Here’s another anti-Muslim hate crime that Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer and the Bigot Brigade can claim they have nothing to do with — this time on the hallowed ground of Hudson, in upstate New York.

HUDSON — City detectives are searching for the vandals who spray-painted a racial slur on a local mosque and an anti-government obscenity in an alley near the house of worship, according to police.

Hudson Lt. Lynne Finn said the vandalism occurred sometime between midnight and 5 a.m. Wednesday at the Hudson Islamic Center on North 3rd Street. The epithet was left on the rear of the mosque while the anti-government rant was spray painted on a wooden fence in an alleyway adjacent to the mosque at the corner of North 3rd Street and Long Alley, Finn said.

Finn said both were done with red paint.

When there is another Islamist attack on the USA, it's going to be "isolated incidents" 24/7 for a week. I begin to think that there are people pushing to create this sort of atmosphere and rubbing their hands in anticipation of the upcoming bloodbath...

We should withhold judgment, it might have been an angry Imam. Or a liberal.
Probably voted for Barack Obama, too. Let the conservative blogs investigate.

BUT maybe what we need to really deal with the undercurrent of racism and bigotry that has been running though our society for so long.

I think "Ground zero supremacist" is a better epithet for the Pam-thing herself, actually.

I haven't watched the clip yet but I assume the wingnuts are focusing on the statement I objected to last night about the increase in attacks from foreign extremists if the mosque isn't built. Gen. Petraeus and Obama used the same argument against burning Qurans so I guess it's a common talking point these days.

Oh goody, President Palin has updated her Facebook spewings:

Update: Book burning is bad. But the Muslim cleric who is running for parliament in Afghanistan is calling for the murder of American children in response to scorched Korans, which is worse. Where is the media's focus?

Huh?

While we condemn the Koran burning, I think it's worth asking why Islamic Theocracies criminalize the practice of other religions within their territories.

Why? What possible relevence does that question pose to how WE behave? Why not tack on the question, "Since others behave in a monstrous or intolerant manner, isn't it ok for us to do so as well?"

Wha?
Why do we want to be like them?
We can at least live up to our ideals and "angels of our better nature" without using the argument of "but they do it in their country".
What kind of argument is that?

Because going back to the day when Benjamin Franklin's grandfather had to read his (protestant version) bible with a child posted as lookout so they could hide the bible if necessary, and the day from which "Three Blind Mice" comes from, is just a really good idea.

I wonder if those morons are whining about their first amendment rights "to harass people we don't like on campus even though the rules say we can't but I bet the we can get Focus on the Family to say we are being persecuted by the gay agenda because he was all gay".

Is it not obvious?

Because those places are run by fuckbags just like the guy who is burning Korans. It's the same problem, both here and there.

I believe we SHOULD condemn the prososed Koran burning AND ask why Islamic theocracies are so intolerant of other religions and Muslim apostates. Both positions can be held within one sane mind, dont'ja think!

What's not clear from your post is why you think that we should take the occasion of dealing with a bigot in Florida as an opportunity to discuss Islamic Theocracies.

Is there a particular Theocracy you're concerned about?
