"They ... [have] paralyzed too many of our fellow citizens to make the critical judgment we need to make as a society." ~ Congressman Ed Royce (*when asked about Fox News' role as the Fourth Branch of American government)When the ICNA event (which raised money for the homeless and women's shelters) was over, the Muslim men, women and children walked past the patriotic protesters who shouted, "GO BACK HOME! GO BACK HOME! GO BACK HOME!" and "You're cowards! Why don't you go home and beat your wife like you do every night. Have sex with your nine year-old and marry her!"
"This is not about hate ... We are not hatemongers. The word 'Islamophobia' is an effort to chill us. The Constitution was never meant to allow a tyranny of a minority." ~Karen Lugo, Chapman University adjunct professor of law and committee member of the California Advisory Committee to the US Civil Rights Commission
"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note." ~Martin Luther KingThe crowd continued, "Muhammad was a child molester! Muhammad was a pervert! Muhammad was a fraud!"
"It's not right for terrorism to come to Yorba Linda. I always stress the need to be peaceful and positive." ~Steven Amundson, Protest organizer of these patriotic AmericansThe angry patriots raged on, "Your hands are bloody! Your mother's bloody! Get out, you terrorist lovers! You're not welcome here!"
"I came here to give you a flag. I'm proud of what you're doing. I'm proud of this country and what we believe in, and let's not let those who disagree with it destroy it. God bless you"~Congressman Gary Miller, addressing the patriotic crowd.Alayhi-salam indeed.
