I have seen no such "whip up anti-Muslim hysteria". I believe that you are viewing things through your own tinted gogles of political bias.
Here are the dates of those articles to which you linked:
2/10/2008
November 28, 2010
9 December 2004
July 11, 2010
These had nothing to do with the 10th "anniversary" of the 9/11 attack. You are being very dishonest. To the point of telling a lie. You are just as America hating liberal.
Isn't that fascinating... They all occur AFTER 9/11/2001.... Who'd a thunk it..???
So, I guess Bubba and Doofus CAN be "whipped up" into an anti-Muslim frenzy...just like I said... OH?!? Did you want to try to confine it to a specific date so you can claim that you're right and everybody else is wrong? My bad. I should have known...
A very unhappy person who comes here daily to remind you of her perspective on life. If you have any illusions of changing her mind about anything...then God bless you friend. People have been trying to give her another perspective for years...but her, like many of her progressive ilk, won't hear of it. They know all and will continue to pass judgment on anyone who doesn't agree with their radical (progressive) view of the world.
What's her agenda? That sound like the title of a thread all it's own. And it would take 40 pages to begin to plumb the depth of her hatred and anger.
Anti-military, not so much... I'm Anti-war...Particularly, Anti-unnecessary-war; (and particularly when it appears that the only reason for starting it was to make the then-current president appear that he was "doing something.")
Anti-happiness...never... However, my happiness and your happiness might not fit the same definition. Last I heard that wasn't a requirement of anything.
Anti-America... Nah... But I'm sure you would perceive it as such. Seems that all Right-wing extremists view all liberals that way... What else is new.
Anti-Man.... Well, they ARE good for vehicle maintenance and lawn-care....

I have to say LJ...that with very few exceptions, you are as consistent and predictable as the tides.
No i'm not..I just don't understand why people get patriotic over it..I fully understand the sadness, shock, horror and anger...But patriotic? Honoring cops?
Isn't it sad that every thread seems to degenerate into a mindless partisan bashfest? Is that how you people see the world? Us vs. Them? If so, then the 9/11 attackers have won.
