Bachmann isn't Wisconsin.

no but she's fueling an anti-muslim and anti-middle eastern witch hunt right now

She's not the only one sadly. She holds blame for that, yeah, but let's get details on what actually happened today.

She's not the only one but she's the latest and loudest one.

Sikhs aren't even Muslims OR Middle Easterners.

I know that isn't what you're saying, but the fact that apparently even CNN can't get their facts straight (a friend of mine was just raging on twitter that CNN was saying that "Sikhs aren't Muslim, they're Hindus") just shows what the real problem is: brown people are the enemy, non-Christians are the enemy, and they're not even worth distinguishing.

And then I went on CNN's website and people are already complaining about anti-Christian persecution.

i know. i should have said brown people in general because let's be real... all of us have a target on our heads

and the unfortunate part is that we're not going to get any more clear about the difference between the different religions and groups are because schools are wiping out islamic studies departments and anything that even resembles any religion that isn't christianity. it's bullshit because we're never all going to get to a point where we all understand tolerate each others religion

That comment was really well said.

The ironic part is when you consider the only reason we have the separation of church and state here in America is because fundy Christians were afraid the rest of the country wouldn't tolerate them. It was one of those "vote for me, get me elected, and I'll add that to the bill" things. If only they'd know...

Wait wait wait, how is this shooting anti-CHRISTIAN persecution?

Didn't you hear, everything is always about how terrible the Christians have it.

What does that have to do with it? She's been sprouting off a lot of anti-Islam rhetoric lately. It's been all over the news.

She's national.
