"Severed pig’s head thrown at Philadelphia mosque door."-Washington Post.

Inexcusable. Also inevitable.

"Islamic State Presence in U.S. "the new normal," FBI Director Says-"Los Angeles Times.

FBI Director, whoever you are, this is going to get real abnormal if that's the new normal. Americans will not stand for that. If something like Paris happens in the U.S. the entire Muslim community in the U.S. will be in danger. There are a lot of guns in America and there will be massacres of good, peaceful, American Muslims. If that is true, thanks for warning us, now go protect American Muslims! If it is not true and you put out that statement to "condition" Americans in case of an attack? Then you done fucked up. You have pointed all of the guns in America at a small, good, peaceful subgroup of America, one that is embattled, vulnerable, and scared shitless already. (Publocc, Nov. 19)

"Muslim Americans: Current political climate worse than after 9/11."-CNN

See! See! Maybe you know some Muslims, maybe you do not. There is not one Muslim in America that I know that is other than an upstanding citizen. The Pakistani owner of the food mart near my house, humble, hard-working man. The Burka-clad cashier at the CVS, nice, respectful woman. Two lawyers, one Iranian, one...I forget, nice guys, good guys, two Iranians that I went to college with, one of them named Arsalan, I still remember--two of the funniest guys I ever met. If there is a "problem" in the Muslim community in America I am unaware of it. I un-vituperate no previous vituperation of Islam. There is a problem with Islam! Islam "as it is practiced and preached" in America, no problem. That is why "See! See!" ISIS is in every state in the union according to our FBI director. It is the "new normal," he said in July. If that statement is factual then the entire Muslim community in America is in danger of physical violence. There are no "good" ISIS members, CAN we agree on that?  Even President Obama paints with a broad brush there, labeling them "killers." Then why, WHY, is not membership in ISIS a crime, as is membership in the Nazi Party? It is named the Islamic State. So, in all fifty states all practitioners of Islam are now getting painted in ISIS black. To tolerate the Islamic State in America is to un-tolerate Muslim Americans. Americans

I tell you, this is a dangerous time. This is Public Occurrences. (Nov. 20).
