Hate comes to Brevard.

On February 14th at 6:30 pm in the Brevard County facilities in Viera, there will be a meeting of people who hate Muslims based solely on Islam being a different faith. As harsh as that sounds it is the blunt and unvarnished truth. Although this blog may alert even more whackjobs to the event than before, I feel that it is imperative that sane and reasoned people who have more tolerance should be aware that the county facilities that their tax dollars paid for, are being used to teach hate.

Act! for America is a group who's founder has called all Muslims "barbarians", and thinks that anyone who practices Islam cannot be a loyal American. Even the publicist for one of her hate-filled books called her views "extreme". The Southern Poverty Law Center has published a report on the anti-Muslim activities of Brigitte Gabriel who is the founder and leader of ACT!for America.

That our county facilities are being used for such a bigoted and disgusting event is appalling. I would venture just 1 guess as to which Brevard County Commissioner offered up the use of county facilities for this meeting. Brevard County is better than this. We should be above demonizing an entire religion just because acts of terrorism were committed in the name of that religion. To follow that point of view to it's logical conclusion, Christianity is to blame for the Ku Klux Klan and a host of other radicals who interject God into their ideology.

As I said earlier, this blog may encourage even more of those who hate to attend the ACT! meeting, but I feel that it is important that rational and concerned citizens who love America and honor the Bill of Rights, should be made aware of the shameful way our government facilities are being misused. There is still time for the sane members of the County Commission to rectify this outrage.
