Hate Crimes: Man Assaults Muslim Woman Following Reports of ‘Dark-Skinned’ Boston Bombing Suspects

Can we stop the violence? White folks not every “dark-skinned” person is out to get you. Man Assaults Muslim Woman Following Reports of Boston Bombing Suspects According to Raw Story A Muslim woman in Boston says that she was attacked by a white man on on Wednesday morning because he was apparently enraged by the Boston Marathon bombings and convinced, despite a lack of evidence, that the perpetrators were Muslim. Heba Abolaban told Malden Patch that she and her friend, who were both wearing hijabs, were walking on Commercial Street with their children when a white male in his thirties punched her in her left shoulder. “He was screaming ‘Fuck you Muslims! You are terrorists! I hate you! You are involved in the Boston explosions! Fuck you!’” she recalled. “Oh my lord, I was extremely shocked.” “I did not say anything to him,” she added. “Not even that we aren’t terrorists… he was so aggressive.” After about two minutes of confrontation, the man left and Abolaban called her husband and police. She said the police were “kind and helpful,” but no arrests had been made. The attack came the same day that CNN falsely reported that a “dark-skinned male” had been arrested in connection to the Boston Marathon bombings, and the day before the The New York Post published a photo of a “person of interest” with dark skin — who turned out to be Moroccan-American high school track runner. Since Tuesday, two police officers have been stationed outside the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, the city’s largest mosque. Wayland Police Chief Robert Irving has also offered additional support to the Islamic Center of Boston. “We do increase our presence there, mostly just for the comfort of the people that go there,” Irving told Patch on Wednesday. “It reminds me of after 9/11, I did the same thing. I want to make sure they understand we’ll be extra vigilant and make sure their people and property are safe.” Do you think a conversation needs to happen in America to develop a tolerance for other cultures, races and ethnicities?

Hate Crimes: Man Assaults Muslim Woman Following Reports of ‘Dark-Skinned’ Boston Bombing Suspects

Dear Bossip: We’ve Been Together 9 Years & Have A Family, Yet, I Just Learned He Had A Baby A Few Years Ago

Dear Bossip , I have been with a man for over 9 years. I just recently found out that he was fooling around on me and impregnated another woman. We have 2 kids together and this child is the same age as our youngest child. When confronting the other woman it was obvious that she was nothing but a creep. She even admits to a night of drunk sex that resulted in a baby. When asked what the extent was of my man and the child’s relationship, she said he is not present and that she wants nothing to do with him, and she’s better off without him. When I asked my man he broke down and cried and admitted to sleeping with the girl. He tells me that the baby may or may not be his because come to find out she told him it was a possibility. He claims that he tried to tell me before, but was so afraid to tell me and he kept it a secret in fear that I may leave him. I again called the woman who now changes up her story and tells me a whole different account of the relationship, but it is in sync with his story. She has moved on, has other children, but my feelings are hurt because I love this man and until that point I thought we were happy. He has changed his ways. He is continuously apologizing and trying to stay on my good side. What do I do? I love this man and we have a home, cars, children, and life together. It happened a few years back, but it feels like it happened yesterday. Am I a fool for staying? – What To Do Dear Ms. What To Do , Yes, you are a fool for staying. The hell is wrong with your a**! Your man got another woman pregnant and he didn’t tell you until you confronted him. He gave that bull-ish line that he was afraid to tell you and kept it a secret in fear that you may leave him. Really? Really! He wasn’t afraid to stick his d**k inside her raw! He wasn’t scared of the potential diseases he could have received and brought home to you! He wasn’t scared during all those years he was in communication with her and seeing his child! So, yes, Ms. Thang, you are a damn fool! You want to sit up here and call her a creep, yet your man crept with her. So, what does that make him? Stop bashing her, and making her look bad when your man is just as guilty. Regardless if it was drunk sex and she spread her legs for him, it was your man who climbed on top of her and hit it raw, and then lied to you for years about his secret child. Stop defending him!!! Your argument against her is not going to win in any court of law, and definitely not on Bossip Court. And, on top of it all you have been with him for 9 years, not married, but you have two children with him, a home, cars, and built a life with him, but he hasn’t married you. SMDH! Y’all are some real silly a** tricks! He doesn’t owe you anything! He can walk out that door again and do what he did and still come back to you because you will let him. Why do you women think because you have invested time, energy, children, and built a life with a man who has not put a ring on your finger, pledged his love for you in front of God and your and his family, and made any vows to you that he owes you anything? He can leave you at any time and have no qualms about it because he has no ties to you other than your children. So, when he leaves what will you have? What will you say then? I gave him 9 years of my life and he does this to me. Yous a damn fool! You did it to yourself! The woman told you that she doesn’t want anything to do with him and she’s better off without him, but what about the child? If it is his child then why would he not want to be actively involved in his own child’s life? Your children are his brother or sister. So, he wants them to grow up and they not know anything about their other sibling? Yeah, that’s a brilliant idea. Your man continues to be another deadbeat, absentee father who allows his child to grow up fatherless. Then the child wonders who their father is, and grows up to be bitter, angry and mad at the world because he father wasn’t a part of his life. Is this what that child deserves? Did this child ask for any of this? NO!!! Hell no!!! But, because of your man and that woman’s reckless behavior they produced a child, and now they are resentful of each other and the child has to pay for their stupidity.  They are two damn donkeys! Yeah, you definitely have a winner on your hands. Yep, you have father of the year, and a champion dad. The same man who hasn’t married you, and the same man who cheated on you and lied for years to you. You think you know your man, but you don’t. And, you can sit your humpy dumpty a** up there and hope things will be different, and you can move forward, and he apologizes until the cows come home, but the fact remains that a child was created due to his night of wanting to be unfaithful and spread his seeds. RAW!!! Ma’am, he went up in this woman, RAW, and he didn’t know her. He’s trifling, sad, and harmful to you and your own life. He wasn’t thinking about you and your children at that moment, and beyond was he? He lied to you for years and kept the child a secret. Yes, he’s a liar, and he only revealed the truth when he was caught. So, therefore we can deduce that he’s a cheater, liar, manipulator, deceiver, and untrustworthy. Now, you’re asking me what you should do. You tell me what you think you should. I’ll tell you this, it is not the first time he’s cheated and lied to you, and it certainly won’t be the last. This I know for sure. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Hi Haters: Missouri Mosque Burns To The Ground In A Fire Where Arson Is Suspected … Again

