In this, the year of our subjugation, if it had been a Muslim that was attacked, heads would be rolling....
The young man charged had worked at that mall kiosk for a few years without incident. This seems to have been a completely unprovoked act. What does that tell you?
Whoops, sorry -- this isn't backlash against the poor, innocent Muslims being terrorized and victimized by the thousands after the Fort Hood Nothing-To-Do-With-Islam attack. This is just the familiar Muslim backlash against non-Muslims, which will increasingly be a feature of American life in the coming years. Nothing to see here. Move along.
"Man arrested for 'anti-Christian' mall disturbance: Kiosk employee allegedly tore a crucifix from someone's neck," by Emily West for the Danville Express, November 10 (thanks to Bob):
Police arrested 22-year-old Abdul Walid Hamid of Hayward on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 4, after he reportedly tore a crucifix from a person's neck and scared others at Stoneridge Shopping Center.
Hamid, an employee at a mall kiosk near Starbucks, has been charged with battery, terrorist threats and grand theft.
According to reports, Hamid was yelling "Allah is power" and "Islam is great" while holding a pen in a fist over his head. Witnesses said he shouted anti-Christian comments, said police.
Lt. Mike Elerick of the Pleasanton Police Department said the man was not provoked and didn't threaten violence, but he committed robbery when he grabbed and broke a crucifix off someone's neck.
Coworkers told police that Hamid's actions were out of the ordinary and that he had worked at the kiosk for years.
You mean, he didn't do this daily? What a relief!










And this isn't a hate crime because...???

The Bay Area MSM is so competent and objective that I now have to get my local news from Pam in New York. I can't find any reference to this incident in the local major newspapers. The Bay Area News Group owns the San Jose Mercury News, the Hayward Daily Review, the Oakland Tribune, and other local papers. I searched their websites and found nothing. SFGate.com, the online arm of the San Francisco Chronicle? Nada. The Danville Express is an independent community publication in a town 30 minutes away from Hayward, in another county. God forbid the politcally correct, liberal media in Alameda County should actually report on something that local residents might find interesting. Noooo, must be politically correct and not arose the sleeping public giant.

Malls: They're all "gun-free zones".
Translation: Full of victims zones.

From the Article
The obligatory moral equivalence dreck:
Elerick [Lt in the Pleasanton Police Department] said much of the man's speech was similar to the loud scene of the Christian activists who frequent downtown Pleasanton. The big difference, however, was that Hamid was on private property and had physical contact with someone.
At least they had enough balls to arrest him:
Hamid was reportedly not cooperating and was arrested by force and taken to John George Psychiatric Pavilion in San Leandro for an evaluation. Police said the case would be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office for review and possible charges.
Hamid was arraigned Tuesday morning at Alameda Superior Court in Pleasanton on charges of battery, grand theft, exhibition of a deadly weapon and a possible hate crime. Deputy District Attorney Ronda Theisen requested his bail remain at $27,000.
Good damn thing. I did not expect to read on that he was arrested. There should be a national watch-list for soldiers of Allah like this one. I think Hamid just volunteered to go on the list!

Don't worry. After the expert Cair witness testifies as to his momentary mental problems, he will be released with damages.

wait, follow the lead of the greatest President ever (in his own mind) and don't rush to judgment.
Let the games begin.
Think the MSM talking heads are going to spin right off their necks spinning this and whats to follow.
They will blame the victim for wearing a cross in plain view in public, just as they have warned priests not to wear their collar.

I expect Dershowitz to sue under the new Hate Crimes Law as should Hasan be prosecuted in addition to his Court Marshall.
I wonder to what church she belongs. They could provide a proper
suit.

Political correctness and political apathy will be the downfall of the western way of life. Look at how we, as a nation, have forgotten 9/11 in such a short period of time. We try to be a kinder, gentler society. The Islamic fundamentalists see kindness as weakness. They also believe it is not only acceptable but a tactic to lie and deceive the infidel...Which folks, is us! I lived and worked throughout the middle east. I studied the language and culture at the Foreign Service Institute. They ALL truly believe that the killing of infidels is a duty. Don't believe me???...Look at the word "Fitnah". Defined as a crime worse than murder....Look at the celebrations in the streets after 9/11. Look at the glee with which they aplaud the Ft Hood terror attack. Make no mistake..It was a terror attack. There will be more.
