Calling the lynch mob:

Sunil Sharma at Dissident Voice discusses recent postings on American Jihad calling for the death of bloggers empathetic to Muslims here.

A short exerpt from the original post:

The US Government is not listening and allowing this treason to continue unabated so citizen militias must lead the charge to eliminate this threat to America now:

TO ARMS!

TO ARMS!!

TO ARMS!!!

* WE NEED TO LYNCH THESE HOMOSEXUAL MUSLIM SUCKING PIGS!

* WE NEED CITIZEN FIRING SQUADS AND IMMEDIATE ACTION NOW TO SAVE THE USA!!!

* WE MUST BRING AMERICAN JUSTICE TO THESE TRAITOROUS BASTARDS NOW!!!

The Islamofascist enemy is not only at the gates –

* HE IS THE ARAB AT THE LOCAL DOLLAR STORE

* HE IS THE PALESTINIAN AT THE LOCAL COLLEGE

* HE IS KURT NIMO and MIKE WHITNEY . . . . .”

It's not too out of the ordinary for that blog, a quick browse finds calls for the lynching of Mexican Americans in multiple posts:


What Made America Great?

WAR AND VIOLENCE - AND WE MUST EMBRACE IT AS OUR FATHERS DID NOW - WE MUST FIGHT!

* WE NEED MARSHALS WITH GUNS ON THEIR HIPS!

* WE NEED TO LYNCH THESE WETBACK RUSTLERS AT HIGH NOON!!

* WE NEED CITIZEN FIRING SQUADS FOR WETBACKS, LIBERALS AND MUSLIM TERRORISTS!!!


This brings me back to the a question I've asked before, "What makes someone an American?" Is this fellow Chicagoan, who spews so much hate, somehow more American than someone who happened to be born elsewhere and snuck across the border so they could work long hours contributing to the country?

I don't believe so. But I do hope he is not silenced. I think it is important for people to see the depth of hatred and racism within the anti-immigration, anti-Muslim community in the country.
