[Music Video] Jasiri X asks: Are Muslims Safe in America in ‘Wandering Strangers’?
And another really good one from Jasiri X….
“With Rep. Peter King holding hearings on “Muslim Radicalization”, and American Muslims being screamed at and harassed while attending a fundraiser for battered women, can Muslims safely live and pray in the United States of America?
Our new video “Wandering Strangers” raise questions about who’s a terrorist, and why people seem to forget freedom of religion is a constitutional right. Wandering Strangers was produced by Kreid and directed by Paradise Gray.”
LYRICS:
And I too shed tears on 9-11
asking God why looking for the signs in heaven
But let me remind the reverend
When it came to lynching the Christian knights were behind the weapons
When burning crosses in the nighttime were present
In the name of Jesus we were terrorized no question
Our hurt is the witness but we aint hate the church or religion
We put the blame on the person who did it you should search for forgiveness
this verse for the critics you’re totally wrong
why did Thomas Jefferson have a Holy Qur’an
when you mention radicals why is it only Islam
wasn’t Timothy McVeigh OK with a bomb
didn’t the government fund Saddam
and the Taliban in Afghanistan before it was Obama’s Vietnam
didn’t ya forefathers come to these shores and waters
to escape persecution religious wars and slaughter
and wrote the Constitution will you ignore the authors
without freedom of religion then do you see us as citizens
burning Qur’ans just leads to more division
ain’t that what the terrorist wanted which sides really winning
Imagine being denied a place to pray
in America where your just trying to make a way
Is this the land of the free I think it’s safe to say
we coming face to face with hate today
wasted racists make it seem like Islam’s the enemy
callin Obama a Muslim want him gone like Kennedy
wasn’t love thy neighbor how Jesus formed his ministry
but I don’t qualify cause I’m the wrong identity
say good bye integrity and so long dignity
They say it’s not religion just the mosque vicinity
to Ground Zero
then dishonor the 1st responders by denying em health care is that how you crown heroes
this is the way truth sounds in ya earlobe
stop listening to those Fox clowns and weirdos
how you gonna justify vilifying and hating
when the funder of the Kingdom foundation owns ya station
and if it’s about freedom what are we really debating
if we all brothers and sisters why aren’t we relating
they say it’s about respect then call us terrorists
Nazis, jihadists, but never Americans
[Video] CNBC’s Larry Kudlow on the Japan Earthquake: “The human toll looks to be much worse than the economic toll & we can be grateful for that….”
Dude is just the worst! He tried to dial back this outrageously unfeeling comment on twitter but c’mon: you know know he said exactly what he meant.

[Video] Far-Right Hate Comes to Orange County!
Just watch this: it’s truly beyond embarrassing….
The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) today released a video of a rally organized by anti-Muslim bigots to protest a February fundraising event held by an American Muslim relief group for relief work and charity in the U.S.
A few hundred protesters showed up to the rally, which was sponsored by groups such as: “We Surround Them OC 912” (a local Tea Party group), Rabbi David Eliezrie of Chabad – Yorba Linda, North Orange County Conservative Coalition, ACT! for America, and Pamela Geller (whose group “Stop the Islamization of America” has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center).
Elected officials Congressmen Ed Royce and Gary Miller, and Villa Park Councilwoman Deborah Pauly also attended and spoke at the protest rally.
The event — held at Yorba Linda Community Center, a facility that has been frequented by Muslim families and businesses over the years — first became a target of anti-Muslim bigots over two of the fundraiser’s speakers, who were to speak on the importance of charity in Islam. Initial attempts of some groups to have the Yorba Linda Community Center and the Yorba Linda City Council cancel the fundraising event failed, followed by the protest.
In a statement, CAIR-LA said:
“We support the First Amendment right of protest\eors anywhere in America to voice their concerns, dissent, and even hatred. However, when our nation’s foundational values of inclusiveness, pluralism and equality are attacked by some in favor of calls for advocating hate and violence, then all Americans have a responsibility to challenge and expose such bigotry and those who enable it.
“As the video shows, the rhetoric of the protesters became increasingly venomous toward the families and children who came to attend the ICNA Relief fundraising dinner. Protesters shouted invective statements such as “Go home terrorist,” “Muhammad is a pervert, Muhammad is a child molester,” “Go home and beat your wife, she needs a good beating” at the event-goers.
“Even more disturbing was the participation and encouragement of elected officials in promoting the hateful protest rally. Villa Park Councilwoman, Deborah Pauly, while addressing the crowd at the rally, appeared to threaten Muslim event-goers. Congressman Ed Royce (R-40), in a troubling trend of disparaging Islam and its followers, added fuel to the fire by encouraging protesters to continue on with their hate-mongering. The attendance of Congressman Gary Miller (R-42) was a clear surprise, since he previously has engaged with all constituents, including Muslims, toward a better America.
“We strongly urge all elected officials in attendance to distance themselves from such an exhibition of hate and bigotry. We further ask residents and elected officials of Yorba Linda, Orange County and other parts of our nation to speak out against such hateful rhetoric and the continued Islamophobia that plagues our nation.”

[Video] Ad Company to Pull Race-Tinged NYC Anti-Abortion Billboard
Watch that video then read this for the background context:
“A Manhattan billboard displayed over Sixth Avenue in SoHo has sparked an intense controversy, and displays yet another instance of racist tactics employed against a woman’s right to choose. The billboard shows an image of a young African-American girl; the text reads: “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.” Below the text is a link to a website.
The group behind the billboard, Life Always, said that it was timed to coincide with Black History Month, and will be part of a nationwide campaign. On their website, they say that the campaign is designed to raise awareness about abortion’s impact on the “sustainability” of the African-American population. Their goal is “to expose the truth about how Planned Parenthood targets minority neighborhoods as they perform over 300,000 abortions a year.””

Are y’all f-cking KIDDING me?? Michel Faulkner, you and your Life Always group should be ashamed of yourselves for this noxious, racially-charged act of irresponsibility. *Smdh….*

Or was it inadvertent? Either way, Tea Party sympathizer and Right Wing pundit, Laura Ingraham is MAD!
