Kernersville conservative activists prepare for violent confrontation with Islam
A consortium of tea partiers, patriot groups and other conservative activists gathered in a private dining room at a seafood restaurant in Kernersville on Thursday evening for a presentation on a supposed Muslim plot to conquer the United States.
The 20 or so people who attended the meeting at Captain Tom’s Seafood needed little convincing from presenter Tom Jones (not "that" Tom Jones), who soldiered through frequent interruptions about supposed Muslim treachery paired with testimonials about preparedness for violent confrontation and even expressions of readiness to kill Muslims.
“Do you have any recommendations as to how we could stop this?” asked Frank del Valle, a Winston-Salem resident whose Facebook page identifies him as a retired federal employee and native of Cuba, near the end of the hourlong presentation. “Because my only recommendation is to start killing the hell out them.”
Del Valle’s outburst spurred a variety of responses from the group.

Response: Muslim group asks for federal investigation of death threats in Kernersville
The nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy group is requesting a federal investigation after death threats were made against the Muslim community during a meeting in Kernersville on Thursday.
The meeting, attended by about 20 people at a seafood restaurant, included a focus on a “supposed Muslim plot to conquer the United States,” according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). This allegation apparently incited violent ideas by some participants.
“My only recommendation is to start killing the hell out them,” one Winston-Salem participant said, according to CAIR. “I’m ready to start taking people out. Shed some blood, too.”
The moderator at the meeting said people should be more concerned about Muslims who appear to be integrated into American society than other outwardly extremist groups, like ISIS, according to Triad City Beat, which reported on the meeting, saying it took place at Captain Tom’s Seafood.
