City Councilman Names Dog, “Mohammed”; Liberal Official Upset, Seeks Censorship
For years, I’ve gotten Muslim death, rape, and torture threats on my life, my parents’ lives, and my Holocaust survivor grandparents’ lives (of Blessed Memory). (Some of these were even praised by so-called conservative and authentic lunatic Emily Zanotti of the Thomas More Law Center and by bloggers and editors employed and paid by David Horowitz.) And never once has a single Jewish elected official or unelected, self-appointed community leader spoken out. Instead, they rush to snorkle the butts of the most extremist of Muslims. And so it goes with San Juan Capistrano City Councilman Larry Kramer, a Jewish (In Name Only) liberal who is upset that a fellow City Councilman named his dog, “Mohammed” (which is actually hilarious). So, Kramer is wasting valuable time and resources to make it illegal to mention the dog and its new name during City Council meetings. I just love how liberals (especially the ones who claim to be my fellow co-religionists) suddenly forget about the First Amendment and other civil liberties as they race to lick Muslim tuchus.
I and many other Jews and non-Jews have received some of the vilest e-mails, comments, and tweets against our Jewish and Christian faiths. Never a peep out of the self-righteous Councilman Kramer. Never a peep out of him when Muslims slaughtered the Fogel Family of Israel on the Jewish Sabbath (including beheading the baby), merely because they are Jews. But a guy naming his dog Mohammed, that’s something to be outraged by, right? Back in the day, I’m sure this asshat, Kramer, would have been upset when people named their dogs after Adolf Hitler. But this is how you demoralize the enemy. You name things they don’t like (dogs are haram–forbidden–in Islam) after them. You belittle them. Sadly, we’ve done the reverse for Muslims–kissing their butts ad infinitum. And it gets old.
More:
If an elected official names his dog Muhammad, San Juan Capistrano City Councilman Larry Kramer doesn’t want to hear about it during a public meeting.
So he is asking his council colleagues to set some ground rules on decorum.
The move comes after City Councilman Derek Reeve’s recent announcement that he named one of his family’s new basset hounds Muhammad.
Kramer, in a letter to the council, labeled Reeve’s comment “offensive.” (In the Arab world, dogs are traditionally considered unclean.)
It’s unclear whether Reeve, who didn’t return messages seeking comment for this story, intended the pet’s name as an insult. His other basset hound is named America.
Reeve mentioned both dogs’ names Sept. 6, as the council voted to authorize staffers to draw up plans for a dog park in the Northwest Open Space. His remark drew laughter from some in the audience. But others were not amused.
“Words spoken from the dais should be appropriate,” Kramer wrote in his letter, which was included with next Tuesday’s council agenda packet.
Kramer asked the City Council to discuss “appropriate decorum” at its next meeting.
In an article published Wednesday in the Voice of OC, Salam Al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, called Reeve’s dog-name announcement “childish.”
Yeah, because we all need to be lectured by a Muslim who said the Jews were behind 9/11, as Al-Marayati did on the radio on 9/11 just after the attacks. Yeah, because we all need to be lectured about dogs by a Muslim whose wife ran a charity that financed Islamic “martyrs” who murdered innocent civilians, as Al-Marayati’s wife did. Yeah, because we all need to be lectured about dog names by a Muslim who openly supports HAMAS and Hezbollah and compares Islamic terrorists to America’s founding fathers, as Al-Marayati did. Yeah, because we all need to be lectured about dogs names by a guy who defended the Hezbollah murder of over 241 U.S. Marines while they slept in the Beirut Barracks. Given all these details about Salam Marayati which I’ve previously detailed on this site, his column on dog’s names is absolutely hilarious. This is the same al-schmuck who got FOX to force Kiefer Sutherland to read a pro-Muslim disclaimer during a season of the “24.” Look in the mirror, habibi.
Reeve did not return an email request for comment for this story. On his Facebook page, he posted a link to the Voice of OC article with the comment, “Are you kidding me!”
The pet’s full name, according to another Facebook post by Reeve, is Muhammad Winchester Boone.
Fellow councilman Kramer said he “supports” free speech but expects council members to observe common courtesy.
“I was brought up to be respectful to others and to not insult or demean them,” he wrote in his letter. The council, he said, must decide “what action can be taken to ensure the decorum of the City Council.”
Well, I was brought up to believe that no-one, not even Larry Kramer, gets to decide what I have the right to say, even at a City Council meeting. As I’ve noted above, all of us have suffered many indignities and name-calling–and worse, death, rape, and torture threats, as I’ve received from Muslims–and Larry Kramer never cared.
Too busy Forever Buttkissing Islam. Hey, maybe he should joint the FBI. BTW, here is the update on the story, in which Reeve rightfully calls HAMAS’ CAIR a “terrorist organization” and attacks his fellow councilmen for worrying about his dogs name, and not “anything important.”
I recall Field Marshall Montgomery had dogs named “Hitler” and “Rommel.” (“Play dead, Hitler. Roll over, Rommel.”)
Free Speech INCLUDES the right to offend.
