This is about as ugly as America gets. I hesitate to add the words 'so far' but along with other incendiary actions like Rep. Peter King's hearings on the radicalization of American Muslims, and legislation in Alabama to ban the use of Islamic law ( as if that were a problem there) this kind of thing can only escalate and spread. From The Guardian via Crooks and Liars:
Telling American citizens to "Go back home," waving the American flag and shouting about the Constitution while every word that spews out of their vile mouths is the exact opposite of what that flag stands for and what that Constitution says.
Despicable.
"The Southern California chapter of the Islamic Circle of North America Relief USA organized a fundraising dinner in Orange County, last month. But guess who also turned up? A motley collection of protesters who can be seen here chanting in the video distributed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations civil rights group:
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.
One of the protesters' guest speakers, seen in the video, is a local councilwoman who denounces the event as "pure, unadulterated evil," and continues:
"I know quite a few Marines who would be very happy to help these terrorists to an early meeting in paradise."
Two Republican congressmen also attended the protest rally, including one, Ed Royce, who spoke of how "multiculturalism" was paralyzing America.
And the fundraising? For disaster relief, women's shelters, and food banks, according to the Islamic Circle of North America."

You know where I live, but that is not what I was referring to. Can't say it publically, but some people were expected to be certain places.
Hi Scott,
If you're putting the hardsell on me, okay, you win...What's the best way to purchase your latest book...
wha?!
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. I've always believed that the measure of someone's beliefs is in how they are communicated. Beliefs born of fear usually end up like this. By the way, Carguy. I'm very disappointed in you and you know why. Same for Alienhunter.
I think I can answer your question on the difference between a fundamentalist muslim and a fundamentalist christian.
The fundamentalist muslim is willing to die for his convictions and the fundamentalist christian is willing to let some else die for his.
Congrats and Good luck!
Hey, thanks for asking, aH!
I start a new job on Monday! I am really excited about this!
And yes, these a-clowns probably sit in church on Sunday morning and preen over how "holy" they are.
Sanctimonious hypocrites!
Meanwhile Fox News released this footage of the event:

Hi Shortstuff, How's the job situation?
The pundits in unison say, "You can't say that on television!"...but damned if it ain't true and I don't care what any pundit has to say about it.
all true, it's heartless...
Oh and the people spewing those insults probably best describe themselves as "good Christians", you know, the religion of love thy neighbor, forgiveness and "do unto others...".
Really, what's the difference between a Christian fundamentalist and a Muslim fundamentalist?
Don't you know these a-holes would love to put them at the back of the bus if they could. Or run over them with it.
Could we consider plopping the protesters in the middle of any other foreign country for a week or two, just for fun? They need a broader perspective on the world.
This made me cry. The poor children that were there, they must have been scared.
I might not believe in their faith, everyone has the right to believe in what they want. Thank God we have that right.
There are terrorists from all walks of life. I will let the Feds figure out who they are.
This demonstration was out of hate. Where there is hate, God is not part of it, nor either am I.
Republican Party sure has changed.
The similarities between these numbnuts and the people who murdered 6,000,000 Jewish people in Europe not that long ago really bothers the hell out of me. Before long, I actually expect one of these jackass legislators to write up legislation proposing that all Muslim people have to wear an "I" or "T" on their shirts.
Hatred of people for what? For no reason at all.
Hell hath no fury like a fanatic asked to give a reason for what he is doing. (thank you Gwen Bristow, author).
This is NOT the America I grew up in, and fascism is alive and well.
Hi Loma,
A nuclear holocaust would do pretty well. Maybe evolved cockroaches could produce a more pleasing civilization.
On the other hand, perhaps those people are perfect candidates for another Electric Kool-Aide Acid Test, which would be easy to administer when they regroup.
Makes me long for the pandemic, the comet, or anything else which would reduce these vile masses down to the humble beginnings that they have long since abandoned.
A warm and fuzzy catastrophe will do it every time!
"Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian." (Herman Melville, Moby Dick)
A devout Muslim is more Godly than a hypocritical Christian. Once again, the Talibaptists rear their ugly heads.
I think those protesters should go back from whence they came. 17th century England.
