I’m going to be traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday in the US and not blogging at all (not taking my computer), inshallah.
For Muslim converts who observe Thanksgiving with non-Muslim relatives, I’m wondering if anybody is anticipating that the recent Fort Hood attack will be, conversationally speaking, the 800 lb. gorilla in the room. Will you be put “on the spot” and expected to declaim about Maj. Hasan? Will you feel pressure to ‘represent’ for the Muslim team with big bold exclamations? Do you have relatives that still get their back up about your conversion or who are uneasy about it and who will feel licensed by Fort Hood to dump it on you again?
Might be a good year to volunteer at the food pantry instead.

Here’s a reply that Americans, who have allowed muslims to exist in our country for 230 years, might appreciate:
” muslims abhor violence. We, as muslims living in a Judao-Christian based country are thankful for two centuries of hospitality. We western muslims apologize for the Munich massacre in 1972, The Athens airport bombing, the Rome airport bombings, the Achille Lauro slaughter, the Kohbar towers massacre, Pan Am flight 103, the US marine barracks bombing, The USS Cole, Madrid, Bali, the senseless slaughter of kids waiting for Pizzas, or riding on buses in Israel, the video-taped beheading of Daniel Pearl………..(all before the invasion of Iraq, by the way)….for these crimes we as muslims living in your country apologize. ”
That might be a good start.

This is what you get Aziz for linking from Dean’s world.
It is not your country nimrod. It was your country while Bush robbed and plundered and raped the constitution. That time is over. Crawl back under your slimy rock.

No. In my circle, the extended family or friends who are douchebags like infidel here get the pat answer: “Politics.”
To begin with the role of America around the world in the past 120 years, attempting to explain how there are two sides to every story, that fratracide has occured in the military atleast a half dozen times, listed here, the most recent where 5 soldiers were killed by another soldier in May of this year, but never did religion come to question. All of this takes too long to discuss and people have generally made their minds up anyway. “After Thanksgiving, we can get into all that,” I say.
Right wing phoney nativism reminds me a little of the Gangs of New York only these fox new zombies have no idea whose proxy war they are fighting like unpaid mercs: corporate greed and the upper 1%. Bottom line: you are all idiots!

Pretty much the response I expected from a primitive kook. All you’ve got is ‘Bush’.
News flash: Bush was in college when moozlims were blowing up people in Europe.
Bush was playing governor of Texas when moozlims were busy slaughtering innocent kids.
Bush is no longer president….you may have missed that subtle detail.
And there is no ‘other side’ . Before moozlims went collectively insane, our founding fathers actually welcomed moozlims to practice in the New World. Only when
And by the way, it is MY country. My father fought for it. I fought for it, and we’ll fight you next.
Hajji isn’t welcome here anymore. We don’t trust you, you are under suspicion, and we will start pushing you out. We will not hire you. We will not sell or rent to you. We will not do business with you. You will be scorned, and sent back to the countries you’ve already ruined. Go drink your oil, eat your sand. You will never overcome America’s adaptability and problem solving ability, and moozlims are the current problem.
As another poster said here, the West is excellent at killing. The west has turned it into a cold, hard science.
