Stop Calling Terrorism a Hate Crime

by David Badash on October 3, 2011 in Bigotry Watch,Discrimination,News,Politics,Religion A gay Tennessee couple was reportedly attacked — physically and verbally assaulted — by a Christian Pastor and his deacons to prevent the same-sex couple from entering the Pastor’s church. Sadly, the pastor is the father of one of the two members of the gay couple. Also sadly, the church members and bystanders did not lift a finger to help the co ...

safety pin. A 21-year-old woman from Ann Arbor, Michigan, pleaded guilty to making a false report after she fabricated a fake hate crime following the election of President Trump. Halley Bass originally told the police that a strange man had pricked her face with a pin in downtown Ann Arbor on Nov. 15., but in reality, she had scratched herself with her own "safe space" safety pin after "becoming upset" in her women's literature class at the University of Michigan. According to the ...

a political party...they're not. They're a cult. Facts and reality do not matter to these people. They've morphed what was once a political party and blended it with some distortion of Christianity where they support policies that are complete contradictions of the teachings of Jesus Christ. They've convinced millions that the best way to achieve economic prosperity is through facilitating more power and wealth towards the greedy at the expense of everyone else. T ...

As with most of these incidents, it always seems to come out after the fact that people - whether coworkers, acquaintances, etc. - were aware of something suspicious but were afraid to say anything, for a variety of reasons - but one of the main reasons is LEGAL LIABILITY, especially with respect to workplace situations. The United States is the most litigious society in the world, with far more lawyers per 1000 population than any other. These lawyers, for the most part, are just w ...

You can be anywhere now and a radical islamist/terrorist can attack you for your religion and beliefs. This is a crazy world we live in. I just hope that we as people can be vigilant through all of this and speak up even if they are family, friends or neighbors because in the end we all need each other in some respect. I also believe that we should use profiling if necessary if it means the safety of people in America. Forget about political correctness. ...

Warning for the bloodthirsty, this may be a little more real and cold-blooded than even you care for. We're also coming up quickly on over 3000 innocents killed in our drone attacks, a milestone in that innocent deaths overseas will increasingly exceed those 9/11 deaths we've used as a justification for this approach. Note Obama's "Terrorism Tuesdays" devoted to fighting this new kind of war that replaces conventional action and mostly lets our kids stay home. From the Washington ...

Toledo, Spain (CNN) — The stunning postcard-perfect vista surrounding Misael Lopez in this town about one hour from Madrid belies his constant anxiety, even fear. That's because the former legal adviser to the Venezuelan Embassy in Iraq is revealing secrets he says his government doesn't want disclosed. "I'm concerned about my safety and my family's safety everywhere I go," Lopez said as he walked the cobble-stoned streets of Toledo. Lopez, 41, says he reported w ...

Wow. Watershed moment in history, bringing Arab, Jewish and Christian worlds together in the battle - good versus evil, plain and simple. Challenged all to do their part. Anyone who wasn't gobsmacked wasn't listening - or has an anti-Trump agenda that simply cannot recognize anything he does that has a positive impact on our world. I am not one of such people. My agenda is caring only for the future of my children. I wish now that I had voted for him an ...

I got to wondering once again what is behind some of the behaviors we see on a lot of forums, so I went looking. This link discusses one model, explained by a former FBI behavioral analyst, that is easy to apply to on-line forum discussions, where behaviors would, of course, play out in the first four stages. (The discussion on skinhead groups can be skipped over, if desired, with the actual 7 stages explained below.) It was the last section, though, on how indulging in hate tends to play out ...

By Susan Crabtree - 01/02/10 06:00 AM ET Republicans are pressing their line of attack on the issue of national security in the wake of the attempted Christmas Day bombing. One day after Democrats excoriated Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, for using the near takedown of a passenger jet in a fundraising appeal for his campaign for governor, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) took a page from from Hoesktra’s playbook ...

Immigrants Responsible For Drop In Crime?May 26, 2010For the third year in a row, the rate of violent crime in the United States has declined. While criminologists study the drop and look for explanations, Harvard sociologist Robert Sampson has introduced one theory -- he says the influx of new immigrants, who tend to engage in fewer violent crimes, has made America safer. Guest host Tony Cox talks with Sampson about his theory and why immigrant communities are relatively less violent. Transc ...
