In a few years, they will have a new Timothy McVeigh, or a Baruch Goldstein in America (or anywhere in Europe, though the Roma appear to be the new-old favourite hate group).

It's just disgusting, over an Islamic Community Centre. I live near an Islamic Prayer Centre, I always walk past guys on their way to pray. They're so simple, I prefer them over right-wing close-minded Christians any day!

I saw this on Fox news a few days ago. They were claiming that the guy that did the stabbing was a leftwing college student, and they were insinuating that leftwingers are hypocrites.

This is disgusting, but its not surprising considering the hateful rhetoric spewed by the faux news channel on a daily basis.
