For a second when I read the headline I was worried that this might have involved Kevin Bacon...

Christians stoned by Muslims in Dearborn retain American Freedom Law Center for civil rights lawsuit

During the 2012 Arab International Festival held this past June in Dearborn, Michigan, a group of Christian evangelists were pelted with stones, bottles, and debris by Muslim youths while deputies from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office stood idly by, allowing the criminal assault to take place. Many of the Christians were bloodied by the attack. When Ruben Israel, the leader of the Christian group, asked the law enforcement officers present to step in and enforce the criminal law so that the Christians could exercise their right to freedom of speech, Israel was given the option of either leaving the festival or facing arrest....

No hate crimes here - except for the Christians who are holding their signs in such an intimidating manner.
Those protesters were White and Chriatiams, they don't belong to a "protected class", remember?

Therefore they have no feelings, cannot be "hated", and must do everything within their control to relinquish their "privilege".

Apparently you don't understand what the term "protected class" means, and I've probably explained it a million times on here. I'll give you a hint: Anyone and everyone is a protected class, if they're targeted or discriminated against for their race/religion/orientation/etc. And yes, that includes white Christians too. Seriously, am I the ONLY person in the US who actually understands that law?

What an un-American thing to say... this is the United States of America, where anyone should be able to go/live wherever they want, without having to worry about some bigoted idiots targeting them. And this coming from a Jew, of all people.

P.S. Since when are Muslims not welcomed in New York?? This didn't happen in Kansas, for goodness sakes!

In that case, Tim would be right... I'm pretty sure jackasses aren't a protected class, LOL.

I realize Muslims are not supposed to eat bacon but, is raw bacon on the ground really going to offend anyone? If this was a hate crime what was Pisss Christ? I am sorry, you do not have the right not to be offended.

Point is, someone got the bright idea to essentially desecrate that area, knowing full well it was highly offensive to Muslims (and devout Jews and even Old Testament-following Christians, although it's pretty clear they weren't the target).

Knowing full well no Muslim would ever deem that area to be 'clean'.

I know a Muslim lady married to a non-Muslim, he keeps bacon in their fridge. She does not seem to be offended by it.
