“The alleged creator of the flyers said they weren’t meant to be ‘anti-Muslim,’ but designed to ‘shock and anger people’ by using the Japanese internment as a cautionary tale.”
It worked: people are indeed shocked and angered, but not, at least from the looks of this story, over the prospect of the internment of Muslims, but apparently over the fact that this fellow was so insensitive as to remind these snowflakes of a traumatic historical event.
In any case, the key point here is that absolutely no one in or around the Trump administration is proposing or contemplating proposing the internment of Muslims. This is hysterical fearmongering designed to prevent the President from taking the legal and reasonable actions he actually has proposed in order to protect Americans from jihad violence.
“Muslim Internment Style Posters Found on UCSD Campus,” by Dave Summers and Jaspreet Kaur, NBC San Diego, March 1, 2017 (thanks to CJ):
Students were outraged Wednesday after several posters were placed on the UC San Diego campus suggesting internment for Muslims. NBC 7 received information from someone claiming responsibilty who admitted the posters were meant to shock and anger residents. NBC 7’s Dave Summers reports.
It called for the evacuation of members of the Islamic faith living in San Diego County.
In part, the poster read:
“All Muslim persons, both alien and non-alien, will be evacuated from the above disignated [sic] area by 12:00 o’clock noon Wednesday, April 8, 2017. No Muslim person will be permitted to enter or leave the above discribed area after 8:00 a.m., Thursday, April 2, 2017, without obtaining special persmission [sic] from the Provost Marshal at the Civil Control Station…”
NBC 7 received an email from a person who claimed responsibility for the flyers. The alleged creator of the flyers said they weren’t meant to be “anti-Muslim,” but designed to “shock and anger people” by using the Japanese internment as a cautionary tale.
“The posters were meant to mimic the internment posters because I wanted to shock/anger people and to show them what could happen if they didn’t do anything to stop it. It was a warning presented as a possible future,” the email read….
Students who spoke to NBC 7 Wednesday evening said they were outraged at the flyers and the tone it took about the Japanese internment.
“To mock it and to make fun of it or to even take it seriously is messed up. It’s just wrong,” student Kra Bars said.
“It should be taken seriously because this is not a joke,” freshman Silvina Rodriguez said.
“It’s not right. They shouldn’t be allowed to do any of this,” Argo Hall resident Rosa Moreno said….
Not allowed.
Lucia Bartoli says
Gee, were it true idhve no problem with it at all. A reminder of history: Japanese subs torpedoed an American ship right off our Southern California coast. There WERE Japanese sympathizers among them. Someone once said, “War is hell.” Guess what–it is hell and that’s why it’s called war.
I hope they deport and/or imprison every one of those who hate USA. No bleeding hearts in my family.

Japanese Fifth Columnists In the US Prior To Pearl Harbor
Most citizens of the US with Asian ethnicity were loyal and, in many instances, were treated poorly by government officials and policies. Those facts are a black mark on US history.
Nevertheless, spies from Japan did operate on US soil during the years leading up to Pearl Harbor. The most notorious, of course, was Takeo Yoshikawa (March 7, 1914 – February 20, 1993). He traveled freely around the outskirts of naval base posing as a businessman — taking critical photographs of the military installation that were used to plot the future surprise attack.
The people who raised the alarm about Japanese spies were not wrong; enemy agents existed in America. The execution of how to identify and contain the bad guys was deeply flawed.
Lynn says
Not only Japanese were interned during WWII although they were the largest group. Some Germans and Italians were also interned.
Carlos Danger says
Another example of Fake News…the Trumpster is correct.

The Japanese Internment Camps of WW II were sad, tragic, and in some instances criminal. A friend of my family was sent to one of those camps in Canada, even though she was Filipino (and, therefore, opposed to Imperial Japan), where she was sexually exploited. It ruined her childhood.
But no one is proposing anything of the kind for Muslims.
It’s a false narrative a la Saul Alinsky.
Tjhawk says
Yes, the Japanese internment was sad, particularly in hindsight. We’re any Japanese on American Soil claiming allegiance to the Emporer of Japan? How many treasonous acts of treachery and murder had been committed by the Japanese against our military and civilian populations? How many Japanese were openly espousing the superiority of the Japanese way of life?
Muslims are always conflating their conflicts with groups who actually suffered undeserved tragedies. They claim to be “the new Jews” or they latch onto Black civil rights in order to steal some victimhood. There is no moral equivalence here.
Shmooviyet says
“Not allowed”, indeed. Imagine this generation’s horror at a Pearl Harbour-like attack! All those dead Asian pilots…
The student reaction to this dopey prank would be the real story in a normal world. The brain-scrubbed flakes would toss everyone’s rights and submit, to keep feelings safe from hurt. Already too usefully idiotic to recognize how manipulated their thinking is. Minds like penny-gumball machines.
(Saw the real flyer, dated 1942, selling on eBay last week.)

