Christian and Muslim get in religious argument in bar, Muslim shoots Christian

And this after Obama’s speech in Cairo preaching tolerance and understanding of Islam.

Of course, he was in a bar, and so he probably wasn’t drinking apple juice, and so this has nothing to do with jihad, right? Maybe not. But when one comes from a culture of violent intransigence regarding religion, this kind of thing is going to happen. Watch for the BBC dramatization of this event, with just one minor detail change: in the BBC version, the Christian will shoot the Muslim.

Meanwhile, note the NBCSandiego.com headline — as if this sort of thing happens all the time when people argue about religion in bars.

“Never Talk About Religion in a Bar,” by Michelle Wayland for NBCSanDiego.com, June 6 (thanks to all who sent this in):

What started as an argument over religion at a bar escalated when one man shot another five times overnight, as the victim’s sister watched in horror.Toni Simpson says she was waiting for her brother, Ernest McCullough, 29, in the 3800 block of Van Dyke Avenue at about 4:30 a.m. after a night of drinking at Nancy’s Pub. She was listening to the pair argue over religion but never thought it would lead to what happened next.

“He pulled up his shirt and it looked like a knife and it was a gun. He pulled it out and shot him,” she said.

Simpson says she was so shocked that she blacked out after the first two rounds were fired. When she came around she saw her brother covered in blood.

“I said ‘he shot you?’ And he said ‘yeah, he shot me’ and then he fell to the ground,” Simpson said.

The victim, who is Christian, was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital in serious condition but is expected to be okay.

The suspect, who Simpson says was of Muslim faith, remains at large.

 

Note that the religious identity of a man who shot another in a religious argument is only disclosed in the last paragraph of the story as if it is the least significant detail of all. Why, Christians shoot members of other religions over religious arguments all the time, don’t they? And Buddhists — oh, don’t get them started!

Justice Department Issues Statement To Help Advance Islam in America

 

While American Muslims are actively taking to the streets calling for jihad, the destruction of Israel and shooting American soldiers, our Obama lead Justice Department has turned on America and sided with Islam.

Statement of Attorney General Eric Holder on Department of Justice’s Outreach and Enforcement Efforts to Protect American Muslims

Thursday, June 4, 2009

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement relating to President Obama’s historic speech today in Cairo, Egypt:

“The President’s pledge for a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim community takes root here in the Justice Department where we are committed to using criminal and civil rights laws to protect Muslim Americans. A top priority of this Justice Department is a return to robust civil rights enforcement and outreach in defending religious freedoms and other fundamental rights of all of our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the housing market, in our schools and in the voting booth.

“There are those who will continue to want to divide by fear – to pit our national security against our civil liberties – but that is a false choice. We have a solemn responsibility to protect our people while we also protect our principles.”

End note:

First a Muslim convert shoots at two  Army recruiters (kills William Andrew Long of Conway)  in Arkansas.

Now a Muslim shoots a Christian man in a San Diego, California bar arguing over religion.

What is going on here?
