I had way too many things yesterday that set me off into the rage stratosphere, so it was incredibly hard to pick just one thing to focus on in order to write a long-overdue entry. In fact, I tried my hardest to write this last night, but too many expletives were coming out, so I found it best to relax, sleep on it, then try again.

(Also, please note that this post is sometimes dripping with sarcasm.)

There aren’t many things in this world that render me completely nauseated (in an “I am quite embarrassed that I share the same continent with these people” way) than blatant, unabashed racism. I mean, just look at what we Americans have to be “proud” of when it comes to hate groups: Ku Klux Klan, The Nuwaubians, Aryan Nation, Nation of Islam, Volksfront, New Black Panther Party…

just to name a few.

We have our individuals who make us proud, like David Duke, Louis Farrakhan and Debbie Schlussel.

Yeah, that woman.

The rage inside of me today that the woman is responsible for is indescribable. I cannot even put into words how utterly vile I think she is.

And I despise her even more because I am about to sit here and write kind words about Amir Khan.

[disclaimer: I think Khan is a fantastic boxer, but I hold him in the same esteem as I do Floyd Mayweather, Jr. They’re just two boxers I love to hate, but I know they’re damn good at what they do.]

Schlussel wrote this blog entry, attempting to chastise the USA Today newspaper for “whining” about the fact that it took Khan a little while to get a work visa in order to be able to box this past Saturday night against Paul Malignaggi at Madison Square Garden. (Fact is, they merely mentioned that it was taking a little while for Khan to get his work visa. Being a UK citizen, Khan is allowed to enter the US for non-work related reasons through the visa waiver program.) Of course, if Debbie would have her way, he would have never been allowed in the country at all, because, in case you couldn’t tell by his name, he’s Muslim. Never mind the fact that he has probably done more for charity than Debbie could ever dream of doing. Forget the 2004 tsunami relief work, or the helping of children in Kasmir after the earthquake in 2005. Forget various charity work around Bolton (Greater Manchester, England) for families of police injured in the line of duty. Not to even mention the community center he built to get kids off the streets. These are just the things I’ve read about the guy over the past few years.

Never mind the fact that he does indeed denounce terrorism, contrary to what Schulssel would like you to believe. He’s Muslim, therefore, in Debbie’s little world, he is evil and does not deserve to step foot on American soil.

(Now who’s going to tell her that he’s making a move to Los Angeles since he’s being promoted by Oscar de la Hoya and training with Manny Pacquiao?)

I only went off on that Amir Khan rant because I saw it while I was perusing Ms. Schulssel’s uplifting blog after I was linked on Twitter to one of her posts about Miss USA, who, in case you haven’t heard, is a beautiful Arab-American girl named Rima Fakih, from Michigan.

*sarcasm alert* Excuse me, she moved to Michigan with her family from Lebanon when she was a child. Therefore, she isn’t an American, or something like that.

You remember what Miss USA is – the completely irrelevant beauty pageant that no one really gives a crap about anymore? That is, unless there’s some kind of controversy. Did anyone even remember there was a Miss USA pageant before that whole Carrie Prejean debacle? Perhaps the controversy shouldn’t be that an Arab-American (emphasis on the “American”) from Dearborn, Michigan won the Miss USA pageant. Perhaps the controversy should be that this is the second year in a row we’ve got controversy emerging from the pageant and that Donald Trump is just trying to boost ratings for next year’s contest. You know everyone’s going to be watching to see what new controversy could possibly top the evil Muslim Miss USA. Ok, maybe not. But I digress.

See, Debbie here knows (for a “fact,” mind you) that Fakih was put in the pageant world not because she enjoys it, but because it’s all a ploy by Hezbollah to get people to think that there are some Muslims just like you and me, members of the non-Muslim world. They used this girl’s beauty, allowed her to dress provacatively, go unveiled (because you know how all Muslim women have to cover up) and show off all in the name of taqiyya,
a Shi’a Muslim concept that allows followers to basically hide the fact that they are Muslim when they are in danger. Being a scholar of Islam, I’d really think that Debbie would know that not all Muslims believe in taqiyya, and that it does not mean “deception of infidels to further the cause of Islam/jihad.”

These are a few selected jewels that I feel the need to address:

Rima Fakih, Miss Michigan USA… is a Dearbornistan Shi’ite Muslim who is a supporter of Hezbollah and used the pageant name at a forum promoting Islamic subjugation of women. [link to post]

Note: Schulssel does not, in anyway, note where she received her information about Fakih being a Hezbollah supporter, or about her family members being high ranking in Hezbollah, other than saying she received her information from her “intelligence sources” (because we all know that those working in intelligence for the U.S. government have nothing better to do than cater to this insane nutjob). Also, this is the forum she mentioned (it was linked in the same entry!) which seems, to me at least, that it was more of a forum held to quell suspicions and rumors about Muslim women (perhaps Deb should have attended).

There’s a reason that even Al-Manar TV–Hezbollah’s official TV network–is high on Fakih in the Miss USA pageant. [link to post]

Where? I’m looking on the Al-Manar TV website and I see nothing. Am I overlooking it?

Dear CIA/FBI/U.S. government web police: I do not support Hezbollah. I was on this site and am linking to this site to merely make a point.

But wait, y’all! Deb has bonafide PROOF that Rima Fakih has ties to Hezbollah – because these guys listed in this entry all … wait for it … have the surname FAKIH! And (yes, it gets even better!) there are five (1,2,3,4,5!) Hezbollah terrorist that were killed by Israel that were … wait! … all from her hometown in Lebanon that she left when she was 7-years-old! Wait. I have the last name of someone who killed a guy in Arizona. THAT MEANS I HAVE A FAMILY FULL OF MURDERERS!

Right?

No?

I need to talk to Debbie for a minute.

Look, Deb (may I call you Deb?), female to female… You’re a vapid twat (not the word I wanted to use here) plain and simple. I quit reading your drivel a while back. Remember when you said you knew Kelly McGillis was a lesbian because of her haircut and shoes? That’s when I decided that I couldn’t continue to let someone so small-minded get me angry.

What baffles me, Deb, is your insane intolerance for a group of people based on their race and religious beliefs. You’re Jewish. Your grandparents survived the Holocaust. Your mother was born in a Nazi concentration camp. Your very own family was persecuted because of RACIAL & RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE, Deb!

… deep breaths …

I want to help you, Deb. I want you to become something other than that “batshit crazy blonde wingnut.”

I want you to start using citations whenever you’re trying to prove something that links to something other than one of your previous blog entries, which links to another one, which links to another one, etc. Just a simple citation to something other than one of your other blog entries would give you a smidge of credibility. Notice I said a smidge. You’ll have to do a whole lot more than that to obtain an
ounce of credibility.

You’re going to have to educate yourself on Islam. I know you said that
you speak Arabic and are an expert on terrorism, but really, Deb. You and I both know that you’re nothing but a farce.

You’re a racist lunatic with one mission and that is to spew your hatred of Muslims and try to get as many people as you can to jump on your bandwagon, so they will go out into the world and spew forth your ridiculous ideas, thus creating a world without Muslims – and a world full of hate. You want to rid the world of Islam. You hate Muslims. You find them repulsive. You don’t want anyone to patronize their businesses. You spread fear amongst non-Muslims, telling everyone how they want to infiltrate the American way of life so they can finish their jihad and rid the world of the United States. The really scary part is that people actually hang on your every word.

You know, your hate speech and vile, not to mention ignorant, rhetoric sure does remind me of someone…
