Shame on Peter King!
This post was supposed to be yesterday’s Conspiracy Theory Wednesday and once again I find myself apologizing for being late. Oh well….
It’s not that there’s any lack of crazy conspiracy theories out there; I just have to search and read through to see if it this stuff is even readable. But no problem this week, because of on New York‘s very own U.S. Representative Peter King has raised Islamphobia to a new level of histrionics. And with that comes a whole slew of way out there conspiracy theories.
Have you heard of the Shari’ah Conspiracy Theory? No, well then you must read this. If you regularly read this blog I know you’re probably wondering why does she want me to read about another fringe lunatic thought process? Wellllll…..because every now and then I have to remind myself that these people actually vote and procreate and omg, you have got to know who is out there beyond your own comfort zone of intelligence. Scary? Yes! But knowledge is power and in order to fight the craziness, you need to know from whence it came.

I strongly suggest you copy and paste the link and have yourself an enlightening good time reading this. Here’s a passage and teaser for you;
“Anti-Muslim diatribe and activity have reached what Marshall Breger, a law professor at Catholic University, an Orthodox Jew and a Republican, has described as a “season of singular national distemper where, for reasons best understood by social psychiatrists, the American people have entered into what can only be described as ‘open season’ on Islam.” …Alternet.org
There is a cottage industry of anti-Muslim fearmongers among us!
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.

Great article, pb. The OC protests made me sick to my stomach.
And this particular conspiracy theory is so popular that places in the US have passed anti-Sharia laws. There are WP sites that “watch” Sharia.
What can we say to convince them that Muslims and Muslim Americans will not eat their young?
I wish I knew, I’m embarrassed to be a New Yorker; it’s like McCarthy all over again, a veritable witch hunt.
