Lileks: Speaker at Minneapolis Muslim conference "expressed in rather . . . forceful terms the depth of Muslim oppression in America"

This is likely the "religious conference" that was attended by the six imams who were subsequently removed from their airplane. From the Lileks blog, with thanks to LGF:

Hmmm. According to the TV, the men said they were in town for “a religious conference.” Interesting. I was talking today with a guy I know; he’d been at a suburban hotel for an annual company sales meeting. The regional manager was having a difficult time speaking, since the party in the next conference room was praying about as loudly as is humanly possible, and had followed the prayers with a speaker who expressed in rather . . . forceful terms the depth of Muslim oppression in America. Unless there are several Muslim religious conferences going on in Minneapolis at the moment, I’d guess that might be the one. If so, I wonder if the reported truculence of the men might have been influenced, or at least reinforced, by the speaker. Whoever he was.

At least you'd have the bar pretty much to yourself.

Cry babies! don't they know what real opression is? don't most of them remember where they came from?

It's not enough to escape the violence and oppression of the Muslim World by coming into the West, but they want to bring all the good stuff they left behind with them too?

Muslim oppression? Yeah, I have to agree with that. I see a lot of them with a crescent sown to their coats. Just like those Jews in Nazi Germany.
Terrible thing when I see that;
always brings tears to my eyes. How can we let such a tragic thing go on in the US?

Of course Muslims are oppressed in America. The fact that America has no Sharia laws (yet), women are allowed the freedom to show their faces, drive and (gasp) marry who ever they want, the fact that Infidels are allowed to speak freely (for now, anyway) and show their Infidel faith, Muslims aren't allowed to stone people to death for having sex outside marriage, all these things clearly indicate the depths of suffering forced upon the poor helpless Muslims who only wish to kill, enslave or focibly convert non-Muslims.

Imagine being a Muslim man and not be able to beat the tar out of your women like you did back in the old country. Truly, the depths of oppression a Muslim must endure in America is shameful.

(Sarcasm off)

Not to mention that guy who got jailed for having a slave.

You know, he never would have done time in the land of the...well, not free and home of the...well, not brave. You know: Saudi Arabia.

"Land of the unfree and home of the grave"? (Grave as in solemn, although the other works too.)

Nah. Too kitschy.

Tape these meetings. Follow these men. Make them aware that it is not only the police and the FBI who make it their business to monitor them. It is all of us, all the time.

Muslims are OPPRESSED IN AMERICA???????

Surely they jest.

Most American PEOPLE would be more than happy to give the Muslims in their country a free one-way plane trip to the Islamic nation of their choice!

Where else are they gonna get a deal like that!

Heck, we'll even pack their bags free of charge and throw in free shuttle transportation to the airport.

I'll bet they claim cheap too.

Wonder if they want cheese with that whine(wine)?

Oh, crumbs. These goons glorify a pedophile, blame the JOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZ for 9/11, and have brought back chattel slavery to our fair land. Deport them by last year.


Last night on the "Michael Coren" show up here in Canada , there was a 3rd part to a series on Islam and Christianity which was intended to show the differences and teach
the respect for pluralism in canada or non-Muslim Nations .

Two of the 4 guests were self-professed speakers for Islam and the Quran , and after the one hour of proding these guys about the Popes citing of "What did Muhammad bring that was NEW to the world" , I witnessed the usual changing of the topic and the overt lies to demonize "The people of the book" as pagans that have no God any more and Muhammad gave us the Unity and re-connect to Allah.
I DID NOT hear one peice of evidence that proved the Quran was from God or how it adding anything to mans pre-existing knowledge , BUT , I did hear the rants about the "Crusades" and how Hitler was a Christian and I guess this was to exalt islam as murdering less civilians than other faiths .

As for these two Muslims defending the good traits of islam and Muhammad they used the "Out of context" excuse for violence and murder by Muhammad along with explaing how the 700 jews beheaded by Muhammaed's thugs as an act cause by the Jews that failed to submit to Islams rules for war , the one statement that had Mr.Coren shaking his head was when one of the men drew a moral equivalance to oppression of Christians in the ME or death to converts by apostasy laws was when ALjazeera-English was being denied to Muslims in the West.

I almost fell off my seat, the beheading of apostates or non-Muslims is equal in oppression to Cable Companies choosing to not carry one particular Pay-Channel that caters to Arabs and Muslims in the West ?

www.michaelcoren.com has the email link if you want to opine or confirm this , I will say that past guests that can't defend islam in a civil manner have refused to return and post rude comments on their Websites which blame Coren as if he tricked them into telling the truth .
I think the swamp is drained enough to see exactly what these killers look like and how many of them are in the water with only the eyes showing.

BTW, I'm think of using a stop-watch for Islamic based shows and see who holds the record
for dragging in the USA and "The Jews" for all the ills of Islam.
Last night when one of the Muslims finally got his turn on the round-table it only took just over a minute to link the USA and Israel to current violence by muslims, so I'm not sure if I go by the persons actual time or the Show itself
for anyone making the link.

His achievement in the battle for the survival of free speech and dignity of man will remain as a fundamental monument to the love of, and the self-sacrifice for, liberty.”
Bat Ye’or