If a Republican posted this he will be thrown in prison for a “hate” crime. If it was a Muslim or a liberal with good intentions, there will be a no prosecution.

Malik Houston, above, pretends that the Muslim text from the Hadith about desiring for the “brother’ what one desires for oneself, is the same thing as the Golden Rule.
In fact it is not. I understand that historically it has been interpreted as applying only to a Muslim’s fellow *Muslims*. Muslims do not call kafir ‘brother’.
Whereas all the other belief systems referred to in his post do not *limit* the identity of the ‘other’ or ‘neighbour’, Islam DOES.
‘Malik” Houston hopes we don’t know about Surah 48.29 of the Quran, which states flatly – ““Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; Those with him are VIOLENT (ashiddaa’) against the disbelievers (kufaar); Compassionate amongst themselves.”
Not much ‘Golden Rule’ there… (and that word ashiddaa is *very* strong).
Not to mention the Dar al Harb / Dar al Islam division of the world, that frames all non-Muslims qua non-Muslims as Enemies. Or the guiding principle of al-wala wa al-bara, ‘loyalty and enmity’ – loyalty to fellow Muslims (of the right sect and degree of sharia compliance) ONLY, and enmity (preferably expressed in deed as well as in word or in thought) against all non-Muslims qua non-Muslims. NOn-Muslims are NEVER described as ‘brother’ to Muslims.
Joseph Schacht, in his tome “An Introduction to Islamic Law”, sums things up thus:
“The basis of the Islamic attitude towards unbelievers is the law of war; they must be either converted, or subjugated, or killed”.

Oh, poor Mohammedans! When we are threatened and annoyed almost daily with their allahu-akbars and noise pollution of the “call to prayer” that’s all OK? And about constant pollution of daily news about misbehavior of their fellow Ummah brethren I would not even mention.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
The photo shows that this proclamation is dated “April 1, 2017” — April Fool’s day. In addition, the quoted paragraph has three misspellings: “All Muslim persons, both alien and non-alien, will be evacuated from the above disignated [sic] area by 12:00 o’clock noon Wednesday, April 8, 2017. No Muslim person will be permitted to enter or leave the above discribed [sic] area after 8:00 a.m., Thursday, April 2, 2017, without obtaining special persmission [sic] from the Provost Marshal at the Civil Control Station…”
Moreover, April 8, 2017 is a Saturday, not a Wednesday, and April 2, 2017 is a Sunday, not a Thursday.

And what, exactly, did he hoped to achieve by “shocking” and “angering” people? Isn’t this tantamount to inciting violence?

And here’s another fake anti-Muslim hate crime from Montreal: an Arab of Morrocan descent has been accused of sending in a bomb threat against Muslim students at Montreal’s Concordia University. The accused’s name is Hicham Saadi:

The purpose of the Leftist ploy is to keep America vulnerable to jihad attacks from within and without and to keep Americans lulled into somnolent unawareness of the JIHAD DOCTRINE, KAFIR DOCTRINE, TAQIYYA DOCTRINE and the ISLAMIC WORLD CONQUEST DOCTRINE.

Hey, look everyone! Another example of anti-Muslim hate-crime intimidation:
“We, the kaffir people of (insert name of kaffir territory undergoing Islamic colonization), hereby declare in the name of our three gods, Jehovah, Jesus and Mary, that you Believers are not welcome in our lands! And one of these days, by Allah, we will actually start to think about really doing something against you!”
(Signed) Father Bishop Patrick Jesus Johnson Kelly Von Kaffirstan”
I think we’ve finally found a genuine threat here!

It was obvious from the start that this was not done by a Trump supporter.

Yeah–right. Just more fodder for fake Muslim grievances.
