- Wryly, on 09/29/2008, -27/+169End GOP terrorism.
- astroknave, on 09/29/2008, -7/+138Those poor children.
This is not the America that both my grandfather's fought for. - alkalinesky, on 09/29/2008, -14/+133End the hate!!
- revgerry, on 09/29/2008, -9/+114What a terrible tragedy. We can see how people in America can become terrorists just like people in other countries, when they are filled with fear unlike themselves, and perhaps it can help us to understand.
- plach72, on 09/29/2008, -9/+103I am so embarassed. You would think in the fifty years since people were bombing black churches and killing children....we would have grown up. Apparantly not. I apologize to these families and their loved ones. We really aren't all horrible. Maybe this will make Bush declare War on Ohio Terrorists now.
- Evergreen2U, on 09/29/2008, -7/+92Was this a direct result of the DVDs sent out by the Clarion Fund? "Obsession"?
- hungrycoyote, on 09/29/2008, -4/+71There's a blog post about this here:
Muslim Children Gassed at Dayton Mosque After "Obsession" DVD Hits Ohio
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/28/203016/697 ... - astroknave, on 09/29/2008, -8/+72The attackers are un-Christian:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" (Matthew 22:36 NIV). Jesus replied, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:37-40 NIV).
These people are our neighbors and fellow American citizens. - artguyko, on 09/29/2008, -2/+59i hope they find the terrorists involved, and i hope they are
charged with terrorist acts on U.S. soil. These acts
hurt everyone of us. I grew up a JAB (jewish american baptist,)
i stood outside and helped guard a local mosque after sept 11.
Acts like these make my heart hurt. - ColumbusLee, on 09/29/2008, -4/+60This is a copy of an email I received from Beth a friend of mine who is friends with the Iraqi refugees
Local Iraqi refugees flee mosque
She told me that the gas was sprayed into the room where the babies and children were being kept while their mothers prayed together their Ramadan prayers. Panicked mothers ran for their babies, crying for their children so they could flee from the gas that was burning their eyes and throats and lungs. She grabbed her youngest in her arms and grabbed the hand of her other daughter, moving with the others to exit the building and the irritating substance there.
The paramedic said the young one was in shock, and gave her oxygen to help her breathe. The child couldn't stop sobbing.
This didn't happen in some far away place -- but right here in Dayton, and to my friends. Many of the Iraqi refugees were praying together at the Mosque Friday evening. People that I know and love.
I am hurt and angry. I tell her this is NOT America. She tells me this is not Heaven or Hell -- there are good and bad people everywhere.
She tells me that her daughters slept with her last night, the little one in her arms and sobbing throughout the night. She tells me she is afraid, and will never return to the mosque, and I wonder what kind of country is this where people have to fear attending their place of worship?
The children come into the room, and tell me they want to leave America and return to Syria, where they had fled to from Iraq. They say they like me, their Auntie Beth, and other American friends -- but they are too afraid and want to leave. Should a 6 and 7 year old even have to contemplate the safety of their living situation?
Did the anti-Muslim video circulating in the area have something to do with this incident, or is that just a bizarre coincidence? Who attacks women and children?
What am I supposed to say to them? My words can't keep them safe from what is nothing less than terrorism, American style. Isn't losing loved ones, their homes, jobs, possessions and homeland enough? Is there no place where they can be safe?
She didn't want me to leave her tonight, but it was after midnight, and I needed to get home and write this to my friends. Tell me -- tell me -- what am I supposed to say to them?
Beth - crayonupthenose, on 09/29/2008, -3/+56Start emailing the news organizations. It is unbelievable that this isn't being covered everywhere. CNN News Tips website is here: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/tips/newstips.html
- Philly526, on 09/29/2008, -3/+55It's not Ohio, and whether or not it's a direct result of the DVD, the message it contains can only serve to incite and exacerbate whatever prejudice and hate already exists. The McCain campaign needs to do the right thing and speak out against this kind of terrorism by Americans.
- Uebermensch, on 09/29/2008, -3/+49Nobody's saying, Arishia, that this is the terroristic equivalent of a Watergate, perpetrated by G.O.P. operatives on behalf of some shady right-wing think tank. Nobody's saying that. However, it bears mentioning that this is the result of the atmosphere of terror that particular Party, and those particular individuals, have cultivated into its fullest bloom these past eight years.
