Muslim Americans Raise Money to Repair Vandalized Graves in a Jewish Cemetery

[sjoes006]

Over the weekend 150 graves were desecrated at a Jewish Cemetery in St Louis.

Two Muslim-Americans in the community quickly started a fundraiser.

“Through this campaign, we hope to send a united message from the Jewish and Muslim communities that there is no place for this type of hate, desecration, and violence in America,” the fundraising page on the site LaunchingGood reads. “We pray that this restores a sense of security and peace to the Jewish-American community who has undoubtedly been shaken by this event.”

The goal of the fundraiser was $20,000 but it quickly matched that several times over most of the funds coming from those in the Muslim community.

These fine citizens truly do embody Stronger Together.

'Over the weekend 150 graves were desecrated at a Jewish Cemetery in St Louis.'
Well gee, its not like the KKK are trump supporters and notorious haters of jewish people, oh wait they are

I think at this point it is more beneficial to be aware of the going one and stand together.

We're all quite aware over what ignited this probate movement. We can't agonize it's time to organize together as the fine people of this community have served as an example.

“
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.'

Utter bull. Obama shunned Benjamin Netanyahu, yet Trump welcomes him. Please make a valid attempt to understand truth before you speak untruth like this.

@thetundrawolf

They are
That they hate jewish people? They do, along with blacks, catholics, italians, really anyone who isn't a WASP

@thetundrawolf
' Benjamin Netanyahu'
And notice I said Jewish people, not israelis,
You'll find that plenty of American Jews really don't like Israel

@thetundrawolf
So its clear, you are just another trumper who can't stand the truth that you voted for a fascist who dislikes anyone who isn't a wasp

There are wonderful Muslims everywhere. Most Muslims are good people. But the doctrine Muhammad wrote is worthy of contempt. He had sex with a 9 year old girl named Aisha. He murdered many Jews, and changed his doctrine many times. He literally calls for the active murder of homosexuals, and everyone who does not believe he is the prophet of what he considers god.

Today, Islam has slaughtered 669,000,000 non Muslims and an indeterminate amount of Muslims (Who were's Muslim enough, by not wearing their Hijab, being raped, etc.

Everywhere Islamic refugees are being welcomed, rape, violence, and riots are breaking out.

Muhammad says women are worth less than men. He says women are stupid, in the Koran (If you want the verse I'll find it.) He also says a woman's testimony is worth less than a man's.

And yet Islam is still praised in civilized society? How is this?

That's not what #PresidentBannon wants.

One individual does not rule this country. The people rule this country and thankfully the majority of people are saying, not in my house, not on my watch!

Texas governor vows to defund Austin's PD for refusing to round up immigrants. Private citizens unitedly stepped up to say then we'll pay that gap in funding through private donations.

We aren't here to criminalize and round up the people that built this country. The Governors own city told him to fuck off.

I've never seen a Texas Governor turn against immigrants in this way. It's unthinkable. Texas is close to if not majority Latino.

Americans turning against Jews? Unthinkable yet here we are. This country will not stand for it.

There are people that live in cities and people that live in the rural areas. The rural areas are sheltered and prejudice. They simply aren't exposed to diversity and that's sad for them. Because they don't understand what truly makes the world go round.

"Americans turning against Jews? Unthinkable yet here we are."
Nothing new. Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson , Henry Ford hated them, Walt Disney too.
