Watch: Virginia town hall meeting descends into chaos as anti-Muslim bigots scream insults

I'm not going to watch but the rampant nativism and xenophobia makes me sick and it's been building for a longtime now even before the attacks in Paris.

Why they so afraid of Muslims for? I thought every American had the right the bare arms. You got a gun and you still shook? Bunch of loud mouth patriot pussies if you ask me.

The anti-Muslim sentiment right now seems worse than it was after 9/11.

Not really. I am being practical when I say no more refugees for now. We have enough problems and don't need more tension and more problems right now when other ME nations aren't pulling their weight. I don't care about religion or race or creed so much when it comes to these people. For Trump, his supporters and the GOP in general, this is solely about media propaganda, groupthink and racism.

I dunno, this argument kind of sounds like a perfect excuse because there will damn near always be a "good" reason to not take in refugees. If it's not the economy it's social cohesion, or else it's "but we have to fix our education system first" or else it's "but what about our homeless" (this one taken from another thread) and if all fails, "what about our security", etc.

I dont think so, remember, anti-Islamic hate crimes rose over 1000% after 9/11

FBI: Dramatic Spike in Hate Crimes Targeting Muslims

Immediately after the 9/11 attacks, anti-Muslim hate violence skyrocketed some 1,600%.

And if I remember right anti-islamic hate crimes have never fallen to pre-911 levels.