Prior to September 11th, it was possible in this nation to know Muslim-Americans, to work alongside Muslim-Americans, and, above all, to *befriend* Muslim-Americans. Today it's different. Today we are expected to regard them suspiciously, to keep them under close surveillance. And why? Because, we're told, they want nothing more and nothing less than to destroy our nation (untrue, but boy, it still suckers in a lot of middle-class Americans). I for one am tired of it. I was tired five years ago, when still in High School, when I was told that I could no longer be with my best friend because his family were immigrants from Lebanon. I was tired of it two years after that, when, en-route to the World Series, I saw a group of bearded Muslim-American men pulled out of the boarding line of my plane to be roughly accosted by security guards. I am tired of the paranoia that George W. Bush has allowed to fester in our nation because it benefits his political purpose.
I am tired. And now I'm scared, not of Muslim-Americans, but of ourselves. - DancingAngels, on 09/29/2008, -3/+46This DVD has been sitting on my table in my foyer for a couple of days. I just place it in my mailbox marked "Return to Sender". I encourage others in Ohio and other states to do the same!
- NWTerriD, on 09/29/2008, -3/+46This happened at the end of a week in which thousands of copies of "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" -- an anti-Muslim documentary DVD that a pro-McCain group is distributing by the millions in swing states via mail and insertion in major newspapers -- were distributed in Ohio.
McCain needs to show some REAL leadership instead of the stuntsmanship he's been pulling lately. He needs to denounce the vile hatemongering DVD distribution campaign, denounce the terrorism perpetrated on children, make a trip to the mosque to personally apologize to the families, and call on his supporters to contribute in some way to the investigation, or the medical bills, or the mosque. - Muzikal203, on 09/29/2008, -5/+43This is truly disgusting. The people who did this are heartless and evil, and it doesn't surprise me at all considering who that DVD was sent to help and the convention the Republicans put on earlier this month. I hope whoever did that burns in HELL with gasoline underwear.
- Uebermensch, on 09/29/2008, -3/+41Unbelievable. We've all known that right-wing histrionics and fear-mongering tactics have caused irrevocable harm to our nation in the past, but this is beyond the pale. It's also unacceptable. Those individuals responsible for perpetrating a murderous attack against Americans of -any- religion, as well as those responsible for producing and distributing the media which incited them to such horrific violence, must be apprehended, charged, and prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law.
- JFTAML, on 09/29/2008, -10/+47End right wing terrorism - this is disgusting
- inactive, on 12/08/2008, -3/+40This is horrible. What the Hell is matter with these nuts? Attacking children???
This is what we get with people like McCain saying we should hate "Islamists" instead of terrorists. If he gets into office (God forbid) I believe we'll be seeing more of this kind of hate crime. Disgusting. - thepoliticalcat, on 09/29/2008, -2/+38Oh, this is so disgusting. How can we decry Palestinian and Iraqi suicide bombers blowing up children if we, right here, are willing to poison little children for their parents' choice of religion. How can we do that and still call ourselves human?
- JuliaC, on 09/29/2008, -7/+42This is hideous. John McCain needs to denounce these nutjobs who are sending this DVD out in the name of GOP campaigning.
- marabout40, on 09/29/2008, -9/+44First the Unitarian Church shooting in Tennessee and now this. OMG! When will we rid ourselves of these hateful people! Why do we tolerate them amongst us?!
Let us rid ourselves of these homegrown, overpaid terrorists:
Real terrorists: Neal Boortz, Michael Reagan, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Jim Quinn, Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Eddie Burke, Sean Hannity, Anne Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Karl Rove. All neocon terrorists! - sharpfork, on 09/29/2008, -5/+37Like the religious terrorists that threaten abortion clinics, I bet this gets little play in the "liberal" MSM.
- Yzet, on 09/29/2008, -1/+33This is horrible, to add to the sickness of it all the victims are Iraqi refugees - we tear up their country with an invasion built on lies, cause them to flee as refugees...first to Syria, then here, only to have their children hurt in a terrorist attack.
Layers upon layers of stupid and evil.
Makes my heart and my head hurt.
I am so sorry, ashamed, and sick that people in my country are like this. - mousers1968, on 09/29/2008, -8/+39This is really sick! Mr McCain-denounce this now.
