'American Sniper' Triggers Flood Of Anti-Muslim Venom, Civil Rights Group Warns

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee said this week that threats against Muslims and Arabs have soared following the release of "American Sniper," a hugely popular and hugely controversial film.

In its letter to Cooper, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee warned, "The threats advocate for the murder of Arabs, one going as far as to say, 'Great f**king movie and now I really want to kill some f**king ragheads.'"

The civil rights group said in its letter that it's working with the FBI and local law enforcement officials to address the threats.

"It is imperative for us, as Americans, to act now to prevent these verbal threats from turning into violent and physical hate crimes," the group wrote.

Yeah it happens a lot also when Al Qaddia releases beheading videos. So what comes around goes around. Deal with it.

The hateful acts will be committed against people who are not even Muslim. They will be committed against Shikhs, Hindus, Jehovah Witness trying to convert Muslims, etc. I had a friend who was called a Muslim female dog and she was a Catholic Indian. Morons
