Re: “Secure Communities program subject of recent federal hearing”
Democracy Now! did an interview with Fanny Martinez, an undocumented student, who was arrested in a civil disobedience act protesting SCOMM in Chicago. She talked about the resistance to the SCOMM task force which seeks to reform the program and said that "As long as it exists, you know, people will always have that on their mind." "We just want to terminate it."

Re: “Secure Communities program subject of recent federal hearing”
"...full-fledged deportation machine for any nonwhite person unfortunate enough to be caught driving without a license."
I find this comment extremely racist since there are white people who are in the United States contrary to law and are most assuredly deported. The law is race neutral. Nonwhites are deported in greater numbers because they violate the law in greater numbers and that is called statistics.

Rebecca, thanks for the "perfectly nice man with a sense of humor."
I did read your response, and we can agree to disagree. But your civil tone is appreciated.

Well, maybe my grammer isn't so good, but I'm a Bible-believing' gun owning, death penalty supportin' American through and through and these muslims should be sent back to SHARIA LAW!!!PC is killing this country! The Bible's the inerror word o' God and America's a Christian Nation! Our Constitution was based on the Bible, not SHARIA LAW! There ain't no comedy in SHARIA LAW, that's for sure!.........SHARIA LAW (I really like typing that in all caps).
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
Josh, read the Bible some time too! And study the history of Christianity! Fascinating stuff!
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
The difference between muslims is what there koran teaches, anything but muslims must die! read the book and study a little bit before making your "love everybody comments". as a matter of FACT, study the history of their hero mohammed! tell me how great of a guy he was...
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
Yeah, that's real funny. Learn about the muslim religion and you will see what all the buzz is about. Happen to notice the recent "bashing and attacks on Christianity? I have. Next you will write an article on killing Jews again. Thiss is how it started last time.

I guess it's a good thing our founding fathers didn't care about the use of proper grammar! Ain't that right packrat?
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
our founding fathers intended this country to be one free from religious persecution, not a bible-believin Christian country. but you're right; i do think they are spinning in their graves.
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
OK, whatever so they were born in Jersey. STill should send all them Muslims back to their countries of their parents. Dang Muslims! They get all the breaks. PC is killing this country! Christians can't catch a break in America anymore! The Foundingfathers are spinning in their graves. They were bible-believin' Christians and intended this country to be FOR CHRISTIANS NOT TERRORISTS!!! Send these comedian Muslims back to SHARIA LAW!!!!
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
Its funny I continuously see "Why don't these Muslims go back to their own country" When this is their country they were born and raised here.
The head comic is half white and half Palestinian!
The ignorance oozing out of these comments shows the intelligence of the American public!
Read a book we are all immigrants at one point or another and these are all internationally known comedians, so they are obviously doing something right!
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
This is a smart and a pleasant way for enlightenment. I am full of pride and hope in this new Muslim -Arab - American generation. Good luck guys.
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
Here are some more jolly Muslims. They're a laugh riot!

I guess the up-side of having to live in a place with rampant Islamophobia is that you actually get to see these guys for FREE. They're hilarious, and Murfreesboro is lucky to get them. GOOD LUCK, GUYS! And thanks for spreading the word that Muslims are... um... human (and funny).
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
Comments like the above are the exact reason why what these comedians are doing is so important and needed. Maysoon, Dean, Negin, and Omar, I wish you the best of luck in this tour. I can't wait to see the documentary!
Re: “A troupe of Muslim comedians prepares to unleash its satirical jihad on the Bible Belt”
Soapy, seriously? Who cares? Certainly not me. There were Muslims working in the World Trade Center on 9/11, and they were killed. That was a political attack orchestrated by al Qaeda, in case you haven't read the news.
Political radicals distorted religious texts to inspire extremists to wage attacks, the same way political radicals use religious texts to inspire extremists to bomb abortion clinics.
And, for God's sake, I hope no one is building any churches near the site of the Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City! How disrepsectful that would be!
Re: “A recent Tennessean piece trashing paroled ex-felons has advocates and former prisoners up in arms”
Point the first: there is no such thing as an ex-felon. Once a person has a felony conviction... they are a felon. That is what a felon is. A person who committed a felony. (Where did you get your journalism degree?)
Point the 2nd: Of course the picture was in context! It went with the headline regarding these VIOLENT OFFENDERS are on call-in parole. It was not a piece about offenders becoming barbers. 2nd Degree Murder is a VIOLENT OFFENSE.
Point the 3rd: Buckner is STILL serving a sentence... he is just not serving it behind bars.
Point the 4th: That is all great and all that he is not behind bars. blahblahblah poor killer using his energy to put his life back together. I wonder how much energy the family of the victim is expending trying to put their life back in after the KILLER BUCKNER made the decision to take that person's life???
Point the 5th: Did I iterate HE IS A KILLER???