- mousers1968, on 09/29/2008, -2/+32Send a little message to CNN about this. They might give it a look if we hit this hard enough.
http://www.cnn.com/feedback/tips/newstips.html - hungrycoyote, on 09/29/2008, -0/+30The article in the Dayton newspaper specifically says:
"According to fire dispatch communications, a child reported seeing two men with a white can spraying something into a window. That child was brought to the supervising firefighter at the scene."
http://www.daytondailynews.com/n/content/oh/story/ ... - SevenSheaves, on 09/29/2008, -3/+31Here is the e-mail address of the Clarion Fund if you want to let them know what you think of their DVD
info@clarionfund.org - ChessPieceFace, on 09/29/2008, -1/+28This is sick. Acts like this are a direct result of all the GOP and theocon fear mongering that we have been subjected to over the years.
- mousers1968, on 09/29/2008, -5/+32Email the group responsible for sending out this piece of trash and demand that they appologize to the victims of this crime:
info@clarionfund.org - Arishia, on 09/29/2008, -10/+36American terrorists. Great. I hope McCain is pleased with himself.
- Muzikal203, on 09/29/2008, -2/+28I'm in Ohio, and we aren't all bad. This is yet another reason to dislike people who don't even try to understand/empathize with people different from themselves. Imagine in Black people treated white people the way they deserved to be treated after slavery and Jim Crow, and hell some of the BS we still deal with today. Look at all of the hoops Obama has to jump through when he's clearly a better candidate. There are too many people in this country who are too eager to hate for no reason.
- ArthurPoet, on 09/29/2008, -2/+28This is really nasty lowlife political tactics, and those sick people who gassed children, are even more ill, but obviously of the same breed as people who promote such hate propaganda for political gain !
- paintgrl, on 09/29/2008, -3/+28I am so ashamed of anyone who is a citizen of this country committing such hate filled acts. We are the United States of America, we up hold the freedom of religion.
I really hope the scum bag that did this will get caught. - deedr00, on 09/29/2008, -3/+28Targeting children in this way is terrorism-- plain and simple. So I hope we are investigating this AS TERRORISM.
- stillcool, on 09/29/2008, -2/+27I feel sick.
- alkalinesky, on 09/29/2008, -2/+26Yes! And the full story is here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/28/203016/697 ... other Digg link here: http://digg.com/politics/Muslim_kids_Gassed_at_Day ...
- stonesong, on 09/29/2008, -2/+26Our young men and women in Iraq and Afganistan will be so pleased to know that John McCain is threatening the safety of the very people, they are dying to protect. How's that love for our soldiers and veterans doing, John? How's putting our country, its people first going for you, John? Is there anything you will not sell out?
- Echota, on 01/05/2009, -3/+26This is horrible! We must do our best to expose it and fight it!
- ajamer, on 09/29/2008, -2/+25heres the original warning article

Muslim Children Gassed at Dayton Mosque After "Obsession" DVD Hits Ohio - inactive, on 12/08/2008, -2/+25I'm not a Christian, but I know that Jesus taught peace. I don't understand how people who call themselves Christians can justify, within themselves, doing this sort of thing.
- InsultComicDog1, on 09/29/2008, -4/+26Nice going wingnuts, I'm sure you're proud of yourselves.
- Vbp6us, on 09/29/2008, -2/+24This is terrorism on our soil. I hope they catch the perpetrators in this case and pursue the full amount of the law to put them behind bars. This is very upsetting to hear, I'm sorry.
- mrmount, on 09/29/2008, -0/+21I wonder if this incident will be reported in mainstream media! I hope it does...
- jgauder, on 09/29/2008, -5/+24Dugg... I'm from Dayton
- stonesong, on 09/29/2008, -7/+24Exactly. And it is the not the America our brave sons and daughters are dying for right now. They fought and died to free the Iraq people from fear and tyranny. How dare McCain's campaign be connected with something that so diminishes their sacrifice.
- Ne007, on 09/29/2008, -0/+17I am in Ohio and I can attest to the fact that it is full of the brainwashed Christian right that watches Fox News.
These people seriously are convinced we are in a holy war against Islam. God vs. the devil in their eyes.
It's sick. - paintgrl, on 09/29/2008, -1/+17If you know an artist maybe they could collect thousands of these DVDs and spell out the word hate really big. I am sure that get the attention of the Media.
- mrmount, on 09/29/2008, -1/+16I wonded if this incident will reach the main stream media! I sincerely hope it does...
- inactive, on 09/29/2008, -2/+17It's time to take back the Republican Party from the big government chickenhawks and bring it back to true conservatism, not this ***** quasi-imperialist system that's been in place since the Reagan era.
