Sen. Durbin To Hold Hearings on American Muslim Civil Rights
— Gabriel Malor

Alternate headline: Grandstanding fool to roll out red carpet for group of non-stop whiners that face less discrimination and "hate crimes" than several other groups, according to FBI data, including Jews, gays, and (shock!) Caucasians. Maybe that's too long?

Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.) announced Tuesday that he will hold Congress' first-ever hearing on the civil rights of American Muslims next week. The hearing comes a little more than two weeks after a Republican in Congress made headlines by holding a controversial hearing on the radicalization of Muslim Americans.
The release announcing the hearing said it is in response to the "pike [sic] in anti-Muslim bigotry in the last year including Quran burnings, restrictions on mosque construction, hate crimes, hate speech, and other forms of discrimination."

As has been noted repeatedly, though few Democrats dare to publicly acknowledge it, discrimination and hate crimes against Jews in the United States exceed same directed at Muslims by an order of magnitude. Sen. Durbin goes on in his statement to jaw about religious freedom and intolerance. If he had an ounce of integrity, he would recognize that "anti-Muslim bigotry" is a fraction of what Jews face. Muslims are just more vocal about it because they've got a friendly audience in Washington.

Democrats have made a fetish of holding the Muslim community's hand. Why such attention paid to Muslim sensibilities? Well, you don't see radical Jews blowing up buildings, shooting our troops, threatening beheadings, and funding terrorism abroad, do you?

6 Oh sweet Jesus, I can't wait for this one. Muslims are just the minority of the month for Democrats to shamelessly pander to. Last month it was gays, blacks the month before that. As far as the Dems are concerned though, Asians can fuck off.

7 Yeah and while Durbin is at it, I am sure he will be talking about the vanishing Christian population in Bethlehem. Surely, Muslim religious cleansing of the Jesus' birthplace deserves some recognition?

11 Shorter Durbin: That's different. The Jews had it coming.

Funny thing, back in the day, when Israelis did things like bomb the King David Hotel, the left couldn't get enough of them. The Weavers had a hit with the kibbutz dance Tzena, Tzena. Once they settled down to a dull old parliamentary democracy, the elite switched sides, virtually mid-rant.

14 "discrimination and hate crimes against Jews in the United States exceed same directed at Muslims by an order of magnitude."

Is there any way of using Durbin's own hearings to call attention to this?
Is he able to screen out all potential inconvenient witnesses?
Can this fact and the supporting statistics get read into the record, at those hearings, in some way?
Is that even worth looking into?

17 Durbin (Mentally - Ill) makes Biden sound like a fucking mensa. Every time he appears on the Sunday chat shows he has that slack-jawed goofball grin; his handlers must pack his cheeks with alum or something to keep a line of drool from going down his chin. If somebody asks him a question that's outside the three or four sentences that he's memorized, he just repeats them anyway while saying "I'm trying to provide an explanation". The entire state of Illinois should be a toxic waste repository for sending such a fucking retard to represent their state.

44 Awkward Question #1:
"Mr. Witness, here is a brief summary from the Justice Department, showing that discrimination and hate crimes against Jews in the United States exceed same directed at Muslims by a factor of [how-ever much]. Is it your position that American Jews and American Muslims share a common cause in the suppression of discrimination and hate crimes, against all Americans? If not, why the fuck not?"

47 Awkward Question #2:
"Mr. Witness, here is a list of Muslim-affiliated organizations in the USA detailing their political contributions. Ahem. We can't help but notice that our esteemed colleagues on the Dhemmi side of the aisle are receiving the vast preponderance of these contributions. Does this reflect a prevailing sentiment amongst your religious community that Democrites are, in general, more sympathetic to your very numerous grievances, and more likely to do your bidding in the Congress of these United States? If not, what is all that money supposed to be buying for you?"

49 2/3 of hate crimes in America are directed at Jews; ten times the number directed at Muslims.

This is classic Arab/Muslim use of disinformation to further their goal of global hegemony and imposition of sharia law.

Rep. King had it 100% correct when he held hearings on home-grown Islamic terror. Maybe one of these days, before it is too late, the rest of the country will understand.

This was probably a stupid move by Dick.

I don't think the country is going to buy it (at least the ones who would already have), and it keeps the delightful RORIP in the news (not that it doesn't manage to keep itself there all on its own). The more people try to defend these jackwagons while they go around chopping off heads and blowing shit up, the more people are getting po'd. I think this will backfire on Dick...couldn't happen to a better guy.

Dick thinks he can cultivate a new voting bloc for himself, and he's getting sweet money love from certain Islamic groups...so of course he's going to give them tongue baths and just about anything else they want.

It also keeps his not so great economic recovery ideas out of the hometown papers.

Too bad the prick isn't up for re-election sooner.

"Mr. Witness, you'll notice from the fistfight breaking out in the corner of the room that prior witnesses Jeff Carter, Rocks, and Empire of Jeff have some issues with the earlier statistical analysis regarding the ratio of hate crimes per population size. Can you take this opportunity to clarify your estimates of the relative sizes of the U.S Jewish and U.S.Muslim populations, and on the numerical levels of the hate crimes being directed at each? At this point, additional anecdotal evidence would also be welcome, at least until we wait for the U.S.Marshals to pry those three apart."

Fuck 'em.

I enjoy the happy luxury of detesting my enemies.

Saw a CNN commercial making this an issue of Freedom of religion v. fear of terror.

Islam kills apostates, blasphemers, dishonorable women, and so on. This is accepted sharia law.

So it's more accurately termed freedom of religion v. a religion which opposes freedom of religion and all our basic post-Enlightenment freedoms. Hell, many Muslims reject the Treaty of Westphalia.

Durbin is a contemptible piece of treasonous excrement.

Well that's just what it is, man, because if you don't have the freedom to impose your religion on the unwilling, then, like, in what sense are you truly free?

91 I've got your civil rights right here.

Your ability to exercise your rights will come to an end when your actions, methods, or pattern of behavior appears TO ME to be on a collision course with my life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness. I PERSONALLY will bring to an end any and all efforts on your part to continue on this course.

More concisely:
Your rights stop where they encounter mine.

OR
as we say in Tejas:
Come and take it.

92 Certainly lends weight to the charge that the Progressives are in bed with Muslim Extremists.
