An Open Letter to Mostafa Tabatabainejad

Muslim-American sister Afroz shares a spoken word piece inspired by the tasing by police of a Muslim student at UCLA in the library there. She is at an antiwar rally in support of Lt. Ehren Watada, outside Ft Lewis near Seattle where he is being court marshalled for being the loudest outspoken soldier against the war. For more info visit www.thankyoult.org

I'm a photographer that travels all around our great big world but I was not allowed to go into MECCA because I'm not a muslim...In fact everywhere I went I was discriminated against so maybe you out to take a look at the way your people treat our people. There are millions of muslims happy in the USA

Wow, great, now write a poem about the Canadian journalist who was beaten to death while in police custody back in your wonderful Iran!

@VikingRaider He settled out of court for two hundred thousand dollars ! Mashallah !

@MsBaystater I got a buck ($) you don't know what country her 'roots' are in - Now hurry back to the TV, Fox News has discovered ANOTHER terrorist cell in Boise, Idaho ! !

@hamzah938 i'm sorry, but what's your point?

[hamzah938]

@nka82 Only 1 out of 5 Muslims are of arabic origin. So when someone uses the term 'islamic terrorist', they insuate a connection between over a BILLION people,.....and maybe 400 people! Al-Qaeda is a fabrication of the CIA, as was Osama bin Laden.

When I went to UCLA (1970), the students would have rushed those pigs and we would have really got the party started! Times have changed my friends, and soon you will get much more than 'tased' for being in the library. LIVE FREE OR DIE

Can you write me a poem about muslim nations executing gay people for being gay?

[MsBaystater]

Just wondering. Do you have any poems that portray your rage at Islamic terrorists? At Al Qaeda? At Bin Laden? Or any of the other monsters that have given rise to Islamophobia? Would LOVE to hear those!

[MsBaystater]

Cry me a river. One of yours got tazed. Well, guess what? People of all colors and creeds get tazed in this country every day. I'm not a big fan of the practice myself. But it irks me when someone like you, whose roots are in a fascist country where people are executed for merely showing up at a demonstration, has the nerve to make it all about Mustafa's being Muslim. Stop with the whining victim act. Mustafah does NOT represent all of Islam. I'm hoping you don't either, you foolish girl.

I hope for your sake, this guy wasn't advertently ignoring the officers orders to leave the library.

[nka82]

have you even ever met a muslim woman from another country?

what an ignoramus you are.
