So this is how ****ing crazy people are--this guy obviously isn't Muslim but is mistaken as such, he is only an observer voicing his opinion that he supports the idea of the mosque. This might as well be a clan rally. The cop and some other guy ask him to move along not so much because they want to step on his rights, but because in all likely hood violence would break out.
He's American, his name is Kenny, he's a carpenter, and they attacked him (verbally) because he wore a hat that looked Muslim!
It is ridiculous to compare the Tea Party to the KKK...Tell me my left wing friends do you see Teas Partiers lynyching people?????
I believe he was attacked because he was pro mosque..............

See a right-wing protest. Check.
find an idiot among the right-wingers. Check.
Make him the focus of your story, and imply all the protesters are just like him. Double points for portraying all protesters as bigots of some kind. Check.
Well done, my left-wing friend, you've got the playbook down pat.

I loved the "SHARIAH" signs too. The level of racism was just over the top.

Glad these protesters are a minority... some of the signs there were completely off base. Also, I saw a lot of silver hair in that clip... goes to show what the face of bigotry looks like in modern day America: a demographic of old retirees with old, uninformed values. I loved the "SHARIAH" signs too. The level of racism was just over the top. The fact that the major press is giving coverage of activism that is protesting against religious freedom and freedom of speech, not to mention property rights, is just laughable.
I have to say though, that guy DID look like a Muslim. It looked like he was wearing a kufi and he even had the beads around his neck to go with it. Even though the crowd had no business attacking him, I understand why they did. Part of me even wonders if the guy deliberately dressed that way and then showed up, just to cause a stink.
and got into peoples faces.......... he was asking for it, probably a plant.
could be a daffodil.

From gawker.com:
As you can see in the video above, at some point during the rally, a dark-skinned man wearing an Under Armor skullcap and what looks like a necklace with a Puerto Rican flag walked through the anti-"Mosque" crowd. The crowd, astutely recognizing that he was on his way to build the mosque, began to chant "NO MOSQUE HERE" at him. In the video, someone says, "run away, coward." The man turns around, perturbed. "Y'all mother****ers don't know my opinion about ****," he says. Au contraire, my friend: You are a black man wearing a skullcap, after all! You are definitely a pro-Mosque, anti-freedom Jihadist! Why, aren't you, in fact... Osama Bin Laden??
No, actually, according to the guy who uploaded the video to YouTube, the skullcap-wearing gentleman's name is Kenny and he's "a Union carpenter who works at Ground Zero." Kenny is also—as he points out several times in the video—not a Muslim. (No word on whether or not he voted for Obama, as one of the very reasonable and intelligent-sounding anti-"Mosque" protestors speculates.) But I'll bet you Kenny has been totally convinced about the truth of the Burlington Coat Factory Desecration Community Center. Who wouldn't be?
I've seen flaws in both sides of this argument.
1.First off, can't we all just agree that for every bushel, no matter what, have their bad apples?
2.This is not a mosque, it's a community center.
3.This is not building a bridge of tolerance.
4.This is not a left vs right issue. Partisanship is making it that way. This is an issue of what the individual believes is right vs wrong. Politics and upcoming elections have grabbed us away from what we as individuals feel is the right thing to do, rather then siding with an argument for the pure fact that it may benefit our associated platform.
5.Calling someone a political hack for siding on this issue, from what I've seen, is double-edged.
Wow, I am truly inspired by the way this mosque is building bridges and inspiring a message of tolerance towards Islam. It was definitely beneficial to their goals which are obviously completely 100% truthful to build it where they're building it.
