WATCH: Protesters surround conference put on by Texas Muslims: ‘You are not Americans’

[TexasTowelie]

Garland, Texas -- Protesters, upset that a Muslim group was holding a conference at a Texas conference center owned by the local school district, showed up last night waving flags and signs telling attendees, “Go home and take Obama with you.”

The conference, entitled “Stand With the Prophet Against Terror and Hate,” was being being put on as a fundraiser for a Chicago-based Islamic group, Sound Vision, and approximately about 500 attendees were expected, reports NBC-DFW.

Holding signs saying “You are not Americans. Don’t fly our flag,” protesters complained about the Garland Independent School District allowing the group to use the facility.

“We pay our taxes to that school, and I don’t want them here,” one woman, Lavona Martindale said.

Another protester, identified as Greg McKinley, said, “We’re here to stand up for the American way of life from a faction of people who are trying to destroy us.”

1. More gun toting xenophobics fed fear intravenously by Fox Spews and CNN.

I truly pity them as much as I detest the media that feeds off them as well.

6. There are guns visible in the coverage.

I saw no references to guns in the accounts I read.

3. The leader of the group

Imam Malik Mujahid, is also the head of the Interfaith Council headquartered in Chicago. He's a decent man. The Interfaith Council is one of the few religious groups that actually do good, IMHO.

In this clip, Imam Malik was taken aback by OReilly spouting a quote that supposedly came from Imam Wahhaj. Because he had never heard the quote, he didn't want to just say it was a lie or taken out of context, which it was. If you recall, Wahhaj was one of many Muslims accused of outrageous things after 9/11, none of which were true.

Bill OReilly is one of the biggest reasons there is such hate in this country. He should be prosecuted. If there is violence at any of these events he paints as collecting money for and planning a Jihad, then he should be prosecuted as an accomplice.

10. Sadly it's not just Texas

It's also in the Southwest corner of the South Dakota Black-hills.
Next school year there will be 2 Muslim foreign exchange students.
Instead of being excited to learn about a different culture people are being derogatory.
They dress funny, they eat different food, etc.
I am appalled to say the least!

11. It is tough living in Texas at times

These protestors are idiots
