Why can't we see the original correspondence? Why do these conversations always involve half the information? Half the story?
Agreed, apparently he was man enough to call the dude and apologize. But he should still step down. Good Lord, when will these people get over their fear and obsession with Sharia Law? http://wtaq.com/news/articles/2014/...ter-controversial-questions-about-uwgb-group/
Why do you have a problem with him asking a member of the Ikhwan Youth a question out of curiosity? In case you didn't know, both the MSA and Hamas were founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood...
You can. They are in the source link. There is no circumstance where asking whether or not she's a terrorist is appropriate in his response. Not even as a joke. - - - Updated - - - Because it has nothing to do with anything. How would you feel if you called the Transit authority for bus information and they asked you if you had ever been convicted as a child molester? It's retarded and irrelevant.
If she had been 100% in support of Sharia Law , his questions would still be just as inappropriate. He was not elected to interrogate citizens on their political views. That is not his function. Whats next, asking a black guy if he's ever belonged to the black panthers? Asking random white people if they've ever been a member of the Klan? He needs to just do his job and ЅTFU.
It wasn't random. He noticed her name from a newsletter he receives. And as he said he was not asking as an Alderman but as a concerned citizen. Something tells me if this was David Duke asking about public transport during voting days you wouldn't have a problem with the guy asking if he's the same David Duke that ran the KKK. The left would make the argument that it was perfectly appropriate to make sure that someone who was possibly involved in/supported extremism and was asking about public transportation during voting wasn't going to do something he shouldn't do.
i didn't read it, but it's impossible to say something anti-islamic that is also inappropriate. the two are mutually exclusive.
It certainly was irrelevant, but his question is no more retarded than claiming "free transportation is a must for Election Day". People who play stupid games win stupid prizes. Incidentally, how were his comments/questions "anti-Muslim"? Do all Muslims belong to the MSA, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood?
Sorry, but in addition to answering his inappropriate question as a RWNJ might, he apologized. But yes i know the fear-points: Mooslim Brotherhood!, Southern Border!! ISIS!!! Sharia Law!!!! Ebola!!!!! Yep, we get it.
So if a black cop pulled you over, and while writing a ticket casually asked "as a concerned citizen" if you had ever been involved with any white supremacist organisations, you would just accept it? You would think that is perfectly appropriate? She did not have the exact name of a famous terrorist...she just had a name he thought generally sounded Muslim.
If I had the same name as the leader of a group that supports white supremacist extremism absolutely it would be appropriate. From the link: "In an interview, Wery said he attended the university and he recognized Mohammad's name as founder of the Muslim Student Association from a campus publication that he receives. He said Muslim college groups elsewhere across the country have espoused anti-American sentiments, and he added that he took the opportunity to ask Mohammad about the UW-Green Bay group." Furthermore, he didn't accuse her of anything. He ASKED her who she was and what she supported.
She did not have the name of a well known terrorist....she simply had a muslim-sounding name. Um...since when did "Founder of Muslim Student Association" = "terrorist"? When did that happen? It is irrelevant whether or not he accused her of anything. Simply bringing it up was inappropriate. He is not a police investigator...it is not his function to interrogate citizens. If that same cop had started asking you about whether or not you were a member of NAMBLA, and then started commenting that you kind of looked like a child molester (but, omg, he is only asking as a concerned citizen, not as a cop of course), would you be a little annoyed by that?
Yep, and good catch thanks. I was looking at the name Muhammed but that's Heba's last name. I was thinking it was a dude. You're correct, how cool would it be if EVERY politician shut their fool mouth and actually got something done?
Sorry? I already pointed out that his question was irrelevant and I have no problem with him apologizing. Yes, we get it - questions like that evoke hysterical responses from people like you. What are you afraid of? .
No, she didn't just have a muslim-sounding name. She had the same name (and in fact was the same person) who was the founder of a MSA at the college he attended. It's not like he simply saw "Mohammad" in a name or something and accused her of being a terrorist. He simply asked her (BTW after he already told her he would address her issue regardless) whether or not she was the founder of the MSA at his alma mater. He then asked her if she was, does she support muslim extremism like many of the other MSA's across the country. In fact, it was responsible of him to ask. http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/84.pdf Mind showing me where he called her a terrorist? It's absolutely relevant. This is America and anybody can ask any thing they want to from anybody else. I know liberals hate that but it's still America. That's not analogous. However this is analogous. If I had the same name as the founder of a gay rights college organization that also historically has been tied to support of NAMBLA, I wouldn't have any problem whatsoever with him asking that question.
And we know the Soros Spoonfed Talking Points, too: Those are all "JV" problems, right? Why NO ONE trusts the Democrats with national security.
Ah, the PC movement to punish people for using free speech and once in awhile being inappropriate. Reminds me of radical Islam.
Being the founder of a MSA at a college does not = terrorist. She did not have the name of any known terrorist. It is not his place to interrogate her about anything. No they can't. A cop can't pull me over and ask me how big my dick is. He is only allowed to ask me stuff that is relevant to his job. A city official is not allowed to interrogate people at will about anything they feel like. You are wrong in believing city officials have the right to harass people they don't agree with. I think it's ironic you bring up the freedom argument while defending state authoritarianism. Do I have a right not to be harassed? You tell me. So basically, you don't have a problem with the government harassing people you don't like.
Ignorant bigotry who doesn't understand what Sharia is and asks people to condemn things that they aren't responsible for. I guess anyone on here who doesn't condemn attacks by right wingers should be simply banned.
If it reminds you of radical islam get help quickly and stop driving and using weapons and sharp objects. - - - Updated - - - This suggests you have no idea what Sharia is....
