Let's talk about hate and Muslims
So I have a wonderful job that I might have mentioned once or twice...I cheerfully refer to it as Hell on Earth. Now while I was at work, selling out to the man to pay my rent and internet bill. (and if Comcast doesn't stop screwing me on the bill I'm going to go shove my modem up someone's poop-shoot...not really...much love to people over in customer service)
So as you may or may not know, it is the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims. Cool, good for them. Personally I think fasting every day for a month isn't all that fun. I think I'll keep my American Juedo-Christian based holidays that encourage overeating. Yes, there is a point to this story. So taking all the above information into account -
Five or so obviously Muslim, read wearing fezes and or turbans, and robes, were shopping. They were there for maybe an hour and in that hour and the hour after I got more questions and complaints...actual complaints...about these men then anything else.
Old Man's Actual Quote - "What are those...Muslims doing here?"
Me - "Um shopping, I assume."
It's a store...what did he think they were doing? They were buying bread...CALL HOMELAND SECURITY!! THEY KIDNAPPED SARA LEE!!!
Jesus.
Not only that...in a town somewhere west of my town...I'm not exactly sure where because I honestly don't want to go further into Bible Belt Crackerville State USA then I actually have to...there is a mosque being built. Or it would be in under construction if the "Good Christian Community of Murfysburro" would stop vandalizing the site...oh and setting it on fire.
So why am I talking about all of this? Well first off it enrages me, greatly. Second, it reminds me of a scene from 'Gods of Vegas' Remember that scene in the store where...I'm assuming that 1 - people are reading this post and 2 - Those readers read 'Gods of Vegas'....the two Muslim teenagers were attacked and beaten? In fact remember the entire vibe in Vegas during that story...It's only slightly more violent then the actual situation Muslims find themselves in today. Between the New York Islam center and the local Mosque...it's getting ridiculous. I would usually say I WROTE THIS! I mean it's been about two-ish years since I wrote Gods of Vegas and things are actually moving in that severly messed up direction. My brain is a scary place...and possibly psychic.
I'm just saying RebelByrdie predicted the I-pad (See Between Guilt and Innocence) and the Muslim-hate situation that's been happening (See Gods of Vegas)
Have you read my stories lately? I really hope nothing else becomes reality...
Unless y'know the CSI writers want to borrow something that would be fine...with permission...and financial compensation. Cause if I could be paid for my rambling I could quit my soul-sucking job...and I would update more.
Hate, in all forms suck...except for my job hate. If you had my job you'd hate it too.
