Hate Crime Quotes
The defendants included the County Sheriff, a deputy, and the Imperial Wizard of the Mississippi KKK who had ordered the murders. Cox, an inveterate racist (See {637614}.), gave the two men convicted of 1st degree murder, including the Klan leader, to only 10 years, and the 2nd degree murderers were only sentenced to 3-5 years as the trial was Federal for Civil Rights violations but the judge did not even impose the maximum jail sentence.
In 2013, Congress awarded its highest honor to the 4 young Black girls who were murdered in Birmingham, Alabama at the height of the Civil Rights Movement by the KKK who set off a bomb in the 16th Street Baptist Church. She was sister of Addie Mae Collins, one of the murdered girls, who herself was blinded in one eye and scarred badly in the bombing, refused the medal on behalf of her dead sister. She resented the fact that it had taken all these years for Congress to make this gesture and then would not do anything that might cost money such as monetary restitution. When the Muslim terrorists murdered people in the 9-11 World Trade Center attacks she and her husband observed, Congress swiftly arranged for restitution payments to go to the relatives of the murdered victims and to those wounded. However to her and many other people, when white terrorists murder black victims no monetary restitution many comes forth—only a medal. Although she cleaned houses for a living, she has had to pay medical costs out of her own pocket—she had no insurance then and could not get it until Obamacare as it was a “previous condition”. She has never even been reimbursed for those out of picked medical costs caused by white terrorists whose motives many racists still approve of.
This quotation was used both by those illustrating “Islamaphobia” even in the United States Congress, but also by those illustrating the level of ignorance or some members of Congress. While it is true, that the majority of terrorists at the time of this erroneous remark were Muslims, there were many others in addition to McVeigh. In addition to McVeigh’s accomplice, in America alone, there were many terrorists in prison for various bombings, sniper attacks, and the like. In Sri Lanka, the Tamil Tigers (Hindus), the inventors of modern suicide bombing, have been terrorizing that region for years. And in Nepal, a rash of Buddhist terrorists had almost paralyzed the country when she made her statement. And in the past, Muslim terrorism was far less than when she uttered the quotation and the Irish Republican Army, the Stern Gang in Israel, and dozens of others have been Christian and Jewish.
