Schlussel blog posting incites death threat against Dearborn Muslim?

"Know-nothing nut" blogger Debbie Schlussel struck again on May 11, 2008 with yet another bigoted blog posting about a Michigan Muslim activist named Najjah Bazzy. The post is based on her being honored on the American, not Arab, holiday "Mother's Day" at the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn Heights, Michigan.

Besides Schlussel spreading her usual inaccurate info such as the Islamic House of Wisdom being the second largest mosque in North America (it's not even the second largest in the Dearborn area), she smears Bazzy by linking her with Medicaid fraud, which Bazzy has never been charged or implicated with by law enforcement. This smear along with other statements made against Bazzy by Schlussel is nothing new.

This particular post, however, appears to show the effect of her bigotry to incite or at the least release hatred in the form of a death threat. See below what was written by one of her devotees named Rick:

Instead of that, just deport the whole lot of them to Mecca, and then send an ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missle) to follow them there.

We have learned that these comments were sent to local and federal authorities. Unfortunately for Rick, even if Schlussel erases these comments, law enforcement can retrieve them and use them for prosecution purposes. A man who sent a similar type of e-mail to Bazzy's imam in Dearborn was prosecuted and found guilty by a federal court.

Joe Kaufman - creator and chairman for an "Oxymoron [...] Hate-Spewing " Organization

Americans Against Hate is an organization that creates slander and uneducated, presumptive allegations that never have merit or truth. Joe Kaufman is a man with a plan to spread lies and hatred toward Islam and creates broad and unfounded accusations that never are logical. Americans Against Hate (AAH) does the exact opposite of what the title and scope of his organization assumes.

As recipient of the dubious Onion Award, Joe Kaufman's disgusting and dangerous slander makes him an anti-Muslim bigot. Considered a clown in disguise, Kaufman gets trashed left and right. He's made fun of more than many others because of his highly incompetent ability to properly and impartially understand religious and cultural ideology.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State gave Joe Kaufman the Onion Award in March of 2006, an unfavorable and comic award that goes out to "nut-jobs" like Joe. Bob Collette of Americans United for Separation of Church and State discusses Kaufman and the Onion Award as he states:

This is a man (Kaufman) who founded an organization called Americans Against Hate. It's the [...] Oxymoron, because all it does is spew hate!

Americans Against Hate is a website that is created to establish anti-everything that is associated with Islam and Muslims in general. Just like many other self-righteous bigots, Kaufman is considered to be a right-wing extremist with ties to Israeli terrorist organizations listed by the U.S. Department of State, and even has his blog articles prohibited in the Jewish Israeli Magazine due to his loyalties to Kahane Chai and Kach radical groups. (see "A Kahane Legacy Lost" written by Joe Kaufman under radicalwatch.blogspot.com)

On an interview with the Fox News television show Hannity & Colmes on August 23, 2007, Joe Kaufman is once again bashed by the media, as Colmes debates Kaufman's false assumptions:

Colmes: One of the things you've been protesting is this school as we talked about in the beginning of the introduction, and by the way, you understand that this is an Arabic language and cultural school, it is not an Islamic school, you understand the distinction, right?!

Kaufman: I understand that, but there are a lot of, uh, shall we say Islamic radicals that have been associated with this school, uh, we have no problem with (Cut-off by Colmes as he states)

Colmes: Who? Who for an example? Who are you calling a radical?

Kaufman: Well, I think the fact that the, that the, Principle designate [...] uh, had, had, uh, had supported these T-shirts calling for a violent uprising, or intifada, in New York City, uh, and she, she eventually resigned for that, uh, I think that would, that would pretty much (Cut-off again by Colmes as he states)

Colmes: Well, she interpreted it differently, she didn't say she supported violent uprising! And by the way, she's not a radical! And furthermore, why do you suppose this school was named [...] a peaceful Christian? As opposed to a Muslim, and someone who practiced and promoted peace? Why would you suspect that would be the case?

