Anti-Islamic sign found outside Houston Mosque

[sonz]

An anti-Islamic sign that calls Muslims “the enemy” was found outside a southeast Houston mosque, police said.

The 3-foot-by-6-foot sign was posted on a fence outside the Islamic Society Of Greater Houston's Southeast Zone Masjid, located on Old Galveston Road near South Shaver Street.

"It tried to depict the community here or American Muslims in general as being the enemy and it also had a little character at the bottom trying to associate Muslims with terrorism," said Kaleem Siddiqui, a spokesman for the Houston chapter of The Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Siddiqui said the sign was hurtful to Muslims who attend the mosque.

"People have a couple of reactions. One, they are pretty shocked that that would happen in this area. This area is very diverse and there haven't been a lot of issues on this side of town. And, they are a little upset that their neighbors would do something like this to them ? that it could come from their own community," Siddiqui said.

However, Houston Police Department said the case would not be investigated as a hate crime, as the sign was placed on a fence which sits on public property.

This obviously isn't cool. I am suprised this stuff doesn't happen more, though. You must admit that there isn't many of these things going on in the U.S. Imagine how wild it would be if every time something happened that we didn't like, Americans filled the streets, like say the Iranians, and chanted "Death to Iran" and burned things and stormed buildings. If that day ever comes, the rest of the world better be afraid, very afraid.

We're not scared of nobody's country, army or power ...we are afraid of Allah, that's what makes SOME of us dangerous on the battlefield.
