Dispatch from the religion of Peace: Disproportionate Response

Talk about disproportionate response, in Seattle yesterday at a Jewish Organization that was holding a Pro-Israel rally a man opened fire wounding five and killing one.

Now was this a neo-Nazi skinhead or some other fringe group?

Nope it was an angry Muslim, as a matter of fact, those were close to his own words via Reuters:


"Police would not disclose the content of the conversation, but Amy Wasser-Simpson, the federation's vice president, told the Seattle Times in a story on its Web site the man got past security at the building and shouted, "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel," before he began shooting."


Now the police are describing this with that most ridiculously redundant of terms "hate crime," but I won't get into that bit of semantics beyond the fact that this is not mere hate. We have been in the midst of a clash of civilizations that began with the Israeli War of Independence in 1948 and has nipped at the boundaries of the USA throughout the years until it erupted with full force on September 11, 2001.

And this hasn't been the only incident of a peaceful rally turned violent.

When will the activist Muslims learn violence will not help their cause, especially not in this country?
