Colorado Sheriff's Joke Causes Muslim Woman's 'hurt feelings'

Some quick comments:

Oh here we go again - a poor muslim suffering from hurt feelings - oh the inhumanity of it all!!!!!  Now a voluntary Christmas tree trimming party is "politically incorrect" and Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden's joke has caused hurt feelings to a muslim woman who chooses to remain unnamed!

You know what I think is politically incorrect? - having people come into or live in the USA (or Great Britain or any other Christian nation) and tell us our Judeo/Christian traditions are 'politically incorrect' then go on to force our public schools and buildings to be rebuilt to accomodate their medieval religion/customs with footbaths, special toilets they can squat on, separate swimming/pool times for boys/men and girls/women, halal meals, and prayer rooms that are quickly turned into mosques thus no other faith can use it - otherwise the room are defiled- etc etc/ 

Then this woman goes on to spout the typical, over-used twaddle:

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.

Oh really??

Why there are 1.5 BILLION  muslims in the world  including the supposedly small number of extremists - so the extremists are clearly outnumbered by moderate muslims therefore why don't the moderates eradicate those who do not represent them and threaten their countries and people? - those who cause bloodshed and terrorism?  Instead these "mainstream" muslims trot out the above statement (or facsimile) as some kind of shield that protects them from the truth & reality.  Ask a muslim man or woman the above question and don't hold your breath waiting for an answer.

Especially when the true feelings of many muslims is voiced again by this unnamed 'volunteer" who also suffers from unverified "threats" (from who??) :

 "an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect."

Surely US Marines helping to eliminate the "muslim extremists" would be welcome by 'moderate' muslims who are angry these 'extremists' are "hyjacking their religion & killing their people". 

But no - they/she view them as one of her own = muslim............

So which one is it?

Hear the doublespeak?

Sheriff's Muslim jokes draw concerns

Article:

A volunteer for the nonprofit Muslims Against Hunger group is not upset Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden plans to hold a Christmas tree-trimming party - an event Alderden proudly calls politically incorrect.

But the woman, a Muslim who lives in Northern Colorado, is concerned about a comment Alderden made while giving a speech at a Marine Corps Ball last month. The sheriff briefly posted a transcript of the speech on his Web site.

In the speech, Alderden joked about bumper stickers and highlighted one which read, "U.S. Marines: Travel agents to Allah."

The speech has been removed from the sheriff's Web site, and he declined to comment about the speech.

9NEWS also asked a dozen former Marines who heard his speech for their thoughts. None of them wanted to be quoted.

The woman, whose name is not being published because she has received threats, said an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect.

"Anytime you put someone down, whether it's for religion or race or anything, it doesn't just hurt the individual, it actually hurts the community where we live, and it's really not time to start doing things like this," she said.

The Muslim-American community contributes much to society, she said, and she also pointed out Muslim-American soldiers have died in the current wars while fighting for the United States.

"We're proud to be in this country," she said.

Cases like that of Nidal Malik Hasan, the man accused of shooting fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, are the exception rather than the rule, she said.

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.

I wonder if this pious moslimeh raised such a schtunk and condemned so vehemently the terroristic killings by that moslem soldier in Fort Hood?

Somehow, I think not...

[Dinah Lord]

Until the "Muslim-American community" becomes the American community they can bite me.

Why do people put up with this mooslim double talk? I firmly believe that there are no "moderate" muslims. They are all extremists! Was it an extremist muslim who ran over his daughter & friend here in Phoenix not long ago? Was it extremist mooslim parents again here in Phoenix who disowned their 8 year old daughter who was gang raped? THERE ARE NO MODERATE MUSLIMS!! WAKE UP! THEY ARE ALL CULT FOLLOWING RELIGIOUS FANATICS. Can anyone tell me when was the last time any mooslim has contributed anything to the human race? ANYONE? I thought not! I am sick and tired of hearing about how they are always offended and discriminated against. Unless some mooslim has made a serious contribution to the human race - go away and just shut the F@#K UP!

Here's 3 examples of what islam has contributed to society in Thailand.

1: Guards and scanners at the entrance of every mass transit system and major shopping malls so BOMBS can't be smuggled in.

2: Transparent or see-through public garbage cans, so BOMBS can't be hidden in them.

3: 1 inch deep public ashtrays, so BOMBS can't be hidden in them.

So you see, islam IS really making contributions to civilized society. I can hardly wait for their next contribution.

[TomkoKubianca]

I forgot to mentions; Most 7-Eleven shops have completely removed even the transparent trash cans altogether just to avoid being a future BOMB site. So you step out of the 7-Eleven with your fudge-cicle in hand and start looking for somewhere to throw the wrapper then it occurs to you; "oh right! 7-Eleven is a no-BOMB zone". Thank you islam!

You will all be tracked and killed. You are not real Christians and must face your maker to be judged.
