Just kidding. They’re upset with Donald Trump (supposedly)
Area Muslims turn to social media to combat Trump’s rhetoric
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s call for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” has been roundly criticized as bigoted, unconstitutional and potentially dangerous for American interests abroad, but some local Muslims say such pronouncements only stoke anger and fear.
So, two Muslim women have turned to social media with the hope of tempering the heated discourse with words of understanding.
“It’s not just one man saying things and nobody agrees with him. He’s got like a very large following,” said Hoda Abrahim, a Cary native and student at North Carolina Central University.
“Donald Trump is an entertainer, and I think, at this point, he’s kind of made America into his own reality show, starring uneducated Americans,” said Zainab Baloch, a Raleigh native and a North Carolina State University graduate.
Nothing works better to bring people to your way of thinking than insulting them.
The pair recently posted a video on Facebook to combat Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric. The three-minute video features a series of young adults holding up slates with the hashtag #IWanttoLiveinaWorld and statements such as “… where I’m judged by what’s in my head, not what’s on it” and “… where we silence ignorance by amplifying understanding.”
“What we want to do is just put ourselves out there so that people can get a chance to know us instead of going by the assumptions that they’re hearing on the news about what Muslims are like,” Abrahim said.
The video itself is a smattering of different things, including #BlackLivesMatter. Interestingly, this was posted the day after the San Bernardino terrorist attack. Which would also make the day of the posting to be the 3rd of December. Trump didn’t make his comments till the…..7th. Where the women psychic?
Nice of the reporter, Bryan Mims, to put in the hard and diligent work to notice. Or, was he just trying to create a Narrative? I’ve sent him an email asking why he created this narrative which is factually incorrect.
The women said they are tired of trying to apologize for the actions of ISIS and acts of terror carried out by Islamic radicals.
“That’s almost like we’re accepting responsibility and saying, ‘On behalf of Muslims, we’re sorry.’ As Muslims, we don’t claim those acts at all,” Abrahim said.
They don’t have to apologize for the hardcore Islamists who are simply acting on what Mohammad, the founder of Islam told Muslims to do and did himself. Do you know what would be nice? Denouncing ISIS and the other hardcores. Why won’t they do that? It’s very interesting that so few Muslims will, in fact, denounce groups like ISIS and others, like the Muslim Brotherhood, who attempt to push US and other 1st world societies towards being hardcore Muslim societies.
Teach I don’t recall you apologizing for either the Charlestown shooting or the Planned Parenthood shooting both of which were done by radical Christians
If abortion is murder was the planned parenthood shooting justified?
Is abortion murder?
The 15000 murdrrs committed each year by primarily Christian killers do you apologize for them ?
The bible actually has many instances where abortion is permitted
Take for instance. When your sex slave might be pregnant.
You can take her to a judge and make her drunk a “bitter liquid” to see if she has sex if she is pregnant it will cause an abortion
aparently the bible even justifies forced abortions
Would you as a Christian apologize for another Christian doing this ?
Numbers 5 :11-31 for those who haven’t actually read the bible
Trump had to
cancel his trip yo Israel even they think he is toxic
And dearth Cheney says Trump has gone around the bend
Ahh but the GOP base ?? They still love to hear what he says
Prevent American citizens who are Muslim from returning to the USA ?? Great idea Mr Trump
We don’t really care if that is unconstitutional or that it will be doing exactly what IDIS wants us to do
Nope. But keep trying to rock that lie.
Perhaps you missed Romans 1:22? It applies to you greatly. And don’t forget Shakespeare’s famous line of “even the Devil can quote scripture.”
The rest of your writing is simply nonsensical babbling. In other words, a typical day from you.
Read the post again, John see what I said about apologizing.
I have to wonder, yet again: what is it that makes you lefties immediately jump to defending the Islamists?
Because, as said before, John likes to side with “the hard right”, as he calls Islamists.
I have to wonder, yet again: what is it that makes you lefties immediately jump to defending the Islamists?
An unnatural attraction to goats?
You nail it again!
I am not siding with the islamists YOU are, you have almost all the same political positions as they do
Religion in government Check
Belief that Jesus is coming to save you Check (ISIS too are big fan bois of Jesus)
Anti abortion Check
Small government Check
Anti gay Check
Anti left Check
Anti women. Check
JL Islamists are right wing religious fundamentalists just like you !! We cheered them on when they were fighting the commies (leftists) for us.
I do wonder why drowning puppies is always wondering about the sexuality of others.. Have you none of your own ? Do you spend a lot of your day thinking about what others might be doing, perhaps just a bit more than curious? Remember pop psychology 101, drowning puppies we usually insult people with the words that would most hurt ourselves. Were you once hurt by something sexual that someone said to you? And so now want to hurt others in the same way ?
Wonder all you want, retard, but thanks so much for caring./
How stupid are you john?
Do you really think that the advocacy for an ideal or idea is the same thing as killing those who disagree with you?
The rest of your post is just another case of railing against strawmen.
a few uestions here…
#1..what would it take to stop all future “christian” attacks on abortion clinics??
a. stop abortions
#2.. what would it take to stop all future “muslim” attacks on americans??
a. have all americans convert to islam, throw out the constitution and install sharia as the law of the land.
#3.. how in hell do you make these two anywhere near equilallant??
wake up people..we are in a cultural and religious war in which there is no compromise, no negotiation, no truce…only surrender or death.
when there are a few muslims in your midst, they present themselves as peaceful and innocent….when there are enough, they demand you give them special status, semi-self government, special courts and laws suited to their culture which they hold to, refusing to assimalate… as soon as they are the majority they demand all non muslims convert or die…
they have an agenda and a plan…and are willing to play the long game..
WAKE UP AND STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER
Hopefully our resident lover of the “far-right”, John, will read what you wrote.
the child abusers spew their garbage and the pound sign people theirs.
It is very interesting to see………… that for some reason you fail to see obvious things A quick google search will show over 30 MILLION hits to “Muslims speak out against terrorism”
