Islamophobia

Was Peter King’s Pig Foot a Hoax?

Contributed by Mahmoud El-Yousseph

For all-too obvious reasons, I do not like or agree with the views of US Rep. Peter King. However, the recent act of sending this lawmaker a bloody pig’s foot in the mail can only be described as a foolish act. For those ‘not in the know’, Rep. King is the one responsible for holding the recent “hearings” on Muslims in America this last March.

As a Muslim, I do not believe such an act–sending a bloody pig’s foot in the mail– is conducive to ”good dialogue”. This prank is neither legal nor funny.

Having said that, I will gofurther by saying I believe the entire event is more than likely a hoax, the intended message of which is clear–To stigmatize Muslims. It is the same message when a McCain supporter claimed that during last presidential election a “black Obama supporter” assaulted her and wrote “b*tch” on her face. It turned out to be a hoax then too.

According to King’s staff, the mail came from a black Muslim woman who told the Congressman, “kiss my black Muslim tush,” in addition to other things.

Think about it for a minute. Why would a Muslim–prohibited from consuming or even HANDLING pork products–commit such a stupid and irreligious act? You don’t rob a home and leave your ID behind on the kitchen table. Besides, you would never live to see the day where you would hear a Muslim woman utter such a profanity, let alone to a Muslim man.

Trust me, this act was more than likely a publicity stunt from someone pretending to be a Muslim who shares Rep. King’s hostile views on Islam and its followers. It is a desperate attempt for media attention in order to vilify Muslims in America.

  2. Troškovi pružanja ove usluge variraju. Iz mog iskustva, telekomunikacijska tvrtka je mnogo više spremni pregovarati u sadašnjem trenutku. Dakle, ne ustručavajte se pitati za posebne stope ili diskonta.

  3. I cannot believe that somebody would do this. I am not sure what they are thinking here at all. Sending this in mail is so wrong. Something needs to be done with this.

  6. SEO works as magical formula and it is not easy to understand. Mostly Search Engine Optimization contains six parts Research for keywords, article creation submission to the web, bookmarking on social sites, video marketing and submission of RSS to the webs.
