I just got an email from Jacque Betz, the head of Code Pink in Gainesville, FL where Terry Jones the pyromaniac preacher of the Dove World Knucklehead Center calls home. Betz writes;
We are ashamed that he was become the face of Gainesville and we are using this debacle as an opportunity to counter the dangerous explosion of Islamophobia in this country.
What dangerous explosion are we talking about? One left wing film student who knifed a cab driver? A preacher threatening to burn a Koran – which is stupid and condemned by everyone who can get to a TV camera from Barack Obama to Sarah Palin? A peaceful protest in New York City against a religious center being built?
And what has Betz done to build bridges between communities?
We have also created a Peace Ribbon composed of over 300 panels that pay tribute to the soldiers and civilians victims of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
Yep, that ought to do it. It’s as useless as burning a Koran – an empty, pathetic, pointless gesture to counter another empty, pathetic, pointless gesture.
But I want to know where this explosion of Islamaphobia is and why haven’t I been invited?
Seems you just can’t avoid using the words explosive and Islam in the same sentence.
Islamophobe, er racist, uh, uh, Teabagger.
We, over at “Bare Naked Islam” know that “It isn’t Islamaphobia when they really ARE trying to kill you.”

I’m sick of the word “phobia”, since it has been mis-used for several different causes. A phobia is a fear; I don’t fear islam, so saying I’m suffering from islamophobia would be incorrect. Granted, most leftists can’t figure that part out.
Is the chucklehead in Florida being stupid? Yep. Does he have the right to be stupid? Yep. Are the rock worshippers being just as stupid? Yep. Code Pinko? Well, they have always been stupid, but I digress. Has Bobo and his minions fallen into a trap? Yep, they sure have. Since he could only muster a “it’s their right to build it” in reference to the GZM, yet comes unglued for the retard in Florida, and get’s the rest of the knuckleheads to come out saying the same thing, show’s the muslim nutjobs exactly how to game us. And game us they have. Why else would Rauf go on tv yesterday morning and say that if the GZM is moved, there will be violence because muslims around the world will attack? He’s not stupid; he knows the drill i.e. to get what you want; throw out some faux outrage and watch them fold like a cheap card table.
There is no evidence of direct action against our troops in Afghanistan based on something we did here to “outrage” the followers. That some have indicated that there will be increased attacks; no one knows, it’s speculation. That’s why all official statements, including Gen. Patreaus, had the words “might” and “could have”, because no one knows for sure. Yeah, the rock worshippers are getting all whipped up in the hundreds, but they are burning American flags and posing menacingly for the camera. Will it put our troops in harms way? They already are, since they went over there with all sorts of weapons, which would be an indication.
That’s why I’m not getting my undies all twisted up, right now. I know we are being gamed, once again.
Why so much outrage at the nutjob in Florida and not the Imam of the GZM? Easy, the nutjob in Florida is a white (so called) Christian that won’t blow someone up, the other….well, has splodeydopes backing him up…
You sent me to the urban dictionary with that one, Old Tanker.
Two Muslims traveling across the country couldn’t find it either.

It’s funny how the term “islamophobe” is tossed around like I’m suppose to be embarassed by it.
It’s those who constantly use it who should feel stupid and embarassed for their misuse of the English language.
A “phobia” is an irrational fear of something. My fear of islam is very real. When a group has their stated goal as enslaving the world under islam and killing those who don’t submit then I have every right to be afraid.
Wherever this Islamophobia is, please let me know. I am totally down. And the burnination of a koran is pretty dumb, but hey it’s cool, revolutionmuslim is hosting a ‘burn the American Flag’ day on 9/11. Thanks for their rationality I guess.
I’m surprised that Super Matthis hasn’t flown down there (on somebody else’s dime) and taken that situation in hand! Oh, that’s right! He’s otherwise engaged representing the IVAW on the ‘expert’ panel tomorrow. Oh, wait!! He’s no longer a part of the IVAW. Hmmm. I bet he’ll wait until AFTER the panel discussion to disclose that little tidbit. Wouldn’t want to miss his 15 minutes in front of the microphone.
Jonn, think I know why CODEPinkos didn’t invite you. Their afeared you’d smoke all of their cheapass cigars and drink whats left of the booze…Just saying.
