Protests Sow Seeds of Hatred
In February, a group in Yorba Linda, California organized a fundraising event to address homelessness and domestic violence in the city. It was like every other fundraising event for these purposes, down to the chicken dinner, except that it was organized by Muslims. People showed up in droves to protest. They carried signs that said, The Devil is Islam and waved
American flags and shouted, Get out of here! Terrorists! and You beat your women and you rape your children! Protesters screamed Go home! prompting one American Muslim to ask, Where am I supposed to go? I was born here. Women in scarves ran a gauntlet of hatred. One elected official said to the press, I know quite a few Marines who would be very happy to
help these terrorists to an early meeting in Paradise.
Representative Peter King is convening a Congressional hearing to investigate the loyalty and radicalization of American Muslims. This visible forum and high public office is being used to implicate an entire class of people, separated by religion, in terronsrn. It feeds anti-Muslim sentiment.
This is a fault line. A man-made, intentional fault line that seeks to divide Muslims from the rest of humanity. The protest line in Yorba Linda was the same. A fault line intended to blame and sow seeds of hatred.
