Hate Crime: Muslim Harasses Christian in New Jersey

Atlas readers know I am fiercely against the idea of "hate crime." All crime is hate and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

When you start to delineate what's in a person's mind or heart, aka thought crime, who decides? Who decides what's hate and what's not? The government? The Organizaton of the Islamic Conference? CAIR? Are things so bad that a rubber porky pig is a hate crime? Yes. And it will get worse. They create tales out of whole cloth to prosecute the innocent who dare speak out against oppression and subjugation.

But crimes against Jews, Chrsitians, Hindus, Whites, Asians (as in Asian, not the buzzword for Musim) etc ........*yawn.*

The hypocrisy looms large. Here's a letter I thought I should share with you. I expect the gutless congressman who witnessed his Muslim constituents dancing on 9/11/01 will do nothing but hide beneath his desk. If this continues -- auxiliary law enforcement will be necessary.

The idea that Muslims would torment and harass an elderly, disabled woman because she is a non-Muslim is debased and grotesque. The writer, a PhD, wrote to her Congressman again because of yet another incident of harassment today, one of many she has had to endure as she walks through a majority Muslim neighborhood in Paterson, NJ:

Dear Congressman Pascrell:

Greetings and best wishes for your, and our, continued success in the
upcoming election. I know you are busy because of election time, so I
will keep this letter brief and to the point. I plan to share this
letter with Pamela Geller, a prominent American Civil Rights activist,
so I will repeat information already known to you, Congressman
Pascrell, in order to make the letter fully comprehensible to Ms.
Geller.

I am writing to inform you of the constant harassment, even dangerous
harassment, I endure as I walk the three miles from my apartment in
Artist's Housing, a federally funded Artist's Housing project, along
Main Street in Paterson, NJ, to Corrado's Market, on Main Street.
Corrado's is, of course, a legendary local market, unsurpassed for its
fresh produce.

I walk through a predominantly Muslim neighborhood near the
intersection of Main Street and Crooks Ave. This area gained
international infamy when Paterson Muslims celebrated in the streets
on September 11, 2001, an event which, according to internet news
reports, you yourself, Congressman Pascrell, witnessed.

I am moved to write today because a man seated at one of the many
sidewalk chairs on Main Street impeded my ability to walk down the
street, and called out, "Look out! Look out! Here comes Jesus Christ!"
as I approached on the sidewalk. This man, about sixty, speaking with
a heavy Turkish accent, with face stubble, began to repeatedly make
body motions with his hands across his face and chest in a mockery of
the act of a Christian blessing oneself. This occurred today, Sunday,
October 17, 2010, at approximately four p.m., as I walked from my
apartment to Corrado's.

This is a constant occurrence on this Muslim-dominated stretch of
road. In the past, I have been mocked by other religious names. Once a
much younger man, in a group of men speaking Arabic, stopped me, and
mocked me as "Moses," as his friends surrounded me. On another
occasion, witnessed by a police officer, a Muslim man hit me with his
SUV, knocking me to the ground. The police officer took and filed a
full report.

As you know, I am an older woman, and physically handicapped. I need a
cane to walk. These Muslim men target an older, physically
handicapped, isolated American woman for their abuse.

I live in Paterson, a dangerous city. I commute on foot to work on
WPUNJ. I pass housing projects inhabited largely by unemployed African
Americans. This area is not pleasant, but it has not proven dangerous.
In my many years of commuting on foot, no African American has menaced
me the way the Muslim men on Main Street do on a regular basis.

I am writing to you, Congressman Pascrell, rather than to our mayor,
because you have power on the federal level. I want to know that you
know that this is going on in Paterson and in New Jersey. I want you
to think about this when you consider matters pertaining to
immigration, to multiculturalism, and to the repeated refrains that
Muslims are subject to "hate crimes" in America. Certainly a man
stopping me on a sidewalk and mocking Christianity is a hate crime.
Will you, or will any other elected New Jersey official, do anything
about it?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
