Good Day World!
Hate groups grow like weeds in our society. And like weeds, they need to be rooted out in every generation.
Hate for Muslims in America reached an all-time high after the 9-11 attacks, and little has changed since then.

Muslims are not all extremists, but many people toss them into the same trash heap as the terrorists who are spreading a perverted version of Islam. These terrorists are often “lone wolves.”
However, their not all loners looking to become martyrs. Organized terror is now a problem throughout the planet. Radical groups like ISIS and Al-Qadea have grown in recent years.
Amid that backdrop, why would anyone do something to purposely piss off Muslims in America?
The answer is simple; America has it’s hate groups and one of the leading one’s against Islam is the American Freedom Defense Initiative.
The group hosted a "Draw Muhammad” contest in Texas that ended with police killing two armed gunman. Pamela Geller, executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, told NBC News that "we should be holding these meetings every month."
In Geller’s world, every opportunity to create chaos in our society is eagerly taken. Hate begets hate.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed the group as an anti-Muslim hate group since 2010.
"We absolutely must have other events like this to stand up for free speech...," Geller said. "I will not abridge my freedoms so as not to offend savages."
Among the problems Geller cited was that the daily Muslim prayers curse Christians and Jews in Arabic.
That’s an outright lie according to Zead Ramadan, the chair of the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who called Geller's assertion "absolutely asinine."
He said the daily prayer, the Salat, calls for God to "bring peace upon and bless the children of Abraham," which, according to Biblical tradition, includes Christians and Jews.
But truth doesn’t matter when someone is blinded by hate and bigotry.
"She likes to cause chaos and hatred and have people die," Ramadan said. "She's hiding behind the skirts of our liberties.
"She lies and then says, 'I have the right to lie'"
We must ask ourselves, at what point does free speech become hate speech?
