I remember watching that ozzy osbourne show and they got pissed at their neighbors for playing loud music or whatever it was and he went and tossed a ham at em. I guess good thing they weren't muslim or he'd be in jail now.
Bacon is bacon. Wouldn't the Muslim have to freak out over an accidentally dropped piece of bacon? It's the bacon that defiled the holy piece of public property. They have extreme superstitions about pork -- not just accidental pork. They have extreme superstitions about dogs also, what would happen if someone had been out walking a dog in that field?
Nothing... just as 99% of them doing nothing now, whenever a dog passes or pepperoni pizza is eaten. Speaking of overreacting!
Btw, they're not really superstitious about dogs, they just don't keep them in their homes. Have you EVER heard of an American Muslim protesting over dog shelters, pet shops, or other individuals having dogs? I haven't, and we have a decent-sized Muslim population around here.
No, I don't wonder at all!
I think they are out to change our 1st amendment.
Welcome to the USA, where tolerance means, you deal with it and go about your way.
"Hate crime" is what is used when there really is no crime, or additional crime, ruled by emotions. Not individual rights.
All violent crime, is "hate crime" They don't do it because they love, or even like you.
My breathing, is a "hate crime" to some.
You people really don't get it, do you? Unbelievable that I'm the only one who sees their point, and I'm freakin' Jewish!!! Offending isn't a hate crime, intentionally attacking somebody based on their race or religion is. Got it?? Most American Muslims just want to be left alone, and anyone here who doesn't respect their freedom to worship without being targeted is the one who needs "get on a jet and leave" (as another poster so eloquently suggested).
And no, it's not about the stupid bacon - it's about the lack of common decency, respect, and understanding of our laws, which all seem to be the American way lately.
>>> No, vandalism is a crime and its completely offbase and ignorant to insinuate that I'd take a far more serious act of an actual hate crime as lightly as I would this.
Are you saying my example (of the swastikas on my synagogue) wasn't a hate crime, or that this bacon incident wasn't? Either way, I'm obviously not off-base if you'd act like these were random non-hate-motivated crimes. But I'm being ignorant? You're the one defending such behavior, and pretending people who'd do that are of no threat to society. How do you think that Sikh temple killer would react to this? I bet he'd be laughing and shrugging it off as a simple prank.
The average Muslim is a lot like the average Christian. They pick and choose what parts of their religion they want to follow.
Not really... they are usually much more consistent and devoted than your average Christian, and keep to themselves when it comes to worship (none of that proselytizing "be like me or else" attitude we see in Christians).
And I ask again, who here has ever heard of Muslims protesting the mere existence of pork? All they did was report this incident, nothing more.

"Cupcake, a trained therapy dog that will begin visiting patients at Sunnybrook hospital this fall, was on a leash during the rally, and wore an Israeli flag around its neck.
Some devout Muslims consider dogs to be unclean and make efforts to avoid them.
Einstoss said after two young Muslim women asked about Cupcake, he was told by a male Al-Quds demonstrator he was “not allowed to go near our women” with the dog. Einstoss said that after exclaiming his right to go where he pleased, he walked away with Cupcake, but was “punched in the chest” by another demonstrator.
Einstoss shoved back, and within seconds was grabbed by several officers.
He claimed that while in custody, one officer called him “insensitive” for attending an Islamic rally with a dog."
Wonder if Muslims get outaged over raccoons and seagulls having been in their "sacred" space,lol.
Guess no hate crime after all,huh.
Did the raccoons and seagulls specifically target them for being Muslims, with the intention of offending them for being of this religion? If not, I don't think they have to worry about being charged with anything other than "criminal trespass."

That didn't answer my question... have THEY ever protested dogs being kept or sold by others? And for that matter, have they ever proposed a nationwide ban on dogs or pork products?
I guess you missed the part where this took place at an ISLAMIC rally - so like the bacon incident (although perhaps less intentional), it was an issue of imposing upon their space allegedly with the intent to offend. Wish it hadn't gotten violent, but this is hardly a good example of how American Muslims react to dogs in general. I also imagine the Israeli flag had something to do with this getting blown out of proportion, don'tcha think?
