US Muslims Face Prejudice at Home While Resisting Terrorist Recruiters

[CopyBoy]

Muslim activists in the United States say they are caught up in two simultaneous battles: fighting the Islamic State group and other extremists in their efforts to recruit Americans as terrorists, while also struggling against Islamophobia — prejudice and discrimination aimed at Muslims — in the United States.

Highly charged politics in this U.S. presidential election year and the intensity of radical Islamists have forced Muslim community leaders to reorganize themselves to try to counter these sentiments.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported that there were 75 attacks on mosques in the United States last year, the highest number ever recorded. The council said property damage and physical intimidation were involved in roughly equal amounts in those hate crimes.

The brown shirt supporters of a certain presidential candidate are creating a monster in this country that will not be easy to restrain. Hitler took advantage of fear, so did Stalin. If we allow this kind of hate to continue in this country, our fate will be no different. War and hate feed on fear and bigotry. We are being played like a violin, and we need to wake up before its too late.

I wouldn’t use CAIR as a source. They are notoriously dishonest
