"Nuke the Turban Head Muslims"

September 13, 2007

As the nation woke up to live broadcasts of 9/11 memorial services this Tuesday, I was shaken by an angry Indian mother telling me to shave my beard, just like she’s done every year since the tragic event filled Americans with disdain for all persons brown and bearded. She said people might, yikes, mistake me for a Muslim.

I’m brown, proud and too damn lazy to shave. And this seems to only bother other Indians. I just got back from an overseas vacation and to my family and friends’ surprise, I wasn’t hassled, cavity searched or anal probed by security. As much as I’d like to write off my mom’s paranoia as ignorance, it’s been a warranted precautionary measure for all South Asians and Middle Easterners ever since the hate crimes that followed and continue six years later.

We live in fear. We know our country’s history of persecuting its minority citizens. And we know that over-patriotic and under-educated Americans have a hard on for hatred toward us. Just check Craigslist’s Rants and Raves section, where morons engage in dumbass discussions and hurl racist remarks like it was a Klan rally in the 40s.

Here are a few gems from the Bay Area Craigslist:

“I use to be a non-racist person. That is until you ragheaded Islamic freaks had to come to this country and fuck it all up! You fucking Islamic ragheads are the one's responsable for 9/11. All you MotherFuckers are pieces of shit! You fucking stink and you are fucking rude.” – click-clack if you want to read more.

“Fuck Islam. I'm against Bush. Against the war in Iraq, but if you think for a second that I will convert to your Godless ‘religion’ then prepare for me to fight you to the death and take as many of you motherfuckers with me.”

“rememberr 9/11 kill a turban day”

I wonder what's being said in other communities and forums across the nation? And maybe I'll trim my beard just a little, for mom's sake.

Quit with this "brown" bullshit of yours. If you have Caucasian features and happened to be tan, you are no different than the Jews, Italians, Greeks, Turks, Iranians who are all listed as "white". But Indian is not a race, it's just a nationality. I guess "brown" refers to those Austrailoid Aboriginie Dravidian types, then sure. But you can grow facial hair, so I don't think you're some "brown" Asiatic Dravidian type. You're probably Indo-Aryan (Indo-Iranian) with Nordic Bone structure, but just tan coloring. All this bullshit going on is about culture not race dude. Muslims are not a race either, they are all races you can think of, just like the Indians. This is a culture war, not a racial war. Any ordinary Anglo-Saxon who grows his beard and wears a turban's is gonna get looked at funny or possibly shot too. Remember what happened to James Hetfield of Metallica when he got stopped in the UK, for having a long beard?, they thought he might be a Taliban, lol. So quit with this bullshit of yours. If Muslims weren't bigoted assholes who want to destroy all non-Muslims, we wouldn't be having this problem. Their gospel is entirely false and Satanic. Anyways, I'm a 6'4" tall U.S. Marine Jarhead, with origins to the Greeks/Scyths who settled on the northwestern border of what is India today. And I was born and raised in Michigan. With a background in military aviation and military policing. But I don't mark myself down as "brown", I mark down "White". Just because 90% of Indians are Dravidian, doesn't mean some of us are. You know some of us are Persian, European, Greek, Roman, Mediterranean. We assimilate very easily, especially when we're American Born. But you are an American like me, I can tell from your writing style and your laid back cool nature. And you have every right to live how you want to, shave or not, be lazy or not, it's your right as an American, to express yourself any which way you want. Also I have a right to post what I am posting here. And I would say this is a culture war not a race war. Those same "brown" people in Greece and Italy are "white" people here. So I think it has more to do with your culture, your behavior, your general personality, how you present yourself, your general aestetics. More than anything else. Because I've never had any problems. As a matter of fact I also work in patroling airports here along with the National Guard. But then again I don't know how many people think Caucasian Rajputs are really Indians, since we are of Greek and White Hun roots. But I understand where you are coming from too. Saka Rajputs aren't more than 1.5% anyways in the old country. I can tell you this, as you know, if you have high standards in your aestetics no one will think of you as "brown" or "terrorist" or any of that bullshit. Maybe Jew or Lebonese or something. That is unless you're a typical Indian Dravidian, but then you'll be called "curry muncher" not "terrorist", and wouldn't be able to grow thick beards. People wouldn't call you anything because you'd be closer to african or something. But you're probably a darker skinned caucasian, a "brown white boy", lol. So like your mother said, appearance and higher standards in aestetics might give you the upper hand, you'll look Jew rather than "brown" if you do so, lol. Now regarding terrorists and Muslims, if you read their bible, it says they have a right to destroy anything non-Muslim, so they are the real racists/bigots. We don't need permission to invade Muslim countries and give them a spanking, it is our duty to occupy, and regulate any Islamic nation by force. If they refuse to cooperate, we have a right to use deadly force. I myself am a Christian. A Born-Again Christian. But if you study Islam, and read the Koran, you will know how dangerous to the rest of the World Islam is. And is worst than the Nazis, it needs to be stopped and wiped out. The alternative is that Islam's adherents need to be taught that Islam is a False Gospel, and that they need Christian Bibles, so their Islam spell of deception is broken. Then they will be freed from the curse of Islam. But before we get that far with dealing with these Muslims, one of them usually tries to shoot at us so we return fire. And lastly for those fellas' posting all that stuff about nuking ragheads, well, wouldn't you be pissed if you lost relatives to an Islamic attack? of course! They're just venting, no need to take them seriously. But to be honest with you, if I saw some turban headed ragheads, it does go through my head time to time, to track them down and beat the living shit out of them. But then I'd be condemning myself and what I chose to support and defend: freedom. Personally dude, I wouldn't worry about anything, as long as you aren't an asshole, have some decent aestetics, manners and behave accordingly. Then you should be fine, you won't even be a target.
I Mexican but I look white.That doesn't have anything to do with any of this but I think you guys should know that I can ram cab cars and not get a ticket.
This guy "Justme" is fucking deluded! He can keep on ranting that he's white but he'll be considered brown from his looks. Fact is muslims no matter what race are fucking bigots and need to be dealt with! Period! It does not have anything to do with race!
muslims aren't bigots. people who think ALL muslims are bigots are the real bigots.
When will people learn to respect life and stop the violence?
