British Elections and Muslims [update][4x]
I just saw this piece over at TPM. I don’t know enough about “Gorgeous George” to make a detailed comment yet. However, at least superficially, the argument makes sense. There is a potential for anti-Muslim backlash. [update]: More from the Exiled Afrikan. [update 2]: ThaBit weighs in, as does Crooked Timber. Follow the trackback as well. [update 3]: Apparently the stupidity regarding Muslims has begun. [update 4]: Galloway is now officially included in the oil-for-food debacle. Muslims as a fifth-column rhetoric should begin soon.

Tell #NYC Mayor Bloomberg he Rocks
Mayor Bloomberg has strongly supported the the Islamic Center being planned near Ground Zero and has also strongly criticized those who have used anti-Islamic rhetoric and justifications for opposing the proposed center. See here for an article re his support: http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/08/03/mayor_bloomberg_on_mosque. I think that this is an important step from the Mayor, who has not always taken sympathetic positions vis a vis his Muslim constituents. He is certainly receiving a lot of criticism and negative feedback for taking this step.

Thanks for posting that, bro. I can’t agree more, too. I had a very good friend who was a Pakistani Christian in the town I grew up in, and I remember him telling me some of the horrors he and his family had to live through just for being Christian. If we Muslims in thw West find it so easy to bemoan the religious intolerance we face in non-Muslim countries, then this also necessitates that we condemn just as strongly the same treatment by those who share our religion. 4 sure, 4 sure.
Thanks again, I’ll pass this one along.

Bro, thanks for the heads-up on the article. I am sure there are a lot of other Muslims who feel the same way too. Islam is simple. I am just amazed at how some Muslims feel that it is okay to harm others in the name of Islam when Islam has nothing to do with their callous acts.
I will also pass the article along.
