Anyone concerned about real violence on 9/11?

[wookie72]

I'm very concerned that something is going to happen on 9/11. And I don't think it'll come from Muslims...

1. No.

2. It only happened once during the rein of GWB the War Criminal.

3. and yet people are a lot more pissed off these days

with a president they think is Muslim... Plus the "mosque" and the Koran burning...

4. No more than any of the previous anniversaries. (nt)

[jpak]

5. No - but there will be plenty of racist teabaggers howling in the TeeVee

yup

[no_hypocrisy]

6. This year's anniversary won't get a lot of play IMO b/c it falls on a Saturday

when viewers and listeners take the week-end off from news.

Next year, much more attention b/c 9-11 will fall on a Sunday (http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?year=2011) (mixing patriotism with religion as Sunday and Church go together in the minds of Christians) and it will be the 10th anniversary. A decade is a long time.

7. Was anyone concerned in 2001? A lack of concern didn't make much of a difference on violence

8. What is your reasoning for thinking that? On what basis do you have this "feeling"?

[wookie72]

9. EMpirical observation?

I don't recall this level of islamophobia being around in previous years. A mosque being burned, the cab driver being stabbed, Korans being burned ON THE DAY, protests over the "Ground Zero Mosque," plus all the people who think that Obama is Muslim, and that this is bad...

Turn that fucker off!

12. I'm still waiting for an outbreak of violence on Pearl Harbor Day

:nuke:

[wookie72]

13. Yes, because nothing bad happened to Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbour

No wait...

[emilyg]

14. No.

15. Didn't they sign promises not to sue/retaliate against Bush?

Remember when that self serving pig decided to steal the donations and turn it into shut up or no money for you?
