Minorities being attacked by Paranoid Majorities after they hear lies & propaganda from Nazis. Muslims being treated like Jews in Germany before WWII & the bigots forget about "Never Again" & continues the fear-mongering, generalizations, stereotyping, & outright lies against Muslims (1.8 BILLION- 99.9%+ of them Peaceful Moderates) because that is what makes bigots sell their books & shows, get power, get fame & get political power, get tons of cash from the uneducated gullible-to-hate paranoids

Only things USA Manufactures is War Propaganda, Weapons, WMDs, FBI Entrapment, Hate Propaganda, War Video Games, Funding Our Enemy, Lies, Fear, Caskets, Genocide, Bribery, Projection, False Flags, Wall-Street Scams & USA Army going around Building Bases

USA IS A PERMANENT WAR ECONOMY

Both Parties (Dems & GOP) worship Fascism, Money & Corporatism, they contain only Neocons/Zionists, they're controlled by War Industry, Bankers, Fed Reserve, AIPAC & CFR.

They have had violent riots in Xijiang province in western China. The minority group is Muslim, rather than Buddhist. The Chinese government isn't occupying these regions, any more than the US is occupying Alaska. But non-democratic countries have fear of separatist movements.

There are European muslims, and white converts.

Criticizing, mocking, or disrespecting a religion isn't racism. Calling someone from the Persion gulf a "towelhead" would be bigotry. But on youtube I've seen more anti-jew comments--just read the comments on some of the RT videos.

We have that weird preacher from Florida who protests Islam as blasphemy. While in Syria muslims burned down a Danish embassy over cartoons. Who is more disrespectful?

Islam is not a race and Hedges is an idiot

[SoberAllmanBrosFan]

Read & consider; The Chinese military/government has dehumanized, decimated, disrespected, & murdered 100s of thousands of Buddhist monks, over the yrs. The Chinese gov./military occupies Tibet & surrounding lands & murders protesters in large %s. Why havent the monks burned Cinese embassies, bombed Chinese neighborhoods, cut off Chinese civ's heads? Because Buddhism is inherently peaceful. Islam is not inherently peaceful. Look at the track record, people.

0:03 "Phobia about Islam..." -Racism

Racism NOT equal to Anti-religion (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism...) in any way possible. You my sir are racist if you think that's the case. Cause religion does not knows colors.

1:20 "Caricatures about Muslims..." -Racism

Talking about caricatures, are you kidding me, type "caricatures" in google and tell me what you see... Muslims are the last one to laugh at.

After this video all I can say is that I fear of you, caricature intelligence.

@KumarZimmerman08:

Explain your reference to color.

[KumarZimmerman08]

@StopIslamaphobia A black Muslim? Enough said.

[StopIslamaphobia]

@KumarZimmerman08:

No....WE (Muslims) in the US don't want "no go zones". What's their intended purpose? Anyone....? Please explain.

For 21+ years as a Muslim, I get alone just fine with my non-Muslim family & neighbors. They stay in their lane; me, in mine.

@StopIslamaphobia No not in America.. YET. All over Europe and England.
