Detroit Muslim Stabs People At Bus Stop For Being Non-Muslim

The FBI is trying to determine whether the stabbing attack on two people at a Detroit bus stop by a Muslim man- because the victims were not Muslim- was a domestic terrorism or a hate crime.

Police have arrested the suspect on attempted murder charges but say that religion was behind the attack of a 52-year-old Detroit man and his 51-year-old friend who tried to intervene.

Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins said 39-year-old Terrence Thomas thought it was unacceptable that the victims were not Muslims.

"The suspect began stabbing one of the victims," Hawkins said of Thomas, of Detroit, who ran from the scene down Greenfield.

Thomas had two knives when police arrested him. He was later charged with attempted murder.

Both victims were treated and released from a nearby hospital.

Federal investigators are getting involved because the attack is believed to be a hate crime.

"It could constitute a hate crime," said Andy Arena, former Detroit FBI chief. "We have to see what really motivated this guy. You call it home-grown radicals, jihadis, this is really the biggest threat throughout the world right now.

"They are on the Internet, social media, they are hearing this message - and they are becoming radicalized."
Yeah, Thomas was in the possession of drugs and considered mentally unstable, but all someone like that needs is a religion that is front and center in the news on a daily basis to justify his own personal jihad.

Of course, CAIR has weighed in on the attack.
"I don't think there should be a litmus test for crazy Muslims," said Dawud Walid, executive director of Council on American Islamic Relations. "Or as if all Muslims are motivated by religion."

Walid's organization CAIR which fights for Islamic rights, said if this incident is ethnic intimidation, Thomas should be charged accordingly. But he does not think Muslims are more vulnerable when it comes to radicalization.

"Anyone who has not health issues on the fringe can be radicalized, be it, either in a street gang or joining something like an international extremist organization," Walid said. "In this case we have to wait and see what the facts are."
More like religious intimidation, which some Muslims are very good at, including CAIR itself.

And imagine the outrage if this had been the reverse. An attack on Muslims.

Home Depot Gets Muslim Sensitivity Training From CAIR In Dearborn, Michigan Store

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is now conducting 'cultural awareness training" to companies like Home Depot.  Yes, indeed, they provided training to a Home Depot in Dearborn, Michigan recently. Granted, Dearborn, Michigan could be considered the Muslim capital of the United States, housing the largest Mosque in North America, but why have they not assimilated into American culture? Should other religions follow suit?  How about Hindu or Buddhist awareness sessions.

From their website:

The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations yesterday provided cultural awareness training to employees at a Home Depot store in Dearborn, Mich.

CAIR-MI Executive Director Dawud Walid and CAIR-MI Safe Spaces Coordinator Warda Kalim discussed issues relating to customer interactions and modesty in Islam and highlighted religious accommodations concerns of Muslim employees.

CAIR-MI has provided similar trainings in the past to other Home Depot locations in Southeastern Michigan.

"We welcome such opportunities to engage Home Depot and other business establishments to better serve their Muslim customers and accommodate the cultural competency of their Muslim employees," said CAIR-MI Executive Director Dawud Walid.

CAIR has helped resolve a number of similar cases involving prayer in the workplace and offers a booklet, called "An Employer's Guide to Islamic Religious Practices," to help corporate managers gain a better understanding of Islam and Muslims.

There is even a link to that detailed employer's guide to Islamic religious practices, which includes information on religious holidays, food, clothing, demeanour , and prayer. It's worth a peek. They're demanding a bucket load of concessions. And it's only going to get worse.

CAIR'S Double Standards In MI Public Schools- Muslim Prayers On Campus, No Bible Class Off Campus

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has been sticking its nasty little paws into the Michigan public school system, demonstrating just how unfair they play. Not that they care, as long as it benefits Muslims.

Last October, CAIR took great offense (so what else is new) to a Detroit school handing out permission slips for children to attend an off-campus Bible studies course at a local Baptist church. Off-site, mind you, not on school grounds. So CAIR's Michigan Executive Director Dawud Walid filed a complaint:

“School staff and teachers are not to serve as advocates for one particular religion or congregation within a religion by passing out slips inviting parents to give permission for their children to attend religious instruction. . . According to the United States Supreme Court, the First Amendment clearly requires that public school students and their parents are never given the impression that their school/school district prefers a specific religion over others or sanctions religion in general."
None of their business what schools do to facilitate off-site activities, but CAIR demanded an apology, and  got one.

Fast forward to April of this year, and those promoters of fairness criticized the Dearborn public schools for not accommodating prayer time for Muslim students ON campus. After filing another formal complaint, those kiddies who want to pray at school will now be able to do so.  And since Dearborn caved, CAIR now has its eyes set on other public school systems in Michigan. Watch the same thing eventually happen all over this nation.

If they want student-led Muslim prayer time on school grounds, then other religious faiths should be allowed to do so as well.

Hypocrites!

CAIR Wants U.S. Prisons To Be Hijab-Friendly

The Council on American-Islamic Relations' latest target is the U.S. prison system, and it looks like they're winning. At least in Michigan. But this time it has nothing to do with food, but rather with the Islamic head scarf.

CAIR wants:

 a uniform “hijab-friendly” policy to allow Muslim women to keep their head cover during detention and photos in all local and federal U.S. prisons.
“I’m working on several pending cases in different states... and I’m in touch with an attorney for the Department of Justice’s Office of Civil Rights,” Nadhira al-Khalili, legal counsel for CAIR, told Al Arabiya.

It's official now in Novi, Michigan- Muslim women are allowed to wear their hijabs while jailed or while having their mug shots taken.

Per CAIR'S Dawud Walid:

“If hijab is allowed in the military, and U.S. driving licenses permit women IDs with hijab, then the same logic can be applied,” Walid said. “Hijab doesn’t impede the identity of women.”

The rest here.

I still find it incredibly ironic that Muslims who are religious enough to eat halal and wear hijab somehow find themselves in jail. They're lucky they aren't living under Shariah because Shariah law doesn't look too kindly on criminal activity.

Michigan Gun Store Caves To CAIR- Removes Terrorist Gun Targets For Sale

Thompson Targets sells various gun shooting targets and frames including zombie clowns, rednecks,  and a Wall Street type. They used to sell a skeleton target "Crazy Bones" dressed like Osama Bin Laden carrying an AK-47, until CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) stepped in.

It all started with Target Sports, a shop in Royal Oak, Michigan, that sold the turbaned terrorist targets:

"The Detroit Free Press reports that Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI), voiced his concern to Target Sports about the gun-range targets, fearing they may cause gun owners to view any Muslim in traditional garb as an enemy."

The owner complied and stopped selling them.

Walid then set his sights on Thompson Targets based in Ohio, urging them to just stop making them.

“I had a spirited conversation with a family member of the owner,” Walid told the paper. “He told me we’re at war and we were trying to kill Osama bin Laden. I told him there are people here who may dress that way and they aren’t like Osama bin Laden."

Maybe red necks, clowns and Wall Street types should lobby Thompson to get rid of those ones as well, since gun owners might view men dressed in overalls, clown or dress suits as enemies, too.

So far, Thompson hasn't caved and still has the "Crazy Bones" terrorist for sale.

Besides removing Crazy Bones from its store, Target Sports has also changed policies for its shooting range. According to Huffpo, several people committed suicide at the shooting range- and one attempted to- with guns rented at the shop. The rental policies have changed: individuals must now  possess a gun if they are there on their own. Apparently "every one of the suicides or attempts involved an individual coming in by themself without a gun."
