A national Muslim civil rights group said Thursday it is moving its annual banquet out of a Virginia hotel that received bomb and death threats possibly linked to the group's concern for Palestinians caught in the Israel-Hamas war.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, canceled plans to hold its 29th annual banquet on Saturday at the Marriott Crystal Gateway in Arlington, just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The group, which has used the hotel for a decade, will move the banquet to an undisclosed location with heightened security, the group's statement said.

It is going to get ugly again. Now the bigots have to chose between Muslims and Jews. They will probably attack both.

SFC Bernard Walko - I am not referring to the war ongoing now, I was referring to some of the hard-corps bigots here in the US. Many of them cannot or will not differentiate between "Muslim" and "terrorist."

We had a couple of school lockdowns and the swat team has been working around here too.