Kaufman: Well it's just like, uh, it's just like inviting someone that calls himself or herself a Rabbi to their events (referring to Rabbi Michael Feinberg, who after being verbally assaulted by Kaufman, the Rabbi responds with the comment below) they, they invite them, and then they send out a, a press release saying that they had a Rabbi at their event, uh, be just to make it, so that, so that they look like, they look like they like Jews. You know, uh, wink wink. But in reality, uh, either, uh you or uh, Shawn could put Yarmulke's on your head, and call yourself Rabbi's and you'll be just as much of a Rabbi as this fool.

(Incident being referred to prior to the H&C Interview with Kaufman)

Rabbi: I don't have to indict myself to you Nazi's! Listen, I've seen you with other groups too, you're some extreme right-wing nut-job! (now speaking to nearby security) Can you have that person removed and his camera from my face?!

Hannity: [...] is it accurate in your mind to call this school a Madrassa?

Kaufman: [...] Absolutely

Colmes: By the way, Madrassa means school, number one! Number two, in the 21-year history of this parade (referring to the Muslim Day Parade) can you cite 1 incident that's been a threat to security? In the 21 years they've done this parade?

Kaufman: Well, the, well the, first of all, Madrassa's are all throughout Pakistan and Afghanistan (Cut-off by Colmes again)

Colmes: Which means school! It means school.

Kaufman: and that's were people like Osama Bin Laden have, have, gotten their learning as well,

Colmes: alright in terms of this parade there's no evidence in the 21 years of anything other than the peaceful association and an assembly, I thank you very much.

Kaufman: Well, as, as I said, the groups are radical that are barred of this, uh part of this parade.


Colmes: As I said, there's no evidence of anything other than peacefulness during this parade. Thank you for being with us.

Debbie Schlussel, the Bigoted "Know-Nothing Nut"

As a registered attorney for the State of Michigan, Schlussel has not only shown to be bigoted and racist toward the establishment and prosperity of Muslims, but has also been found to engage in professional misconduct, in which attorneys are held to a higher ethical and moral standard here in the United States.

Schlussel's repeated and often misinformed slander and ethnically offensive remarks has civil rights attorneys and news reporters calling her a "know-nothing nut" (See Detroit News Editorial, Aug 19,2006) with a lot of time on her racist hands.

In relation to the professional misconduct, Schlussel has been found to "Masquerade in an Islamic disguise as Zeinab Saleh", (SEE PICTURE ABOVE), a clear violation of the guidelines set out in Rule 6.5 (a) of the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct, as the Michigan Rules state:

A lawyer shall treat with courtesy and respect all persons involved in the legal process. A lawyer shall take particular care to avoid treating such a person discourteously or disrespectfully because of the person's race, gender, or their protected personal characteristics.

With her constant slander and obvious racist and bigoted views, Schlussel is certainly treating her victims with a seemingly innate hatred toward Muslims and Arabs in general.

According to The Detroit News, an editorial written August 19, 2006 states:

Spelling lesson needed Shameless self-promoter and would-be commentator Debbie Schlussel is now calling Dearborn "Dearbornistan. Schlussel is nothing more than a chubby Ann Coulter, a shrill demagogue who gets in front of the camera only because she's willing to say the most offensive, obnoxious and outlandish things. Ignore this know-nothing nut.

Michael O'Brien wrote in The National Review, a conservative publication on August 7, 2007 that she is "the ever-irrational Debbie Schlussel."

According to Ari Berman of The Nation in his article written on April 10, 2008 titled LA Times Revives Obama Smear, he stated, "Debbie Schlussel, an inflammatory right-wing blogger and originator of the 'Obama is a Muslim' lie."

Schlussel's rampant and redundant slurs and slander not only demonstrate her lack of knowledge in relation to foreign affairs, but also describes her personality as a self-centered and close-minded individual with some of the most hateful and hate-creating remarks ever conceived.

Eventually, all the work she has been creating will only spiral off a large web of hatred, a cesspool of views and slander where she has the ability to create an everlasting hatred within the fabric of American society.

Schlussel needs to recognize that she is responsible for creating a hatred that will only divide Americans and politicians further and further, thus enacting a self-evolving web of fear, anger and frustration.
