NYPD investigating hate flyers calling Islamists "terrorists and bastards"

I will be pasting articles as images going forward. I was recently suspended due to contents of an article changing after I copy-pasted the contents to VJ. This way, hopefully VJ moderators will have less reason to accuse me of intentionally inserting lies into posted articles.

Huh, I wish VJ would be like the NYPD and NY politicians, and recognize that "An attack against one group is an attack against us all."

Especially on a site that claims to be international.

Good job, NY.

Well, on something so simple, so obvious, so fundamental to the ideals of the US, they can get it right.

What does that tell you?

De Blasio.....Mayor of NYCity

Described by CNN as the “unabashed liberal,” de Blasio is actually to the left of Barack Obama, in the sense that de Blasio didn’t disavow his communist background once it came to light. At least Obama tried to cover up his ties to communist Frank Marshall Davis.

De Blasio had scrubbed the Marxist connections from his campaign website, an omission that momentarily captured the attention of The New York Times. But once these connections and controversies came to light, he embraced his sordid history. He still embraces liberation theology and his work for the communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua.

Nobody believed the purpose of his “honeymoon” to Cuba was actually a honeymoon, but the media didn’t even bother to check into how he made the illegal trip and whether the FBI had developed a file on the candidate.

De Blasio was so open about his Marxism that on Sunday, he campaigned with Harry Belafonte, who during the Cold War sang at a “Concert for Peace” in communist East Germany, where he attacked President Reagan’s anti-communist foreign policy. A long-time supporter of the Castro dictatorship, Belafonte was also an ally of the late Venezuelan Marxist ruler Hugo Chavez.

I might be wrong here. but,...I thought islamist & muslims were different groups of people. my understanding & please correct me if i'm wrong.

muslims are followers of islam.

islamist are followers of islam with a political agenda that twist the teachings of islam to justify undesirable actions.

That is my understanding as well. Except I don't think Islamists would consider their actions undesirable, nor would they consider their Islamic belief twisted.

The term "Islamist" was created recently in the media to distinguish from various terrorist groups and regular people. However, the term itself originally just refers to all muslims. I think it is reasonably clear that the intent of the poster is hate speech against all muslims, as it has a "No Islam" sign, and compares one group to Nazis.

I think it's good you point this out, because I believe that this is a good example of how people should not be "tricked" by changing one word here or there in their hate speech.

If the person wanted to speak out against terrorism per se, or violence, there are plenty of other ways to do it besides this.

damn! are there different sects of islamist? because, murdering people & justifying it through the religion because they don't agree with your interpretation of the text in the holy book or because they have completely different religious beliefs. is pretty twisted & undesirable.

I agree. But they wouldn't. They would be telling you they're just killing sinners.

Mr. de Blasio became an ardent supporter of the Nicaraguan revolutionaries. He helped raise funds for the Sandinistas in New York and subscribed to the party’s newspaper, Barricada, or Barricade. When he was asked at a meeting in 1990 about his goals for society, he said he was an advocate of “democratic socialism.”

In 1987, Mr. de Blasio was hired as a political organizer, soon after he finished graduate school at Columbia, earning $12,000 a year. He worked inside the Quixote Center’s Maryland office, converted apartments filled with homegrown squash and peace posters. Hunched over his desk with a phone to his ear — his colleagues likened him to “Big Bird with a beard” — he oversaw efforts to solicit and ship millions of dollars in food, clothing and supplies to Nicaragua. He also proved to be a skilled provocateur, twice being arrested during rallies against United States foreign policy that were held in the Washington area.

It was not the first time Mr. de Blasio had dabbled in political protest. Growing up in Cambridge, Mass., he had spoken out as a high school student against the spread of nuclear power. As an undergraduate at New York University, he was a co-founder of a coalition to push for greater financial transparency and more student feedback at the school.