Arson Suspected In Missouri Mosque Burning What’s with all these attacks on places of worship ? On July 4th, Joplin, Missouri’s Islamic Center — the city’s only mosque — suffered roof damage after an unidentified man set it on fire by tossing a burning object onto the building. On Monday, the mosque burned again — but this time, the damage was far more extensive. Fire Chief Bill Dunn of neighboring Carl Junction described it as a “complete loss.” The FBI has dispatched some 50 agents to investigate the fire, which special agent Michael Kaste, head of the Kansas City FBI office, characterized as “suspicious.” Some fifty families are served by the mosque, and the loss of their place of worship during the holy month of Ramadan hit especially hard. “It’s unbelievable,” said congregant Omar Ahmed. “It’s a house of worship. It’s a place of God.” The Islamic Center’s leader, Imam Lahmuddin, expressed defiance in the face of hardship. “This should not stop us from serving God,” he told the Joplin Globe. “We still have to fulfill our obligation.” Lahmuddin said mosque members view the fire as “a test from God.” The FBI and the ATF are offering a $15,000 reward to anyone with information leading to the arrest of the arsonist who set last month’s fire — a reward that will be extended to include the latest incident, should it be considered deliberate. The Council on American-Islamic Relations is offering its own $10,000 reward for information pertaining to the most recent fire. Well at least no one was hurt. Hopefully they’ll catch the culprit soon. SMH. Source KOAM

