’t really want anyone even nominally proclaiming to follow the teachings in nasty books like the Torah or the Bible or the Quran… but just as, say, Quakers tend to be a pretty low priority when compared to Southern Baptists, American Muslims are a pretty low priority in terms of resisting their beliefs.

My husband and i have been quite joyous that Peter managed to finish up his analysis via the precious recommendations he made using your blog. It is now and again perplexing just to continually be giving out solutions that many others could have been selling. And we fully understand we have you to give thanks to because of that. The specific explanations you have made, the straightforward site navigation, the friendships your site aid to promote – it’s mostly impressive, and it is helping our son in addition to our family consider that this content is exciting, and that is seriously important. Thank you for the whole lot!
