Muslim leaders in eastern Idaho were deeply offended by Islamophobic statements contained in a Monday newsletter distributed by the Bonneville County Republican Central Committee.

In the newsletter, an article entitled “Islam in Idaho” warns that Muslims are “infiltrating” the state. It claims Muslims have been taught to “be ready to rise up and kill” non-Muslims and to be “two-faced,” in order to deceive people into believing their intentions are good.

The article called on newsletter readers to “demand that our lawmakers and law enforcers pay attention and ascertain whether or not there is a potential threat.”

“Please, don’t wait until something bad happens,” the article later said.

1. Please understand that

SE Idaho is owned and operated by a specific cult-like religion whose biggest enemy is any other religion. And to them Rmoney is a saint.

2. Sounds like the extremists are engaging in the fine art of projection

Projection is the psychological phenomenon where someone denies some aspect of their behavior or attitudes and assumes instead that others are doing or thinking so. (wiki)

3. These are the fringiest paranoids who are absolutely convinced

that the rest of the paranoids are organizing in a giant conspiracy against them.

6. By no means all

Maine can deliver. Of course, they're the East Coast version of teabagger hell.

7. And Maine potatoes

are much better than the Idaho spuds. They are creamier and taste better. Besides, Idaho spuds are watered with contaminated with elemental phosphate tailings from mining by the Wyoming border and the INEL DOE facility (nuclear waste dump) in the eastern Snake River Plain. They probably figure that if they can poison so much of the world population that it's not only gawd's will but makes more room for them whose edict is to go forth and multiply in mass quantities.
