A Muslim relief organization recently hosted a charity function in Orange County to raise money for women’s homeless shelters around the nation. Which, of course, calls for for a wild, epithet-flinging “protest.”
“We Surround Them OC912” is a right-wing activist group that set up camp outside the event, shouting racist barbs (and in some cases, death threats) at the event-goers, most of whom were Muslim-American families with children. Here were some of the stand-out quotes:
- Why don’t you go beat up your wife like you do every night? Maybe you ought to go have sex with a 9-year-old, and marry her!
- We don’t want you here! Go home! Go home! Go home!
- Muhammad was a child molester! Muhammad was a pervert! Muhammad was a fraud! Muhammad was a false prophet!
- I know quite a few Marines who would be very happy to help these terrorists to an early meeting in paradise.
And here’s the kicker: the flagrantly racist rally was attended and endorsed by United States Congressman Gary Miller and Congressman Ed Royce. Miller even addressed the anti-Muslim masses, saying, “I am proud of you. I am proud of what you are doing.”
Well, we’re not. We won’t beat a dead horse, but there’s a pretty obvious reason that the OC912 feels the need to defend itself on its Facebook page, declaring right off the bat that “we are not racists.” Because, well, they are.

The comments made by these “anti-muslim” people are creater of terrorist. If they make these types of stupid comments, do not you think it will make real muslim who do not abuse their wife mad. There may be some muslim out their do crazy stuff like they explained but it is just generalizing. 90 percent of muslim do not abuse kids and wife. Why these blind people do not see that. These political people are useing one race againt other race just for their own profit.
Muslim men are so repulsive. They are also pedophiles. Islam a pedophile death cult.
The mass deportation of all muslims and illegal aliens is the only thing i hope for.
Thanks for this piece Lu Fong… good to know the Orange County fruitcakes are being challenged on their vile racist rhetoric…
Islam isn’t a race.
Lu Fong, you do know, don’t you, that it’s possible for our fellow Americans to be terrorists? Timothy McVeigh and Ted Kaczinski come to mind pretty readily. As does Nidal Abu Hassan.
We’re talking about Muslims. Not men. Get off your high horse and realize not everything is about you–or men.
“Darndest”? Truly good men (a) oppose Islamofascism and (b) spell rite.
Nice of you to police our spelling of pop-culture nonwords. Try looking it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_Say_the_Darndest_Things
Muslims don’t cover their women. Fanatics do.
Know the differences.
I saw this going around. I’m disappointed in America. I hate being disappointed in America. I’m guessing the Venn diagram of people in Orange County that I’m embarrassed to call US citizens overlaps when you compare this hate speech with the Prop 8 hate speech, too. Ugh. Shameful.
I’m sanguine about my disappointment in America. The loyal opposition is a huge part of the problem. Still, it’s sad to see these guys in OC haranguing people trying to help a women’s shelter. They could, for example, support the ACLU’s effort to rid Minnesota of a charter school that promotes Islam in violation of the law. They’d still draw the ire of the multi-culti crowd but they’d at least be involved in something that isn’t sheer bile.
Actually, that was Gary Miller who said “I’m proud of you…” Both Royce and Miller attended the protest, thought.
