The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on law enforcement authorities in Texas to investigate an alleged assault on a Muslim in that state as a hate crime. Texas has a long history of looking the other way regarding hate crimes most notoriously when then Governor Bush refused to consider dragging a black man to his death in Jasper, Texas a hateful act. Texas is also known as the state that initially refused the federal government’s Emancipation Proclamation and today considers itself immune from federal mandates.
The alleged victim, a 34-year-old white convert to Islam, reported to CAIR that two former co-workers came to his Gilmer, Texas, home after midnight on Saturday and punched, choked and kicked him without provocation. During the assault, the alleged attackers reportedly used religious slurs such as, "You Muslim piece of sh*t," "Pray to Allah mother f**ker," and "You are a traitor ... We're at war with these people." At one point during the alleged assault, the victim says he felt the barrel of a gun pressed to his head.
As the attackers left, they allegedly threatened to harm him again if he called the police. He was reportedly told by one assailant, "If I can't get you, my people will." The victim has since moved out of his home in response to this threat.
The FBI and local police are investigating the incident, but local authorities have not labeled it a hate crime.
"Because of the religious slurs reportedly used during this attack, and the alleged threat to the victim's life, we urge law enforcement authorities to investigate a possible bias motive and to offer police protection," said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. "These incidents can be the unfortunate result of the crude stereotypes of Islam that President Obama rejected recently in his Cairo address."

Will this terrorist supporting CAIR call for a hate crime investigation of one of their own Muslims who killed that young recruiter?
Happy Indep - i bet they dont. he should be - but they will not do it.
Off topic but important.
I am listening to the news right now. 17 Chinese terrorists are going to Palau. Other terrorists from GITMO are going to the Bahamas.
How do I become a terrorist and get replanted with GOVERNMENT HELP no doubt, to a beautiful tropical island?
I see our brave young men and women return to America with both legs if they are lucky. They FOUGHT AGAINST THESE SAME TERRORISTS and are coming home to live as best as they can.
Does anyone believe that these brave Americans deserve LESS than the GITMO terrorists when they finish their fight?
If reports are right the Chinese terrorists are going to Palau for $200,000,000. Thats $11.76 million EACH!!!
Did they HIT THE FRICKIN LOTTERY?
This is SHAMEFUL. Obama should be impeached.
UPDATE
The Chinese "detainees" were diverted to another location.
Bermuda.
Which place would you rather go?
Before they had terrorists of course.
Thank you for posting this Mr. Moore.
