Well I'll be! Turns out that not all McCain-Palin rallies are heady hives of sticky-faced clown people calling Barack Obama a terrorist ACORN nigra.

John McCain has been commended for that one day last week when he defended Barack Obama twice against claims that the Democratic candidate is scary, not-to-be trusted, and, of course, Arab. But missing in that defense that McCain so generously offered — after being attacked from all sides for his previous failure to do so — was that, in addition to the fact that Obama is neither Muslim nor Arab, Muslims and Arabs should not be feared and shunned.

Emboldened by the fact that one of their own was chosen to run on the Republican ticket for the second highest office in the land, the simplest folk in America have banded together to call for the destruction of a stupid toy doll they claim spouts EVIL TERRORIST CHANTING!!!!!!!

The Fisher-Price Little Mommy Cuddle 'n Coo is meant to make realistic baby sounds and occasionally cry out for its "mama".

But some parents claim that one of its noises sounds just like "Islam is the Light", and have complained to Mattel, which owns Fisher-Price.

Some shops in the US have removed the doll from shelves after complaints from customers…

A spokesman for Fisher-Price insisted that the doll was not pushing pro-Islamic messages, adding that the sound some parents were hearing was caused by an accidental distortion of the doll's soundtrack.
…
Earlier, Mattel released a statement saying that "the power of suggestion" was the reason why parents were mis-hearing the doll.

September 15th marked the 45th anniversary of a brutal, racially-motivated church bombing in Birmingham, Ala., that killed four black girls. I can't help but recall that act of homegrown terrorism when hearing the news that a chemical irritant was sprayed into the children's room of a Dayton, Ohio, mosque Friday. The 300 people inside were celebrating the last 10 days of Ramadan at the time; children and babies were being held in the room while their parents prayed. A child saw two men spraying something into the window before everyone started coughing and tearing and had to leave the building. Police are investigating. [DDN]

People who go on and on about how "crazy" Barack Obama supporters are have never seen footage of these nutjobs. You might be inclined to lump Chris Matthews in the same category, but probably for different reasons.

"Senator Obama is half African by birth and Africans can understandably identify with him. In Islam, however, there is no such thing as a half-Muslim. Like all monotheistic religions, Islam is an exclusive faith. As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he renounced his religion… As most Americans understand it, Senator Obama is not a Muslim. He chose to become a Christian, and indeed has written convincingly to explain how he arrived at his choice and how important his Christian faith is to him. His conversion, however, was a crime in Muslim eyes; it is “irtidad” or “ridda,” usually translated from the Arabic as “apostasy,” but with connotations of rebellion and treason. Indeed, it is the worst of all crimes that a Muslim can commit… Most citizens of the Islamic world would be horrified by the fact of Senator Obama’s conversion to Christianity once it became widely known — as it would, no doubt, should he win the White House. This would compromise the ability of governments in Muslim nations to cooperate with the United States in the fight against terrorism."

Two weeks after Hillary Clinton said in an interview that as President she would send America's military to "totally obliterate" Iran were the Muslim nation to attack Israel, an Iranian cleric has responded with his own threats of violence.

Ahmed Khatami told a large crowd of followers Friday that he believes America is "fighting Islam," adding, "If the crazy people in Washington or Tel Aviv take any military action [against Iran], the Iranian nation will hit them with such a slap that they will not be able to get on their feet again."

Our apologies for not alerting you to this sooner, but happy Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week! Sponsored by the nuts at the Terrorism Awareness Project, this week is a time for raising public awareness about "soft jihad," fearmongering and lots of cowering. Lots. Be safe out there.

More and more Muslims are turning to home schooling to educate their children, according to a piece in today's Times. In one school district in California, 40 percent of school-aged girls of Pakistani and Southeast Asian descent are taught at home. This exodus is partly due to disgust with American institutions — "Little girls are walking around dressing like hoochies, cursing and swearing and showing disrespect toward their elders" — and partly to fear of harassment — "We don’t want anyone to point a finger at us … to say that we are bad."

Unfortunately, neither of those worries is unfounded; but is pulling their children out of school the most effective way for Muslim parents to alleviate those issues? We say no. Segregation, self-imposed or not, is terrible for diverse communities, especially when the culture being estranged is already considered by many to be insular and frightening. Besides, oftentimes struggle begets progress:

Robina Asghar, a Muslim who does social work in Stockton, Calif., says the fact that her son was repeatedly branded a “terrorist” in school hallways sharpened his interest in civil rights and inspired a dream to become a lawyer. He now attends a Catholic high school.

A black Philadelphia woman was sentenced to 8 months in a halfway house for sending her Muslim co-worker an anonymous hate note using magazine clippings, although the U.S. Attorney assigned to the case wanted her to get one year in prison, the maximum penalty for a misdemeanor hate crime. The note contained references to 9-11 and threats against the victim's children. Kia Reid, the 35-year-old mother of three convicted of the crime, said that she sent the note, which she crafted while wearing gloves to avoid fingerprints, out of anger over a work dispute, not hate.

Pratter said that while Reid's crime was "very serious" and had an "incendiary quality," her remorse was "earnest."

In addition to time in a halfway house, Pratter also sentenced Reid to 200 hours of community service, ordered her to undergo anger-management and sensitivity training and not have any contact with Timani for two years.

After the hearing, an angry Timani told reporters outside the courtroom that Reid should have gotten "hard time, jail time," adding: "There's no remorse."