Peace Bond Hearing for Terry Jones

FBI’s agent provacatuer reported to the FBI by alarmed mosque-goers

FAKE TERRORISM EXPOSED! Informant: FBI operative Craig Monteilh was sent to spy on Muslims but was thrown out and reported to his handlers for extremist behavior. “This is Farouk al-Aziz, code name Oracle,” he said into the keys as he sat in his parked car in this quiet community south of Los Angeles. “It's November 13th, 4:30 a.m. And we're hot.” The undercover FBI informant – a convicted forger named Craig Monteilh – then drove off for 5 a.m. prayers at the Islamic Center of Irvine, where he says he spied on dozens of worshipers in a quest for potential terrorists. Since the 2001 terrorist attacks, the FBI has used informants successfully as one of many tactics to prevent another strike in the United States. Agency officials say they are careful not to violate civil liberties and do not target Muslims. But the FBI's approach has come under fire from some Muslims, criticism that surfaced again late last month after agents arrested an Oregon man they said tried to detonate a bomb at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. FBI technicians had supplied the device. In the Irvine case, Monteilh's mission as an informant backfired. Muslims were so alarmed by his talk of violent jihad that they obtained a restraining order against him. He had helped build a terrorism-related case against a mosque member, but that also collapsed. The Justice Department recently took the extraordinary step of dropping charges against the worshiper, who Monteilh had caught on tape agreeing to blow up buildings, law enforcement officials said. Prosecutors had portrayed the man as a dire threat. Compounding the damage, Monteilh has gone public, revealing secret FBI methods and charging that his “handlers” trained him to entrap Muslims as he infiltrated their mosques, homes and businesses. He is now suing the FBI. added by: maasanova

Jealous? Al Sharpton Complains Media’s ‘Imbalanced and Unfair’ When Terry Jones Steals Spotlight

Rev. Al Sharpton, last seen leading a small leftist counter-protest of Glenn Beck’s rally in Washington on August 28, complained on his radio show Friday that Rev. Terry Jones shouldn’t have gotten media attention because he’s doing “nothing but hatemongering.” (Al Sharpton, by contrast, is the Apostle of Love.) A lot of people wonder why we in civil rights get attention. Now we can produce our following and our members, tens of thousands of people at marches, all kind of stuff and we project an issue that helps people and they say we get too much media coverage. This guy in Florida is doing nothing but hatemongering, has fifty members on a good Sunday and the whole world is standing still. And y’all wonder why I say the media is imbalanced and unfair. Turning to Smokey Fontaine of the black website NewsOne.com, Sharpton complained that even Barack Obama was forced to address Jones at his press conference: But as everyone knows he has had to deal with this question of the Islamic Center that is being proposed in lower Manhattan and the threat by this Minister in Florida who I think has gotten unparalleled media attention globally. I mean now, I lead a national organization, have a national syndicated show, TV and radio and they ask why do I get press attention? This man has fifty followers and only because he’s going to burn some Bibles — I mean some Korans, which is the Bible in Islam — on hate, he gets world attention and the media doesn’t see a contradiction there. Many Americans would agree that Rev. Terry Jones didn’t deserve national attention for his stunt — and many of the same Americans would wish the same obscurity on the antics of the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Pastor Terry Jones Has Cancelled His Plan to Burn the Quran on 9/11 ||| UPDATE (9/9/10, 10:41PM PT): Oh… No, Wait… Now He’s "Rethinking" His Cancelled Quran Burning

Florida minister cancels plans to burn Koran on 9/11 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The leader of a small Florida church that espouses anti-Islam philosophy says he is canceling plans to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11. Pastor Terry Jones said Thursday that he decided to cancel his protest because the leader of a planned Islamic Center near ground zero has agreed to move its controversial location. The agreement couldn't be immediately confirmed. Jones' plans to burn Islam's holiest text Saturday sparked an international outcry. President Barack Obama, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan and several Christian leaders had urged Jones to reconsider his plans. They said his actions would endanger U.S. soldiers and provide a strong recruitment tool for Islamic extremists. Jones' protest also drew criticism from religious and political leaders from across the Muslim world. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-naw-koran-burning-20100909,0,6… added by: EthicalVegan

Concerned about terrorism, Real Americans torch Tennessee mosque

Federal officials are investigating a fire that started overnight at the site of a new Islamic center in a Nashville suburb. Ben Goodwin of the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department confirmed to CBS Affiliate WTVF that the fire, which burned construction equipment at the future site of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, is being ruled as arson. Special Agent Andy Anderson of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told CBS News that the fire destroyed one piece of construction equipment and damaged three others. Gas was poured over the equipment to start the fire, Anderson said. The ATF, FBI and Rutherford County Sheriff's Office are conducting a joint investigation into the fire, Anderson said. WTVF reports firefighters were alerted by a passerby who saw flames at the site. One large earth hauler was set on fire before the suspect or suspects left the scene. The chair of the center's planning committee, Essim Fathy, said he drove to the site at around 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning after he was contacted by the sheriff's department. “Our people and community are so worried of what else can happen,” said Fathy. “They are so scared.” http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/08/28/national/main6814690.shtml added by: atomiclegion
