More Kowtowing to Muslims

Let's get something straight once and for all.  There is no Islamophobia in the U.S., nor has there ever been any discrimination against Muslims.  There is, however, a problem with anti-Semitism, but we won't go there today.

Once again, Obama is doing his best to establish special privileges to those who embrace Islam, and I don't know about you, but it makes me sick to witness it.

January 2013 can't come soon enough, and that's being optimistic because we may have a whole lotta trouble ousting Obama and his sweet wife Michelle from the White House.

US Commerce Department to label Arab-Americans a 'disadvantaged minority'?

Silly me. I thought the influence of Arab Americans in the US was based upon their middle and upper class status. Apparently not. The US Commerce Department is now considering labeling Arab-Americans a 'disadvantaged minority' (Hat Tip: Joe L).

The Commerce Department is considering naming Arab Americans a socially and economically disadvantaged minority group that is eligible for special business assistance.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) petitioned Commerce earlier this year to ask that Arab Americans be made eligible for the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), which helps minority entrepreneurs gain access to capital, contracts and trade opportunities.

The ADC petition cited “discrimination and prejudice in American society[,] resulting in conditions under which Arab-American individuals have been unable to compete in a business world.” The group claimed discrimination against Arab Americans increased after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

You have until June 27 to let the Commerce Department know how you feel about this.

I think it's pretty hard to argue that there is significant anti-Arab discrimination, at least based on the hate crime statistics. The FBI hate crime statistics for 2010 are here. See for yourselves.
