Hmm, let’s see. None if this happened after 9/11, but what the heck, with Tebow-mania sweeping the nation, who knows how rowdy those Broncos fans could become?
I admit I’ve been tempted to bust some things up when my New York Giants lose tough games, and I was perilously close to calling for mass deportation after that DeSean Jackson fiasco last December. But really, is a man who causes such inspiration capable of unknowingly inciting mass violence?
For all the Tebow analysis from non-football types, this may be the dumbest.
People are always looking for signs of God’s beneficence, and a victory by the Orange Crush over the blue-clad Patriots, from the bluest of blue states, will give fodder to a Christian revivalism that has already turned the Republican presidential race into a pander-thon to social conservatives, rekindling memories of those cultural icons of the ‘80s, the Moral Majority and “Hee Haw.”….
….If Tebow wins the Super Bowl, against all odds, it will buoy his faithful, and emboldened faithful can do insane things, like burning mosques, bashing gays and indiscriminately banishing immigrants. While America has become more inclusive since Jerry Falwell’s first political forays, a Tebow triumph could set those efforts back considerably.
Riiiiiiiiiiight!
And the success of Green Bay Packers’ Jewish quarterback is going to lead to massive conversions into Judaism?!?
These imaginary backlashes against Muslims are fed by the same hysteria that led the UK to close a 150 year old church in a Sharia-compliant section of the British Isles.
(It was reopened on appeal court reversal. It’s Sharia CRIME was that A Muslim could hear hymns at 10:30 AM on a Sunday outside its door.)
OTOH, when Undercover Mosque aired on BBC Channel 4 and REAL hate crimes were shown coming from imam after imam spewed garbage such as” beat your daughter until she covers BY AGE 7, Kill every Jew, join the Jihad to kill the Infidels;” the BBC and Channel 4 had to pay the fine for ”Hate Crime” INSULTING Muslims!
Only later was THAT reversed, forcing the money to be paid back.
Notice a pattern?
There is no backlash AGAINST Muslims.
There is no concerted hate aimed at Muslims inside the USA or Europe.
But Muslims are the only ones claiming there will be.
Beforehand.
Then they dance when we get murdered, insult our veterans, the symbols of past history, like the British Poppy Day.
And we swallow it quietly.
I don’t know who Tebow is, but I’ll try to catch him on TV next time his team plays.
He play for the Broncos.
OK.
The article was written by a self hating liberal Jew (redundant). What you see is not the viewpoint of sane Jews, but that of a bigoted liberal (again redundant). It never ceases to amaze me that someone whose people were the vicitms of a type of socialism flock to a close cousin of that socialism.
That would be like me living in Cuba and supporting a regime very similar to Castro’s, but not Castro’s.
INTERESTING , BRING THEM ON

Who really kills Muslims?
Why, their ”fellow” Muslims, of course!
While Obama insisted that Israel negotiate with the ”unified” Palestinian government, note IRONICALLY, that Hamas and Fatah are murdering and manslaughtering one another at a furious pace, and in inventive ways:

Fatah kills Hamas.
And Obama wants Israel to negotiate with these murderers?!?
